Not happy, just spent ages making dinner and the packet thing made it inedable, was seriously disgusting so just nipped over the road to the chippy to get me and OH some chips and was met with 'OMG you're massive! When are you due?' and when I ave my answer of 4 weeks a huge gasp was heard, then she said 'really?? God you're massive, I hope you're ready to brace yourself!!' seriously, I know they think the baby might be big and usually I'm smallish but to actually be so big people are shouting omg at me, has made me quite upset already starting to worry about getting this baby out, ad that really hasn't helped any :,(

Missy.. I am bigger at 21 weeks than most people are when they pop.. I have most of mine early and by about 6 months people think I am due imminently.. just ignore comments you will probably meet someone in a few days who says you are tiny..

Oh don't let them get to you. I am due five weeks on Monday and everyday I have someone tell me just how big I am (as if I didn't know it myself!). Just try your best to enjoy every moment. I work with children and every day I have little hands grabbing my tum and I sometimes find little ears planted there as well. It is just part of the course I am afraid to say.

BTW, I have a small frame as well. I'm usually a size 8 and I had to buy a pair of size 14 maternity jeans the other week. Now, that upset me more than comments from my colleagues and strangers (the children at work don't count)

Thanks pigpen and snozberry. I too am usually a size 8 but had to buy a size 14 dress last week as I was running out of clothes. I guess I'm finding it hard as I had such a neat little bump last pregnancy and wasn't even half this big. I am concerned about getting a big baby out too, what of it gets stuck!!!! I really would like baby to come soon..... 36 weeks tomorrow x

This is my first bump and, goodness me, the size 14 mat jeans really upset me so I went to the nearest chocolate shop! haha I just keep reminding myself that it is all for a good cause and that I can shape up as soon as it is safe to do so.

I have gone from size 14 to size 18 maternity clothes with potentially another 17 weeks to go! I have gained 2stone+ and am 5ft 3... I look ridiculous.

snozberry

I have put on just under three stone but this is my first baby. I am soooo not used to seeing *that* number when I stand on the bathroom scales! haha

I put on 3.5 stone with my first.. and lost it all within a few weeks of having him.. but I feel like a walrus with this one. Possibly because of the reduced mobility too. I dread to think how much I will have gained by 35 weeks.. I could easily heap on another couple of ton between now and then, 14 weeks is a loooong time.

Lol I can't even bring myself to weigh myself. I'm pretty sure I weigh more than OH and I too am a shorty at 5ft 2 and a bit so look like a weeble gone wrong! I don't think my waddling helps any! Omg talking of clothes.... I don't think I have any clean clothes to wear tomorrow?! I hsven't done any washing for the last 2 days.... And only having 4 dresses and having been as work I think they're all in the wash!!! Looks like I'll be the one walking around nakey nakey or nudy rudy as we call it pigpen

snozberry

It will go fast though. I can't believe that I am now number 9 on the list - eek! It is awful having reduced mobility though. My strength and energy has vanished at the mo and I am constantly hungry. I could eat all day long if I could. Plenty of rest for you me thinks.
