I don't think my stomach will stretch anymore

Seriously, how can I get bigger! It's at the point right now where I just feel like there is nowhere else for it to go.
I'm sure I will keep saying this for the next 7 weeks

Amen sister. The baby is gaining half a pound a week at this point, and I keep looking for space to put those additional pounds. I already feel stretched to the max!

Yeah, pretty sure I'm as big now at 30 weeks as I was at 38 weeks last time around. I can't imagine getting 10 weeks bigger!

You might not get much bigger. Baby has a lot of room in there now, but as he/she packs on the pounds in these final weeks, they end up with much less empty space. Plus if baby's head moved down into your pelvis, your tummy may actually not have to be stretched as far as it is now!

But no matter what... your tummy WILL accomodate the baby, even if it means more stretching

I'm feeling the same way. My belly button STILL hasn't popped, but my belly skin is very tight. I don't remember feeling like this with my prior two pregnancies where I was freaking out thinking how can I POSSIBLY get any bigger???

I hope I don't get much bigger. I hope he just fills out the space in the fluid that he has. But I know that is probably unlikely. LOL!

I keep thinking the same thing. Half the time my skin feels so tight i don't even want to touch it. Then sometimes it's not so bad, I guess depending on which way the babe is laying. Which makes me feel like he's still got lots of wiggle room and maybe just needs to fatten up so he's got less room to roam. I'm hopeful that I won't get too too much bigger.
