[rachelhale]

Hi yall - im new here - I got PAL without AF...On the 20th Im supposed to go in and see how far along i am... I estimate almost 11 weeks.. Do I look really big for 11 weeks?? I got this big almost right away and have gotten somewhat bigger recently... Is it normal to be this big or maybe im having twins? I know its not baby but i feel like i look like im 5 months pregnant!!

Heres a better photo - i realize my avatar is a bit dark.. thanks!

You look about the same as me when I was 12 weeks with my little boy. Do t forget that after a loss your body won't have gone back "to normal" ESP if you've not had a few cycles in between.

Lovely bump honey xx

You can never realy guesstimate from bump size, would be great if you could! I was huge almost straight away, everyone was convinced I was carrying twins. Scan showed one and since then I became smaller as it was mainly bloat and now I'm HUGE again already so people convinced they missed a second bean on the scan. Just waiting for my 20 week scan in a centre with better equipment so we can be sure whether I have two, a mutant large bean or I just carry fluid like a camel!
Only real way to tell is at the scan.

I've looked bigger than you after a pizza!!!

I think your bump is lovely, don't worry too much as the uterus can grow more quickly than the baby to make room for the baby, you can retain fluid, be slower digesting your food etc

Thanks everyone! I wondered if the reason I blew up so quick with bloat was because i didnt even have a cycle before I got pregnant again! I mean like i went in to the doctor for a scan on July 6 and he told me i cant find anything.. I had a bleed and it was a miscarriage. I didnt even realize it because there was no pain. Then on the 19th during a trip to Sioux Falls my belly was hard and big again! My BFP confirmed I was again. Its really hard not to freak out when in the morning the bloat is all but gone. Now that I think about it - about a week after my big bleed my bloat was gone... I know it might sound silly but I never new I could feel so empty.
