Did anyone find that their tummy poopped out a lot earlier (and bigger) than the first time around?
I swear I wasnt showing till probably 6th month with munchkin but this time around, at almost 22 weeks, I feel like i am the same size as I was during my later stages of pregnancy 1.
I am beginning to really get concerned that I may look like a complete walrus by the time im done… im monitoring my weight, and its not out of the ordinary (least the doc and midwife havent said so) and during the beginning it seemed like i wasnt puttign weight on at all… so is it catch-up? I’ve heard an average of 12kg gain is quite ok… so ive still got about 5kg to go for that to tick over…
I am not bursting anywhere else… its just the big fat watermelon size tummy thats making things a little uncomfortable.
its because your muscles have already stretched out once. i've heard that from all of my second-time preggo friends - they pop sooner, they grow bigger, etc.
^ lol thanks autumn! I am destined to be a whale in that case.
To be really honest. If you look at me from the front, you cant even tell i am pregnant. A shop assistant asked me yesterday whether it was me who was expecting or someone else (cus of the nappy bag) and I was like "are u kidding me?! can u not see the size of my bulge?!"
Ya but i also hear that u lose itfaster the 2nd time around... I was back in my pre pregnancy weight a month after genie was born.... Then i ate like a pig and started to gain a bit... But still not like i did with the midget.
I always start showing immediately... By 5th month i look like im carrying multiples. Both times tht was the case. But then i stop gaining .. Just a few grams here and there in my final months.
im smaller this time round only coz i lost a whole load of weight before i got preggers....but hey i'm sure as heck making up for it!! tummy is bigger and everything else the same....lets just hope we can drop the fat after the baby arrives inshAllah!!!!
