It's a big un!

Rachey1082 · May 2013

I feel like I'm growing a massive child.

Maybe I'm completely wrong, but I couldn't see either Liam or Jack moving around in my belly at this point in pregnancy. And, I wasn't as heavy as I am now when I was pregnant with Liam. I could see his kicks, but it was closer to 30some weeks.

I'm eager for my ultrasound to determine if my placenta has moved or not.

Could you see your baby move around in your belly? How many weeks were you when you started to see it from the outside?

I don't think I could see any of kids move until I was 30+weeks either. Before that, I could see the occasional kick, but not actual movement.

I could see stretches and kicks tonight. Hopefully, I'm not growing a 18 lb baby here. I'm starting to get scared.

H was 8 lbs at 3 weeks early and I was almost 10 lbs but late. But, both L and J were very normal sized newborns.

I could see it from the outside around 20 weeks both times.

I've been able to see Baby Girl move for awhile, and I'm measuring about a centimeter behind. Last time, I measured right on, so I'm thinking she might be smaller than DS.

I can't remember when started seeing movement from the outside, but it's been awhile - definitely by 27 weeks. DS was transverse for awhile, so it was easy to see his movements when he would stretch (and feel like he was going to rip out my sides).

I think you're a lot smaller than me. I wore a 14 when I got pregnant this time. Baby has padding to push through and an anterior placenta.

How big was DS?

With Sophia I remember it being pretty early, and like you I wasn't nearly as small as I was with Ds. I saw her moving before 30 weeks. I didn't even show with Ds until I was 7months along and with DD I started showing at 4months.

I was/am the same. I was at a yard sale when I was 6 months pregnant with Liam. I was looking at some baby stuff and the lady working the yard sale asked how old my baby is... I told her I was six months pregnant to which she replied that she thought I looked like someone who had just had a baby. Hm...thanks. Needless to say, it sticks out in my mind. My midsection just got squishy until 7 months or maybe even 8.

He was 8lb 12oz.

I never really saw much movement from the outside.nbsp; Not like those videos where you can watch a foot stick out or anything.nbsp; Joey wasn't a huge kicker though.nbsp; He stretched constantly.nbsp; The kid never liked being confined!nbsp; But after 25 weeks or so I could see my belly shake with hiccups or a random thump poke out here and there.I was a 14/16 when I got pregnant. I only gained 15lbs though so I just looked fat until literally 78 months pregnant.nbsp; My giant boobs held my shirts out over the belly.nbsp; nbsp;When is the ultrasound?nbsp;

My next appt is in a week and a half and I think it's going to be around that one. I had both boys with me last time and forgot to ask about it. My MF and I were too busy discussing pirate booty, haha, that's what Jack was eating to keep him busy.

I was seeing movement from the outside by 28 weeks with this pregnancy. With DD, not until after 30, I don't think. Hard to remember

But I had an anterior placenta with her, plus I started off at a relatively heavier weight.

I could also.

If I laid on my back it looked like a scene from "Alien."

This. And I am size 18, it started around 28 weeks and got painful in the last 6.

Did you have big babies? Liam was only 7.7 and Jack 6.5
