    It may feel horrible, but at least you're showing! I never showed til I was well over 20 weeks!

    Yes i was very bloated, i was bloated from 6 weeks so there was no chance of hiding it from anyone. By 12 weeks i had a defined belly bump. BUT by 15 weeks the bloating went away and i had nothing! LOL i worried but then i popped at 18 weeks and then just got bigger and bigger.

    Thanks for all the replies, it makes me feel alittle better.

    I can't tell anyone at work just yet so I must look strange suddenly changing to very baggy clothes and stretchy wasted skirts (as I seem to have a heat aversion as well)

    Sneaky, I got some skirts at Kmart, they aren't maternity ones but they are stretch, with a stretchy waist band. I can't live without them now!

    Severe bloating here too! Right up until I had a decent bump, around 18 weeks!

    yep, me too. Looked about 18 weeks at 6 weeks! But then i didn't really grow any more in the belly area until now, so that made it a little better! Couldn't stand waist bands etc from early on, made it impossible not to tell people and i'm not one to keep it a secret either lol Look perfectly "normal" now, tho we did wonder about twins too!
