Anyone else conscious of how big they are?

I’ve had a few comments ‘sure you’re not having twins’ being the main one. And I just feel really self conscious of my bump it’s making me anxious to wear anything tight or progress further! This is my 2nd so I knew I’d be bigger but some comments have hit me haha which sounds silly

I've been told the same thing, I was super paranoid about it, but I keep trying to remind myself that they're just dicks and my body is growing at the perfect rate for my little baby.. and so is yours 💕💕

People where asking me if I was having twins at 11 weeks because I got big quickly, my mum tells me everyday I look pregnant and it annoys me so I've now got myself some 2XL hoodies from primark and OMFG!! I will never regret the decision I made, they are so comfy and you honestly can't see anything (I am 20 weeks on wednesday) xx

I get this comment all the time! Surprised you have got it from seeing your picture, you don't look big at all. People are just ignorant... I've also noticed I'm gaining weight in other places besides the bump, but it feels totally necessary for balance and strength at this point. Side note, I just signed up for a hypnobirthing course which has some great positive affirmation content which is helping the mindset a lot! ❤️

I’ve had the same a few times currently 21 weeks I just laugh it off and say nope xx

I am almost 21 weeks and someone at work said ‘Are you sure there’s only 1 baby in there?’ I laughed it off too but it does bother me that people think they have the right to comment on my body as soon as I’m pregnant. It’s very odd that it’s kind of the norm for people to touch you and discuss your constantly changing shape. I feel very on show!

Reduced Movements

Has anyone else gone in for monitoring for reduced movements and as soon as you arrive at triage the baby starts moving and the CTG is normal? It makes me feel like I am over reacting.

2nd pregnancy after c section

I’m not planning on getting pregnant anytime soon but in the future possibly. I just wanted to know how is pregnancy after c section like my fear is having to go through another emergency operation or even putting strain on my incision during pregnancy

Newborn stage

Is anyone tired of doing the same thing everyday and being on a 2-3 hour schedule? It’s the same everyday and I feel like I’m losing my mind. It’s making me depressed even if I get out once a day. When does it get better? I feel like I’m just waiting for the next stage where it’s not just sitting around all day.

Pregnancy after c section

What time scale did everyone get pregnant again after a c section?
I know the doc said they recommend eating at least a year to 18 months but it took 4 years to get pregnant the first time after being told we could not conceive naturally so not wanting to stop it happening knowing it could take a very long time again but also worried.

Labour

Think im a bit confused really, i went into traige as was having contractions eveey 3-5mins. Since being here im now having them every 2-3mins which was confirmed with the machine and i think the toco was 90-100 and they feel painful and my lower back is in loads of pain but apparently im only just over 2cm dilated maybe, she has said i can stay here for a bit longer to see if things progress as had a previous quick birth as well but i dont understand why the pains are coming this quick if im only 2cm dilated and feel a bit deflated from it also.

I had a sweep this morning also.

Baby due
