2nd Trimester

Bigger belly than everyone i know!

I don't know how much weight I have gained because I do not want to know..but it is all in my belly.  I know about 6 other girls that are due when I am and I am a lot bigger then them.  My belly isn't wide..just sticks out far.

Does this have anything to do with baby size or anything? I can't imaging how I will be in 10 more weeks! Sheesh!

Re: Bigger belly than everyone i know!

  • I think it has more to do with where you are carrying the baby, some people carry further to their back. (Just a guess!)

  • I am 5 foot 1 an a half inches tall.. I looked like I ate someone right from the get go...  don't worry at some point you kind of start to even out. We seem to have a spurt of pregnancies at work right now ( at least 5 preggers,  1 just delivered and one delivered about 8 weeks early) and  I looked like I was going to pop before everyone.   got all the usual.. is it twins... oh you are huge, you wont go full term etc ... so far baby is right on track and my Dr hasnt voiced any concerns at all over my size or weight ( love my OBY  :) ..he's the best and crazy as all hell )

    I found my messed up sense of humor got me through the first few months of "motherly advice and opinions" people have finally backed off  and I am so glad because even my sense of humor was getting severely tested. 

    Congrats :)

  • I am the same!  Everyone asks if I'm having twins or due any day!!  I'm only 5' and Dr. said it has no where else to go but out.  : )

  • I am like this too! I find from my past pregnancies that I am huge around the 7th month and then just kind of stay that size even though the baby gets a lot bigger. Maybe the same thing will happen to you.

    I feel comfortable with this, but I could do without the 'are you sure you're not further along?' 'Wow, you're huge', 'you've popped', and the best one yet, 'you're bulking up'. Whatevs...

  • I carry like a torpedo, with both my kids!  I always look much bigger or further along that I am.  I'm already looking pretty pointy.  :)  I also could do without all the "you're huge" comments, but I also got a lot of "you're so cute, all in your belly."  I'm only 5 feet tall, so agreed with the other girls, I have nowhere to grow but out!

  • Yes a torpedo! That is what I feel like I look like..narrow but sticking out! (If one more person says I am carrying a boy because of my shape I will scream!)

    I am also tiny boned..usually..although my hips have widened 5 inches..arrgggg....

    At least it is all in the belly.  I go to the dr. on Monday and Ill see what he says.

  • LOL  There is this cute woman last fall at the playground we visit often who was the same...she is super skinny and was ALL belly to the point that she looks like she was going to tip over.    This was her second pregnancy, but she said it was the same with her first.  I just thought she was so cute.

    FWIW, she looked like she has never even been pregnant just a couple of months after the baby was born. :) 

    Edit- her babies were not that big...it was just the way her body carried them.

  • I have that issue too. I am 15w4d and I am bigger than a friend who is 30 weeks. I don't even look pregnant from the back, it just sticks straight out.
