I mean it's really really BiG! Don't get me wrong, I love my big belly :-), but I've been looking at pictures of other pregnant moms at 22 weeks in the internet and they don't look as big as mine, is this normal? Is there a normal size?

You could be having twins or more! I don't know if you had a sonogram or not... to find out if you're having a multiple birth. Pregnant women retain water... so, maybe that's it. Drinking a lot of sodium - filled sodas can do this to anyone's body. Women have all different shaped bodies when pregnant. If you're really concerned, you should talk to your doctor or a family member (preferably a woman who has been pregnant before).

Everyone looks differently during pregnancy. My second and third kids I was so huge that people thought I was having twins. I asked my doctor when he measured my belly during visits if I was the normal size and he always said that everything looked good and that I was the normal size and so was my baby. He always assured me that it appeared that I was only having one baby. So if you're unsure, just ask your doctor the next time you go and he measures your belly. Good luck and God bless.

yeah it is normal. i'm 15 weeks and i'm already showing and this is my first pregnancy. i started showing over night about a week ago. i'm going to be HUGE when i'm 22 weeks because i'm already have a tummy. It's because our uterus is up and more to the front of our bodies instead of towards the back. people with their uterus towards the back can hide it more than those towards the front.

Everyone is different. Is this your first baby. If not a lot of women tend to show and get bigger sooner because all of the stomach muscles are stretched out. Also have your doctor check your fluid levels. Sometimes if there is too much fluid in the sac it can cause you to look bigger.

I "popped" around the same time. I was HUGE. I remember not being due till 12/16 (some year back), and when I went back to work in the beginning of Sept., everyone was like "Wow, you are HUGE. You will never make it till Dec." And I didn't; I was three weeks early.

All women are different. I was HUGE with my second child. Love it. You only have an excuse to be fat for 9 months, so don't waste it worrying about what other women look like. Go get you some adorable maternity clothes and rock on with your sexy pregnant self!!!!

Everyone is different and every pregnancy is different. I am 20 weeks and I look like I am about 23 weeks.

yes its normal and you should be happy that you are gradually growing and not like some women who start growing big at 5-6 months they tend to have alot of strechmarks. So your fine just enjoy being prego
