Showing at 6 weeks??

Yes and I'm not just bloated.

Is this possible? I remember needing maternity jeans by 10 weeks with DS.

Please tell me it's not the pizza and chips I had at lunch.

Everyone's different. My tummy has been sticking out from the beginning but it's because this pregnancy is causing terrible bloating and constipation.....not fun!

ChristMarsSleighdy · 22/12/2008 18:19

I showed very early with all of mine. Also, once you've had one you tend to show earlier with subsequent babies.

Of course it's not the pizza and chips

I remember i was showing by 8 weeks i was still in my normal size 10 jeans but i was veri uncomfortable!! i think i may have had a tiny bit at 6 weeks but i think it was more just hard than anyhting.. everyone is diffrent and i wouldnt worry about it. i started feeling my baby kick really early and evri1 told me 'i couldnt possibly be feeling it this early' but i was im 19 weeks now and still feeling it kick the living daylights out of me!! xxxx

29 weeks sorry*

MoominMoma · 22/12/2008 18:36

Hi Picanta, I am 9 weeks and feel like I am beginning to 'show' already.

hotCheeseBurns · 22/12/2008 18:38

I was "showing" at about 8 weeks... I think because I just stopped holding my tummy in all the time and started letting it all hang out! I've always put weight on on my belly and nowhere else so my bump was big from the off!

drinkmoretea · 22/12/2008 18:39

i was showing by 6 weeks and i had twins!! how exciting...

lilimama · 22/12/2008 19:30

I'm 8 weeks with my 2nd and I came on here to post an "I'm HUGE already" thread, so I'll just join this one.

But WTF???!!!

I'm a sporty, healthy, athletic flat stomached girl usually, and since DS1 it's true I"ve been a bit heavier but I've been following Gowri Motha's diet. i,e no muffins or pizza etc etc. and I"m totally looking pregnant! Like 4 months pregnant, it's outrageous. And it's all high up too and I've been doing my Pilates 3 times a week so it's not just "hanging out"

I"m totally amazed that my body can explode so much so early.

Aaarrggghhh. !

Oh thank god I am not the only one! I nearly started this post last night. Despite dropping a couple of pounds and only being 7 weeks I already have a wee little bump. I can't believe it!

DoubleBluff · 22/12/2008 20:12

with ds2 i was showing before i had even tested!

Picante · 23/12/2008 07:01

Oh good. It's not just the pizza then.

lilimama sadly I am not sporty and athletic so it looks like that's not a factor either!

drinkmoretea please don't worry me... fortunately no twins in my family but have been feeling sick since 3 weeks.

Might even be brave enough to post a pic then you can all tell me I'm just fat.

I had to 'go into hiding before my 12 week scan as people would have guessed.... I was showing at about 5 weeks with this one and looked about 20 weeks when I was 12 weeks...

WhileShosheWatchedHerFlocks · 23/12/2008 07:16

Picante BF has been sick from the start, cant get hr jeans on from about 8 weeks, feeling really tired all the time.

had her 12 week scan yesterday..................Its Twins

Picante · 23/12/2008 07:26

Thanks Shoshe. Thanks a bunch!

Well got an early scan on New Year's Eve so will let you all know.

MoominMoma · 23/12/2008 08:10

I must just be getting fat as I had an early scan and there was no sign of twins!

CaptainKarvol · 23/12/2008 10:29

Just to reassure, in case you are worried about the twins thing!

I was terrified this bump was going to be twins (and strangely thrilled by the idea, too) - it isn't, there's just the one in there, but I was first ASKED if I was pg at 5-6 weeks, was easily showing by 8 weeks and into maternity clothes about them. Was sick, sick, sick for the first 16 weeks as well.

DECKmuppetWITHBOUGHSOFHOLLY · 23/12/2008 10:32

ds 1, not till 18 or so weeks
mmc, had a very prgt bump at 14 weeks
ds 2, bump by 8 weeks (though never got flat tummy back from mmc as they were close together)

dc 3, I'm 12 weeks and still in size 8 jeans...

I guess they're all different!

DECKmuppetWITHBOUGHSOFHOLLY · 23/12/2008 10:34

i am a lot fitter with this pgcy though as I run/ran 3 times a week + personal training session. I think my starting point is better this time and my muscles are tighter (tummy, good god not pelvic floor!!!!) I am continuing with the pt sessions for as long as I can.

drinkmoretea · 23/12/2008 23:28

Why would you be worried? Twins are great!

Oh and Identical twins (like mine) do not run in families....
