7 weeks and massive!

[Juzza]

Ok - I'm just 7 wks pg with my 2nd baby and this time i feel gigantic. If i eat as much as a ginger biscuit my stomach swells up like a balloon. I was tiny and perfectly formed with Jacob - not showing until about 14-16 wks but this time OMG.

Please tell me i'm not alone - i've already bought a couple of mat tops to hide my voluptuous tum! So uncomfy too.

I'm a teacher and i just know that when i go back to school next Monday some of my older kids are gonna think somethings up especially as i'd got down to pre-pg weight in Feb.

I wouldn't mind if it was low down but it is virtually the whole of my belly.

I'm experiencing the same thing! Completely different to the first time where your bump works its way up there all firm. Oh no, this time I'm just full out bloated and its not even firm so i just look fat! lol!

Thanks for the reply Adele - very reassured but still feeling obese - especially as i'm only 5' 1" and normally 9st 4lb. I've actually taken to rubbing my tummy already so people think "Oh bless look at the blooming pregnant lady".

 

[Adele]

haha yeah I'm about 5'1 too, its so surreal because its happening so differently to last time, but i guess because everything is still pretty lax and soft from having chloe its easier to get pushed out lol. Think i'll have to start wearing my "I love my bump" top again just so people know I'm not really that fat haha.

I'm exactly the same too! Never managed to get any stomach muscles back after my first, 20 months ago. To be honest, I didn't make too much effort. So now it just all hangs out! Didn't need to wear maternity clothes til after about week 16 first time round - now I'm already in my maternity jeans and I'm only 8 weeks! The huge amount of chocolate I seem to be eating with this pregnancy could also have something to do with it!

A few people have found out and I'm sure they expect me to say I'm much further along than I am. I've given up already!

It must be second babies - my mum did say to me "well what did you expect" and she's normally very thoughtful and kind!

I didn't get the strength back in my tummy muscles but i did manage to get pretty flat but thats all gone out the window now. I'm glad really as we've wanted another baby since Christmas so this is a blessing - i just wish my bump was hard already.

I'm buying a "Mind the bump" tee and wearing it as soon as i'm 12 wks.

Good to know i'm not alone - cheers girlies x

Everyone reckons I look aboiut 5/6 months pregnant and I'm only 2 months (I think- will have to wait til the scan), uit's definately pregnancy weight because it's quite solid and rounded, starting just under my boobs!!!

 

[Adele]

Yes this is what I have! it just doesnt make any sense to me having the top half of my belly all round and hard and big yet, because i know the babys no where near there yet

CONGRATULATIONS KATRINA!!!!

I guess it's been about a year since I was on here! Seth is now 15 months old. Everything is going soo fast!!!

Just found out I am pregnant, not far along though, 9 weeks I think, but I have yet to have a scan.....

all tests were negative, so I figured (along with my doctor) that maybe I had a thyriod problem... Until today.... NOPE!!

I am really bloated, this time I am also suffering nausea.. I had no symptoms of pregnancy with Seth... so this is all really different. Somewhat scared ... LOL

Again Congrats...

Luv, Timeke
