Already showing?

This is my second pregnancy and I am *definitely* already showing. How is this possible?? I know you show sooner after the first pregnancy, but geesh, I'm not even 6 weeks along. I feel as big as I was at 20 weeks the first time. Is this normal??

I hope it's normal, because I've got the same thing going on here.

I just posted a pic in the chat thread to show it... I don't know what's going on either. Octuplets?

For my second I was definitely showing rather soon. Now its #3 and I'm just 4 weeks and I swear some of my pants are tight - but its all just bloating. This time around I'm not as causious about drinking only water and stuff - so maybe it has to do with something in the food?

I don't know how "normal" it is. But wanted to let you know you are SO not alone! I will be 5 weeks tomorrow and I look like I am 20 weeks. And that is when I am wearing my regular clothes (like my grocho pants and long tank tops...nothing else fits!). If I wear anything maternity, I feel more comfy...but then I look 30 weeks pregnant.

I asked DH is it was just my imagination...and he sadly said "no". LOL!

It doesn't bother me since I LOVE being pregnant! But for such a small bean still in my pelvis I am big in the belly area for sure!

Doubt that I am "showing" as I am not even 5 weeks. I can say that the day I tested (but before I thought to test) I could not believe how awfull my pants fit, and how yucky my cankles looked. I just figured I needed to pay more attention to what I was eating, and drinking. Boy am I wishing I would have just lost those extra 30 plus pounds of baby weight inthe last (almost) 2 years. grrrr

I just noticed yesterday that I'm definitely looking a little rounder in the belly. I don't think anyone else can tell yet, but I definitely notice. With DS, I didn't show until around 24 weeks, so this is WAY sooner!

It's definitely normal for subsequent pregnancies. I'm on pregnancy #4, and I'm showing enough to be in maternity pants. I think our bodies have a better idea of what to do after the first (or at least second) pregnancy, and they just get right to work with the expansion.

Yup. For at least a week now. And I'm 6wks2days. I'm out of all but one pair of pants. I'm not quite big enough for maternity pants though, so I think I need to invest in one of those bellabands things. I'm also getting fairly limited with shirts. I have a significant amount of chub anyway, and now it just seems all pushed up. Lovely!

I'm going to need to tell my mom soon. She knows what my maternity clothes look like and since I'm running out of options with what to wear...

I am now 8wks 1d and feel like I really "popped" in the last few days...not up to taking a new picture though.

What I am sure of is that none of my regular clothes fit, I'm wearing gauchos, maternity shorts and baby doll dresses (one maternity, one not).

I am 8 weeks 1 day with #7 and I am def showing. I can tell I am bloated and what feels really wierd is I can feel all my organs being pushed up. I feel like my insides are out of place I always get big fast so I know this is normal. I've never measued bigger than 38 cm though so I know it will work out in the end. Just right now is an akward phase. Miss the days of my first 2 when noone could tell I was pg till I was 6 mos.

I'll be 7 weeks tomorrow and my belly pretty much looks like yours Tika. This is my first baby but I'm already wearing maternity clothes at work - none of my "regular" work clothes fit at all, and I haven't gained a pound yet. No idea why so soon, but eh I'm not questioning it anymore I know I'm not imagining it b/c dw even says she sees it too!

I'm definitely showing at 7 weeks. I can fit into *some* pants, but not all.
This is my third pregnancy.

Meggie and Tika, thanks for posting your pics too! You guys look great! It's one thing to read that I'm not alone, but it's nice to see that I'm not the only one with an ambitious belly!
