If this is not your first pregnancy...
Are you much bigger this time around?
I have a 4yo who was a big baby and then twins who were nearly 15lbs combined, so my body is just picking up where it left off. I'm HUGE and only 26 weeks. I literally get gasps when I tell people that I'm due in October. I guess this is more than a vent, but OMG people feel the need to comment every. single. day. It's becoming a bit much! Just last night my own mother was telling me that she doesn't think I'll make it to my due date. Gee thanks.

Re: If this is not your first pregnancy...
I think it's very normal to carry bigger in subsequent pregnancies. I actually feel like a freak of nature because I think I am smaller this time. My DS was almost 11lbs and I was HUGE when I was pregnant with him. This baby is measuring smaller and I am carrying a lot lower so I feel like I look overall smaller. That's not to say that people haven't commented on how big I am though! Even though I am "smaller", I still just carry large in general. I try to brush off people's comments but it is very annoying when people make comments about how big I am!

Re: If this is not your first pregnancy...
Oh yeah, I'm definitely bigger. I took belly pics every week of my first pregnancy and there was no change whatsoever until I reached about 22wks. That's when I got a little baby bump. With this one, I definitely had a belly by 16wks, bigger than the one I had at 22wks with #1. I'm definitely not huge by any means (strangers probably wouldn't assume I'm pregnant, just pudgy. lol), but it's definitely bigger than it was last time around!

Oh definitely. I didn't show with Dd1 till about 23ish weeks. I definitely had a round bump showing at around 9 weeks with this one. At 33w, I have about the same size bump as I had with DD1 at 36w.

Re: If this is not your first pregnancy...
Ok thank you all for making me feel "normal". I just don't understand why my pregnant body is always the topic of convo. Thank goodness this will be my last!
Oh and I'm so horrible that I haven't taken any belly pics this pregnancy!

Re: If this is not your first pregnancy...
I showed much earlier with my second pregnancy but didn't get as big. That being said, I didn't get big with my first pregnancy either. It's very common to show earlier in your second (or more) pregnancies.

Re: If this is not your first pregnancy...
Definitely started showing earlier, and while I had a tight neat little bump for dd, this time around, I feel like I'm carrying loose bags below and above my navel.

Re: If this is not your first pregnancy...
I'm definitely much bigger this time around. I am 22 weeks with #2 and I look like I did when I was close to 30 weeks with DD. Thankfully no one has really commented.... yet!

Re: If this is not your first pregnancy...
Yes! I carried bigger with this singleton than with twins. Granted i went 3 additional weeks but was bigger sooner too. Twins were about 11 combined. This baby was 7-12 so much smaller. They say your body remembers and I think ours remembers twins and just makes room. Lol
Eta I began at the same weight and gained 11 this time and 18 with twins.

Re: If this is not your first pregnancy...
Not currently preggo, but I showed WAY sooner with #2 and got bigger faster. I gained the same amount of weight both times, but I got many more, "OMG you're HUGE!!" comments the second time. If I get pregnant again I'm going to be in maternity clothes the day I pee on a stick.
Tell people to stuff it. I'm sure you look gorgeous.

Re: If this is not your first pregnancy...
My first 3 seemed to be pretty average, but I tend to gain all over instead of just my belly, so I look fat vs pregnant. #4 is totally different and I swear I started showing before I got a positive lol, I'm about 10 weeks and I've been in maternity clothes or dresses for awhile lol.

I've lost weight. The same thing happened with Hailey too. But my stomach is much bigger now that it was with Hailey.
With Hailey I didn't start gaining till 17w
