Is it true, do you think, that with the more pregnancies you have the faster you show? I am on preg #5 and only about 7 weeks and feel like I am puffing out already!! Is it in my head? ↓

| Hey, I'm only on baby #2 and about 7 1/2 weeks and I'm really puffy too. Having a hard time buttoning my pants, but it gets really bad at night, I get so bloated I look like I'm 5 or 6 months along, then in the morning it goes down, but definitely have the pooch already. When did you show with your others? Was it pretty early? I'm just curious, I'm afraid I may be in maternity clothes before 4 months. With my first one, I didn't need them till almost 7 months, and didn't feel or look like this yet. ↑ |

| Yes same here at night i really look pregnant LOL I guess like what you said being bloated and such. With #1 I was about 3 months and showing ( I was very skinny to start with and totally took advantage of being pregnant and eating everything i could lol) And honestly I dont recall how far I was with the others. I would have to look in the books .. my memory is shot! LOL ↑ |

| Kids do that to you, but they are so worth it aren't they?! I had a really flat belly too and was in great shape, I had just gotten married a month before I got pregnant, to the day! This time I haven't toned my tummy, so I guess I can understand some, but it seems so early. My husband was staring at me the other night and he was like, oh, you are so having twins! He's so sure about it, and a little freaked out. Poor guy, twins don't run in any of our family that we know of, I'm pretty sure it's not, but my belly looks huge at night, and it's still sticking out some during the day. Definitely look pregnant all of the time. I'm just trying to wear loose clothes till I tell everyone, who knows, I may be in maternity clothes at 3 months at teh rate I'm going. ↑ |

| I know I'm bloated, but with a second baby or any after that your muscles are looser. My pooch is really hard, not soft and puffy, which makes me think it's not all bloating, but I know most of the belly at night is bloating. Some people show way early, and I called my Dr to ask about the bloating. She laughed at me and asked if I did lots of sit ups after my son, then told me must not have been enough, she said it's pretty common to get that pooch early. ↑ |

| Ok Just looked thru my books lol I started to get puffy at 6 weeks with #3 and at 9 weeks I looked 5 mo pregnant. I do believe now tht i look back at those pictures you can show early like that. I weighed roughly 130 lbs and am 5'5 so not overweight at all with #3 and serious at 9 weeks I looked 5 mo preggo. So this time around #5 I started my weight with 135 and still 5'5 still not overweight and puffy. So it is possible LOL and yes we are all puffy!! LOL :) ↑ |

| Oh, that's so cute that you have pictures of that! We didn't think to do that with our first, don't have many pictures till I got really big at the end, then I was huge! I'm not overweight either, but I guess I should have toned my tummy more, can't do much now though, in another month or so it will be fine, just want to make it through the first trimester without looking to pregnant, till I know I'm safe and in the second trimester. My Dr. won't see me till 12 weeks anyway, so I want to make sure all is okayt first! ↑ |

| In all my pregnancies I was sp excited to show. I even started wearing maternity clothes before I needed them. But yes I did show a little sooner with each one I have four now. My frusteration is trying to lose the weight afterwards ↑ |

| With #4 I was sure it would be my last so I took monthly pics every month same day every time lol just so I could capture the moment and do a really good baby book LOL Well I think I ended up doing 1 really good baby book (Baby #1) and the rest well.. I am just too busy to keep up LOL But def taking pictures.. one day when time allows it I will get those books together LOL ↑ |

| I showed really early with my second one... I was about 2 weeks (actually 4 weeks counting the two weeks from the LMP- I only count from the day of conception). ↑ |

| Really? I thought you would show much earlier, and I do understand that there's some bloating involved, but I definitely look pregnant and am not quite 8 weeks yet. Thanks gals, makes me feel better that it's not just me. ↑ |
