My baby has been back to back all the way through and MW has had no problem finding the HB at all - it is always found in the centre of my belly.
My MW said yesterday that my belly has a "classic" dip in the middle of my bump of someone whose baby is back to back, do you have that?
My bump looked small too up until 31/32 weeks and was still wearing some non maternity clothes and kept being told that I didn't "look" pregnant by neighbours etc. But the last 3 or 4 weeks I have really filled out.

My MIL was telling me how when pregnant with DH, she didn't look pregnant at all, she was very petite (5' and around 7 1/2 stone) and he was a healthy 7 lb baby - but he was just hiding the whole time!


My MW does this too , I never know if she is in the right spot either!

I don;t have a dip but I do have a flat bit on the top of my bump - I thought it was because I have a scar there but maybe it is this dip?

I still wear non-maternity tops as the maternity ones tend to be too big on the bump for me.

I have put on weight - nearly two stone since I got PG so there must be something in there! I'm still petite in myself although my bottom has got bogger, but I can;t have put two stone on my bottom!

You're all so sensible I'm feeling a lot better than I was this morning.

I've put on more than that and only my boobs, belly and bottom have expanded at all - and my bum's just a little bit rounder (I think to compensate for the widened hips).

I'm not always sensible. I was up at 4am sobbing away because I couldn't find any nice paper to write a letter to my lovely husband in case I died during labour. I will not be telling him this.

hey skinty im currently living in long vests from h&m in a size 10 but my bum and hips are a normal size 14 x

SM - I wouldn't worry although evidence suggest meptid affects baby less it's a very small difference between the 2
have you also got an anti-emetic (not as I called it the other day an anti-semitic )

Ps. I'm wearing 'normal' tops too even though my bump looks big it fits fine in my tops
I measured around my waist as 40" when I did my emma jane measurements, I found last night that last time I was 3" smaller last time - those 3" have a lot of stretchmarks to answer for!

Oh yes, boobs have got bigger too! Bottom still fits in size 10 capri pants from pre-pregnancy so can;t be that huge but I was a size 8 before so even 10 feels big

I tend to weigh heavy for how I look, and if this baby is the same then it will be small but heavy. Just wish they'd scan me today instead of next thursday. You'd have thought pregnancy would have taught me patience, but apparently not!
