    rambosmum - this is my 3rd baby, and ive had 2 previous c-sections so they put you down for another straight away then. They told me at the 12 week scan. If you and baby are healthy and theres no reason for a caesarean, then they'll probably let you go naturally.

    Had my 20 week scan letter today a 17th august. Seems so far away!!

    I had heartburn both times, worse with dd, who was born practically bald compared to my hairy son! Lol

    Hi all,

    A wee moan post :(

    I'm 16+2 today and don't look or even feel pregnant! :(

    I was very slim before getting pregnant, and now just have a bit of 'podge', and when I tell people I am 4 months pregnant they just look at me like I'm mad.

    I also don't really feel pregnant, apart from a couple of bouts of nausea and toilet trips/stuffy nose in the early days, I have felt absolutely fine and no different to normal. Oh, I do have bigger (and sorer boobs) right enough.

    It's getting to the point where it doesn't even seem 'real' and I actually feel a bit of a fraud telling people I'm pregnant because they just can't see it - am I alone in this? Please tell me I'm not weird :(

  • Hieveryone - i'm on the other end of the scale and have been asked to many times even this week if i'm having twins! i'm going to be massive and would love my clothes to fit me for longer. I was a bit like you with my first, i remember wanting a bump not a bit of podge so that you could tell i was pregnant.

    By the end you'll be sick of being big and nothing fitting and feeling uncomfortable so make the most of it while u can.
    I'm 15 + 5 today, so just behind u.
    Still here..... but working on that!

    Hehe yes this is true, it just feels weird though, really does. A bit in 'limbo' almost - some days I even forget I am pregnant!

    Hope you're keeping well - is this your first?

    Agree with this totally. Told my parents and sisters last night and was almost wincing as I felt totally normal and apart from the photo of the scan, we have no other 'evidence'. I am overweight anyway so not expecting an obvious pregnancy bump for a long while yet :(.

    People keep telling me I have a bump but it's just podge really. I have serious bump envy, I seem to walk past 100 pregnant women a day and they all have the cutest baby bumps, I want one of those!!

    Welcome hieveryone, I've started showing over the last few weeks (am nearly 23 weeks) but found it quite hard before hand. It didn't seem real to me, I found that I was bloated quite a bit too so I would start to feel pregnant and then my bump would deflate. :-(
    Don't feel like a fraud though you have a little one growing in your belly and its exciting :-)
