Big bump, advice please

[samantha_sarah]

Sorry to barge in lol but i wanted to ask women with children already.

My bump is huge and alot of people have been saying recently that im too big for 31 weeks and that my baby will be huge!

The midwifes never mentioned anything to me but tbh i would say shes pretty useless.

To the women that had huge bumps, where your babys big?

I was told i had a big bump but i didnt think i was that big...but ended up having a baby 8lb 6oz x x

No but i had a really small bump and midwifes kept saying he will be small, ok i went 2 weeks overdue but he was still 8lb 1oz!! So much for being small. But my bump was tiny! So dont worry im sure if they were concerned they would have said XxxX

I'm 5 ft 1 and my bump was huge. Every midwife that saw me said I was having a large baby but he was 8 lb but quite long.

I was also told that larger babies are easier to deliver and it wasn't that bad.

You bump size will differ greatly on your height. Thats one of the biggest factors in whether you will have a small or large bump, besides the size of teh baby.
If your shorter your baby will only have so much room to grow upwards before they can only grow out, whereas if your taller then can grow up more before they get to that "only growing outward" point.
I'm 5'1 and was HUGE! My baby was also 9lbs14oz though, which I expected because large babies run in the family. However, my OBGYN thought he was only 8lbs

my bump was massive with charlie
https://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b250/xzaraxcorex/GetAttachment2.jpgthat was me at about 31 weeks! i got about twice that size!
charlie was 8lb 10.5! so not HUGE but big enuff!
Dont worry tho bigger babys are much easyer to give birth too iv heard!!

 

[samantha_sarah]

I was 8lb 9 though.

Im 5,8 so is OH and he was 7lb. Dont know if those have anything to do with it?

I got huge towards the end and the MW kept saying it was all baby, except when I gave birth it turned out to be all fluid and he was only 6lb12. I think I looked so huge because I am short waisted (only 5'3 with relatively long legs) and I am convinced that my waters went a couple of weeks early because I could no longer contain it all. Maybe you'll go early? Though I wouldn't wish that on anyone from my experience!

you could be holding a lot of water?

 

[caggimedicine]

I was told I had a huge bump - I never thought it was "huge", but it was definitely very big! I also always measured larger than the number of weeks I was pregnant. I asked the midwife a few weeks before my due date if she had any idea of approx how big my baby would be. She just said that she couldn't say, but that it was definitely not going to be a 6lber. I had an 8lb15 baby! I was 9 days overdue though.

 

[Sparky0207]

My bump was absolutely enormous and I measured big throughout but Lucy was only 7.4lbs and I had hardly any water so god knows why my bump was so big!
You'll be fine xx

This is me 2 days before giving birth, MW said I was big and baby would be big. She was 6lb 12oz (10 days early) and the bump was big because of her length rather than her weight

 

[nikky0907]

I was quite big for my height and weight and ended up with a tiny 6lbs 15oz baby

 

[brownhairedmom]

I was super big and I had a 8.10 baby but I had a lot of fluid too, the nurse told me when the dr. gave me my c-section the water went EVERYWHERE. Plus she was almost 23 inches long when she was born.

here's a pic:
