Congrratulations!

I hope all goes well for you.

I won't hazard a guess as to how long she is in to her pregnancy ....... I was one who "carried all before her".

At 6 months, someone thought I was due the next week, I was so big.

It was just a 7lb baby girl, and not much weight gain

She looks bigger than I was at 9 mths. The week before my daughter was born, people asked me if I had a boy or girl.

She was on time and weighed 5lbs 12 1/2 oz.

Thank you.

Yes it’s deceiving with bumps. I’ve only just started to ‘pop’

People think she looks like she is due May time but who knows. I’ve been told girls are usually not as big as boys when they are born

Jerseygirl

I was told it was because I didn’t have lot of fluid. My daughter was enormous when she was pregnant...her daughter was the same weight 5lb 12 1/2 ozs. I guess she was carrying a lot of fluid.

I was big from about 4-5 weeks, waist enlarged, had to buy larger size clothes at 2 months, into maternity at 3 months!

Yet I was very slim back in those days!

Congrats!! Do keep us updated... I love to hear about BE babies - I've followed you from arriving on an IEC and your journey continues now in new exciting ways! Hope all goes well..

I was told boys show 'out front and girls show 'all around' - which was the case for me, from behind you wouldn't have known I was pregnant.. but I had a sizeable bump at the front at 5 months..

scilly

I was also told that, and I certainly showed out front .......... yet I had a girl!

Congratulations, Beckiwoo.

As for baby bumps, first pregnancy gained all of 14 lbs and gave birth to a healthy 6 lb 1 oz baby girl. Came home weighing the same as I weighed the day I got pregnant. Never wore maternity clothes.

There's an internet theory that Meghan wasn't pregnant the first time round. Used a fake belly and a surrogate.

Thank you Siouxie!! I will keep you posted

Thank you

bats

Congratulations, have a happy and healthy pregnancy.

Siouxie

She had a miscarriage in July, according to The Guardian (and several other sites, reported in the NY Times, the BBC etc.,)
although apparently it wasn't reported until November... so she could be considerably further along.

I read somewhere last night that the new baby was due around the time of Prince Philip's birthday ...... which is in early June.

that is around 4 months from now.

bats

gosh, you post after I edited mine still contained what I had deleted.

yes I read somewhere else that it earlier than September so deleted that part. Still wanted to wend congratulations to Becki tho.
