9 weeks & huge belly (pics)

[TooMuchCheesecake]

I am 9 weeks today and feel huge! My belly feels really solid and I feel quite breathless and uncomfortable. This is baby no.3 and I don't remember feeling or looking like this with my other 2DC (although it's been 9 years since I had the youngest).
Is this normal? I'm starting to wonder if it could be twins

3rd pic is of me pre pregnancy to compare!

I was pretty big by that stage with dc2. A friend said she was huge with dc3.

I'm not sure it's all baby (babies)! Maybe a combination of the usual bloating a lot of women get in 1st trimester and maybe where your tummy has been stretched before with your previous pregnancies.

Congratulations

You'll know soon if it does happen to be twins i guess! Do they run in your family?

@YouDoYouBoo thank you. No twins in either of our families as far as I know.
My clothes feel so tight already and no chance I could wear jeans now as if I could do them up I would be so uncomfortable! I've got another 3.5 weeks until my scan, not sure I'll be able to hide my pregnancy for much longer at this rate and I really don't feel ready to tell people just yet.

Looks like bloat to me. Even if it was twins they're only the size of a strawberry at that stage.

My second pregnancy was twins, I couldn't fasten my jeans up by the time I went for my first scan, I had to use a hair tie to hold them together 🙈 however I'm almost 9 weeks with my 3rd pregnancy and so much bigger then I was with my twin pregnancy (my first one I didn't show really until I was around 16 weeks) I think my large belly this time round is just due to the previous pregnancies I have. My twins are identical so I would be very surprised if I was to have twins again lol

I am assuming it's just because it's my 3rd and obviously bloat, I've just never been this bloated in my life! I feel so big and heavy. I'm hoping my body just adjusts soon and I don't feel so huge!

I was in maternity wear at 9 weeks with a visible bump....I had twins 🤣

Is it possible you've had too much cheesecake?

I was like you and quite slim and toned when I got pregnant and felt huge by 7/8 weeks. Bump has carried on growing. I started wearing a size up in jeans from about 7 weeks as the waist in my old ones dug in, but switched to maternity wear in my regular size at about 13 weeks as bump was pretty big and solid and it wasn't an option for me to go up another Jean size as they'd have been super baggy on my bum, hips and legs.

This is my first. And there's definitely just one in there! I'm 23 weeks now with a football shoved up my jumper! Looking at me from the back, however, you can't tell I'm pregnant. It's all out in front.

I'm 9 weeks with my first and I look very similar to you! I feel very bloated and tummy feels so large! I'm definitely not having twins though as I've already had a scan and there's only one in there lol!

I can confirm based on my last pregnancy that it’s a 3rd baby thing
