Am I too big?

Anyone else look like 8 months pregnant at 6 months? I feel huge. People always think I'm having twins. Also don't know if I'm gaining too much weight. Started the pregnancy at 24 lbs and now I'm up to 143.

I dnt kno y ppl feel the need to give their opinion on how big or small u look. They should already kno ur height, weight, shape, etc will play a role in how u "show". Most say I'm big,a few say I'm small. Really idgaf. Lol I started at 129 & I'm now 153 at 24 wks. Bt I'm short 5'4 have a long torso & 129 is slim. I dnt kno where the weight is bc I dnt look thick at all. I kno I'll probably hit 180 or close to it by the time I deliver & I dnt care. I eat well.

You aren't alone-Im 25w 5d and have gained 20, and people ask all the time if I'm sure there aren't 2 babies in there. This is baby #3 so I started showing really early too. Im sorry you're going through that too-people can be so rude. I feel huge as well and can't imagine how I'll look by the end, but the end result will be worth it!

I still haven't gained any weight. But it's okay because I'm already over weight. I originally lost 10lbs and am still gaining it back. So far I've gained 7lbs back. My doctor thinks I'll only gain between 5 and 10lbs with this pregnancy. I only gained 8 with my first son.

19 lbs at six month is not too much. It's probably how ur carrying but still just continue to eat healthy n don't over do it on junk.

People will always have their opinions but remember the general public has a very media specific idea of what a woman should look like prego and every woman is different you guys really parents gained that badly and as long as your doc isn't concerned about size or weight then you're fine. I'm 27&2 and I'm at 180 started at 145/150ish but people tell me i don't look like I'm as far along as I am...

It's comforting to know im not alone. I just feel super insecure. I've had at least 4 people comment on how they think the doctor got my due date wrong this week.
