I have to say this is the first time i feel huge... I havent really gained much weight.. But today I noticed my clothes are getting snug..and my maternity jeans just arnt as comfy as they were last week.. anyone else?
Yep. I wore a red sweater yesterday and DH referred to me as a Christmas tree bulb. I have a bump in the front and an ever expanding butt in the back. Sigh. At least DH loves it.
LOL psychgal. And trp, yes, I am feeling massive at this point too. 16 pounds is a lot for my body and the belly is really expanding outward at this point. Some of the shirts I was using for 2nd trimester will no longer quite cover everything! And let's not discuss shaving down there... (at this point, I can't see anymore). I guess I should concentrate on the basics -- it's hard enough lifting my knees to put my pants on!

Your not alone, my husband calls me tug boat. I've gained plenty lol Abt 23 or so which is AOK with me, my belly is getting huge. I look in the mirror every morning and I'm like...man...I've got 6 more weeks till I deliver, am I really gonna have to get bigger than this??? Wait...I have to stop typing...I'm out of breath...

I agree. Bending over whether it be to just pick something up or to put pants on has become like a mission! I've put on 33lbs. I attempt to push my belly out of the way to shave then just say screw it. all i can do at this point is laugh.

Same here. I'm only up 14lbs but I feel gigantic. I haven't gained any weight in the last two weeks, but I'm definitely expanding regardless. I feel like there's a basketball up my shirt. And its starting to put pressure on my pelvis, tailbone, hips and labia. Sometimes I think about 9 more weeks and it seems like the baby is coming really soon, but when I'm feeling like this, 9 weeks sounds like a long time!
I looked at myself in the mirror last night and realized that I am the same size right as I was with DS at 39wks. and I still have another 9wks to go about. I just can;t fathom that I can get any bigger and I worry about getting bigger and being able to take DS to daycare in the morning. If I can't drive him there then how am I going to be albe to handle him during the day alone if I am that big?
