Hi I feel like I'm going crazy. I am 7 weeks pregnant with my third child. Now because it's my third in 5 years I know I have no stomach muscles at all but I'm convinced that I'm carrying twins or even triplets. At 7 weeks I've put on a stone 😱 my previous pregnancies I've put on 2st the entire pregnancy! I also have a clear and obvious bump already!!! My last pregnancy began as a twin one but we lost the 2nd baby early on. I don't know if I'm imagining it because of this but I just have a gut feeling there's more than one in there.

So my question, when did you start showing with your multiples?

Hi,
I started to show at about 8/9 weeks with twins.. as in I looked bloated. By 11/12 weeks I had a bump :)

Thank you. People keep saying aww I didn't realise you were pregnant, & then looking confused when I say how early I am. I didn't plan to tell anyone till I've had my 12 week scan but there's no hiding it. I don't know what's going on.

I bloated massively from 5 weeks to the point I couldn't wear my jeans anymore and had to wear baggy tops and jumpers to hide it (didn't want anyone knowing before I said) and had a proper noticeable bump by 12/13 weeks that was obviously pregnancy and not too much bread Grin

I showed really early and couldn't do up my jeans past 10 weeks. I lost loads of weight due to morning sickness, but had a bump. However, I also had lots of bloating and a bump early with a subsequent single pregnancy!

I'd get an early scan if you can afford one.

With my second DD (single pg) I noticed a huge difference from as little at 6 weeks. No more jeans and I bought a few floaty tops. People still twigged though - must have been the running to the bathroom to be sick 10 times a day 😀
Congrats x
Oh and I ended up enormous with a less than 2st weight gain.

I'm 11 weeks on Tuesday and I think I'm just bloated...no "bump" yet.

I showed at 11 weeks but was mostly bloating. The huge bump started at 20 weeks and never stopped 😁

Yes, had a private one at 7+5 and got the shock of my life!! Took about a week to sink in! Just waiting for date for 12 week scan now so feeling the nerves again. Have you got a date for yours yet?
