2nd Trimester
Anyone else's belly look bigger than everyone thinks it should?
Just curious...I'm about 18 weeks and people think I look huge. I think it's because I haven't gained anywhere else and am short waisted so I'm just sticking straight out.

I get embarrassed because everyone thinks I look huge! Except this morning I was convinced some of this baby belly is still bloat. I woke up this morning feeling much smaller and could actually suck some of it in.
Interesting!!!
This is baby #3 in three years. I have people asking if I am due any time now. You should see thier faces when I tell them I am due in Feb.

Yup - I almost smacked the girl at Home Depot on Friday. We were getting the paint for the nursery and she asked when I was due and I said New Years Day and she said "WOW you are HUGE! I was expecting you to say late October!"
It will! But that just means your LO is growing!
I don't think you look huge...you look beautiful! Try to remember that everyone carries differently.
Yesterday, I was at a party and one of the other women there was 32 weeks. My 21 week belly looked much larger than hers (more out and in front) but, we are just carrying differently.

Yep, I'd say we're both sticking straight out!
Yup, I'm just shy of 23 weeks and people think I'm ready to give birth any day now! I started showing early and baby has just been growing like crazy ever since!
Oh, I do have to disagree with the PP- it doesn't necessarily "even out" in the end. Check out the 3rd tri board. The ladies over there have hugely different sizes in bumps and it all depends on how much weight you gain and how you carry!
I get it all the time. I was at Sam's this morning and ran into a woman who's pregnant also. She asked when I was due and I told her Feb 1st. She is due in Novemeber. She asked if I was sure I was due then...I told her yep, I am 18 weeks pregnant today. The look on her face was hilarious.
I got this a lot with my 2nd baby as well, but I am definitely bigger sooner this time.
