Both times my bumps were about average size. Both girls were born just over 7lbs. My SIL's bump was way bigger than mine with #2 but our babies were born about the same size. Her Ob said she had a lot of extra amniotic fluid. Maybe I just don't have a lot of extra fluid?
-
It's hard to say - I measured a little "small" with both, but I looked enormous because I'm only 5'2. I had 5 lb babies : )
-
I had full term sized bumps from 34 weeks. Huge huge bumps and huge babies.
-
Huge. My son was 9lbs 9 oz so not surprising.
Eta: here's my last bump pic at nearly 40 weeks.
-
Well I FELT like it was SO huge, but it was probably average size. All belly, though....at the end I felt like I had a sidecar attached to my abdomen! I feel like I'm carrying this one similarly.
-
I always measured spot on. But got lots of comments about being huge. I pretty petite so I guess it just looked big on my frame.
-
@simplyfelicity: to me you look pretty normal!
-
So far (36 weeks), I've been measuring right on track. I don't feel that big, though. I mean, I think I am noticeably and definitely pregnant, even to strangers, but I don't have that "about to pop" thing going on. Yet.
-
I always got comments about how no one could believe I was as far along as I was, so I guess I carried small? I looked way bigger without clothes on tho!
-
Big. Short mama, short torso, big baby.
-
I always felt huge, but measured small in both pregnancies and got the "what? are you sure there's a baby in there?" comments...
-
@lovehoneybee: @mrsjyw: haha I think that's it. We all *feel* huge towards the end!
-
Average?
-
40weeks with my 9lb4oz baby boy!
-
This was at 36 weeks, 2 weeks before she was born. I was pretty huge all over!
-
I was huge with my 1st and he was huge. My 2nd was more average I think. This time I'm big so far. We'll see at the end. I'm short with a short torso, so the baby can't really go anywhere but out.
-
I felt huge. I am average sized but I have a short torso, so there was nowhere for baby to go but out.
-
This was 38 weeks-
-
It got huge and my kid was 9lbs 5 oz.
-
I felt huge, of course, but I don't think it was too bad considered there were two 38 week babies in there! I remember looking at twin bellies when we found out there were two and being really afraid, but my kids ended up small and the way they were positioned kept my bump on the smallish side for twins.
This was 3 days before they were born:
-
Huge.
I'm 5'3", had a 8lb 2.9oz 21.5" baby and pre-e that filled me with fluid all over. I was asked if I was having twins when I checked in for my induction.. -
I think I was pretty big.
This is at 40 weeks, delivered 10 days later with a 9lb, 6oz baby!!
-
Smallish to average? I have a long torso. This was my due date.
-
I think pretty normal. I was expecting to feel much bigger at the end. Here I am at 40 Wks. Baby was born 5 days later at 7 pounds.
-
Ridiculously huge! This was at 42 weeks while in labor. Baby was 8 lbs 10.9 oz.
-
Huge. Short mama, big baby, no weight gain other than the belly.
-
I measured on track but got lots of comments about looking small. My baby was 6 pounds so I think my bump was a bit small.
-
I felt huge but I think I was average. This is the day I went into labor at 37+6.
LO was 7lbs 10oz -
With #1 I carried smallish, but weighed more when I got pregnant. Lo was just over 7 lbs. Then with #2 the rest of me was a little smaller and I would say my bump was bigger but still pretty average. He was 8 lbs.
-
Not very big. Tall, and having HG, I didn't gain much. My babies were 7 pounders. This is the day I delivered DD1, at 40+6, the second pic is the day I delivered DD2, at 39+5.
-
I was small. This was 4 days before I gave birth. DS was 6lbs 5 ounces.
-
This was me at 40 weeks and I was allllll baby (lost 3kg in the last Tri due to my GD diet). Wee fella was 9lb 12oz at 40+5.
-
Actually on track (39 weeks Thursday) but it looks ENORMOUS to me. Haha. And apparently to other people too, judging from their comments ...
-
This was the day before I had him, at 39+6. I felt big but I carried low and measured 2 to 4 wks behind most of the 3rd tri. He was engaged in my pelvis very early so that was apparently why, although I got some growth scans. Baby was 7 lb 9 oz!
-
I think I started showing pretty early, and I'm still pretty large for my dates I think; but I think the bump growth has slowed down. I'm still gaining a pound a week, but I don't notice a visual difference that much.
My OB doesn't measure waist size or fundal height or anything like that.
-
Now that I'm on my home computer, this is me at 39wks with Ev and 32wks with #2:
-
I think a little big. This was 36 weeks, I had my 6 lb 11 oz dd a couple of days later.
-
Huge I feel! Measured on track with the tape at my appointments, but it got very stretches out and itchy especially around my belly button. Went to 42 weeks and my babe was over 9 pounds.
-
Me at 40 weeks. Maybe average, but I felt huge
-
I love seeing all the different bumps! I think I was average? This pic was 36 weeks with #2, she was born a week later
