is it the norm?

last 2 weeks or so i dont think my bump has really grown?! i can feel its heavier but i dont think its gone bigger?
when i ask ppl they say "its a little bit bigger" im sure they only say that so i wont get upset!
looking at some of your pics on here im thinking my bump is not as big really..
can it be cuz i grew soooo quickly in the beginning so its just slowing down now?
baby is suppose to put on so much now im suprised i have not exploded
I dont have midwife until tuesday

Hey
I felt like bump was not growing much towards the end, from about 32 weeks I reckon... as I was quite big quite quickly...although midwife apts said that measured fine. -Saying that, I never trusted the mw measurements as each mw seemed to measure it from a different place so the measurements did go up and down. Not long til your apt on Tuesday hon and you can discuss it with mw then xx

I never feel like mine has grown..I know it's grown though by how big the little ones movements are getting and by the measurements. I think it's because we've grown used to our bumps maybe?

I have felt my bump has grown but not out- more that it has got higher and heavier.

I was just about to post a thread on here to see whether anyone else has noticed that their bump has become much firmer at around this point?

 

[Yodabo]

Yeah, mine seems solid Annie! He seems to be moving around when I'm standing up and stuff now too.

 

[Annie050408]

Yep, I am definitely still getting lots and lots of movement.

I'm just so excited to meet our little Ella

Mine hasnt felt like it has grown for ages (although ages is probably more like days time is dragging a bit at the mo lol)

A friend from work has just popped over and he said it doesnt look smaller just lower, so im assuming its dropped im ok with that!

 

[isobel84]

[isobel84]
