Hi Ladies

Was just wondering -

Everyone is different when it comes to bump sizes. I'm just wondering how its possible that someone could have a bump that looks 6 months (when they are only about 2/3 months gone) when their little baby is tiny. There's no denying that the bumps are caused by a baby, but surely its not the baby itself. Is it the womb that goes that size, but the actual baby is a normal size? Or is it just bloat?

There's no denying that 2nd/3rd babies are larger and bumps are larger, but surely its not the actual baby? For example if someone is 2 months gone with a 6 month bump, the baby couldn't possibly be developed enough to be the size that the bump looks?!

Maybe i'm just being dumb, but I just cant figure it out.

:wacko:

I have a visably bigger tummy and it does look like im further on than I am, but my baby is only the size of a plum, therefore it could never be my baby that causes me to be this big

:wacko:
 
As far as I understand it, with second/third babies (or of course more) the uterus has already stretched before so knows what to do, and therefore lifts out of the pelvis sooner. I think! On the first baby it's all new and the uterus has never been any bigger than it's used to.
So baby wise, it's no bigger or smaller whatever the number child it is, it's the uterus itself that creates the bump.
 
Ah, thanks that makes sense.

I've often heard people saying, they have a big bump therefore, they're having a big baby, but that may not be the case, unless its in the later stages of pregnancy of course.

In other words, there is no way of judging what size the baby will be at birth, when its this early on.

Think im finally starting to understand

:winkwink:
