I feel huge...already!

post #1 of 7
Thread Starter 
Just looking to commiserate.

I am 17 weeks with my second and I made the mistake of looking at pictures today from my pregnancy with my daughter. Wow! At this point with my daughter, I barely had a belly at all, I can still even see my ab muscles in those pictures. My belly now looks to be at least a month ahead of that!!!

Don't get me wrong, I love my belly, it's round and cute and my belly button is already starting to poke out a little bit.

I'm just not used to be so obviously pregnant so "soon".

Your body has been here before, and so it knows what to do and does it earlier! I'm 27 weeks along with baby #4, and I looked 5 months pregnant when I was only 3 months along!

I'm 6 weeks and look about 6 months! This is my 4th, but I never expected to show this much this early!

I'm 17 weeks also with my second. I already have a bit of a belly. With my first, I didn't bother taking any photos till 20 weeks because it took that long to show anything. About a month ahead sounds about right. I'm okay with that - I'm just hoping I don't end up too much bigger in the end!

Yea I'm suddenly pretty horrified at my girth.
I'm 15 weeks but much bigger than I was at 20 weeks with #2.
This is technically my 4th pregnancy, my loss was at 13 weeks just a few months ago, and I don't know if my body just wanted to get big again, but by 7 weeks this time I was sporting a big belly. I look about 6 months pregnant now, which is scary because I know most of it is NOT baby.

with my first I got big slowly, but got huge

with my second I got big fast and then slowly got huge

with this, my third, I showed almost right away... was obvious by 12 weeks.... and somehow STILL ended up smaller than the other two!

(if you want to see my progression go to my profile here on MDC, I have a belly pics album in it!)

Huge Early - 1st Pregnancy

This is my first, I'm 5'4 and am/was in pretty good shape. : ) I'm showing so much that strangers and acquaintances are asking my due date and telling me I'll have twins when they know I'm only 18 weeks. Only heard 1 tiny heartbeat with the fetascope last week so hopefully not! : )

The bump is still low, a finger or two's breadth below my belly button but it must be the way the uterus is placed, I look huge and growing every day. Feeling lots of movement, yay! Especially after eating Subway... hmmm.

: ) Wishing a happy and healthy pregnancy and family to all the mammas out there!
