Popped at 18 weeks
313 postsposted 11th Jul
Okay.... for the record -- I really do only have 1 baby in there, I've saw it on the ultrasound, doctor checks the heartrate regularily, and I have a heart doppler at home that I check it freqently too -- only 1 reading Now... I am exactly 18 weeks today and I really popped over the past week! Everyone is teasing and questioning me if I'm having twins or triplets and I really am not. Also, it looks like I've gained 20+ lbs, but I haven't even gained 1 lb yet so its not that I'm over doing the buffet or anything.
I think my belly is perfectly normal for 18 weeks, I mean heck, I'm just shy of 1/2 way there! I've considered the fact that my due-date is off. I am pretty positive of my last missed period but the doctor says my baby is measuring over my due date from the outside -- meaning she feels for her/him and the baby is bigger than it should be. At my last appointment at 16w5d my baby was already above my belly button and the doctor said it should have been below my belly button by about 3-4" Anyways, I dont want to go off subject on a rant -- I just want some ladies to relate and tell me I'm not too big for 18 weeks!!! If you were just as big please post your 18 week photo!
Thanks.

Everyone is different and if your doctor isn't concerned don't sweat it. I personally didn't even show until about 22 weeks....I have pics in my album if you wanna look........don't worry about what people think only your doctor!

Well... thats the thing -- I just popped like this far out this week and haven't been to the doctor since of course. I have an ultrasound on the 21st so we'll see if they say anything. Thus far my doctor thinks everything is fine, she says baby is big but my lack of weight gain is fine and everything else is good so i'm not worried I just keep hearing I look so big for 18 weeks, lol.

I'm 15 weeks and my tummy looks like yours. I'm having only one baby as well. This is my first. I thought I would start showing much later.
