Looking far more pregnant than I am

[littlewhiteberry]

I'm 22 weeks and looks so big people keep asking me when I'm due and are shocked I've got so long.
It's my 4th and I have had a huge bump since a few weeks and look 9 months.
I've been in maternity clothes since about 8 weeks and I'm finding it really embarrassing.
I'm only 5"2 and usually a size 6 but I've absolutely ballooned all over.
I hate to think how big I'll be by the end and it's only 1 baby.

I would think that as it's no 4 your boat has just gone 'we know what's happening here' don't worry about it. Just take it easy and you'll get treated better as more people will be able to tell you're pregnant.

You tend to show earlier with the 4th, I've been obviously pregnant since 10 weeks this time, I am now 33 weeks and don't look enormous just average for gestation I'd say, also as you are quite small yourself it probably looks like more of a noticeable change than on a taller woman

I’m also pregnant with my fourth and I can completely relate with your post. People have made comments that have made me cross. ‘Are you sure there’s only one in there?’ Etc. I’m only 5ft1 so think he’s just out because there’s nowhere else to go. Also made worse yesterday when I had my 28 week appointment and he’s gone from 33rd%tile to over 100th%tile. I feel like a whale and people are making it worse. I’m also scared to have a giant baby. My biggest so far has been 8lb7oz 3 days late.

I got asked for a fit to fly certificate to travel as its needed over 36 weeks...I was 19 weeks and that was my first at around 26 weeks my bump seemed to really slow down growing but the baby's growth continued as normal.

Another one here who's on baby number 4, although I was quite overweight before I got pregnant so that doesn't help 😂 I'm 26 weeks and feel HUGE I honestly don't know how I'm going to be able to physically move by the end

I seem to show much earlier and 'bigger' in the pregnancy, then it tapers off in the 30s. My last pregnancy I went from having 'wow big bump' comments in the 20s to 'that's a small bump' comments in the 30s! The same with my fundal measurements

When I was 6 weeks, I was so obviously pregnant, some one asked me when I was due, I said I'm only 6 weeks. She believed I had 6 weeks to go! At 30 weeks, I was measuring 44 cm. I thought I was going to explode.
