    Showing really early

    Hi All

    I have four kids under 12 and
    I am pregnant with baby no 5 and due in july. I am only nine weeks pregnant but I cant believe how much i am showing (i look about 4 mths) and I starting showing at 6 wks. Has this happen to anyone else or is it because its the fifth baby. Have just started to feel that real heaviness in my thighs that seems to happen in pregnancy.
    omg i am wearing maternity clothes already beached whale here i come ha

    I was the same and it was my first pregnancy, I had to go out and buy maternity pants at around about 10 weeks because nothing would fit and the belly belt just wasn't working for me anymore (all my tops were getting too short and showing it). I wouldn't worry too much, it just makes it hard to keep it quiet till the 12 week mark.

    I'll be 9 weeks tomorrow with my first baby and I think I'm already showing too. I had bloating for quite a while but that seems to have died down.

    I just wear the one pair of jeans now (they are the only one's that fit!) and pj pants

    I'm 15 weeks pregnant with number 2 & I look about 6 months, not almost 4!!

    I've been showing from very early on - I think some bodies are just that way inclined

    I can tell you I don't look like the ladies in my pregnancy books at 15 weeks

    I showed a lot earlier with this one and I'm only on number 2.... I think if we have anymore I'll be HUGE by half way, I think I'm huge already now!

    I showed earlier with my second DD than my first too. I felt like a whale by 10 weeks but no one else seemed to notice! But I didn't end up as big at the end of the pregnancy as I was first time around either

    I'm 6 weeks and had two people at playgroup (that know I'm pregnant) mention it, I thought it was all in my head! That said, with my second pregnancy I was definitely showing by 8 weeks. Lucky I don't try to keep it a secret until 12 weeks

    I'm pg with bub 1, currently about 13weeks, but by 6weeks I couldn't fit into my jeans anymore... I only have a couple of pair of pants that fit me, so will be looking at maternity REALLY soon! People have commented the last 1-2weeks that i'm 'showing' but i'm guessing around 12weeks would be fairly 'normal'?? but i've kinda felt like I was showing from about 4weeks ago...

    I am 9 weeks pregnant now with my first baby and i have popped out to the point where you can see that something has changed. I had become very paranoid as most women i kn0w didnt show till later stages, although i am maintaining a healthy eating habit, i am not using the eating for two excuse, as i would like to try and regain a normal body asap after giving birth, fingers crossed anyway.

    Hahahahahahhaha B

    Can't wait to start showing, I'm at 8 and a half weeks and I'm not showing in the slightest, I'm guessing I'll pop around 13 weeks. I've heard that people try to touch your belly all of the time when you start to show. Does this really happen? If so I might need to set some ground rules
