    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.

    You just get bigger sooner but not overall. That was my experience anyway. I was definitely bigger earlier with DS2, but I didn't grow as quickly and by about 6 months I was pretty much the same as my first pregnancy. In fact, in the last trimester people were telling me I wasn't very big.
    Don't stress about belly size... take photos and you will laugh about having thought you were big when you look back.

    Hmm I think evryone is different. Cause I have been waiting for 18 weeks to get bigger sooner lol! But have found I am actually smaller! Maybe we are just more aware of how our bodies are changing?

    Good luck with your pregnancy!

    I am pregnant with Bubs no.4 at the moment and feeling huuuuge!

    I kept pictures and measurements of my waist every month throughout my other pregnancies and they were all roughly the same (within a cm or two). This time I am measuring at what I did with 3-4 months with the others and Im only 6.5 weeks!!! I'm concerend that it might be twins (not as much as my husband though!). I dont think I have actually put on that much weight - just a whole lot bigger around the belly

    Any ideas?any thing else that might be causing this? It just seems odd to be almost the same with three and then massive this time!

    Thanks
