When did you start showing with third baby?

Currently 10 weeks with baby number 3, and I swear some mornings when I put my (very high waisted) jeans on and turn to the side in the mirror, I look about 6 months pregnant!

I've had two previous c sections in the last 2.2 years so the lower half of my belly is definitely sporting the 'c section pouch' overhang, but I do feel my stomach is starting to harden already!?

With DC1, I didn't start showing at all until about 22 weeks, I think DC2 was around 16-18 weeks...

I expected to show pretty early this time round because frankly, my body has taken a complete battering over the last two years, but 10 weeks seems SO early! We were hoping to keep this pregnancy between DH and I for as long as possible, what with it being our last, we just want to enjoy it together before involving others - but damn, I feel like in another months time I'm going to have no choice but to 'fess up!

I started to show in this pregnancy (third) at about 10-12 weeks. In fact I broke my don't tempt fate rule and wore my maternity jeans before my 12 week scan. Not sure if it was baby or bloat though but still was definitely showing by then. Quite nice really as I skipped my "is she putting on weight or pregnant" stage completely and just looked pregnant. Congratulations on your pregnancy 😊.

DC1 about 20 weeks, DC2 about 15 weeks, DC3 about 10 weeks

I was in maternity clothes by 12ish weeks this time.

Weirdly I didn't really show at all much until one night at 17 weeks my belly was so uncomfortable and it literally popped out! My first two I had to get my maternity clothes out at 20 weeks with the first and 18 weeks with the second.

6 weeks but I showed at 11 weeks with my first so it was inevitable really. I am not tall and quite narrow.

24 weeks, but there was quite an age gap between DC2 and DC3

22'weeks.

I showed before 8 weeks with the 3rd 4th and 5th. With the second I showed about 10 weeks. I seem to look about 6 months pregnant straight away then stay the same size until much later on.

Well I'm glad to hear it's not just me that seems to be showing early!
I do think a lot of it may be bloating, but I definitely look and feel bigger at this stage than I did with DC1 & 2.
