How Much Bigger??

[BTS1022]

Okay I know I usually don't post this much unless its giving advice/opinions, but today has been one hell of a day for me lol. I have been curious about this for a while now, and my doc who is usually very honest and insightful just tells me the same thing over and over....I will grow until I pop Conner out lol.

I literally feel like a beached whale lol, I am 27 weeks almost 28 weeks and im measuring out at 32 weeks. Honestly how much bigger am I going to get?? I was pretty big with my youngest son, mainly because I had a lot of amniotic fluid, but im way bigger now than what I was with Aiden. Will I stop growing when my belly measures 40 weeks? Or will I just keep growing and growing until I either POP out of my own skin, or deliver Conner lol?

I know I dont have extra amniotic fluid with this baby because they checked via ultrasound, but why am I so big if Conner is measuring behind? Im so lost, any info or insight would be awesome!

Oh yeah.....I now have a double chin lol.

You can expect your belly to expand by at "least" 1cm a week, and to gain "about" 1 pound/week, from this point onwards.  I say at  "least" and "about" because that is the "average" growth of fundal height and typical weight gain, respectively, at this time of pregnancy.  However, if you consume too many calories or are retaining water then you values will likely be above these average numbers even if Connor is measuring on track or behind.

I believe your doctor IS being honest with you in his reply that you will keep getting bigger until you have Connor.  Also, there is no way of predicting how big you will get.  All that is certain is you will continue to get bigger as your pregnancy progresses.

Im due Oct 14th which makes us really close lol. No my baby isn't measuring big which is why im baffled. He is actually measuring 2 weeks behind my due date and my measurements. I just want my body back lol, and I cant see me measuring at like 45 weeks when im actually 30 lol. Sometimes I wonder what I got myself into lol.
