Im 8weeks 3days with baby number2, we've told a few people inc family and close friends but I don't think I'll get to 12weeks without it being totally obvious! I already can't fasten my winter coat or jeans! And yesterday one of my old lady customers asked if I was expecting!! Shock!!

Anyone else show/showing early?!?

I'm 10w2d with DC2 and I couldn't say I have a bump exactly, but I definitely have a little pot belly. My clothes still fit, but I have to stick to loose tops or my belly is really obvious! I guess it's just my expanding uterus pushing everything else outwards (including the few extra lbs of fat I'm still carrying from my last pregnancy).

Hi
This is my second baby, I put on 5kg straight away between week 4 and 8... I had to use my maternity clothing by week 6. I could not hide very long even with loose tops, lots of people had doubts but because it was straight after Xmas, nobody really dared asking ! :) and others just fell from their chair when I told them at 12weeks... It was so obvious.
I am now week 20, managed to stabilise the weight gain at 8kg, but bear the baby very high up so find it hard to remain seated and walk as if I was going to give birth tomorrow... oh dear, another 20 weeks, I don't know if I will not roll into the office by that stage !

yes, I'm massive already- look 6 months and I'm only 4 months. Been in maternity clothes since week 12 (would have put them on earlier but wanted to wait for the scan before I did). I've been showing since about 7-8 weeks.

I started showing around 8 weeks too, and now at 11 weeks I am huge :( Thank god I haven't had to see family/friends before my scan (next week).

Ha! I started a thread about exactly this just a couple of days ago. I have a BUMP already at 7 weeks. With my DS, I wasn't showing until the second trimester, but I already can't fasten my jeans this time round. My neighbour called around when I was in a vest top the other day and she said 'Wow! Congratulations!'

Eeek. I really need to successfully hide this until week 12.
