Why Do I Look And Feel So Big?

Question

Okay so I'm 3 months pregnant and I'm huge. The picture by my name is me.This isn't my first pregnancy. I've had four other pregnancies. I've had 3 miscarriages and the fourth time i gave birth to stillborn twins at 5 months. I know they say that women who have had children before tend to get bigger faster but I've never actually had my children except for the stillborn twins. I feel huge and I know I look huge. So I'm just wondering is this normal for me to be this big. My doctor says don't worry about it but sometimes i feel like he doesn't know what he is talking about. How far along do i actually look? Or is it all in my head? So i was wondering what you guys think. Please be nice! okay ^.^

Answer 1

awww, you do look quite big for saying your 3 months!

Hope everything goes well!!!!!!

Answer 2

u might possibly have twins again? maybe??

I was about your size at 19 weeks. Im sorry about your loses- Just keep up with your prental appointments, take your vitamins.  

Answer 3

It's a question of the skin being stretched and your body kind of knowing what's coming, and the muscles just relaxing.  I think your experience with the twins was enough to put your body in that state, so it's not surprising you are showing early.  

You are one amazing woman to have fought so hard for a baby - I really admire you!  Good luck and don't worry, you just look like a mom to be!

Answer 4

sorry to hear of your losses. you do look quite big for three months but my friend was massive at three months she was very skinny and small figure. she slowed down though and now had a healthy baby girl about a week ago. i looks bigger to you because your looking down on it, you look pregnant but you dont look huage, it will slow down. good luck

Answer 5

Wow im so sorry for your losses. You do look rather pregnant, i wasnt that big till about 6 or months. Maybe twins again? or have you had an ultrasound?

Answer 6

This is my first pregnancy, and I was the same way.  I gained sooo fast then gradually it slowed down.  I have less than 2 weeks to go, and most people think I'm about 7 months along.

Different people gain differently!  You don't look very big.  I would've said maaaybe 4 months.  You can tell, but it's not like a hideous fattening or anything!  You are a beautiful pregnant woman!  I think you look great.  If you want to not gain but so much, try walking on a daily basis, or at least 4 times a week.  It wil keep you in shape and you won't gain AS much (hopefully!)

Don't sweat it.  Even if you do look further along in person, you're pregnant.  You have an excuse=)
