@Sunshinemoom you've also had alot of sickness too havbt you! I wouldn't worry unless a dr says otherwise x

Yeah true. I did wonder if it was the sickness! See what the midwife says on my next appointment! Xx

Nynm23 · 30/09/2025 15:13

@Sunshinemoom they’ll soon start measuring your bump which should pick up if any concern re size of baby. Mine was picked up at 30 weeks (missed my appointment at 28 weeks) then was referred to growth clinic from there under consultant.

bump can also be smaller if you’ve a retroverted uterus x

Yeah I’ve got growth scans at 32 and 36 weeks when I spoke to the consultant last. I will ask midwife to check at 28 weeks pregnant see what they say!

WildFinch · 30/09/2025 16:12

Love the bump chat, I was thinking mine seems small for 22 weeks..but I think I've got a bit bigger all round. Your bump is so neat @Jadeypie
Old wives say you carry a girl all round and a boy bump is more defined. Also lost weight in first trimester @Sunshinemoom and haven't quite put it back on yet.
Interesting about the retroverted uterus because that's what I have @Nynm23

Because I'm turning 40 in a couple of weeks they have booked me in for two growth scans in Dec and Jan. Nice to see baby again at least!

Thegirlhasnamechanged · 30/09/2025 16:21

I just feel massive bump wise to say I’m 26+2. Seems really high up and just… big. Can’t imagine how big I’ll be by time baby is about to arrive

Jadeypie · 30/09/2025 18:06

I would like mine to go to my arse, sadly I’m all belly and chins 😂

Sunshinemoom · 30/09/2025 19:08

I’m definitely carrying low he kicks so low down as well. Interesting about retroverted uterus and what I have @Nynm23

i compared bumps pictures same gestion and definitely bigger first time round. Just shown a lot earlier this time!

PinkFlamingo888 · 30/09/2025 19:30

24 weeks today!! Feels like such a huge milestone 😄

Nynm23 · 30/09/2025 19:35

When I say smaller, I probably mean takes longer to look full as baby is hiding in your back.

Made sense what you was saying! I didn’t think of it! It

dubkitten · 30/09/2025 20:06

This is mine, not as noticeable when I have a jumper on but can definitely see it getting bigger and more defined.

This is exactly how I feel 🤣 I’m 27+2 and not sure how I’ll cope getting even bigger!

Confusedmermaid1 · 30/09/2025 22:17

I’m only 24+5 and I feel massive. I’m back to feeling like my skin is tearing after having a few weeks of not feeling too bad.. this was the weekend before last so I’m even bigger now 😂
Booked all my leave for Dec so my last day in work will be 12th 🎉 it’s getting closer 😅

WildFinch · 01/10/2025 11:44

My bump at 22w+6. I haven't taken a photo at this angle before, my bum is more bump-like than my bump 😂

WildFinch · 01/10/2025 11:46

You look lovely 😊

I also feel massive, but looking at some of these lovely little bump pics I think I am 😣

I barely had a bump with my first…granted that was also 16 years ago 🤣 but still. This has popped out of no where I dread to think how I’ll be able to walk come December!

Thegirlhasnamechanged · 01/10/2025 14:50

Joining in the bump photos. Feeling very round like I’ve swallowed a bowling ball… maybe that would go some way to explaining all the heartburn come to think on it.

Ive started to sort the baby nursery out. You know when you feel like you start a job but some how manage to make double the mess you started with 😅

Thegirlhasnamechanged · 01/10/2025 18:10

Gestational diabetes here, as expected. Maybe that explains the bowling bowl attached to my front (and an anterior placenta which I have been told makes you look rounder)

This is my goal weight picture 😂😂 x.

@WildFinch toddler pressed button too early, you’ll pop in no time!

WanderWalker · 01/10/2025 21:20

Has anyone ever used a belly band? If so are there any you would recommend that are good?
