I'm already the size of a small planet and am only 23 weeks with my first.

I'm short at 5ft2 and was overweight prepregnancy but still, it's worrying me how much bigger I can possibly get!

Baby size was normal at anatomy scan so I'm not worried about a huge baby, just how I'm going to cope with being so huge. Already struggling to put socks and shoes on and I'm already doing the waddle.

Anyone else huge around the midway point? How big did you end up?

I feel massive and I’m 25 weeks. I’m waddling and have pelvic pain so I feel further along than I am. Especially as I know a few people that are or were active in their pregnancy around this time.

I feel less independent than my first - I was definitely smaller and younger. Now I can barely put my trousers on. Takes so much longer to put on shoes and socks and I don’t know how I’m going to be independent for the next 4 months!

Im following to hear other people’s responses as this pregnancy feels different to me. Is this your first @XenaTheWarriorPrincess

Oh the pelvic pain, forgot about that. I wasn't expecting it until way later so a little worried about being crippled later in pregnancy!

Yep @theprincessthepea it is my first, which is I'm not too happy about how huge I am. Everything and everyone says I shouldn't be this big this early so I feel cheated out of the glowing floaty pregnancy phase. Totally skipped anything positive, just straight from nausea and dizzy spells to being a house with much pain, digficulties bending and no stamina at all.

@XenaTheWarriorPrincess me too! Im nearly 24 weeks and already gained 25lb, which is almost what I gained for my whole first pregnancy with my son🙈 its crazy, I dont even feel like im eating that much! It is a bit scary wondering how big I will get, but I do think the weight comes off very quickly afterwards.

@theprincessthepea oh no, I hope your pelvic pain improves🤞I got that last pregnancy and hope it doesnt reappear in this one. Im also waddling, i feel like a big penguin 🤣
