I can't believe how rapidly it's expanding. Wondering if this is normal with 4th pgs? Am I going to be monstrously huge?!

Completely normal. You show earlier with subsequent pregnancies.

FWIW I started showing at about 7wks and thought I was imagining it- definitely not though as a colleague noticed at the same time- and they didn't know I was pg.

About 6 weeks!!!!!!!!!!! Didn't get huge though but my jeans stopped fitting instantly, it's all that slac muscle I'm afraid!

Yeah - like my DH said I'm like a balloon that's been blown up and then deflated - all wrinkly inside (and outside if I'm being honest!!). A lovely visual image for you all at dinner time..

i looked pg (to me) before i even realised i was, with my second. perhaps bloating or whatever but when i was 8 weeks pg (and hadn't told anyone), a guy at work came over and asked me if i was expecting! i was quite big but dd was only 5lb 5 (and overdue).

I'm 7+2 with my fourth, and my jeans are getting uncomfortable already! I got big very quickly with my third too, and was pretty big throughout. Agree - slack muscles are to blame!
