im only 4+3 and my belly has already popped out!!! I showed with ds when i was 8 weeks. Bit worrying! My sister joking that im having twins (not funny) i asked my gp about it yesterday and she didnt seem bothered just said its normal to show quicker second time round. Please someone tell me they are the same and im not a freak??

I showed latter with no2 but i was alot thinner the 1st time i got pg. Is there twins in the family?

same has happened to me - I am now 9 weeks but i started ballooning at 5 weeks (also 2nd child) there is no chance of me hiding the pregnancy !!!

Also worried about having twins - well actually I am bricking it!!!!

So don't worry - I asked the MW and its quite normal to show alot earlier (phew!!)

It's normal, but it also could be fluid retention. I've been in maternity clothes since 7 weeks this time round ... and there's definately only one in there!

i showed really quickly with ds. I was massive when i was pg!(and still am!)

I to am only 4 weeks pg and my tummy is already noticably more protruding. I keep thinking maybe I've got my dates wrong but sounds like it is normal then.

I was showing too at 5 weeks with second and not until 20 with my first. It did calm down towards the end though, but be prepared for lots of "Aren't you massive" comments

im almost embarassed by it! I didnt want to announce it till nearer 10 weeks but there is no way it'll last! I tried on a maternity skirt today (so much more comfy!) and it was such a nice fit but made it even more obvious! Maybe il have to hope it stays cold and wear big jumpers!!

thanks guys, made me feel more normal!
