Moms with 2 more...  

post #1 of 11
Thread Starter 
When did you start showing?? It can't seriously be possible to start showing already can it? This is number 4 and I swear my stomach has gotten bigger. Maybe just water weight? I didn't exactly have a flat stomach to begin with lol

But really when is it reasonable to start showing with a 4th pregnancy?

I was wondering the exact same thing! This is also my 4th and my pants are already getting tight. My guess is bloating and water weight.

At the rate I`m going I`ll be in maternity clothes at 8 weeks :

Actually, I am also starting to get a little bump myself . I did some checking, on American Pregnancy, I think, and it said that women will usually show earlier in 2nd and later pregnancies because the uterus is already used to being stretched from #1 : Oh well, I guess I better go maternity clothes shopping real soon lol

This is my 4th also! I've noticed the past few days that my pants are feeling tight. It seems like I go into maternity pants sooner each time. I don't know when is a reasonable time to start showing, but I'm afraid I'll probably be into maternity clothes by 8-10 weeks.

I have shown earlier and earlier with my pregnancies (on 5th now). No bump yet here, but I am sure it will be early. I am full size pregnant mode by the end of the first trimester which is somewhat embarassing. Getting those "Wow, you are ready to pop!" comments when you are only 1/3 of the way into it isn't fun.

This is my 8th and No I'm not showing yet. In the past I have had bloating but not so far this pg. But more than likely I will be in maternity clothes by 8 weeks. Thats when my uterus starts to pop up over my pubic bone so I am enjoying no one noticing right now.

This is my third, and I didn't start showing, really showing and wearing maternity clothes until about 6 to 7 months or so.

I have a lot of bloat, and my body is starting to pad itself in the thighs.... so my pants are definitely tight but not in a cute belly way

I'm due in mid-April with #3, so I am 7.5 weeks at the moment. I easily look 3 months pregnant. And it's only in my belly because my jeans (thankfully) still fit in the legs and butt!

My fourth here too.

If I didn't know I was PG, I'd think it was just bloating in prep for my monthly baby juice my clothes have been tight for a few days now and I'm not even2 weeks yet. I admit that some of that is in my head because I'm so dang happy, but really, I'm bloated like a mofo LOL

WOW, #4 here as well!
I remember being surprised that I was starting to show a bit at 6 weeks with #3. Now, I had a bit of a belly left from my last 2, so I don't look much different now than I did a month ago, but my clothes certainly fit differently. My "comfy" jean and khaki shorts are quite tight. I'm not even 6 weeks yet, but will be pulling out the maternity clothes soon...CRAZY!

I am pregnant with my third and, though I am not 'showing', I look like I have had a few too many donuts. I just cannot suck in the stomach as I usually can. So I am unpleasantly sporting a 'muffin-top'. Not cool.

With my first I didn't show until 18 weeks, with #2 I started to show about 10-12 weeks and it seems that I will be showing by 10 weeks for sure, if not sooner. I am hoping not before 10-12 as I want to wait to tell family and friends till then. Unless and friends are lurking the boards or my username...in that case I will be supremely disappointed to not get to properly announce.... you know?
