Only 22 weeks but feeling about 32 weeks already!!!!

[Jakabella]

I hear ya Ren! I am 31 weeks now and I am as big as I was with Bella at 40 weeks! And bub feels so much bigger and moves so much more!
I think its eally due to the fact that our bodies know what they are doing this time around - I was big early on and I think it was because my tummy muscles said "Oh yeah I know what we are doing here" and just let it happen - Not like the stretching that our muscles go through for the first time.

Yep me too. This bub truly summersaults! My midwife said the muscles are looser so it's easier to feel the uterus...that's why people can feel movement already. I remember when my mum was pg with her fourth we could see limbs etc because the uterus was that much closer to the surface.

Feeling much heavier too this pg, like the baby is sitting on my cervix!

Its taken me to have #7 to feel super huge and heavy early on, but yes, im the same right now. I wonder how huge im going to be at term lol.

There may be theory in the boy thing though, cos after 4 girls in a row im now having a boy and i am SURE im carrying him completely different to what im used to (other boy 9 yrs ago so have forgotten what its like to carry boys).

Shanti: I'm the same. I'm almost 25 weeks, but I swear I didn't look this pregnant until more like 35 weeks last time!

Yep pg with number 6 and I already look like I did at term with number 1 . I've gotten bigger quicker with each pg but weight wise for bubs they have gotten smaller, plus I've had bad stomach muscle separtion with the last two so that doesn't help with my size, lol.

[Shanti]

I knew I couldn't be the only one!

I am also glad to hear it doesn't necessarily mean bub will be bigger than the last one - phew! haha.....

Yep...apparently it is common for next pregnancies. I was like that too. My OB kept asking if i felt big...pretty much every time from about then...i began thinking !geez i must be big' for him to keep saying it- he'd only just seen me with my 1st pregnancy a little over a year ago at that point (though he did repeat alot of information or questions anyway...so maybe he was just forgetful )

And in regard to feeling like it....it doesn't help having a toddler to chase after too
