When did everyone start showing with twins?

Hi ladies, I was wondering when everyone started showing with their twins. I know if you have had other children you show a lot sooner than later but this is my first (had 2 prior m/c in 1st trimester). Is there anyone else out there that had twins first? When did you start showing? I am a little over 11 weeks along and have a slight bump that I think just makes me look bloated. I wasnt sure if I should be having a big belly yet since there are two little ones growing inside me. Thanks for any info!!

Am just curious, right from the first day of conception, I have a stronger conviction that am carrying twins. Am in my seventh week, planning 2 go 4 Ultrasound in 12th week. I just can't seems 2 get my mind over this instinct... I pray my boys are growing healthly in me.

I'm 11 wks and have the same bloated belly look, but can still fit into my regular clothes.  I'm not sure it's the babies so much as all the food I've been eating to stave off the nausea since I'm much more bloated (and pregnant looking) by the end of the day!

I had to wear my maternity clothes at 8 weeks with my twins. I did have a baby girl before them though but I was back to my pre-pregnancy weight before I got pregnant.

Appt went well and the babies are looking great. It's crazy how fast they grow!! The only thing the Doc was concerned about was me going into pre-term labor. I'm only 12 weeks so I dont know how he can tell but i'm just praying for healthy babies. Thanks for all of the advice. You ladies rock!

Thanks so much for your help ladies!! My pre-pregnancy weight was 140 and I am 5'9. I do have the pudgy belly but not a full blown preggo belly yet. I am hoping because I am taller it is taking longer to "show". It just makes me worried a bit that maybe my pregnancy isnt progressing as well as your ladies did. I have my 12 week appt this afternoon and will let you know how things are going.

Good Morning!!
I'm on my first set of twins My last baby was 11 yr's ago so the Dr's have been saying that with the large gap between pregnancies that this will seem like my first pregnancy all over again. *yay* lol. ugh!!
At 10 weeks my work pants were feeling snug, by 11 weeks I was getting pretty creative and looping an elastic through the button hole on my pants and then hookingthe other end over the button, just to give me an extra inch or so on my pants. LOL. And by 12 weeks,,,I had to throw in the towel and grab my first pair of many, maternity pants.
I've noticed a huge difference with singletons and twin pregnancies. Singletons is a more gradual growth, where as with twins....I've been growing in Spurts, practically over night. lol.
Best of luck w/your pregnancy.
I'm presently 35 weeks along with twins (boy & girl)

with my first set of twins I could hide it until january (I was due in june 1st so I don;t know how many weeks that is) BUt "showing"  is such a relative term.  By the end of january you could tell I was preggo with my belly!

WIth the next set of twins - most people noticed in late July and I was due December 8th - but again "showing"  is relative.  In my work clothes at a seminar no one knew I was preggo in August.  But when I went to the gym each evening after the seminar it was obvious in my work out clothes)
I am 5 three and around 115 - I weighed 120 ish until I was about 20 weeks along
