7wks. 3rd pregnancy. showing already........

[CarlyP]

anyone else starting showing sooo early.

defintiely got bigger and jeans felt alot tighter. only 7+2 with baby no.3

anyone been the same?

cx

Yes. I'm now 33wks pregnant with no.3. My bump started to show at about 7 weeks and I was panicking that it might be twins. I'm still measuring large for my dates but there is only one baby in there.

I think it's something to do with the muscles being 'looser' after previous pregnancies.

thanks coppertop. dont think its twins. my DH would cry!!! can i ask if this 3rd preg felt different from the other 2? mine does.

I've had similar symptoms to the previous 2 pregnancies but strangely this pregnancy seems to have been much easier - despite having a 5yr-old and a 3yr-old to look after. No idea why though.

I'm 13 weeks atm and huge.

Am in all my maternity clothes.

Just the one baby too

thinkit must be 'relaxed muscles' thing is im trying to avoid telling work and most other ppl til after the scan. keep having to hide under ponchos and big jumpers.......!!!!

i was v v sick with ds's and terrible pregs. this one i have awful cramping pains but no scikness. wierd. jsut feels diff.

Oh yes - at 4 months pg with ds (third baby)I was the same size that I was with dd1 (first baby) at 8 months!!!

I'm 28wks pg with no.3, and things started getting tight at 7-8wks with DD2 and this one. It was a real shock because with DD1, I was still in my normal jeans at 15wks! It is something to do with those looser tummy muscles.

I'm not finding this pg easy at all. Got indigestion and heartburn at night, something I never had with the other 2. (Sorry for the moan, feeling fed up already!)

third one def felt totally diff for me. Stomach got bigger earlier, but then stayed that way for quite a while, so didn't show earlier. I think it is jsut loose stomach muscles. Tho I did have twins third time.

i jsut cant wait to 'feel' more preg. feel a fraud right now, i have a cyst so going for another early scan this or next week. might be able to see a heartbeat then, so thats great.

i went for a scan at 5+3 and they saw only a sac. so i have to go back, but there was someone on here that went back adn then they found 2 sacks and 2 babies!! my h would cry! id love it however!! we have a 1 and 2 yr old sons already.

good luck with the scan.

oh and u dont really want twins!

Hi

I'm on number 2 and I was in maternity at 6 weeks . Only 1 though so must be bad stomach muscles.

Although I got big fast on 1st baby but then stayed the same for ages.

fingers crossed i dont start wearing my mat clothes all the time jsut yet........but the trousers are soooo comfay compared to my 'normal' ones!!!

I remeber my jeans being tight when I was 5wk+3dys with Ds3.

I was quite a sight by 9 months!

Yes, definitely. By the time I was 26 weeks I was bigger than I had been at 39 weeks with DS1. Mind you DS3 was a big baby - 9.6.

I am 25wks with no 3 and I showed early then slowed down a lot now I am not any bigger than anyone else but I paniked as I thought it was twins when I got so big!!

my pregnancy is totally different this time they think I am having a girl though whereas I have had boys before

blimey! so im sure ill be getting bigger sooner rather than later!!!!

going to avoid my parents at all costs til then!!

carlp, I will be 7 wks on Friday and I am certainly bigger clothes getting tighter. Told just the parents and that was yesterday and my dad said he knew cos I had changed shape like you though this one feels different. best of luck during your pg

THANKS FIRSTNIKKI. GOOD LUCK TO YOU TOO.
