Feeling massive at 23 weeks

Hi everyone,
I'm due baby number 3 in July, and was just wondering if anyone is in the same boat?
First 2 pregnancies I was very neat right up until about 30 weeks (both girls btw) I actually ended up lighter at the time of birth than pre-pregnancy. this time I just feel like I am expanding by the hour, my belly mostly, but also have weight lying on my face and in weird places like my neck and back.

Please say some of you found this with some of your pregnancies. I'm just at a loss as to how different it is this time 🙄

I'm also pregnant with my third and due at the beginning of July.

I'm a week and a bit ahead of you, and when I got out of the shower this evening, I looked in the mirror and thought I looked full term! I seem to look massive come the evenings and especially after I've eaten.

I'm pregnant with no.2 and absolutely huge. With my first I didn't pop out until 24 weeks or so and remained pretty small until about 32 weeks when I became absolutely enormous. I'm only 20 weeks and my bump is the same as when I was 30 weeks last time...it's nuts. I can only assume my abdominals have completely given up the ghost.

Also due my third in July! Also feeling massive but I don't think I am as big as my first pregnancy all over, if that makes sense. But my bump seems enormous ! I was the smallest with my second. God knows how I have room for 15 more weeks of growing 😬

Thanks ladies, it's just crazy how different it is this time. After 2 previous pregnancies that where so straight forward I think my abdominal have just given up and thought what's the point. It doesn't help that nice maternity wear is like hens teeth, and I can't get away with my own clothes any more . Grin

I went to a pub last year in September and the waitress noticed I was pregnant... I was only 11 weeks.

Safe to say, i'm now 36 weeks with a baby measuring 4+ weeks ahead based on bump height and scans Hmm

Hahaha yep, also pregnant with third and even my midwife said oh your bump is big! Errr thanks haha. It really freaked my toddler out as well. I'm waiting for it to get warmer to get my maternity stuff out and in the mean time wearing DH's clothes!

I feel the same, I was quite small with my first and didn’t start showing till 20+ weeks. I’m pregnant with my second and feel huge! Shows in my face and arms 😩
I’m 33+3 and feel and look like I’m further along Hmm
