hi there there is no need to worry it could be a few reasons if your 2nd baby then your ligaments are already stretched so bump will get bigger quicker also you could be carrying lots of water which i do thats why im so big so quick people say i look 30 weeks not 19 youll have your annomoly scan in a few weeks so they shall tell more dont worry bout forking out for private scans unless u was getting one anyway good luck and keep us posted mum of 3 and 19 week bump x

Hi dont mean to worry you both but having a large bump and excess water could mean that you might have gestational diabetes (which i have) i have it under conrol which means my bump is'nt massive now as my first pregnancy and also myself i was HUGE with my first pregancy i had swelling where i did'nt even know i could have lol.. anyway best of luck to you both :)
