Girl don’t feel like you have to explain yourself to anyone! There is ALWAYS going to be someone who takes offense to anything you say on here. Sad but true. I know I’m 36 weeks and yes ma’am it hurts to even get out of bed and walk to the bathroom cause my big ole belly! Lol

@chasinghappiness, yeah! i had a girl and she was 7lbs 11oz.

This time around im having another girl but I guess since I lost a lot of weight after my last pregnancyI started at a better weight and i am 10lbs lighter. It helps...or at least it has made this pregnancy a little easier.

I am 5'3" tall.

With my first : started at 131lbs. Ended at 172lbs.

With this one: Started at 124lbs. I am 159lbs and I have a week left so im guessing ill stay around this weight.

I have eaten normal and done everything like i used to but with my first i ate too much and pretty unhealthy so 🤷‍♀️. It has def made a dif on my bump though, and also im carrying lower this time which has helped to be more comfortable in regards of heartburn and shortness of breath

@josefa, and how much did your baby weigh at birth? Do you know what you’re having now?

with my first I gained over 40lbs and it definetly made my belly bigger. Towards the end not only my back was killing me if i stood for long but also I would feel like all the preassure from the legs carrying all that weight made everything hard. At that point moving was hard ( and honestly im a small framed person and never been even chubby in my life so it was a lot of extra weight). This pregnancy however has been different and I can tell that because my belly is a little bit smaller and i havent put on that much weight its def easier to walk around. Still stay home these days because I can't deal with the hot weather though

@chasinghappiness, right! Everyone carries differently. Thank you so much🤗 so are you!

@amw322, i think every single mom is a Warrior we’re making humans! That’s hard work. I’m never insensitive towards things like that. You’re beautiful btw.

There’s nothing insensitive or inappropriate about that🤦🏽‍♀️ having a baby bump is hard period and the bigger ones you feel for. I feel you on that bc I’m not big at all and couldn’t imagine being bigger which I know I will be bc I have 13 more weeks and my back pain is already making it really hard to walk. I actually didn’t even leave my room today besides to potty😭

@hollieletcher01, thank you! You have a beautiful bump! What are you having?

@pumpernickel, yes this is all I meant. 😁 I love them big ole bellies

@rina414, but I was talking about just the belly. Did I really need to write a paragraph so you can know exactly what I meant? I told you what I meant can’t you just accept that. And anyone else that thought I was being rude can read these comments. As a pregnant woman you get big. Nothing to be ashamed of.

I had a 9lb baby and was humongous. My husband put a stool in the shower for me towards the end of my pregnancy because standing for long periods was excruciating

@chasinghappiness, That’s different than saying “You got so big. How are you standing?” and would be the appropriate way to ask someone how they’re doing/feeling. I’m not being hormonal. I’m pointing out that the way you phrased that is insensitive and could be taken the wrong way.

@rina414, actually I would except it would be me asking how she’s feeling, “is your belly weighing on your back or hips?” “Would you like to sit?” Im a mom I know how it feels. Now I get that people take things differently. I’m not insinuating that a woman is fat that’s ridiculous. I’m simply saying growing a baby is hard take a rest.

@chasinghappiness, I think the way you phrased that is a bit insensitive. You wouldn’t actually ask/say that to someone in real life would you? People have said similar things to me and it never makes me feel good.

@rina414, noooo. I’m not making fun of anyone. My point was that some woman have big bellies (no specific body type, big or small) and it looks painful to stand with a big belly.

@rina414, My exact thoughts.

Are you making fun of women that gain a lot of weight during pregnancy?

@rina414, my point?

I don’t get what your point is.

Both my babies were small 5 pounds and 6 pounds and I gained like 75 pounds during both pregnancies lol

Walking is good go have a walk for 30 min a day

@tyrellp, I need to try to stay active this time around. Maybe I’ll heal faster

@haslberry, I’m scared I’m having another boy 😣 lol

@chasinghappiness, Nope - another girl. Could have fooled me though because my symptoms were completely different.

I got used to it, i walked to and from work 5 days a week and i was on my feet majority of the day until i was 37 weeks. I was 140 before i got pregnant and 215 when i delivered lol i was sore towards the end but for the most part i was ok i stayed active.

@haslberry, are you having a boy this time?

I'm stretching pretty quick this time too. Still much smaller than the end of last time, but it gets uncomfortable when my skin can't keep up. I haven't gotten any new stretch marks either. I just feel the strain lol.

My daughter was 6 lbs. 12 oz.

Oh both babies were 5lbs.

@haslberry, my second pregnancy I felt sooooo big but everyone looked at me lol 😑 “you’re tiny hush” I wonder how big I’ll get this time around.

@tyrellp, oh no of course it’s beautiful don’t get me wrong. The bigger the better. But isn’t it painful?

I'm all belly while pregnant. I saw pictures of myself at the end of my first pregnancy, and it looked like I was going to rip open alien-style (but through my belly, of course).

Omg I did. At 7 months people in Wal Mart were asking me if I was okay and if I was having twins. I was so round! But she was a 9lb baby anyway ha.

I got a huge belly when i was pregnant, a baby bump is beautiful big or small in my opinion.
