Bump size please answer

I was huge with my first born measuring way over from 32 weeks. I'm now pregnant with number 2 and wondered if I'm expecting to get that big again or not? I'm at the same pre pregnancy weight 8.5 stone witch is 120lbs or 54kg whatever your preferred metric readings. I know you tend to show earlier with your second because your body's done it all before but I need to know of I'm going to be around the same size as I'm worried plus he was only 6lb so if this baby's 8lb what am I going to do! I was on crutches for the last month of my pregnancy because of my size and hips couldn't take it xx

I was 120 with my first I went to 150 she was 8'6. 140 with my second went to 189 she was 9lbs and with my third I was 160 went to 172 only gained 12lbs lbs and she was 9'9.. I guess it all ready depends on the person how they treat there bodies what they eat etc.. but I've heard that your babies always get a bit bigger..

Because of the pain medication I was on my sons growth stunnted with they never told me would happen that's why he was only 6lb3 they told me and 34 weeks he was going to be about 9lb! I like having a proper bump but just worries about getting as big as last time. When did you start showing second time round?xx
