5th pregnancy n 6 weeks

[maddy3983]

I just found out that I am 6 weeks with my 5th child. I currently have 4 boys and I'm kinda in shock. This was not planned at all. I don't know if its in my head or what but I feel like I'm showing already. I am trying to keep this one quiet til I start showing cuz I can already hear the rude comments. But has anyone else had 5 kids and do u show faster sooner? My youngest is 5 so kinda forgot what its like to be pregnant.

Thank you all for the comments. Yes ppl do like to focus on other to ignore or hide own insecurities and issues... the father doesnt really want to tell anyone either just in fear we might lose it. I'm excited and was hoping for a girl but if a boy then either way I'm still excited. Yeah when I start to show then they can all say what they want behind my back n gossip n what not cuz I'm happy n I wanna enjoy this pregnancy cuz its so much different already from before. :-) thank you

I'm preg with number 5. I've already got 4 girls and this one is my first boy.

I didn't tell anyone I was preg for months even though I was showing at 20 weeks easily. I didn't even tell the dad as we had split up. I felt ppl would gossip, and they did.

I got fed up of ppl rambling on about who the dad was as no one knew. I had one woman going around asking married men if they knew, she even insinuated it was someone else's guy!!! I had bitchy women at the school gates speculating, even now!!!

I couldn't hide my bump no matter how big my clothes were so I gave up when summer came. I showed off my bump, left the women gossiping and focused on my growing bump. Most ppl, even ppl I don't know love my bump and I have lots of ppl speaking to me LOL

I'm now 38+5, the women are still gossiping, I say its jealousy and its flattering how I consume so much of their time ;) I finally spoke to the dad, he walks past me every day and his face was class when I told him of his unborn son LOL

Ppl will gossip regardless, it distracts them from their own insecurities...pathetic.

Just wear your bump with pride and one finger salute those who judge LOL don't get feeling bothered of what ppl say, they are gonna be rude no matter what, and not just about you.

Enjoy and good luck x x

I have only told my partner and my sister and his sister and that is it. I don't want anyone to know as I do know they will say things like another one or damn again. But in all reality I guess I shouldn't care because its my body n my life and I raise my kids... its just the damn hormones and I keep having highs and lows with emotions... thanks so much for listening...

I am expecting baby #5. We have children aged 6,4,2,1. Our '2' is an angel who passed at full term. With having babies in 07,09,11,12 and will be 2013 i swear people have just been waiting to hear of another. Thankfully we get way more congrats than judgement. I am currently 13 weeks and those who know me well can tell but i think i have another few weeks before the rest will catch on!

Mine is too but I have concluded that its just bloating. But I feel bigger n my clothes r kind of snug so now I am wearing sweats in the summer lol cuz I have no clothes that will fit except sweats at the moment. I just hope I don't get too big with this one. My heaviest child was 10lbs 5oz and 22 1/2in. One big kid so I am trying to change eating habits n start exercising early :-)

Same here 6 weeks and the top of my tummys rounding.

Thank you for all the comments. Yeah I am thinkinv alot has to do with the bloating. The joys of being pregnant :-)... yes ppl where I live always have their rude comments but ur right it ismy life and my kids and I take care of my kids very well n don't depend on anyone so thank u for that extra boost of confidence. Having major mood swings. I am very excited. I am hoping for a girl this time as I have all boys now. Think it would be a total and wonderful change.

Yes I am pregnant with my 6th and show extremely early now. Started showing really early once I was on my third and each time its still a little earlier. This time I think i was showing by 12 weeks where it was noticable. :/ yikes!

Congratulations! If people don't like that you're having another child that's their problem. So would you be hoping for a girl or another boy?  

Its bloating because your uterus has barely grown at this point and is still well below your pubic bone. Unless you're further than you think :)

I have 4 boys (ages 11 years to 18 months) now I am expecting a girl. :) I got a lot of the "do you know what causes that yet?" when ppl found out. But oh well. It's not their lives. I was showing at around 12 weeks this time. By 9 none of my jeans fit. Congrats!

First of all congrats to u, i would not bother about any rude comments u think ppl might make. Its ur life and theyre your kids so dont let people put u off. Lots of people want more than a couple of kids. Its ur baby and its ur childrens baby brother or sister who will be loved the same as the rest of them so dont let people put u off. Im 30+w with my second boy but lost 2 babies inbetween. My oldest is also 5.  Im not sure u would show at 6weeks but maybe its just bloating like ur body telling u ur pregnant. Good luck hope all goes well and be happy :-)
