Answer 1

Maybe you're alot further along than predicted!? Or maybe it's a really large baby. lol...I would ask the doctor and see what he/she says.

Answer 2

It's probably because your body has been stretched twice before this pregnancy, it doesn't necessarily mean you are going to have a big baby.  

Answer 3

It looks like you a smaller woman, so it may just be because you are tiny so any baby bump will look bigger on you.  Also have you gotten an ultrasound to confirm you are only 3 months?

Also you can be a larger at this stage if it is more than one baby... Do twins run in the family????

Answer 4

It's most likely because it's your 3rd baby. Your body has already streched out and your stomach muscles don't hold everything in the way they did with the 1st.

Answer 5

You look like Scanner. You steal a picture from my 360 or sumpthin'?

Answer 6

i think maybe because you had 2 babies before and also because you have twins!

Answer 7

Have you seen a doctor yet? Did you have an ultrasound with that baby yet? If not, I would suggest you do. If yes, then your doctor or ultrasound tech can tell you if something is off.

Personally, I think each pregnancy is different and unique. Don't just listen to anybody. Talk to professionals, if necessary more than one doctor and more than one ultrasound tech.  

Answer 8

MAYBE UR HAVING TWINSS

Answer 9

alot of it could be water weight....i wouldnt worry too much! im sure your baby will be normal size....maybe twins?? lol

Answer 10

I am 4 months and look about the same, maybe a little bigger.  My doctor says it is because I this is my 5th pregnancy (I lost all 4 other babies)  and my body knows what to do.  Not very comforting but true I suppose.  I'm not having twins but I do have very slow moving bowels (bloating) and am carrying some water so the doctor also says that could be adding to my size.  You look fine!!  Be proud of your pregnant belly!!

Answer 11

ok i know you might not want advise from a 15 year old but im pregnant to and im that big maybe even a little but bigger and im only 4 months and i know i only have one in there but my doctor said that it could be all the ammniotic fluids the baby is living in...or maybe its only how your body is responding to the pregnancy you might be havin a boy cause boys tend to show more than girls do but i dk you might want to make sure that your only havin one  cause you might have two or three in there lol  

Answer 12

wow 3 months!!!...thats so cute though :)...if the doctor thinks its fine then you have no problem...but you probably will end up with a bigger baby then what you normally do

Congrats!

Answer 13

yes though it's kind of hard to see, you do look larger than usual for three months.  But since it is your third baby, your stomach muscles might have weakened from the previous pregnancies and immediately you "popped" out this time.  However you might be having multiples also.  What does your doctor say?

Answer 14

I'm 6 mos and I'm not "showing" as much as you.  But this is my first child.  Your having your 3rd?  Most women "show" earlier with each sequential pregnancy.  It also may be that you've gained a few pounds earlier this time that in the past.  (Don't hate me for that.  I mean nothing by it.  I haven't gained any at all and I get the "how much are you going to gain" question often).  One thing is I was overweight when I became pregnant, so I've always 'shown'.  You look to be fairly thin, so this too could be a reason your showing earlier.  Just embrace it.  Your belly bump is beautiful!!!!

Answer 15

Usually after your first baby you start to show sooner and bigger.  This is my first baby and my cousin is having her third (after twins) and we're a week apart.  She looks a LOT bigger than I do.  I think it's just because your body is already used to having a baby in there and can stretch easier. :)
