I'm 9 weeks and HUGE - Could it be twins?!!!!

[cahrens1987]

Hello,

Just a brief on my body shape - I'm 23 years old and pregnant with my first child. I'm 5ft 4 and was 9st 11lbs with a Healthy BMI when I first fell pregnant... I have always had broad shoulders and a large bone structure.

So... each week I have been taking belly pictures. As of today I am about 9.5 weeks pregnant (at my best guess based on my last period 3 March), but compared to friends and family of similar age and build who have had/are having babies - I am showing A LOT more at only just gone 9 weeks then they were. MY BELLY IS MASSIVE.

Also you should know I have had sevre morning sickness... I feel like utter cr*p every single day, from morning until evening. Eating small portions thoughtout the day usually helps but it has never actually goes. On average I'm sick about 6 - 12 times a week!

I have attached 3 pics to this thread. The first is me at 4 weeks, the second is at 6.5 weeks and the third is last night at 9.5 weeks.

Please can you tell me if you was/are showing this much at between 9 and 10 weeks?? I'm thinking maybe Ive got twins ??? But I'm not jumping the gun yet... just want others oppinion. And how much you were/are showing at 9 weeks????

Thanks a lot lovely ladies

P.s if your wondering how I suddenly got a tattoo in the final picture (I had it anyway!). The picture was taken from the other side of my body, I just had the picture flipped so it was easier to compare to the others! lol

It could be hun, but then again some women do just show a lot earlier than others xx I know of a lady who is carrying triplets just now (the wife of someone who plays in the brass band i'm in) and she isn't that big yet - and she was 10 weeks when i last saw her xx

Anythings possible though xx

You might be a lot further along than you think too xx

 

[cosmicgirl]

I wasn't any bigger with my twins than I was with my singletons, not at your stage anyway xx

 

[knopk@]

Thats a big difference, maybe triplets? I think the only way is to get a dating scan, it will clarify the situation, maybe you are further along

Hi, I think it just depends on our bodies.))
I was at hospital today for my first scan and saw one lady who is pregnant with twins, she barely had any tummy at all...
I had quite a tummy at nine weeks ( knowing that I'm first time pregnant)

woah thats a big bumo for 9 weeks hun x

Goodness! I really cant give any advice but there is no doubt you are pregnant! wow-it is a lovely shape though! do you think its water retention? Is it a firm bump? Have you spoken to your midwife about your bump? she should be able to put your mind at ease. I am 9 wks tomorrow and have a tiny bump but thats because i have bigger hips and its all internal (at the moment?!!)

I dont know if its water retention or bloating but I cant be sure... the lowest part of my bump is quite hard yes.

I havent seen a midwife yet, I have my first midwife appointment on Friday 27th May, so a few weeks off yet! I guess I'm rathing impatient

Thanks for comments xXx

Its a lovely bump! You won't know for sure until ur dating scan!

That's def a bug bump for 9 weeks. I was that size at 16 weeks with my 2nd!!
Congrats on your pregnancy though x x

 

[mikid]

Gosh, that really is big for 9 weeks with your first as well... I'm a similar size to you 5ft 3 and 9st before getting pregnant and your 9 week bump looks like my 28 week one (below)! Granted mine is higher but in terms of how much it sticks out...!!

Could well be twins... be interesting to hear results of your scan

 

[Cazzlou]

my friend had a bump like yours at 8 weeks infact i think it was bigger and she is only a small build but was a singleton

 

[Sarah13]

Well you have a bigger bump than me and I'm 16 weeks tomorrow, second pregnancy and about the same build etc as you! So you never know.... Have you looked through the bumpy pics, some women just show more quicker than others and have more water retention, guess you will find out for sure in a couple on weeks!

 

[Princess81]

Maybe check our tri1 bumpy pics thread to compare

A girl I work with had ur size bump at around 8 weeks. You might find that u stay that size for a while before getting any bigger. But only way to know for sure is a scan!
Im 9 wks as well but no bump yet just a bit bloated

I am expecting twins and am 13 weeks pregnant and my bump is nowhere near that size.

Could be twins or you could be further along than you think? xx
