um... did anyone else get massive really quickly? I'm having my second baby and I'm 9 weeks along. This is me:

My tummy was flat before I got pregnant. It started getting bigger at about 5 weeks.
I saw my midwife yesterday and she thought she could feel my womb, but said it may have been my bladder. She couldn't hear a heartbeat, so she thought it was unlikely my dates were a month ahead. So now I just can't shake off the thought I might have twins in there... my scan isn't until August 3rd.0 -

That was me! I posted a pic of me at 10 weeks and everyone thought I looked at least 20! I was convinced I was having twins, even after my 12 week scan, right up until my 20 week scan showed there was definitely just one, but a big 'un. I was a size 10 before I got pregnant, my 9 year old son asked me the day after I got my +ve test if I was pregnant because he said I had a big tummy, and I was in maternity clothes by week 7. It was baby no 3 for me.
Don't google the odds of them missing a twin on an early scan! It will only scare you and despite what the internet says I think it is pretty rare.
I'm 29 weeks now by the way, and a reasonably normal size for my dates. I grew into my bump slowly!0 -
wm - okay I have a bit weird taste, but maybe some of these will be useful:
Lane, Aidan, Kieran, Cole, Reid, Kyan, Liam, Arion, Kellan, Cole, Conlan, Caelan, Niall
We really like Irish/Celtic names, but I kept out some of the more...unusual...ones, hehe

thankyou! Glad I'm not the only one! I was wearing a size eight before, and I've been in maternity clothes since week 6.
Thanks for replying :-)0 -
Hi Lister - nice bump!!
Mine looks a similar size and I am 9+3!!!
I'm also about a size 8. I have grown out of my bras too, I'm wearing a sports bra today but i didn't realise that you can see the big grey straps with this t shirt so I'm spending all day pulling clothes around to hide them! (Got dressed at 6.30am so didn't spend too long looking in the mirror before I left!!)0 -
