I LOOK HUGE!!!

in 2nd Trimester
I am only 21 weeks but I honestly look like im 30 weeks. Weird thing is I have only gained 2lbs this whole pregnancy. I was on the heavier side to begin with, but im not understanding how im not gaining weight. I just hope this is normal.

    I'm only 13 weeks (with twins and second pregnancy) with horrible morning sickness so bad that I've lost weight; yet my stomach is also getting pretty big.  I think our babies are taking over.  :)

    It's all your muscle relaxing this time. Hearing it a lot from second pregnancy, they are like see we know how this goes, BAM. I have also lost weight yet have a 5m look to me.

    I know a girl about 1 week behind me [she's due Jan 10 - me Jan 2] and she makes me look significantly more bumpy than I thought I was! Even though the baby portion of my bump only goes just above my belly button my organs filled in the upper bump quickly so I look like I have a full rib to hip bump already! 

    I haven't stepped on a scale recently... I don't want to because I've definitely had too much cake this week but I had only gained 6.5 pounds last week.

    Do not even worry!!! I'm 3 weeks behind you and have only gained 2lbs. I asked my doc if that was okay yesterday bc I too was concerned. She said it is absolutely okay! :) I felt a lot better.

    If you knew how lonely my life has been And how long I've been so alone And if you knew how I wanted someone to come along And change my life the way you've done

    I feel the same way!! I gained all of 4lbs and I feel like a house at 24 weeks. My bf took a pic of me on Sunday and I look like I swallowed a person... which is deceptive bc I fit all of my pre-pregnancy clothes and I actually lost weight over the first 20 weeks... so either I was a ginormous fat ass prior to pregnancy and no one told me or I need to stop buying clothes with lycra in it bc they distort my perception of reality lol!

    I'm definitely much bigger this time around than I was at this point with DS.  I've had people ask me if I'm getting ready to go out on leave.  What's funny is, my back doesn't hurt nearly as much this time as it did with DS.  I've gained about 16lbs so far.

    I'm 20weeks and look like I could be going into labor in a few weeks. Totally agree with pp's about second+ pregnancy and relaxed muscles. I think it's totally normal. (Although the nurse at my last appointment tried to convince me of twins... I wanted to hit her!)
