I'm almost 20 weeks pregnant but I look like my 7.5 months, is this normal?

Ladies over the past week I have ballooned out. I'm not talking small bump, I'm talking about big and round. I know my uterus is below my belly button, so what do you think is going on? Is it normal to get so big and hard so quickly? I will try to attach a picture from Thursday and one from today. Thanks

19 weeks, 5 days - sorry about the angle...

I got my bump really early. It really depends on how strong your stomach muscles are and your height. As a short non active lady my bump became easy to spot around 13 weeks. By this time your internal organs are moving upwards as the baby grows. My entire upper half is solid while my baby lies right above my belly button.

Your tummy looks perfectly normal for around 20 weeks I don't think you have anything to worry about. My tummy grows in spurts to x

*snort* at least you don't have my HUGE bump!. I'm only 19 weeks and bigger than you! I think you look great! My upper bump (not the baby bump but the really squished internal organs) is large and tight while my lower bump (slightly below baby who is high around bellybutton and slightly above) is loose and a little saggy due to my excess skin from HUGE ds#2.

I agree...your tummy looks good...

Looks perfect!

I am the exact same way and this is my first baby!! I blew up like a balloon. As far as my last u/s my baby is in the 50th percentile. So it's not like she is overly big or anything. I honestly think it is just the positioning of her and my uterus.

This was my belly at 19 weeks. I think you look fine

You're similar sized to what I was at 20 weeks. Think it just depends how baby is lying. My profile pic was taken at 25 weeks, there was definitely a growth spurt for me between 20 and 25 weeks!

Looks fine to me, I'm much bigger than you

You look great! I'm only 16 weeks and my bump is huge oops!

I always wondered what the 'hard' stuff is in my bump at the top as my baby is further down - squished up organs! Thanks

Hey looking good, pop over to the bump thread at the top of the page and see how different everyone is ...

I don't think your bump looks big at all! just right for the week you are at.

 

[wifey2013]

Thanks ladies. I had no idea! I thought I was so much bigger than I should be, but I guess it's all normal

I think you look really good too! Your bump is super cute
We all need to stop comparing. Every woman carries differently, there is no right or wrong or too big or too small. I think our surroundings and society put way too much pressure on us!

Omg you look great!!! I look like that pre pregnancy, dread to think how big I will be at 20weeks.

That really is a perfect bump for 20 weeks.

Xxx
