How big did you get...
I'm 18.5 weeks and I already look (and feel) like I'm about 6 months. My back is killing me, I already am having carpal tunnel flare ups..I am due in May I can only imagine how big and uncomfortable I will be.
I work FT and I told my friends here I might just have to get a scooter towards the end 
Though I have a feeling I will probably be working from home a lot...

Re: How big did you get...
Hang in there, you'll only get bigger! By the end of my pregnancy with my twins I had only gained about 30lbs (lost 25lbs before I even got home after discharge) but was GIGANTIC!

Re: How big did you get...
I got so swollen, which eventually turned into pre e. The swelling was painful and made it hard to walk after about 30 weeks, but i managed to work till a week before birth and i only stopped bc i had bronchitis. I was so done being pregnant by the time I gave birth. The good news is most of the swelling melted away within the first 10 days and I ended up losing 50 of the 75 lbs I gained.

Re: How big did you get...
its all temporary.. try to embrace it as it wont last (I know I never believd it when I was preggo) I gained 30-35 lbs-depending on the day lol-and I lost it all by 4 weeks after giving birth.
I was super uncomfortable by 5.5 months.. I remember hitting a wall. But Id do it all over again in a heartbeat!

Re: How big did you get...
My belly never got that big. I think they were really tucked up under my rib cage.
I gained around 55 or 60lbs and delivered at 34 weeks. I was VERY swollen which was pretty uncomfortable.

How big did you get...
I was huge and uncomfortable. I gained 25-30 punds but I'm petite and my belly looked enormous. I also had about two 6 pounders towards the end. I could hardly move,pee or do anything by the end but I honestly miss it!! GOod news is the weight all came off by one week pp. It was amazing and belly I little bloated but looks totally normal again wich I didn't think was possible:)

Re: How big did you get...
I only gained like 16 or 18 lbs. I had my girls at 36 weeks and had 11.5 lbs of baby in there. (Plus all the placenta etc weight). I didn't start showing til like 24ish weeks but I was heavy to begin with. I did maternity pics at 33 weeks and didnt think I looked that big (surprisingly). I was back into pre pregnancy jeans once the c section swelling went down.
Eta- I think a lot depends on the position of the babies. I would show more when B would move up to my upper abdomen. A was always head down and low on Kane side of me.
