    DD2 ppl were asking me if i was at 10 weeks.
    this time though i had the major bloating from 4-7ish weeks and it all calmed down and i def dont have a smidge of a bump atm. (and im about 10kgs lighter than last time too!)

    Definitely started showing sooner third time round, but as the others said it settled down (was probably just a lot of bloating and wind!) I'm now around 14 weeks and have a bit of a bump but still haven't put any weight on yet, with my first two I didn't even look pregnant till I was about 25 weeks! So it's kind of nice to actually look pregnant! My body is definitely remembering what to do

    Definitely popped out quicker with #2. I went back to work still keeping the pregnancy under wraps and had to wear some very baggy tops to cover it up.

    I went around 18 weeks with Charlotte, this time, have a pot already lol Since about last week, so a full 6 weeks earlier.
    (Although I am heavier than I was with Charlotte, but I can't suck it in as far anymore ) I can certainly feel it laying on my tummy this week.

    Yarp, sure did! Popped out really early, which I found surprising as my first pg I was a skinny little bean so there wasn't a lot of room for hiding a growing belly, I didn't lose all the baby weight before conceiving DD2 and couldn't figure out why I had an obvious baby bump (not just something that could be mistaken for being out of shape!) so early when I assumed it would be hiding under all the extra flab for a while longer!

    :yeahthat:
    I had the MIL ask if I was pregnant and I wasn't that far along ... 12 weeks maybe? And it was all baby bump, I gained weight late with #3. With #2 I gained it early so the baby was just one bump among many.

    Yep for sure, but my core muscles are shot! I guess 3 kids in 3 yrs does that! But I was also heavier than the other two from the get go. I'm barely 16wks and I look like I could be 6mths or more!
