:wave: hi everyone x

Just wondered how many weeks you were when you started showing :think: ?

When i got pregnant with my first i didnt start showing till i was 17 weeks, my 2nd 14 weeks and with my 3rd 12weeks, do you think women who have children before its possible to show early and if so how early can you start showing????

Just being nosey and apart from being bloated im starting to notice my tum looking slightly rounder which is scaring me as im only 5weeks.....HELP ADVISE OR REASSURRANCE NEEDED.

:lol: :lol: , :? :? xx

i'm sure i've heard that with your 2nd, 3rd, 4th etc you show quicker because your tummy muscles have alread been stretched before :hug: don't worry :hug:
 
yep i didnt show til about 20wks wiv summer
 
Yes with subsequent kids you show earlier as your muscles never return to their pre pregnancy state, they are always slightly stretched :lol:

I haven't really started 'showing' yet but I have certainly been very bloated...

For comparison: 6 weeks: 9weeks

I know it's all bloat and that but it's been growing regularly (I'm taking pics every week :oops:)... :?

my 1st was 17 weeks ,
but def this time round is different im bloated and my tummy def looks rounder and im 5weeks x
 
Well, my jeans stopped fitting at around 7 weeks, although to look at me its just fat. Although I've lost weight since the start of the year, so guess its everything getting ready for the baby moving up.
 
My tum was looking rounder (ok ok flabbier) before I even found out I was pg.

I'm 14 weeks on Tuesday and I look pretty big, I'm not happy about it! Think alot of it is still bloating...I have a 5 mile exclusion zone set up by my hubby as he thinks I'm toxic at the minute (I have to agree though)....just hoping im not in for another whopper baby...9 6.5 was more than big enough last time (and shoulder dystosia in the mix). By the end even most maternity tops wouldn't cover my bump.
saw the pics of that octuplet mum in the paper the other day before she gave birth. Made me feel alot better!!!

:lol: this is my first! third pregnancy but neither of those made it to 5 weeks so this is my first 'bump'

it really is just bloating at the mo but it's been growing so steadily and consistently that I have the feeling the bloat won't subside before the baby is making that bulge :lol:

I quite like it though, I pretend it's all baby although I do feel like a heifer in swimwear :oops:

Maybe I just have really weak abs...?

I'm sure a lot of it is constipation with me as well... Although it never seems to go down after a trip to the loo so who knows...

I don't feel like I've gained much weight elsewhere (usually my thighs are the first place it shows!) so maybe it is a real bump!

I know most people start properly 'showing' at 16 ish weeks don't they?
