Is it normal for your bump to increase in size by 10 inches in 36 hours?

[whomovedmychocolate]

I'm nearly 13 weeks apparently (no periods - ultrasound 'guess'). I know your uterus jumps out your pelvic brim around this time but honestly, I've gone from a 28 inch waist to a 38 inch waist since Friday. I know because I measured then for some trousers I was letting out.

Pre pregnancy I had a 26 inch waist so to be fair there was some growing to do - I know that. But ten inches.

I can't have eaten that much can I? I haven't got bloating or any other signs of oedema (did last time). My blood pressure is actually pretty low and I'm otherwise fine but it's as if the baby has just decided to make his presence felt.

Can't get my knickers on, let alone my trousers!

Will the midwife piss herself laughing if I phone and ask her if this is normal tomorrow?

Get some Bio oil on that tummy!

I took my work trousers off one night, and couldn't get them back on again in the morning -n but 10 inches is a LOT. Get it checked.

Hmmm, how odd. I'd phone MW, that's one hell of a jump - I am approaching 12 weeks and am very much not a 26 "er, but I would still really notice 10" increase in little over a day. Are you big all round or can you see/feel a bump?

That has to be worth a call to the MW. It does sound like a lot.

I am tiny these days - a smallish size ten everywhere else - I actually look closer to eight months than three months and everyone noticed today. Hence us remeasuring.

Big round lump. Like a beach ball, from the side it looks like I've stuffed a watermelon under my top.

I don't get stretchmarks colditz (sorry, I've been every size from 16 down to a 6 in my time so I guess I have v stretchy skin).

Keep hoping I'll do a big fart and deflate

Baby is moving around a lot though (very odd, I've felt movement for two weeks now so maybe I'm a tad more pregnant than they thought)?

maybe you are further on wmmc??

I don't think I can be any more than three weeks out though because I had a confirmed miscarriage six weeks before they confirmed this pregnancy.

WMMC you are a sensible person and you know ten inches in 36 hours is not normal, get it checked!

twins?

Tis probably wind, I'll bet it will be smaller tomorrow!

I wondered if you miscarried 1 twin or you are carrying twins and one was hiding behind the other?

Madmouse - how on earth did you get that impression?

It's not bloody twins, I've seen one sac and then one baby shaped blob at 9 weeks. I can't be having twins, I'm not having a scan for another seven weeks and my houses is too small.

twins or copius amounts of wind

Just fart, woman !

any news

have you drank a lot of water ? That could make you bloated or you may just need a fart

blimey that'd have to be a lot of wind

how are you today wmmc?

From your other posts where you give sensible advice to others!

What happened today??

you can suddenly expand, over night... few of us ever measure .. you just cannot fit into your clothes one day..but rarely know how many inches you have grown by

of course get checked out !! you will be stressing otherwise

was in maternity trousers at 8 weeks and went to gp who told me it was wind. had 9 week scan as dad is triplet and only one in there. some mums just grow quick...am now 23 weeks and all fine (although still growing and v.big bump)

did you trump?

Its a fart or a poo.....or did you fail to tell us you ate a 1 ton pork pie for breakfast that morning.

Oh now I wanna know too!!

Sorry, was horribly busy yesterday spoke to MW (now up to 11 inches). She started off by suggesting that perhaps I had used two different tape measures and then finally concluded after some prodding that yes all was well but that I had a 'bloody big bump' .

So that was illuminating. Baby is doing fine though.

so how big is it now wmmc? and at how many weeks?

Nearly 40 inches Have had to go out and buy some new trousers. MiL and DH keep laughing at me! Apparently I look like a weeble.
