I already look pregnant, not super pregnant mind you, but I have a baby shower to go to Sun and I know everyone will be able to tell. Is it because I just had a baby or what? I know I still had some weight to lose from 1# but this is all belly. My jeans don't fit. With 1# I didn't wear mat. until week 17-18. I feel kinda silly. Is this normal?

with my 2nd I started showing much sooner... but I don't know if it was this soon. I think I was like 8 weeks when my belly popped in. I just wore my jeans unbuttoned and zipped as far as I could and then folded in and a longer shirt until I had to switch to maternity pants.

I'm Due 4/19 and I'm not showing int he slightest yet :)

I think the closer babes are together, the sooner you'll show, because you never really got all the "tone" back ... I'm 9 weeks, and look about the same as i did at 4mo. with DD (7/2/03) and 6mo. with DS (I didn't start showing w/my first pg til 25 weeks!)

I am sooooo pooched!! I'm not even 5 weeks yet & alll my pants/shorts are uncomfortable! Last time I barely showed at 5 months! Oh boy....I think I'm going to have to dig out my mat stuff sooner than later!

Glad I'm not alone!

Wackadoo, we have the same EDD and I'm pooched too. Of course, I never lost it all after ds, but I swear there's more there now, lol.
I'm kinda looking forward to showing---that's when it all becomes 'real' to me :)

I'm showing sooner too! I've always heard that the more babies you have, the sooner you show. I guess your body says, "Oh yeah, I'vd done this before!" LOL.
I'm due 4/10 and I am showing some. I did have some extra weight on (15 lbs) but not too too noticeable. Still though, I think I am showing more now at 7wks than I was before at 7wks. I'm saved my favorite maternity clothes from before, but some of the new maternity clothes are really cute! I'll have to hold off on getting any until my 2nd tri just in case! :love

Sigh. Packed away my first item of clothing this morning---my favorite cargo flares. They are just too tight to be comfortable now---I think they were in cahoots with my morning sickness, lol. Oh well, I have the same pants in one size up and those still fit. For now :)

My clothes are getting tight, and I'm just 5 weeks! I think it's that I am so darn bloated from the high progesterone! It's not baby yet, just water retention!
