Hehe, i prefer to think of  it that way rather than "baby elephant" which is the phrase of choice of my partner!

Im on #3, i thought i was huge last week (6 wks) but i seem to have shrunk a bit now, maybe was just the water retention! I think as you have more children your body just "assumes the position"!

I'm having baby number 2 and started to sport a little bump around 8 or 9 weeks. It was super obvious to me, but not so obvious to others (unless they knew my body/me). Whether its from the uterus or bloating I don't know, but you definitely 'pop' earlier when it's not your first. :)

I'm on number 4 and showing at 6-8 weeks. I had baby number 3 in January and over the summer I lost 40 lbs then ended up pregnant again and I'm showing and only 6-8 weeks I guess cuz my body never returned to completely normal after the 3rd one cuz its only been 10 months. Some people say its not possible but anything is possible and I'm def showing. Best of luck

I started showing way early with number 3 around 10 weeks so sounds normal to me.
