What do you consider 'heavily pregnant?'

[lala222]

Hey girls,

Kind of a pointless thread...just my curiosity getting the better of me. When you hear people talk about "my heavily pregnant cousin, sister," etc. What do you picture when you hear that? I consider over 34 weeks to be pretty pregnant, seeing as how thats when a lot of restrictions begin like some airlines not allowing you to fly, resting more, etc.. Once again just curious to hear what you all think

I think 30+ is heavily pregnant. But I'm 24 weeks and my hubby has already referred to me as a whale lol so I am guessing opinions differ.

 

[calm]

I would say 35+ weeks

However, with all my bloat, and being pregnant with twins, I've already felt heavily pregnant more than once at 18 weeks

 

[CastawayBride]

I figure once in third tri and definitely past 30 weeks....

 

[LittleMinx]

I'm 31+3 and don't think i'm heavily pregnant yet.. I'd say 35+ weeks x

 

[MummyToAmberx]

30w on wards.

I was massive by thst stage last time.

 

[CastawayBride]

I totally think it depends on how you carry too. 30 weeks plus my son would jump and sit on my cervix. I ended up walking funny which then made my hips hurt....

 

[Hoping4Four]

34/35 weeks+ I'd say.

 

[xnewxmummyx]

I'd say 30+ week's.

It could be different for everyone. My baby was placed so weird making my lady bits have an uncomfy pressure (TMI). I had to waddle, mostly on one leg. I definitely felt heavily pregnant jk

Definitely agree with above 30 weeks

 

[edthedog]

I'd agree with you - around the 34/35 week mark.

I don't think I've ever been 'heavily pregnant' and I carried both of my girls until 41+5! I guess it depends on how you carry/size of bump/comfort levels etc... Id probably say those in their last few weeks, so maybe 35+ weeks. Everyone will have different opinions though

 

[lala222]

I agree with a lot of you-I may not feel heavily pregnant right now. but the way some strangers in public look at me (in a good natured way) and the expressions on their faces show me they consider me pretty pregnant lol. I guess I just find it comical. One week Im opening doors with groceries while chasing my toddler, which I dont mind doing obviously Its easy, but then a few weeks later suddenly everyone is opening doors for me and asking if I need help. I take this as they must think I find these tasks hard because im super pregnant..lol its just funny to me!

 

[Notabene]

36 weeks + probably......

 

[leash27]

I would say 30+ weeks but everyone is different I suppose. With DS, I felt great right up until about 38 weeks and then I struggled to do much after that. With this LO, I am so much bigger and have been finding things tough for a few weeks. I was in Asda today and the lady on the checkout said "Wow, you look like a lady in waiting. You must not have long to go" I felt like ripping her head off lol!

I am counting on being super pregnant at 30 weeks though, as with twins you are supposed to be the same as 40 weeks in a singleton pregnancy by then. I've already got quite a bump at nearly 19 weeks, so I think I'm going to be heavily pregnant sooner than later.

 

[immie]

34+

 

[tommyg]

6 mths onwards so 3rd tri really. The point when your bump is obvious and strangers should start offering a seat on the bus etc.

 

[apple_20]

Depends how 'heavy' you look?!

If say third tri but depends on how you are carrying.

Before becoming pregnant I normally would have said 30+ weeks, but with this little guy I am already feeling and looking "heavily" pregnant. even though I'm only measuring about 2 weeks ahead I already look like I'm 48 weeks pregnant (or what i assume 48 weeks pregnant would look like )
