Big Bellies?? Anyone, Anyone???

[Momto1and1ontheway]

Hi. I know that we are all growing at our own rates, but does anyone else look like 6+ months pregnant? (I'll only be 16 weeks on Sunday) I know there's only bambino one in there, but could it be that my organs are already displaced by my uterus? My uterus is already at my belly button. Also, right under my ribs is sticking out just as far as my lower belly is. It's quite disturbing (well, no, not really, just caught me by surprise I guess ). Just wanted to see if anyone else is experiencing this with me.....

I did this soon with my last one but this time around I don't hardly look pg at all.
I do sometimes but that is only after I get done eating but normally I don't look
pg at all. IDK why this pg is so different. With my last though I had a woman think
I was 6-7 months and I was barely 4 months! I had gained about 10 lbs though.
This time I havn't gained any weight yet and I am 15 weeks.

I'm trying to revel in my pregnancy, but my belly is throwing me off! I'm only 14 wks and I can wear my maternity pants. Yes they're loose, but still! I'm also already getting that sensation of only being able to eat a little bit at a time. I get so hungry so quickly and prepare a ton of food for myself, only to find that I can eat about 1/4 of it before feeling so full I'm sick!

YES! I have definitely "popped out". My uterus is already a little past my belly button and I look like I did at about 20 weeks last time (I'm 16 now). I kinda expected this because of the back-to-back pregnancies and an already *stretched* uterus.

hee hee....i love preggo bellies!

i had my friend check my fundal height a couple days ago...i'm about an inch below my belly button at 15 weeks....not surprising, though. i was huge with my son, so i kind of expected it

and i LOVE it!!

I think, at least in my case, it's definitely related to both multiple and close-together pg's -- I joke that, with my past 2 pg's at least, as soon as the pg test turns positive, I'm showing!

I've been in maternity clothes since around 8-9 wks. this time ; at 14 wks., I can wear all my maternity jeans without them looking the least bit large! Ugh!

But exactly HOW pg I look usually depends on how much I've just eaten, lol, or whether or not I'm making any attempt at proper posture, since slouching only makes me look 3 more months along than I actually am!

Ah well, this is the only time I ever have "abs of steel" -- might as well enjoy them while they last, huh?

Mine is big too. I def. look at least 5 months if not 6. I'm in maternity pants or sweat pants full time now. And they're not really baggy at all anymore.

[provocativa]

I'm due May 18, I'm enormous. Yoga pants are the only thing that fit.

[luckylady]

big. yes. I can only imagine my hugeness at 9 months.

[Unreal]

You know what frustrates me?
How HUGE I look after I eat....but later I'm back to basically just looking pudgy

When I normally check my fundal height it feels like it is just below my belly button.
But I was stretching out on my exercise ball yesterday and checked it and it was right were it is supposed to be *shrug*

but yeah, most of the time I look like I'm way further along than I am.

Of course time is flying. I'm 16 weeks now.
So maybe I don't look WAY further along

I feel big, especially looking down at my belly but my friends were telling me how cute I look the other day and that I still had my girlish figure so I'm choosing to believe them!

[purpleheather79]

Yep, I'm huge.

big boobs block belly! hahaha

Well, I am *out*, but I think I still just look like my normal Amazon self, with no waist. I am just now having people comment on how I am getting big, but I feel small for me. My hips are wide (size 14), so plenty of room in there~And my 38DD's prevent the belly from looking BIG! ya know? anyone else?

I think my uterus is at my belly button and I am 18 weeks...seems on target. How do you know where the uterus ends?

-amature here!

Opposite problem here... curvy hips and a B cup.

I already had some belly from last pregnancy - but I am definitely poking out much more this time than I was last! With my first pregnancy I was probably around 5 months before it was noticeable.

Went to a playgroup Friday with a momma due June 3 - she was wearing JEANS and a tight white turtleneck. Very little belly....everybody was talking about how she hardly showed (this is her 3rd pregnancy!) -

[guestmama9906]

No, still in my regular clothes, still not showing at all...
