Guest guest Posted May 3, 2004 Report Share Posted May 3, 2004 Hi All, I am 28 weeks pregnant and I literally look like I swallowed a basketball. People keep saying I look like I'm due anyday.....I have seen other women who are 6 months pregnant and they don't look as big as me....so what is the deal? My self esteem was doing really good until people keep saying this.....ugggh! I also went to my new ob last week and he said I am measuring about 3.5 weeks larger than I should. I don't have gestational diabetes and I still haven't gained any weight...In fact I have lost about 20 pounds since getting pregnant... My son was 9 pounds 1 ounce 4 years ago so they are worried this baby will be big too. Any thoughts or words or encouragement....am I just finding something to worry about?

Guest guest Posted May 3, 2004 Report Share Posted May 3, 2004 Chrystal, How familiar, lol! Except I wasn't nearly as far along as you (21 weeks) when we found out we would be having twins. I was growing so fast and measuring larger than was reasonable and finally at my Level II we found out exactly why. Now at 25 weeks I look (and feel for that matter) full term and people are giving me that dreaded " you look like you're gonna pop, " phrase. Are you absolutely POSITIVE you're not carrying more than one baby? LOL... I know it would be odd not to know by now, but stranger things have happened. What does your doctor say about your and your baby's sizes? Toi > Hi All, > > I am 28 weeks pregnant and I literally look like I swallowed a basketball.

Guest guest Posted May 3, 2004 Report Share Posted May 3, 2004 I'm having another US in a few weeks at my next appointment. The doctor said if I go into labor at 34 weeks they will not stop my labor.....My son was almost 3 weeks late so I truly have no idea what this baby is going to do!!! I wish they would file a flight plan so I know what to expect...but babies don't do that! Chrystal Wife to Jace - together 6 Years! Happy Mommy to - 4 Years Old!

Guest guest Posted May 6, 2004 Report Share Posted May 6, 2004 Chrystal, I am almost 28 weeks and when everyone asks when is the baby due and I say August 2nd, they say " WOW, you are really showing! I really don't care what I look like as long as the baby is healthy and my OB is okay with my weight gain (15 lbs. so far). Just think what you will get in the end. Best wishes to you!! I can't wait to hear your good news as we are so close with our due dates.
