    Often you are but not always. Because its not your first baby your skin isnt as taunt as it use to be and more relaxed as are the muscles so you appear bigger. Also your weight and the way the baby is lying changes how big you are. It doesn't neccessarily mean your baby is bigger either then no 1.

    I know what you mean Kanda. My belly wasn't very big with DD and I took a photo today at 9 weeks and compared to my belly pictures with DD and I am about the same size as the 13 weeks and 5 days photo. I am looking forward to having a big round belly though as with DD people just thought I was getting fat .

    Hmm. I have Belly shots of 3, 4, 5 and 6, although all at different times - so not so much with the comparing... Also 4 and 5 were 2 pound bigger than 3. I am about the same now as I was with 4, and I was 40wks with the photo of 3, so I guess I can compare them and see if I am getting another 6 pounder or 8 pounder, haha.

    As for noticing.. I always feel like a city bus, so I guess I cant help too much there.

    I feel HUGE with this one already! Kinda freaking out about how big I might get further down the track. But DS was only 3lb 10oz (1.6kg) at 36wks gest so we are all hoping I will get bigger than that anyway.

    But I really feel like a beached whale and I still have 16 weeks (hopefully) to go!!

    Oh but I must say that when I found out I was pregnant with DD within 2 weeks I had stretch marks forming on my thighs and my bum and thighs grew really fast, however this time my bum and thighs still seem in tact - so far!

    That happened with my first pregnancy too. It's like the just popped up all over the show straight away. I didn't get any new ones with DS2.
    I showed earlier with DS2 aswell, but I was thinner too, so that may have been a factor. Idk really.

    GL with your pgs ladies.
