Anyone showing already?

I'm only 5 weeks along but I would swear I'm already starting to show.  This will be my 3rd so maybe that has something to do with it.  So, is anyone else showing that's due in April and if so, what number baby is it? Or- do you know anyone that started showing that quick?

I am at 8 wks now with second baby - last MC's at 5 mos. We got preggers quickly after so I have the extra baby weight from the last one. I am showing and thankfully have skipped the fat stage and moved on to the stage where ppl can tell im preggers - kinda hard to hide it this time. oh well - I told my hubby when we conceived that I think its twins since I am sure I ovulated on both sides....he is excited for twins and I would be terrified as he is away alot with work.....fingers crossed for healthy baby though - thats all that matters in the end :)

I am so bloated!  I agree with Kamyrn2009, I did not know bloating until now. This is my first, and I am seven weeks, due April 1st.  My jeans are painful when I sit, but otherwise ok.  I am excited about the maternity clothes buying!

I believe its different for each woman. With first pregnancies it takes a little longer to start showing. I dont think there's a standard time, just when you cant button up your pants anymore or wearing them is just really uncomfortable. Some women do just buy bigger clothes but they might be too big around the legs or too baggy.(and a waste of money because eventually you'll need maternity clothes) I think once they just dont fit, its time for maternity clothes. =)

At 7w I feel extremely fat! The scale has moved up 2 lbs and I'm hoping thats water weight. I don't think I ever "REALLY" knew what bloating felt like till pregnancy. All my clothes still fit but I find jeans are tighter than the slacks I wear for work. I've never been pregnant....when do women usually resort to buying maternity clothes? Will there be an in-between stage where I have to buy bigger sized pants??

Im with lmk- I think I feel more bloated and fat rather than pregnant.(Even though Im only 3w4d lol) This will be my first baby but I carried my last pregnancy to 12 weeks. I think I did hear that the more children you have had, the earlier you will start to show because the uterus has already been stretched from the previous pregnancies. Well, when we do start to show, we can post pics of our baby bumps***

hi scotland2009

i am almost 6 weeks on my third aswell and i have to say my jeans are already starting to feel a bit uncomfortabke mostly when i am sitting down. they say at this stage it mostly just bloating rather than baby.  i cant imagine it will be too long before we pop out proper, they say it happens quicker with each pregnancy.  i really hate this stage when u just feel fat rather than pregnant lol. cant wait till i have my bump.
