NCJessieRN Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 I'm only 10 wks and I've been showing since wk 8! I know this is # 5 but it seems way too early! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChristusG Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Not #5, but I'm pregnant with #3. It's ridiculous how early I'm showing. My pants began getting snug at 9 weeks and I began wearing maternity pants at 10 weeks. I'm now 13 weeks and I have a very noticeable bump. It's crazy! With #1 I didn't begin showing until after 20 weeks. I know that with each baby you show sooner, but this is ridiculous! People probably think I'm about 6 months along. :001_huh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pretty in Pink Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 I couldn't button my jeans past 10 weeks this time. I'm now 15w 1d and I look more like 5 months pregnant. I've never shown this early before, not even with no. 4, but I've only gained 1 pound. It's ridiculous! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCJessieRN Posted April 25, 2011 Author Share Posted April 25, 2011 Thank you for making me feel "normal". I don't remember showing this early with #4! I have a picture of me with #3 at 5 months and I'm only a little bigger then than I am now:confused: I have gained 2lbs but it looks more like 10! Oh well. After 3 mc, I'm so excited to be pregnant so if I have to look huge the entire pregnancy it will be worth it for a healthy baby! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tohru Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 17 weeks and I'm pouching out the same as when I was 6mo along with both my other two. Honestly I think it's because I have a bit more belly fat and that's what is making me look farther along. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veritaserum Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Bloating put me into maternity pants at 6 weeks, but I had a baby bump by 12 weeks. It wasn't much different from my other pregnancies in that regard. My sister doesn't show until 6 months and that held true with baby 5 as well.

UnsinkableKristen Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Ditto to the above - bloating had me "showing" at 6 - 10 weeks with baby #3 and #4. I felt like I was in maternity pants the second I took the test!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pfamilygal Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Um, as soon as I peed on the stick? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sophia Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Um, as soon as I peed on the stick? yep. And since #6 was conceived when #5 was 7 mos. old...I seem to remember just keeping my maternity clothes out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaKinVA Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 I was past 12 weeks when I started showing with #5. Maybe I was still in denial... lol Of course, I was 8 mos. preggers with #1 and wearing maternity clothes, couldn't tie my own shoes huge, and when our Sunday School class announced my baby shower people came up to me and said, "I didn't know you were pregnant." That went over well... NOT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaylk in tx Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 at about 6 weeks i was pulling out the fat clothes... you know, not maternity yet but very stretchy and forgiving pants with large roomy shirts. of course when i went in for my first dr appt he did an ultrasound and found #4 and #5! :svengo: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myfunnybunch Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 I think I started showing about the time I said to dh, "Maybe we should have one more." :tongue_smilie: Cat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandi in Ohio Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Um, as soon as I peed on the stick? Yep...I almost wonder should I pee on the stick or is the baby bump enough proof? LOL! Mandi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6packofun Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Um, by the time I drove to the store for the pregnancy test?? LOL!! Seriously, though, by babies number 4+ I could tell that my pants were tight by 8 weeks--and I *felt* different even before that (as pregnant ladies often do). :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KidsHappen Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Yep...I almost wonder should I pee on the stick or is the baby bump enough proof? LOL! Mandi Baby bump is not enough proof. You need an acutal hormonal test. I was still breast feeding previous child with two of the children so I was still showing from the last time when I got pregnant with the new one. Otherwise around 12 weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cupajoe Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 I'm currently 10 wks pregnant with #5 and I can no longer button ANY of my pants...not even close! I've resorted to wearing belly bands each day to hide my unbuttoned jeans. I really, really don't want to wear maternity clothes just yet...but I *definitely* have a sizeable baby bump already.

amy g. Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 About 6 weeks. My midwife said it was just hormonal bloating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pfamilygal Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Try going to the Dollar Tree and buying 20 pregnancy tests with five kids in tow and a baby in the sling. You might get some stares. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

herbalgirl Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 I was around 4-5 months. I just carry them more inside, but, it puts a lot of pressure on the pelvic bones!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M&M Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Yep! Positive test and bump seems to show up at the same time. Ditto with nursing and the maternity clothes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aubrey Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Try going to the Dollar Tree and buying 20 pregnancy tests with five kids in tow and a baby in the sling. You might get some stares. Give them a hard look & tell them you run a crisis center. (Called home, where laundry, dishes, chores are all in crisis all the time. Oh, wait. The confession thread is on a different page. Nevermind my house...) ;) OP, since about 3-4mos w/ #1. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoo Keeper Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Yet another person who saw the positive pink line and then couldn't get her jeans zipped back up. :) I also had to get my "big momma" clothes out much earlier than I wanted to (just after 3 months); this was mostly because my regular pants were pushing on the C-section scar when I sat down. I hated to get out the maternity bin, but I was sooo much more comfortable after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tap Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 I show crazy early! I gained 5 dress sizes by 3mths along with my oldest. I was thin and fit, it was just the way I am made. With my 3rd child I was in full maternity clothes at 3mths. Even the drs cant get it right.....both of my OBs were very experienced drs. Probably 20yrs experience each. In my first pregnancy my doctor had to keep adjusting my dates. My earliest date based on exam was the end of June, he was born at the end of August....LOL I guessed he was due in August, but the dr insisted I was wrong. In my next pgy, a diff dr insisted I was a month farther along that I was based again on exam alone. I knew what mth I got pg, so I insisted on an ultrasound to date the pgy. The ultrasound confirmed I was correct. (we lost this baby so she is not in my sig) In my 3rd pgy, at week 8, a dr insisted I either a month further along that I said I was or I was carrying twins. This time I knew, to the day, when I got pg....again an ultrasound confirmed I was correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
