Six weeks pregnant and already showing with a third baby

Hey everyone, I'm currently 6 weeks pregnant with my 3rd child (DS 15, DD4) and my stomach is honestly huge.

It's round and hard, I didn't look this big until around 16 weeks or later with my last pregnancy.

Is this normal in a third pregnancy?! I'm struggling to hide it from people 😩

It's just bloat and your muscles are already relaxed from 2 previous pregnancies. Floaty clothing is your friend!

Agree it’s bloat. Your uterus doesn’t rise out of your pelvis until about 12 weeks so it’s not a bump yet. Progesterone, which keeps your pregnancy going, also slows down digestion and causes bloating.

It’s bloating, even if your uterus was bigger than last time it’d still be in your pelvis. The bloat is normal though! Hopefully itl settle down
