With my first son I was little and petite, and with this one my stomach is huge. They told me it could be a 9-10lb boy. My first son was only 7lb2ozs. (Thank goodness since I already had a c-section I am getting another one!)
And I was at the store the other day and the clerk looked at me and said you don't have much longer do you. I told her no. She was like I am six months pregnant and miserable. I looked at her and was like there is no way your pregnant she picked up her shirt to show me her little itty bitty bump. You could bearly see it. I was like it must be nice to be that little. I told her she needed to carry my bump around for a while. Does anyone else get jealous over the girls with the little baby bumps, when it looks like you have a watermelon inside of you? I think I'm Just tired of not being able to put my own pants on. LOL... I have to have my husband help do everything this time around.

I love being pregnant and letting people know that I am. Like I said I think I am just getting frusterated not being able to do simple things, like putting on my own pants. LOL

I don't want anyone to think that I don't like being pregnant. I love being pregnant. I guess like the women who keep saying they wish their bump was bigger, I wish sometimes I was smaller. I wish I could get down on the floor to play cars with my son and then get back up again without the help of my husband. Or use a computer chair to move around my son's room to help him to pick up his toys off the floor. I love every minute about being pregnant, but sometimes I just wish that I could move around and even turn over in my bed. But I only have a few weeks left. So I'm gonna enjoy it. Good Luck to all of you that are pregnant!

Hi i am all baby, and due with a girl July 15th. I have a neighbor here at Fort Bragg who is having her second boy the 27th of July, and a few weeks ago she said to me that I was huge!!!!! I wanted to scream! This woman is older than I am, but by no means is she smaller! I can tell she is pregnant...people can't tell I am pregnant unless they see me from the front, the back I look normal. I even got tired of my M-I-L saying to me when I was about 6 months how big I was, and I didn't even start to put weight until I was 6 1/2-7months. I sometimes wish I just had a little bump. I am proud of mine though! At night I am the hottest, and it feels like I have ham in my oven! I have a pumpkin belly and proud of it!

Im 36 weeks as well, due July 7th. I was over weight for many years and managed to shed 80 lb before I got pregnant. I was afraid that I would never show or look like I was just really fat. I was able to wear regular clothes up until my 7th month. I still wear elastic waste band clothes or the clothes I wore when I was bigger. I really started poking out and looking more pregnant when I hit 8 months. My uterus is tilted, so I poke out and its obvious at the top, but I didnt have the normal rounded belly that most women have. Its starting to round out more, but not as much. I used to get jealous of the women who looked like basketballs or were obviously pregnant. Id get frustrated going shopping because most stores have 4 racks and its all small, medium and large. I have found a few plus sized stores, but Im barely plus sized now. Just enough to be an inbetweener.
What I miss was the achievement of losing the weight I did. Ive only gained 15 lb with this pregnancy (my first one) and so hopefully it will come off fast like it did before I got pregnant. The only thing Im not looking forward to is bigger boobs. Mine are DD's before pregnancy and Im not looking forward to having to get EE's or FF's. Hopefully they will go down too after I get done breastfeeding.

Yes, I went through that myself! I was 6 months pregnant and got chatting with a woman who was due in a week or something and her belly was smaller than mine! I was so jealous. I gained 50lbs with my first and she was 9lb5oz.
But at the same time, I loved it. I sometimes wished it was easier to carry around all the extra weight, but my daughter is 9 months old now and I still wish there was an easier way to carry around the extra weight! Just remember you and your big belly are BEAUTIFUL!
If you're ever interested in trying natural birth, vaginal birth after cesarean is an option. you're close but always have the option to change your mind.

I loved being pregnant. I wanted people to see my big bump. I was like you, all belly. A lot of women have a long torso so the uterus doesnt push out until it has too. I'm 5'1 and not much room so the only way was OUT! Dont worry about it I'm sure you look adorable.

i have 2 children and i was one of those women with the tiny bumps that you are talking about. with my son, i think i had an averaged size bump for my size but with my daughter i carried very very very small. i didn't hardly wear maternity clothes my entire pregnancy. i am not telling you this to make you feel bad in any way, i am telling you this b/c a girl like me at that time was very envious of a woman like you. i wished that i looked more pregnant, that i could "feel" more pregnant. i wanted to laugh at myself not being able to paint my own toe nails or laugh at not being able to see my own feet. i didn't get that and it made me sad. so enjoy while it lasts and know that being pregnant just makes you more beautiful than you already are.

I am 31 weeks and this is my 4th. with the other 3 I didn;t show that much and carried well. With this one i look so much bigger and look terrible. IT is frustrating. especially when you have people that point out that you look like you are carrying twins etc. I was looking at other girls about 7 months and I was about the same as them, but I always carried smaller so I was not used to this,. I mean when youa re pregant why do people have to be like wow I bet you feel fat... it is like we are not fat just pregant...so I soo feel ya
