Just as title says really! I look massive! I've had to buy pregnancy bra and knickers. My boobs have swelled! I just look a lot more pregnant than I actually am! Anybody else?!

Hey I'm pregnancy with no2 so not as many pregnancies as you but Im 6 weeks and also feel like I'm showing! I have a feeling though that it's actually bloating and where my stomach muscles never really went back to pregnancy, being bloated can look like pregnancy!
Im sure by 2nd trimester we'll feel like it's gone down a bit 🤞

Currently 17 weeks and look the same as I did at 24ish weeks with DC1. Mad!

Oh I'm glad it isn't just me then haha I've got a proper rounded bump! I thought I was going mad or carring more than one

No 2 here. At about 7 weeks I had a proper bump, but now at 11 weeks it’s deflated! So I assume it was just chub and bloat from my constant desire for carbs.

No two for me and I made a similar thread at 7 weeks as I looked about 5 months pregnant. Now I am almost 12 weeks and I feel like I look about due. 12 week scan on Tuesday, so I’ll pop back if it is triplets, like I suspect 😂

@Sallyh87 omg don't 🤣🤣 I'm shitting myself I don't actually know what I would do if I was to have more than one cooking in there haha!

It's bloat, you don't have a uterus big enough to cause a 'bump' until 16+ weeks (unless multiples). I'm on pregnancy number 7 (4MC 2DC) and I have serious bloat & need to unbutton jeans but it goes back down 9-10 weeks in - it's your body's reaction to the hormones. Congratulations on your pregnancy Halloween Smile

It's also the extra fluid- your blood volume increases by 50% during pregnancy so in the first few weeks you're probably really thirsty and all the blood has to go somewhere!

Luckymum89 · 31/10/2022 17:08

@DesignerRecliner yeah I'm severely bloated haha I just panicked because I've never experienced bloat like it!! I physically can't hold my tummy in

😂 I was thinking of you yesterday @Luckymum89 and meaning to reply so I could help calm you!

Just one (very healthy) little baby in there. And no word of a lie, I have an absolutely enormous bump! It’s quite hard as well so doesn’t feel like bloat but I suppose must be. I was genuinely expecting triplets!

Luckymum89 · 02/11/2022 21:30

@Sallyh87 oh thank the lord!!!! Awww I'm so pleased for u 🥰 well at least we know its normal haha xx
