Carrying high at 15 weeks?

[hullaballoo19]

So I seem to have 'popped' now but feeling kind of crap and looking for reassurance. I'm very overweight (just under 16st) and the sticky out belly can still pass as having gained weight (I've actually lost some weight though so it can't be from weight gain). The thing is I'm confused because the 'bump' seems to be quite high. I'm only 15 weeks (second pregnancy) so I wouldn't have thought the baby and my womb would be big enough yet to be either as high as it seems, or pushing my organs up and creating the high bump that way iyswim? Has anybody else had experience of this? I know all bumps are different and people show at different times so I appreciate that it's hard to give an answer but would be reassured by others who have experienced similar. I'm struggling with being plus size. I was size 10 when pregnant with dd so can't compare this bump to that one at all.

No one?

Hi @hullaballoo19, I've only just popped and I'm 20 weeks (first pregnancy), and my smallish bump is quite high! It being your second pregnancy, I assume everything just happens a little earlier for you as your stomach muscles have previously made room for a baby, so are happily making room again :)

Thanks @jojojo82 😊

It might be a bit of bloat too? I'm not the slimmest but definitely have a rounded all over bump. However, when midwife was listening for baby's heartbeat she was looking way down just below knicker line (at 16 weeks + 2 days).

I am a similar weight to you, and my bump both times I've been pregnant have been high. I carry most of my stomach fat low down, so I think that hides a lot of the lower part of the bump, and my upper belly is everything else pushed up and out the way. I don't think It's worrying, I'm 38 weeks now and always had a very high bump, and have a 3 year old who was even higher than this time when she was a bump! X

Hello! My bump is high with second pregnancy, nearly 17 weeks. In the morning it’s definitely just below belly button level, but come the evening I look 3rd trimester pregnant! My midwife even commented on the height on my fundus at my appt this week!!
