Considering I’m 11 weeks 1 day I’m pretty impressed, a bit terrified and amazed by my body already!!

Pregnancy + app says baby is only 5.4cm long - so where’s the other 10cm of stomach growth come from?! 😂

I never thought I’d be lucky enough to have a second child and my ds1 is 17, so I mostly feel so bloody happy to be pregnant but OMG I’m so scared I’m going to be the size of a house!! It’s like my belly has just popped straight back out again and I’ve put on a stone already.

Please wise mumsnetters has anyone else grown really quick and early and then slowed down so as not to be the size of a house?

I’m already dreading thinking about post birth body - but I don’t even want to think so negatively of my body when I know I’m lucky, oh the joys of being a woman and pregnancy hormones!

I'm sure people will say this all the time but have you had a scan to confirm just one?
I am 35 weeks with my second pregnancy (son is only 21 months old though) I started to have a small bump around 11 weeks ish and I'm carrying twins x

Also congratulations on your pregnancy x

This was me at just 12 weeks this pregnancy.

My bump was bigger at 12 weeks but I'm
Having twins! It does feel like the longest pregnancy on earth this time though because I started showing so early (9 weeks definite bump and in maternity clothes)

Thanks for sharing your bumps too ladies.

Congratulations on the twins both @ivfbeenbusy and @emma911030!

Congratulations too @LayingLow for number 4! Were you also showing at 12 weeks and did you show early with your previous pregnancies?

I didn’t show with my first ds until I was about 16 weeks....

I had an early scan through the EPU at 6 weeks due to pains, they only saw 1 then but I suppose they could I missed another??
On Tuesday I’m having my 12 week so I guess will know for definite then - but I do think it’s only 1 and I just have a big tum popping out!

Hey. I’m 12 wks with no.4 and I’m definitely showing. I also showed early with no.3. Despite this I wasn’t massive. In fact got growth scans with no.3 because I was measuring small at the end. I think it all evens out.

This is my last pregnancy so I’m going to worry about my post baby body after! (I am a bit scared though!)

No and I’m gutted :( 16 weeks and flat as a pancake :( :(

HappyDaze90 · 27/11/2020 13:58

Wow! You are literally a week further along than me and I’m as flat as a pancake still! 😓

I can’t wait to start showing 😂
I have read that any further pregnancies from you first, you’ll show quicker.

All the best in your pregnancy lovely 💕

HotDiggidy2017 · 27/11/2020 19:20

@HappyDaze90 glad it’s not just me 😂 disappointed but also, who would see anyway...? 🤔

Namechangedforthisoct2 · 28/11/2020 08:25

Congratulations @Moo678, @HotDiggidy2017 & @HappyDaze90! The good thing is you get to keep wearing your own clothes for longer!

@HotDiggidy2017 and @HappyDaze90 don't feel disappointed! Think how many different sizes and shapes you see in the scan waiting room!
I'm 20 weeks and have the tiniest of bumps, just like I've eaten a big meal! I dont mind this at all, baby is growing just fine and I am comfy in my clothes.

Congrats everyone on your pregnancies 😊
