Im with you all the way here. I am about 8 1\2 weeks now and on my fifth pg. I havent gained any weight yet but i swear i look like i am 3m along.I know you are supost to show sooner with each pg but i didnt expect quite this soon either.

Because this is your 4th pregnancy it is normal to show early due to your muscles already being stretched. I am 32 and on my 5th pregnancy and am only 14 weeks but look like I'm about 7 months, and I physically feel further along than I am, but the Dr says its normal because its my 5th. Best of luck to you, hang in there!!

Yea I was wondering If it could be possible to show earlier because I'm on my fourth kid! I gained three pounds so far and I'm not an over wieght person. .I'm 5/3..and started off at 120lbs...amyway. could be bloat!
