Am I growing a giant ?!

I'm 13wks pregnant with baby no.3. Two previous c-sections. My bump is HUGE, actual bump already and full on wearing maternity only jeans as my others just won't come near fastening.

Please someone tell me you've had this before? Am I growing a giant or is this due to everything in there already being stretched etc? My second pregnancy I showed earlier than the first, but I definitely didn't have a bump this size until around 18wks 😬🙈

I'm hoping I'm just being paranoid!! Thanks!

Could it be bloating? I can't imagine the baby would be huge this early! Have you had your dating scan?

This happened to my sister in law with her third, the bump was prominent and pretty immediate!

I couldn't get into my jeans when I tested positive with DS3, at about a week late. I put it down to everything being stretched and untoned after my first 2.

It's bloating.

I was unmistakably pregnant with all three of my children before that stage!

Yes with the third I had a noticeable bump before I'd even had my scan. He weighed lees than my second when born though

Your abdominal muscles are weaker so the bump flops forward more making it appear larger. It isn’t help in tightly like with first time.

It’s bloating. Baby is too small for large bumps. I’m 21 weeks and still no bump and this is not my first! Iv had bloating on and off sometimes lasting days / weeks making people ask me how many weeks have I got left?? Ummm about 30 why?? So don’t worry it’s just bloat. My bloating had thankfully finished for now and I’m much more comfortable. Of course after a meal sometimes I’m huge again for a few hours then by the next morning it’s gone
