Question

big bump at 14 weeks!

I know that you show earlier if you have already had a baby but I have been showing since 8 weeks, I saw a midwife at 10 weeks who was adamant that I was further along, eg 5-6 months! I am normally a size 8-10 but I am already in size 14 maternity clothes, my back and shoulders ache from the weight of my belly, my legs and feet are swelling, my appetite isnt huge and I only seem to want to eat healthy salads etc, I know it isnt bloating as its the same size all day and night everyday, it isnt a tubby belly either, def a pregnancy belly, I have had my scan already, the sonographer thought I was there for my 20 week scan! she didnt find a 2nd baby (but she didnt actually look either!) my babies have always been small at birth...5lb9, 4lb 13. I am already breathless, I feel like I am 7-8 months pregnant but even though the midwives are in shock at my size they aren't interested at all and im worried about how much bigger I will get

I'm 10w3d and in maternity also been showing since 8weeks. It's bloating this early on. I'm probably not as big as you by the sounds but I may be by 14weeks. For me only one baby and 2nd child. Don't worry I'm wondering how big I'll get also. Are you on the countdown my preg site? I'll try and find u I'm curious now. GL

Your not on there so I can't see your bump pics. You should join. It's the sister site to this one that you move over to once becoming preg. :-)

Try not to worry if you have already had small babies then it is likely that you are not going to have a large one. It might be that your tummy muscles are really relaxed this time you could also ask if they think you have a lot of amniotic fluid. They will tell you if they think your baby will be large. I had a 9 1/2 pound baby his estimate was 11 lb (it didn't happen)
