When did you mums with more than one bubba start showing?? I swear I already look about 5 months preggers and am only at 8.5 weeks   (maybe slight exaggeration hehehehe).
I am not eating that much more than usual but seem to remember hearing that 2nd (or 3rd whatever) bellys get bigger much quicker? Am I just fat or can I blame at least a bit of it on bubs???? ------------- http://lilypie.com">

| i think i showed quicker with my second (even more than my third!) but it might of been the close age gap?? emma was almost 2 when i got pregnant with kayla but wee jade was only 7 or 8 months when i got pregnant with emma. maybe its the "weakend" tummy? |

I popped out really early with Benjy, it was a bit of a shock as I hardly showed at all with Ella till about 6 months!
By 8 weeks I looked like I had a bit of a pie gut and by 12 weeks I had a definite little baby bump. (By 7 months people were saying things like 'Any day now huh?' )------------- Mel, Mummy to E: 6, B: 4 and:

| i started to show about 16 weeks - coincidentally when e realised i was pregnant - but I showed later with Jake - i seem to hold the babies quite "condensed" and then break out about 20-22 weeks. |

My #1 and #2 looked much the same but between the two I had lost 5kg extra (I was small to start with) so that may have been it because Hannah was 7lb 3oz and Briona was 8lb 4oz.
But I showed much quicker with Krystiana and my 7m pg = about full time with Hannah and Briona... check out my comparison bump shots if you like under Due in January (thread is nearly 2 months old). And K was born 8lbs! ------------- |

I showed quite early this time until about 12 weeks then my tummy seemed to go down a bit- must have been all water and air! I think actual baby started to really show around 16 weeks- but I showed quite late with Charlotte (about 22 weeks) so it was way earlier for me. ------------- Jen, Charlotte 7 & Kate 3

Umm with my 1st i was way bigger, showing at 7wks, i was asked on several occasions if i was having twins. And the old "you look like your ready to pop" at 6mnths.
This time i started to show about 12wks. Not looking as big, or have lots of belly flab left-over to hide it. ------------- Mummy of Two Boys B: 2004 K: 2007 |

| I popped so early (a friend was ready to ask when I told her at 5 weeks) but my 11 week pic and 18 week pic are pretty much the same. I think I'm a bit bigger now but not by much so it caught up for me. |
