I was really showing at my first scan,  at my second scan people was saying not long now you look like you're dropped errrm am only 20wks I said mortified cos you get tired of people saying how massive you are ,I'm now 28+5days pregnant my belly just seems alot more rounder and solid yet I still get the your so big sure they didn't miss a baby on scan and your having twins,  so I'd say yes your body seems to progress the pregnancy more quicker getting earlier signs as it already knows what's going on I've gained 23lbs never before have I put on that much to say as well I've hardly eaten what I should be as I've suffered sickness and bloating so bad so it's been impossible to eat the right amount of calories, yet my midwife don't seem worried about my weight gain nor does my obgyn, i am set however to have a bigger baby this time than my last two babies strange huh,  also I tend to think the slimer you are before pregnancy the more weight you tend to gain and cos people ain't used to seeing you bigger they think your mamonth giving us pregnant women a bloody complex,i know asap after birth if all  is well I'm hitting the gym haha as my body hurts carrying all this weight ankles feeling like they gonna snap, sorry to the bigger fuller lady but me personally don't know how they carry the weight X

I lost 16 to start and gained less than 4 back. This is my third, so far healthy, pregnancy and I'm 17w5d. That was at my last doctors appointment though so I may have gained more now. I'm thicker to start so I'm hoping to only really gain what the baby takes up. With my son, I gained like 50lbs. Then the depo after, ballooned me up another 70lbs in three months without changing my eating habits but I have HORRIBLE luck with birth control. I get the poopy side effects. I didn't gain a thing with my daughter because I was really sick with her pregnancy. I lost about 80lbs total with the 15 i dropped the start of this pregnancy but now I expect to go up obviously!

This is my second and I eat healthier this time i am mid way thru my 36wk and ive gained 46 lbs. I have now exceeded the weight I was when I had my first. Its a little scary. But breast feeding will hopefully help me lose it.

This is my 3rd as well and I'm only 10 weeks and my belly is already bulging out. Not sure if it's bloating or the baby.
