I know with each pregnancy you tend to show earlier. When did you show with all your pregnancies? I'm pregnant with my 3rd and only 5w+3d and trying to hold out from announcing until I'm 4 months but proving difficult as I'm bloating so much already!!

On all my pregnancies I bloated so much between 4 and 7ish weeks. So much so that between weeks 4 and 5 multiple people have commented about my 'news'.

I'm 11 weeks and its completely settled again. On my last pregnancy some people made comments are 4 or 5 weeks but others didn't even know I was expecting by week 36 or 37 because I was quite neat.

I was definitely bigger but bloated first 6 weeks than last 6 weeks 😂

This is my first, and I had serious bloating from at least 7 weeks and was forced to buy some emergency maternity trousers. I never fit back into my normal clothing, just gradually got a bigger bump. I think it's because I don't exercise 🫣 so don't have strong core muscles. I thought being slimmer I'd have a smaller bump, but it hasn't worked that way 😂
