Topic: What makes our shape... Posted: 03 May 2006 at 12:43pm |
...the way it is when we are pregnant? I was just looking at belly pics and there are so many differnt sizes and shapes at my stage I cant fugure out why some people are so obviously pregnant and some look as if they have just had too much lunch? Is it to do with pre-baby weight? Surely not cos then all skinny girls woudl be a certain way and all not-skinny girls would look another way? With height? Cant find a pattern on that either?>
ANyone know why we carry differently and one person can obviously be pregnant with a big beautiful belly while one doenst look pregnant at all at the same number of weeks?
OH and does the amoutn of extra weight you put on affect the size of yor bump or is your bump just a certain size regardless of extra weight...?

Who knows mate?!?! Maybe it's one of those hereditary (sp?) things
Mum said that I'm about the same size as she was at 30 weeks with both me and my sis

i guess we all just carry different, but good question!!! maybe depends on how the baby is lying in us.... i know somedays i look and feel HUGE and others i hardly show.
and in past pregancies i took on the fat look rather than showing pregancy, so far im more showing than not this time if that makes sense?!!!
weird how we are soooooo different

I am also unsure about all the shapes and sizes. I am 15 weeks and I think I have quite a noticable bump which worries me a little because I think that I might end up being huge!

Yeah but I dont knwo about that either see, cos some of my friends have started out havin quite a big bump for their size, but by teh time they get to late pregnancy other women who had smaller bumps seems to have caught up in size and tehy all seem to be about the same size at month 7 or so...i wonder if some people just grow their bump slower in the begining but faster fater that and some start off fast but then slow down perhaps?

Today my bump is huge. That could be all in my head because it took me 1/2 an hour to find clothes this morning, but I seriously 'look' pregnant. But with Maya I didn't pop out till much later.
But I guess I'm not the best example coz having twins I would expect to be bigger earlier.

Yeah Emma I can imagine - it's hard enoguh to work out what size you are supposed to be with one but twins? It would be even harder to know what size to expect with two little babies in there!

Good question, I have nothing to go on for this one either - seem to be VERY round now, not HUGE huge, but have a feeling I will be in the last four weeks, which isn't all that far off...
