    This is bub #6 and omg I look like I'm 5 months already lol. I'm 11 weeks today and have a very definite baby bump (photo in my album, not sure how to link it here) I really showed very early on, maybe even before I did the tests.

    I definitely showed earlier with DS2 than with DS1. The only problem with having a belly early is when you don't want to tell people yet.
    I was sure I looked sooooo pg the first time round, and wondered how everyone could be stupid enough not to notice. Now I look back at my 20 week photos and the belly is so small. There is no way I would ask anyone who looked like that if they were pregnant! lol.
    With DS2 I was as big at 12 weeks as I was at 20 weeks the first time. Didn't get any bigger overall though.
    This time I am bloated more than the first 2 times, but it isn't a pg belly yet... some days it is there and others it isn't. I just choose my clothes appropriately. Can't wait to have a 'real' belly though. I loved my belly!!

    Pumpkin - firstly congratulations. I must have missed your announcement or not stalked the TTC thread at the right time. I'm so happy for you.

    I started getting a little belly from about 6 weeks. By about 9-10 weeks I wasn't fitting my pants and had to wear a waist band extender. By 12 weeks I started wearing maternity pants.

    Today a client came into my work and said "WOAH are you sure you're not having twins???? Wow, you are HUGE...Gosh it's going to be a big one...." went on and on, made a huge deal about it infront of everybody!
    Grr... makes me so mad!
    I didnt have a real obvious bump til about 20 weeks... I am 29 weeks now, still in my size 10 jeans, still wearing my usual clothes. I've put on 6 kilos so far my whole pregnancy.
    I eat whatever I like, good and bad....I am proud of how i'm carrying! I am grateful. None of my relatives put on less than 30 kilos in their pregnancy. That's what I was dreading, but expecting...
    Why can't people keep their mouth shut. Grrr.
