I think it's intestinal bloating :)


Phew!]]> Fri, 07 Mar 2008 12:52:41 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15081&PID=320039&title=belly-expansion#320039 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15081&PID=319846&title=belly-expansion#319846 Author: gemsmum

Oddly enough I'm much smaller with this (my third) than I was with ds. I think with ds I popped straight out cos it was only 9 months since I had had dd (and she was nearly 4kg so my tummy muscles were well stretched!). I'm also eating much less junk and suffering much more with indigestion so not eating as much as normal fullstop!!! And yes, I am managing to panic myself silly cos I'm not huge yet! We can't win - we panic whatever way it goes. ]]> Fri, 07 Mar 2008 07:57:55 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15081&PID=319846&title=belly-expansion#319846 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15081&PID=319603&title=belly-expansion#319603 Author: busymum

I was smaller when I conceived Briona than with Hannah. I showed at about the same. With Kryssi I showed much earlier, even though the baby is still quite tiny there's a lot of other things going on in there and your uterus will be expanding a lot already.]]> Thu, 06 Mar 2008 19:17:46 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15081&PID=319603&title=belly-expansion#319603 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15081&PID=319361&title=belly-expansion#319361 Author: FionaS

Maybe it is just IBS.... ]]> Thu, 06 Mar 2008 12:12:31 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15081&PID=319361&title=belly-expansion#319361 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15081&PID=319340&title=belly-expansion#319340 Author: fattartsrock

I didn't have rock hard abs, lol, but was quite alot smaller than I had been pre Jake. When I got preg with Char, I was in maternity pants at 7 weeks..... and fully in maternity clothes at about 9 weeks....]]> Thu, 06 Mar 2008 11:49:02 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15081&PID=319340&title=belly-expansion#319340 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15081&PID=319285&title=belly-expansion#319285 Author: mamawendz

Not sure if it will go down, but yeah, we tend to show earlier with the second etc pregnancies as your body has already been through the whole "stretching" thing.

Good on you for getting those abs back after Elle though! Hope you can achieve it again - sure you will. ]]> Thu, 06 Mar 2008 10:48:22 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15081&PID=319285&title=belly-expansion#319285 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15081&PID=319276&title=belly-expansion#319276 Author: FionaS

I've heard the theory that you show earlier with your second pregnancy but I made a concerted effort to get my abs back after I had Elle and (sorry to say) my tummy was essentially the same after her as before her (sorry).

Now, at only 5 weeks my tummy is bloated and my pants are uncomfe...they fit but they feel too tight!!! I keep having to go to the bathroom to undo them for a bit!!!

Do you think it is just temporary swelling from fluid / hormones? I mean, the baby is the size of pinhead so shouldn't be causing this! Maybe it'll settle down again before the bump starts to grow? I can't suck it in so can't hide it!!!!!!!

I didn't show at all until after 16 weeks, if not 20 with Elle although I put on some weight before then.]]> Thu, 06 Mar 2008 10:41:57 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15081&PID=319276&title=belly-expansion#319276
