Large bump second pregnancy

For context I'm on second pregnancy first was born August 2024.

​

This past week I have felt massive and I know second pregnancy seems to be bigger as the body is ready etc but this is ridiculous, I looked at photos from being induced at 42 weeks with my last and I'm the same size if not bigger and she was born 8lb 2 weeks late.

​

Saw my midwife today and she said she was shocked at how big I looked as I barely had a bump last time she saw me at 15 weeks. She measured my belly and it was 35.5 so was way off the chart for 28+2weeks. She's booked me for a growth scan next week and she felt my belly and said it does feel quite full as opposed to being fluid.

​

Has anyone had this before, what should I be expecting? I feel like I'm a day away from birth 😅
