I’m 14 weeks with my second pregnancy or third counting a miscarriage and look absolutely ginormous compared to my first. I look how I did at 6 months! My starting weight is only 5 lbs heavier than with my first and a healthy BMI but I feel softer on the hips, thighs etc as well as big very pregnant looking bump. My boobs are also bigger than they’ve ever been and just generally feel like a big ball because I’m only 5’’3.

With my first pregnancy I had a really neat bump and still looked skinny everywhere else until right at the end. I know it’s silly and of course I’m over the moon to be pregnant again but feel very self conscious this time. I’m nervous to meet friends I’ve not seen for a while due to covid in case they’re like what happened?! Hoping things will even out later on...

I feel you! Oddly, I found a picture at the same time as from my first pregnancy and I actually look barely any different... but everything feels so much softer and has given way much quicker! 😩🤣

Oh this is me too!

I'm conscious that I'm a stone heavier this time around, was 9.5 stone when I fell pregnant with DC1.

But my bump feels so big! Like I'm lugging it around at times, with lots of stretching pains Confused I'm almost 20 weeks and well aware that I still have a long time to go so I'm trying not to complain too much....

Ah you have a lovely bump @SillyBry! I think that’s it, everything feels a lot softer for me too. I thought I must be having twins but nope! Hoping when I’m more pregnant it might firm up...

I feel the exact same! I had a basketball bump with #1 and was tiny. With this one I feel huge - my hips and thighs are bigger, even my arms are bigger. Can't stand it.

I hate to say it ladies but the aches and pains have definitely hit me earlier in this pregnancy too!!!

@Woohoo8819

Hate to scare you but I'm 5' and my first was 7lb 6oz and everything sprang back and I looked great.

My 2nd was 10lb 6oz 😂😂😂 I was regularly asked if it was twins when I said what my due date was!

As my mums friend kindly said, "it's like a balloon that has been blown up before"....
