I feel like I got big and got "wow you are big" comments until 30 weeks. But since then (4 weeks) I feel like my stomach isn't that much bigger. My belly button is definitely on the verge of exploding and at my OB appt last week she said I'm measuring normally, but I just don't feel like my belly has grown that much. Baby has dropped and my bump is really low, so I wonder if that's why. Or maybe it's b/c I'm on bedrest and wear sweats all day and just don't notice ; )
Anyone else?

I feel like I stopped noticing it getting bigger but other people would comment on how round or big it is getting. Then I had my husband take a picture of just the bump and I saw how big it actually was....so not plateauing! haha

I wish! The last couple weeks I feel like I have exploded. I think baby dropping makes any growth much more noticeable somehow.

I took bump pictures every two weeks and sometimes I couldn't tell the difference. And then sometimes it was like wow, LO grew so much in just a couple of weeks!

from weeks 28-34 i felt like a plateued and when I look at my bump pictures there wasn't as much of a noticeable difference. Even my measurements slowed down for a couple of weeks there. But, I agree with MsMini since I've started to drop now at almost 37 weeks I feel like my bump has gotten huge!

I always grew a lot in a couple days, and then wouldn't grow for a couple weeks, even a month. Then, out of nowhere I would wake up and be huge again, and then not grow for another couple weeks after that.
Just the other day I noticed my stomach was much larger than it had been the day before... I swear it doubled in size overnight.
However, my OB says that unless you swell/retain water, most people stop gaining weight after 37 weeks. I think I have had my last "growth spurt!"

LOL so I think I spoke too soon. Suddenly I feel like my bump doubled in size overnight. I think I just have a pattern of slow growth, then BAM.
