Feel like your belly isn't growing?

kcoennen · Apr 9th, 2012, 11:37 AM

Do any of you ladies feel like your belly is not growing? I feel like I haven't grown very much in the past month. I'll be 5 months on Thursday, and I don't think I look like it at all. I am feeling more kicks this week, and I go tomorrow for our 20 week ultrasound, which I am very worried about. I have been worried all pregnancy that I will lose one of the twins, which I know being this far along, it's very rare, but it still scares me.

Oh I have a belly - trust me lol I just don't feel like it has grown in the past month. This was me 3 weeks ago. I guess I just needed to vent because I was told today that I "look small for having twins".

do u know i can walk in one shop and be told im huge then walk in another and be told im small. i think yr bump is just fine. i have wks where i dont feel like ive grown then it suddenly does.

ignore all those rude people who insist on talking about yr bump. im finding it highly annoying. most people just say its a lovely bump, but then u get the know it alls who think im tiny compared tto when they had their child etc etc etc. then i remind them im usuallt 8 half stone, and only 22wks. their faces are usually qiute funny.

Hi Hun, my boys were big at birth but I still didn't 'pop out' til 20wks onwards. It wasn't a reflection on their eventual size. From 24wks is when I looked markedly bigger than I did with one baby and measured 16wks ahead.

Your bump looks fine for gestation. This is also your first pregnancy when the muscles take longer to 'give way' lol xxx

I just said exactly the same thing to my hubby. You and I are just about the same belly size and exact bump buddies. I have my 20-week u/s today-even though we're only 19.5. I havent felt any kicks yet, only the flutters (I think). It's so stressful when it's the first time and you don't know what to expect.

Just wanted to say--I'm right there with ya!

How crazy we're exact bump buddies!! I'm leaving in 15 minutes for my appointment. Let me know how yours goes!!! We're just getting the u/s today. My appointment with the doctor is tomorrow. How are you feeling?

I feel like my tummy hasnt really changed too much, I grew 9 weeks in a month from week 13 to 17, then 7 weeks in the next month from 17 to 21. So the growth is still there but just slowing down I think. (my weight gain isnt tho, Ive gained more now than at full term with one baby)!
