I am only a little over 6 weeks already got a pooch going on. I seriously look about 10 or so weeks. I keep joking with DH that there has got to be twins in there because of my stomach. Has this been the same with everyone else, or is my body just hating me right now. I am not sure how I can't hide this for another 6 weeks!
That's how I felt with my 3rd! I started showing as soon as the sperm hit the egg lol! I thought for sure twins but it was only 1 little guy! This is now my 4th pregnancy and I'm 10 weeks and not really showing much, maybe it is a 3rd baby thing!
That's crazy! I am hoping I stop growing for a bit or I am going to be huge by the end of this!
I was gigantic from day dot with both my boys.. This is #3 and I'm 16.5 weeks and people keep telling me they didn't even notice a belly. I'm hoping it just means it's a girl.. Haha.
See I was opposite with my boys. Took me forever to show. This baby i am carrying much higher. I am able to button my pants just fine, but then on top theres my little belly!
I hear that happens with the 3rd. I gained so much with my boys, and I am starting out a little heavier than I did with them (healthy though as I was a little underweight when conceived them) that I hope I don't look even more huge. haha all worth it for a healthy baby though...
I have a friend who is 8 weeks less pregnant than me. She is on number 5 and I am on number 4. Both single babies.
I am currently 26 weeks and still wearing my normal clothes and baggy tops. Some people are just starting to notice but mostly not.
My friend's bump was obvious from 6 weeks. At 18 weeks you would think she was about to drop, she is huge.
The size of your bump means very little at this stage, its fat and organs pushing up. If you consider the size of a foetus at that stage, twins makes very little difference size wise until the second trimester.
Good luck!
I was showing waaay quicker this time and it's only my second. By 8 weeks we had to start telling family because they were noticing. At Christmas time I was OBVIOUSLY pregnant and with DS1 I didn't even have a bump at that time. I noticed its slowed down a bit now, but at 27 weeks, I'd say I'm about as big as I was at like 32-34 weeks with DS1. So I'm not quite sure what I will look like at 34 weeks this time LOL but it makes me nervous hehe!
With my first I was flat till 7 months with my second around 4 1/2 months with third 3 months with this one 4th like immediately I am a flipping cow! So not looking forward to being preg on the summer :s
I think my bump is mainly bloating not fat and organs. when I got pregnant this time I was only 117lbs at 5'6''. So mine is definitely far from fat.I was looking online and they said the huge rise in proestrogen will cause the bloating.Quote:

well i've had a bump since 8 weeks thought it was a 3rd baby thing and going for so long on le to being able to eat again but it's twins lol!
I started showing quickly this time too!!! Its my third....I'm 12 weeks and I look 4-5 months easily!
3rd baby here and I showed early this time too. She is very high and I couldnt hide it at all early on! My DS1 was similar in that I showed early too. DS2 I wasnt big until around 20 weeks and then I was huge lol

My bump hasn't reached my boobs yet so I can still hide it.
Don't you hate it when everyone comments on your bump, either its too small or too big.
Thank you!! I have been laying low since its the first trimester! I didn't even know you were having twins! Were you on clomid? I keep thinking about twins since I am showing so early but they don't run in my family and I wasn't on clomid so I know that its not. Congratulations!!! :)Quote:

We shall see! I can't wait for you to find out. I was following your thread and how you weren't able to because the baby wasn't cooperating.
Haha yeah... That was pretty annoying. :( I go again in 2 weeks. Feels like forever, but I guess it'll go fast. :)
I will be looking for an update!!
I felt exactly like that this time around!!!I thought i was wack for feeling like i looked that way. (its my 3rd baby, 4th pregnancy). ...i have to admit im relieved to hear im not psycho after all haha.
by the sounds of the other replies, it must be quite normal!
