Yes - and it got worse! But so worth it

SleighGirl · 08/01/2010 20:43

me too, was very relieved to get my 12 week scan and reveal only one baby.

notnowbernard · 08/01/2010 20:44

Indeed sleighmum !

Scan is next week

Good luck at scan - so exciting.

notnowbernard · 08/01/2010 20:46

You sure it shouldn't be: Did you look 5m pregnant at 11 weeks with 3DC?

Good luck with the scan!

More sympathetically, I looked huuuuuge at 8wks and then the bulge subsided.

Yes, thought I must be further on than I originally thought. But first scan showed me just over 10 weeks and big as a house.

SleighGirl · 08/01/2010 20:50

with dc4 I couldn't get my trousers done up at 5 weeks pregnant.......

Heated · 08/01/2010 20:52

Top Tip: if, like me, you eat like a horse and grow a huge arse, bump does indeed look smaller.

changer22 · 08/01/2010 20:53

I looked huge to begin with, then calmed down and then looked huge when I went overdue.

MWs still said 'not a big baby'. 10lb 14 later...

notnowbernard · 08/01/2010 20:55

Am eating like a horse

Had to initially as was the only thing that stopped me from wanting to puke

NEVER had ANY nausea with prev 2

Can almost feel arse spreading beneath me

I am 6 weeks pregnant with my second baby and have a definite bump already!

hazeygarry · 08/01/2010 21:02

I am 14 weeks pregnant with dc3, and was unable to do up my trousers about 4 weeks ago. Unfortunately we have had Christmas in between so who knows what is cake and what is baby. With my previous pregnancies I craved pretty healthy stuff, but this time i just want junk.

I have been keeping my trousers up with an elastic band, but today got some maternity trousers - phew.

notnowbernard · 08/01/2010 21:09

Hmm... did eat a load of shite over the festive period I must say

None of my trousers fit

Have been in leggings and long tops/dresses for the last 3 weeks at least

I just can't wait for that moment when I 'pop', it seems to happen overnight, and suddenly I look pregnant rather than like an overstuffed sofa.

doodleboo · 08/01/2010 21:42

I was about to start a thread on this. With 2dcs already i've been eating through the sickness rather than giving in to it and losing half a stone like the last two times(i get very, very sick).

Haven't been able to wear my jeans since 6 weeks and it feels like my body is collapsing under the strain at 12weeks! I too was surprised to see 1 baby at the scan!

Does anyone know of any exercises you can do to make up for totally failing to complete your post natal ones?

madmissy · 08/01/2010 21:44

yep i was big very quick with my 3rd

he arrived 3 weeks ago today
it just seemed to be a initial pop and i slowed down

madmissy · 08/01/2010 21:45

oh and with lots of twins in v.close family i was having a bit of a panic too

kidcreoleandthecoconuts · 08/01/2010 21:49

I was huge very quickly with DC2. But this time with DC3 I'm not nearly as big, I'm still wearing my normal jeans and I'm 25 weeks. I'm not depressed this time around though so I'm not comfort eating!

doodleboo · 08/01/2010 22:07

very very jealous kidcreole!

Clary · 08/01/2010 22:11

yes.

I told people at 12 weeks and they all said, ah yes, we thought so...

yy sleighgirl I too was convinced it was at least twins but the MW felt my bump and said, no, only one baby there, just yr stomach muscles have gone!

peppapighastakenovermylife · 09/01/2010 07:21

I am 9 weeks with DC3 and can barely do my jeans up - yet due to sickness I have lost 10 pounds. Not sure how that works!

MamaG · 09/01/2010 07:24

Hell. Yes.

and he was 10lb 9oz

2babesmum · 09/01/2010 13:37

Hi, 11 weeks today and I'm wondering whether I can wait another week to let people at work know because my belly is rounded and totally there! Probably sticks out 1-2 inches further than my hip bones. It's my DC3 too
