Am I too big at 15 weeks?

[Firstchilddue2022]

So I'm getting a lot of people very surprised that my due date is August 17th because I look big enough to be full term already.

I did have a big gut before falling pregnant but I used to always tense it. Now I can't do that because of the bloating and I am embarrassed about how large I look when my bump is only just supposed to be showing.

I've seen online that "all bumps are different" but I haven't found any examples of bumps like mine at week 15.

I'm worried there's something wrong with me. Sorry about the darkness in the picture our lightbulb is buggered.

Yeah it's probably the fibroid contributing then! You should have growth scans in your 3rd trimester to monitor baby's growth, and a consultant appointment at some point too.

No it was the flight checking to see that I wasn't full term .....tbh I didn't get much bigger for the next 15 weeks but in the last 10 weeks I did seem to be massive. But he was perfect and I gave birth at home.
OP if you have any concerns please speak to your midwife.

Um yeah wow OP that's definitely big for 15 weeks.....I had twins so my bump was that size around that time...definitely only one in there?

Ah ignore people's comments OP, you'll soon realise (when you get people on the same day saying your bump is huge and your bump is tiny) that people just feel the need to comment on the size of pregnant women's bumps for some reason. It is bigger than I was at 15 weeks with my first, but yes I imagine the fibroid is contributing to that. You certainly don't look anything like full term though! Always amazes me when I look back at full term photos that my body was able to get that big 😂
