Around 16 weeks I seem to remember with my twins - although still easily disguised with baggy tops for a few weeks beyond that. And then I was massive, so enjoy your waist while you can!

think I was around 19 weeks with little twins. About the same as with my previous single pregnancy. I didn't really get much bigger with the twins then they appeared at 35 weeks. Only difference was that by about 7 months I looked like I was due. Didn't get enormously bigger after that and everytrhing went back to normal weight a couple of weeks after the babies were born. Although when I wear a bikini now the skin on my tummy looks like it would benefit from either 5 litres of bio oil, a bucket load of collagen or a tummy tuck

I can't remember but it must have been a lot before the 12 week scan as I was convinced it was twins before we knew because of the bump. It was a very different shape of bump to the 2 singletons I have had though. Hard and wide at the bottom and soft at the top and I had nasty spd until they moved out of my pelvis which has now returned now that twin 1 has put his head back in

Probably depends on the way you're carrying them. Mine have been one on each side right from the beginning.

Very late as remember panicking around 15 weeks over still having a completely flat tummy.....
Got huge by 37th week but shrank back to my normal size shortly afterwards. No stretchmarks or loose skin either, happy to report.

That's very depressing Rollmops, mine my tummy looks like a road map! I was showing a little by my 12 week scan, and got ENORMOUS by 38+6 when they actually came.

Pregnant again with one this time, am already having a bit of trouble doing up my trousers and I'm 13 weeks. It's supposed to show earlier though after the first pregnancy isn't it, because all your muscles are shot!

I'm almost 15 weeks and just look fat! I was finding some of my normal clothes tight at 12 weeks, and my husband said he noticed a bump at 10 weeks (but what does he know!)

I was the same as rollmops - started to show at about 18 weeks but was back to normal weight within about 2 weeks of giving birth. I put on a normal amount of weight and looked pretty big by the end but recovered quicker than i did fiorst time round with a single baby

Think I started to show at about 12/13 weeks - and I was huuuuuuuuge by 38 weeks - think I lost two stone the day after the birth as they were 7lb 12 and 6lb 9 respectively!

I was about 19 weeks when started to look more like a pregnancy and not just a bit of waist thickness! But soon made up for it and looked like I'd swallowed a beachball by week 37! In a good way, natch...!
