Belly size - I'm scared!!! (not seriously)

wedbliss5 · September 2013

At 24 weeks I feel like I've got a pretty big bump goig on, I'm a little afraid to see how the next 16 weeks go! I'm pretty sure I'm goign to run out of shirts to cover the bottom of my belly sooner rather than later! Yikes!

Anyone else?

MaryBB77 · September 2013

Yes me!!! These last couple of days I feel huge!!! Can't imagine what I'll look like come Jan!

mrsjenni · September 2013

I measured 6 weeks ahead with my last 2 kids (and 4 weeks ahead with my first) so, yes... I'm scared. I always run out of shirts to wear by 30ish weeks. It's awesome.

Jen4033 · September 2013

same here. I feel like I am currently the size I was at 7-8 mo along with DS. Being STM I probably am. It is like my bump has decided to start growing wider vs out now.

Bringing back fat & extra chin along with it.

Dishylo · September 2013

I plan on wearing some of DH's clothes towards the end - I know they'll fit

brandlebugg · September 2013

me too!

Krystleleigh320 · September 2013

I've had to buy some maternity pants but I have to go back and buy more shirts. I can't keep wearing the same things to work each week. LO is already turning out to be quite expensive

MrsGraham06 · September 2013

Yup. I'm starting to consider some long shirts because of it. But, I have 3 shirts that I know for sure will go over Big Belly at the end. They are still pretty big on me now.

vstevens · September 2013

Definitely me - I saw a FTM friend this weekend who is due 1 day before me, and I'm literally double her size. I know STMs show earlier, but daaaaaaaaaaaamn I felt huge!

RobynLovesDano · September 2013

Yes!! I've already outgrown some shirts, I'm going to be hanging out in a bathrobe come December lol

cnwilbur1030 · September 2013

Yep! This second time around has been much larger quicker. It's like my body said just screw it and gave up.

wedbliss5 · September 2013

@mrsjenni - I definitely thought about you with this, your HDBD pics are always cute and yet you always seem farther ahead (I assumed it was because this was your 4th). I'm absolutely floored to hear you've measured so far ahead with all your kiddos!!! Craziness!

I even measured the least furthest ahead with my first and he was the biggest (9.5lbs born 2 weeks early). I just birth monsters.

apickett925 · September 2013

I have a friend that's a week and a half behind me, and she was shocked how much bigger my bump was then hers last weekend. Then I told her that I had only really popped 2 weeks prior! I think I scared her.

Halifax2013 · September 2013

My belly is probably the same size it was when I was 30 weeks with DD right now (24 weeks). Not that I'm big, just showing more since its my second time and just measuring correctly. I'm guessing this one really won't be any bigger than DD who was a couple of ounces under 7lbs.

CaliCarly77 · September 2013

Oh man I am so depressed about this, too - I know I am pregnant on steroids, but I am getting really frightened about where this thing is going to end up. Its HUGE and there are 16 weeks to go!

pennstated912 · September 2013

See my HDBD picture. I'm 22w3d and I'm massive! This kid better be big lol

MJOJwedding · September 2013

Same here about the length of shirts! I just stopped at Old Navy today to pick up some maternity tanks and tees - hopefully I can use the tanks to layer and wear with some non-maternity shirts. But I'm so aware of the panel on my jeans constantly showing so I needed to get some longer shirts. I picked up some basic tees on clearance for like $5-$7 each.

Same here! FTM and everyone says I am "all baby" and I'll have her in December at the latest. I haven't seen my vagina in weeks and I just realized this morning I can't see my feet. Good thing I have a very flexible dress code at work...not sure if a bathrobe in December will cut it though...

This. Spent over $200 at Destination Maternity last night. Got a lot since most of it was on sale, but THAT.IS.IT. It'll just have to last me through the fall/early winter.

Annareis · September 2013

I still am not showing

, all my cloths still fit, I wish I was like you ladies. Doctor says since it's my first and I have a long torso I still have a few more weeks till I start showing. Aghhhh I'm already 21 weeks how much longer do I have to wait!

Ashleyjean1214 · September 2013

From 2 weeks ago to now my baby bump is def. on the way and showing now I'm due in the beginning of jan and this is my first!

barnowl0901 · September 2013

@Annareis I feel your pain. I'm still getting surprised, "you don't look pregnant at all" comments from friends and co-workers. The wait is killing me!

Strunella · September 2013

I was absolutely wearing DH's sweaters when I was pregnant with DS. I was HUGE! DS was 9 lbs 10 oz so it wasn't surprising. I'm sure I'll be digging out his sweaters this time too.

tootsscott · September 2013

I feel enormous, I waddle and I pee every five seconds!

BabyWise014 · September 2013

I just had my 23 week check up last week and was just questionably showing- then wham! Week 24 and I feel like I am completely inrecognizable in the mirror. I feel huge and am getting nervous about what the next 3.5 months has in store (meanwhile I just ate almost a whole tub of tapioca pudding while writing this!)

HappyDoc · September 2013

So glad I am not alone. I am 22 weeks and I feel like I am way bigger than I should be. I am just under 5 feet tall, which probably makes me look even more awkward!!

megngregk · September 2013

Also so happy I'm not alone! I still keep getting surprising comments about being so small for 5.5 months, but I feel like a midsized sedan. I have one top in particular that I thought I could wear well into 6-7 months, but my belly most definitely escaped out of it on Saturday. It was put into the back of my closet. I don't need that kind of taunting in my life.

Morenajuliet · September 2013

The good news is...we can just wear sweater dresses as shirts if we're that big I suppose. I am nervous too though. If my bump is cute but obvious at this point, I am scared for that 9th month!

"I just birth monsters" made me snort/piss!

Just make it a xmas robe and it should be fine
