how much did you grow in last trimester?

hi all, i will be 27 weeks tomorrow and measuring like i am 33/34 weeks, which OB says is typical.  i know i'm going to get bigger, but i can't imagine how much bigger!!!!  when did the majority of your growth happen?  i will go to between 34-37 weeks due to them being mono/di so luckily will only have 9 weeks at most left (hoping they stay in until then!), but can't picture how big i will be or how hard it will be to get around.  

thanks!

    I was measuring 40 weeks when I was only 27 weeks and know that I have grown even more in the last month but I stopped having them measure my fundal height because I honestly don't really want to know anymore. Will probably have them measure again right before the babies are born for curiosity sake though. 
    BFP #1 on 12/15/11 but missed m/c with d&c on 2/1/12.
    BFP #2 on 5/1/13 = boy/girl TWINS with EDD of 1/3/14 but expected no later than 12/20/13.

    I'm 24 weeks and my midwife measured me at 34 weeks. I figure the bigger I am the healthier my babies are!

    I just compared a picture from 27w to one taken yesterday (30w) and the difference is HUGE. So far, my third tri growth is much faster than at any other point. It literally feels like I've doubled in the last 3 weeks!
    this is what i'm dreading lol.  i know logically it is the fastest growth period for mommies, but still scares the heck out of me.  i feel like i am growing hourly at this point. walked past a mirror and got scared at this protrusion sticking out. :)

    The difference between 28 weeks and 32 weeks has been astounding even though I've gained absolutely no weight in that time. The babies are growing daily and so am I!

    D & L are here at 34 weeks 4 days by vaginal and breech delivery on 11/19/2013
    Two healthy boys weighing 4 lbs 15 ozs and 4 lbs 5 ozs.  Only 6 days in the NICU and getting bigger, stronger and cuter every day!

    Thanks!  The funny part was that I only gained 17 lbs (I was a little overweight to begin with) and my girls were 6 lbs 13 oz and 6 lbs 9 oz so I was literally all baby.  I consistently measured ahead but by the end it was ridiculous.  This is 29 w vs 37 w. I also dropped considerably at the end.

    By 33w, I could no longer comfortably sit at a table and eat. I had to swing my legs and belly to the side and eat that way.

    I wasn't really ever measured.

    This was me from 11 weeks till 33 weeks. I delivered at 34.5 weeks but didn't get a pic that week :( I was measuring 5 weeks ahead. I gained 30lbs. My girls were small though.. only 6 lbs altogether.
