Anyone out there look farther along than they really are?

I'm gunna be 13 weeks tomorrow [[friday]].
That's 3 months and 1 week.
But I look like I'm going on 4 1/2 maybe 5 months possibly?

I ended up being one of the few women who actually lose ALOT of weight while they're pregnant.
I lost 30lbs so far, but I haven't lost any weight in a couple weeks.
So I really can't tell if I've gained weight from the baby n uterus or not cuz the doc said I could have gained in the tummy and lost on the body to match up so we couldn't tell what I've gained from the baby.

All I know is that I was a whopping size 12 before I got pregnant, and now I can't even fit into my fat jeans when I was REALLY over weight... which they're both a size 16/18.

I've been wearing alot of sweat-caprees, e 15/17 that stretch to I think they said a size 22/24 at the waist, so I don't have to keep buying a whole buncha cloths as I go along cuz these will fit me my entire pregnancy.

My mother carried all big babies.
Me and my first youngest sister were both 9+lbs.
My First youngest brother was 11+lbs,
My youngest brother was 10+lbs.

But my youngest sister [[she's older  than my youngest brother]] was 7+lbs and she was 2 months premature!

So my mom said that that could be the reason why I got so big so fast cuz it happened to her because she just had fast-growing big babies.
But when I went to the ER [[cuz I thought I might have been m/c cuz I was cramping REAL bad... not gunna get into it, but the baby's fine...]] he told me that the baby was still too small to be making my tummy pop out like it is [[I was only 7w5d at the time]] but my uterus did feel a lil bit big for only being that far along.
He said that my uterus could just be a bit ahead of itself, but the baby should catch up soon enough.

Does anyone else have this problem where they look alot farther along than they really are?

Even though I got big and lost the weight n what not, my tummy has always stayed flat no matter how chubby I got.
And now I got 5 GOOD stretch marks cuz of Mnt. Tummy over here.
Ugh!

Hopefully one of you will be able to tell me you're having the same problem so I don't feel so left out. lol

Im a beast!!!! Lol!!

Im 19 weeks 3 days and have a huge belly - my doc thinks im measuring 2 or 3 weeks further along.

I think it may be because im quite small built naturally (pre-pregnancy a uk size 6-8) and im still managing to get into size 8 hipster jeans (with a little help from a hair band to ease the pressure) lol!!

My bump is all out at front and ive gained a stone (i now weigh 9stone 5 eeek) but i look like ive gained 2.

My little girl is shaping up perfect so the sonographer says ive nothing to worry about!!!!!
