at 21 weeks???
I dont have any pictures but I feel as though I have gotten HUGE in a couple weeks!!!! At my u/s monday, they were looking all the way up above my stomach, about an inch below my bra line. I thought that the uterus was only supposed to be at like the belly button level at 20 weeks??? And I even felt my son kick me up in that general area too. I wonder if it has something to do with the location of the placenta? It's on the left side, going vertically, and baby is on the right side going vertically. I dont know. I just feel like I am just HUGE! Granted I had pretty lax tummy muscles before and I had a bit of belly fat... but is it normal??? Oh and baby is measuring a bit large for dates, they put him at a week ahead of what they said (however I am keeping with my original due dates...) Anyone else feel/felt like this at 21 weeks??? It's not bad or anything I just wonder if its all in my head.
I feel huge too! lol but I was a big girl before so now I feel even bigger! as for the u/s I think that they get a better view by going above the baby and looking down (for like head measurements) b/c they did the same thing to me. I am short only 5'3 and I know the baby is not that high but they still looked up there! I think we all go through that period of "am I getting to big?" as long as your not gaining to much weight....then I say your OK!
I'm not quite as far as you but I feel gigantic these days. It is getting more and more difficult to put on my socks and shoes (another reason to go barefoot) and I keep bumping my belly into things becuse I forget how big it has gotten!
i rememeber around that time feeling huge, thou i knew i wasn't *that* big... i'm bigger now but don't feel huge... i think it might have to do with that around 20 weeks the bump has going big enough that it's gets in the way, but now i'm use to it being there

I feel like I've suddenly ballooned out, too!! It is a weird feeling seeing your body change like that, but exciting too, because I'm finally looking pregnant! I like how Queen Angie phrased it above.
I think one reason our stomachs are bigger/rounder up to the "below the chest area" (even though our uterus may not be that far up yet) is because some of our organs, etc, are shifting upwards in our bodies to make room for the baby. Pretty amazing stuff...
I was huge at 21 weeks. Right now at 31 weeks I'm as big as I was with ds full term. When I was pregnant with him I did not understand what everyone was talking about with pregnancy discomforts, I felt great! Now I really understand and people are looking at me like I'm going to pop any day now, lol.
How big were you....
