Honest Opinion?

Ok. I want some honest opinions....Do I really look like I'm nearly ready to have my baby???? I have had a lot of jokes about how I must be having twins or that I'm lying about my due date.
I donn't think I look that big? But even my fiancee reckons I look pretty far along! I'm only just 4 months pregnant, or 18 weeks so not even half way yet.

I couldn't remember which one makes the picture show... Hopefully you can see one of them anyway!

Really? Wow I couldn't imagine being much bigger at only 18 weeks. I guess I'm just stressing because I don't remember looking so obviously pregnant at the same stage last time with Alex, and he was 9 pound 2.

First of all, I think your figure looks wonderful, and I love the top you are wearing in that photo! Secondly, I reckon you'd probably look a lot more 'round' if you were further along / closer to your due date - although it's not like I speak from experience, just a feeling really, and also I do realise that womens bellies can be vastly different at different stages so yeah. I think some people can just be outright rude ! Maybe they've never really had to deal with someone being so obviously pregnant around them, which is a shame really.

Thanks Aimee I'm hoping for no problems with my ribs this time too! Bubs is moving around heaps but kind of harder to feel than Alex was, I think because this time my placenta is in front this time.
Thank you Jax! Its lovely having a compliment like that. They have been very few & far between lately. The most I ever get from Spencer is "Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm big belly....". I don't think most people mean to be rude (although I have had a couple of nasty comments about how close together my babies will be), usually the people who comment on my tummy are little old ladies at the supermarket.
I'm hoping I don't get as big as I was last time because last time I physically couldn't drive for the final 4 weeks. Couldn't reach with my feet unless I squished my tummy in tightly

I can't comment on showing of course but I agree with what others have said...I think yhou look gorgeous in that photo!

take a look at this site - it has awesome pics of womans tummys at every week of gestation. Its great to compare how you look to how others look at the same time - i was really surprised at how big some woman are earlier on. And remember the more babies you've had the bigger you will be earlier - just enjoy!!!

I had a look at that site & it was great! Made me feel alot better.
My friend Amber is due 5 weeks before me & its been a bit awful because I'm looking alot bigger than her. But its only her first compared to my second so it makes sense I suppose.

Meant to say that you have a gorgeous belly Toni!!!

Very clucky

Hahahaha Nikki! So when is YOUR next one????

Feeling ALOT better after hearing from everyone so thanks. I will be 20 weekson friday & I have an anatomy scan on Monday so fingers crossed I can find out if I'm having a boy or girl. I really want a little girl, then that will be it for me, no more babies....Unless we have a boy in which case we will have another go in a few years.
I can't wait until Monday! Please please baby don't cross your legs!

Ooooh good luck for Monday Toni, hope baby behaves for you!
