Anyone else paranoid?

Hey, Im just wondering if it's just me who is completely paranoid about bumpimg your bump lol!  I've been soooo clumsy over the last few weeks walking into people, and doors etc. Im 29 weeks and starting to worry I might actually do the baby some damage. I feel like sitting at home until its born.... but that would be a long 11 weeks and I need to work.

P.S My bump is huge and scans show its a big baby. Anyone else having a big baby also?

Thanks for any info xx

lol you're not gunna hurt the baby.
Your womb is very padded and protects the baby very well.
Now if you fell on your belly, or someone fell on your belly, then I'd be worried but other than that you're fine.

I have poor sight in my right eye, and when I wake up and am still drowsie, I tend to see doubles and tripples along with alot of blurryness for a while until I'm fully away.
I bump belly and face first into doorways n what not all the time with both of my pregnancies.
My daughter came out fine, and so far my son is fine too.

My family history has a problem with carrying big babies for absolutely NO reason.
My mother had all 5 of us kids big.
My sister Autumn was like a month or so premature and she was about 8 pounds! She was the smallest outta all of us. And my brother Timmy was 5 days overdue and he was 11 1/2 pounds! He was the largest out of all of us. My other sister Darcee was almost 9 pounds. I was 9.2 pounds. My youngest brother Damien was 10.6 pounds.

My daughter Ivy was 10lbs 13oz when she was born 8 days overdue.
I'm 32w5d right now with a boy and my measurement u/s yesterday showed that he's about 5lbs 3 oz right now and I'm measuring about 34w3d now.
I'm afraid I'm not gunna be able to get my VBAC that I've been wanting.
He's in position for L&D right now so I hope I'll get lucky enough that the u/s is making him seem bigger than he really is and I'll be able to have a successful vaginal birth.

I am about 30 weeks. The DR wants me to have an ultrasound on october 6. Which is a little strange. She delivered our other DDs. Of course she wants me to have another sugar test! It always comes back a little high after the one hour and then fine after the 3 hour. I just hate being poked so much. My 1st DD was 7lb 7oz and my second 8lb 6oz. So I keep thinking this one will be 9lb+! lol. I told my husband she probably wants me to have an ultrasound to see how big the baby is. I, myself, am expecting her to come at least 4 days before my due date. But I think if she's measuring big then maybe the Dr will want me to induce early. Idk
I am bumping into lots of stuff at work. I am always having to squeeze by people! My one coworker keeps saying are you sure you're only having one! lol.

Hi everyone, I'm glad it's not just me who's all over the place the now. I don't know how much the baby  weighs but s/he is very strong I can be sitting at work and out of no where hear myself going OUCH!! out loud and ppl looking at me like im nuts but the baby has just kicked me really hard lol it's a bit embarrassing - although I'd rather that than no kicks cos I worry when s/he has a quite day too!!

I'm 29+3 and I've put on nearly 3 stone. Before I was pregnant I was rather slim so I'm not used to all this extra weight is hard work lol!!! I forget somtimes and still try and squeeze by small spaces etc only to find myself stuck!  

Hazleyez my belly button has been popping out since week 14!! Its horrible lol!!!!!!!!

Thank to every1 xxx

we are having a big baby too!!! at 32 weeks she was almost 5lbs!!!!  we go back again today (i'm 33 weeks) to see her progression  (i get weekly biophysical profiles since i'm high risk, and those include ultrasounds with weight estimates) My belly is measuring 4 weeks ahead!!! while she is measuring almost 3 weeks ahead!  we are scheduled to be induced one week before our due date.... but she may even come earlier.. i think if we went full term she would be well over 10 lbs!! ouch!  but we are glad to see her bigger incase we had to go early for some reason!

At 30 weeks my lil' guy weighed 4.3 pounds!  He is 1 pound bigger than his time, but that's good b/c then I think he'll be one healthy baby!  Caz62, do u know how much your baby wieghs?
