Did you have a bump much earlier with DC3?

I'm 11 wks pg and feel enormous!

Well, not compared to what's to come of course, but I'm noticeably pg in most of the clothes I'm wearing.

I'm sure I didn't show this soon with DS2, and definitely not with DS1.

I keep thinking scary thoughts about twins..... Grin

I'm 12 wks with DC4 and I am massive Shock. I look about 5 months gone Grin I was dreading scan in case I had 2 tucked in there, but no just one.

I think your body is used to being pg and I have weak stomach muscles. I remember doing the same with number 3. On the plus side it did slow down and even out to normal size at about 5 months Hmm So fingers crossed.

Good luck. xx

I've got my scan on Monday week so hopefully that will put me out of my misery!

11 weeks here too and have been showing for ages, i think its like this for most people with their 3rd i've heard from a lot of people experiencing the same. I'm thinking maybe its weaker stomach muscles after the other dc, or something like that? especially if having them close together?

Yes, I am expecting the third and its been really hard to disguise it until I wanted to tell people after my 12 week scan. Luckily I think they just think I ate too much chocolate at christmas :)
