BTDT MOMS- belly size ?

With my first pregnancy - my placenta quit at 32 weeks so I never really grew from that point on- I was actually induced at 38 weeks because of weight loss for myself and dd. I was pretty small my entire pregnancy.

However, now pregnant with DC 2 at almost 33 weeks everything seems to be going well- thank god - so my question is how much bigger should I expect to get? I feel huge right now and can't imagine getting any bigger. So how much bigger did you get in the last month or so? Did your belly get even bigger or did you basically stay the same size in the last month or two ?

TIA

I def got bigger in the last month or 2. A few weeks ago I was looking at belly pics from the end of my first pregnancy, and I have no idea how my stomach stretched out like that

Re: BTDT MOMS- belly size ?

I am just over 39 weeks and MUCH bigger than I was at 32/33 weeks! You generally gain 1 lb per week the last 4-5 weeks and 1/2 of that is directly on the baby.

i cant compare to a previous pregnancy...
but from 32 w to now which is almost 38 weeks i would say a big difference.

i feel beyond swollen and stretched tight.
sorry mama!!!

UGH!!! This is what I thought. I just cant imagine getting any bigger but I know I have about 7 more weeks of growth to go.
Thank you so much for being so honest - I really appreciate it!

Re: BTDT MOMS- belly size ?

The biggest growth for me was like 34-37 weeks. I got huge and gained the most weight with my last pg. I was really uncomfy very stretched and truthfully on my 4'11 frame thought I was going to fall over a lot.

Re: BTDT MOMS- belly size ?

I don't think I got much bigger the last few weeks. I'm about 36 weeks.

Re: BTDT MOMS- belly size ?

I got huge from about 32 weeks on. I was all belly but the last 4 weeks or so was torture because it was so big. My baby wound up being over 10 1/2 lbs so that could have definitely contributed to my large stomach!

Re: BTDT MOMS- belly size ?

I delivered my first before 32 weeks, but I was swollen and my belly was kinda huge by then lol.

I'm 37 weeks now and my belly suddenly got much bigger around 35-36 weeks. I thought it was just in my head because it really FELT much heavier all of a sudden, but my pants actually do fit much tighter, I can't really look down as much as before and my DH agrees that it looks big.

I also got the OMG is it TRIPLETS?!?! comment this past week. I've been getting the "are you sure it's not twins" comments all along, but triplets? lol. So yeah I guess it's pretty big now.
