So with my previous pregnancies I've heard from my own self before, "wow I'm only "x" weeks and my jeans are already so tight!"
Well this is my 4th pregnancy (1 early m/c and 2 full term pregnancies) and this time it's even worse! I'm not complaining - I'm VERY excited about this little edition to our family! I'm just curious if other moms have noticed their tummy muscles "pudging" out earlier in subsequent pregnancies? I thought for sure there were twins, triplets or I was further along but - ultrasound shows a tiny baby - I'm only 5 or 6 weeks along!
I'm already getting tugging and pulling of ligaments that previously did not tug or pull until being stretched at around 14 weeks of pregnancy! I think this may be due to the fact that I've stretched twice already, there's now relaxin in my system so my ab muscles are relaxed (and weren't all that toned to start with) and also because my youngest is 14 months so it hasn't been very long since I last stretched out.
It's a bit embarrassing to tell people I'm pregnant and then when I tell them I'm only possibly 6 weeks they look at my tummy and wonder how it's "grown" so fast. Seriously - my shirts are tight, can't button my jeans - I LOOK pregnant!
Anyone else?

With my girls, i squished myself back into my prepregnancy pants for as long as I could, and this time I embraced the maternity pants. I'm much larger this time than i have been in the past - already getting "Due any day, huh?" remarks at 24 weeks - but hear that it is normal with us 3+ timers.
Same here! I'm a fluffy mama, and started showing with my daughter at 9 weeks - this time - 5 weeks! Comparison picture from 5wks with my DD, and 5 weeks with jellybean -
