    I am expecting number 5. I had a 13 week m/c in 1994, then a baby in April 95, July 98 and twins 01. When did you start to show with each pregnancy? TIA! :babyflips:

    With the twins, probably around 12-14 weeks, with my singleton, probably not till 20 weeks or so.

    With my first son, singleton, I was prob close to 20 weeks. I had a loss in early 09 at 10 weeks, but started showing with that pregnancy REALLY early, like week 7. THe twins I started to show by week 10.

    I am going out and buying new shirts this weekend that are more flowey because my post-lunch belly is causing me to get looks. I showed at 20+ weeks with the older one and moved into maternity pants at 18 weeks with the twins. I am hoping to make it to 15 weeks with this one.

    DH and I could see my tummy around 10 weeks, but no one else would admit to seeing it until 16 weeks. I think they were trying to be nice because who wants to tell a pregnant lady she is starting to look big too early.

    I know my friends have said they showed earlier with each pregnancy after the 1st, but we only had the one pregnancy so I can't offer any input there.

    This time I started showing around 10 weeks or so, but I'm really skinny to start with.

    With my twins my pants were getting tight at 8 weeks, I started to show at around 9 weeks. with my first pregnancy, I began to show at around 12 weeks. I too am small to start with.

    With my first and second, singletons, it was about 20 wks. With the boys, it was 8wks, I remember because I kept thinking it was soon that my clothes didn't fit (I was small too). Found out it was twins that week. With my last I showed early as well because it was twins, but after losing one, I leveled off a bit. That was weird.

    With my first it wasn't until at least 20 weeks
    With my second it was about 16 weeks or so
    With M&M I def had a belly at 8 weeks, but it was quads so I expected that.
    I have had 10 miscarriages but they were 10 weeks and earlier so I don't think that affected mine.
    They say your uterus remembers so its not suprising you are already seeing it!

    with P and P about 11 weeks my belly was getting bigger, by 14 weeks I was showing. Chloe had me popping out right away. When I went for my first check up (9wks) I was measuring 15 wks.(but the twins were only 10 months old).

    Hope things go well for you with this little one:)

    17 weeks w/ twins, and I was skinny, too. I'm 30 weeks now and still wear the same pants I wore pre pregnancy but HUGE shirts. I'm measuring 3 weeks ahead!

    I didn't start showing with my singleton til about 20 weeks. With the twins, I noticed a pooch by 8 weeks and others noticed by 12. I'm only 4-5 weeks this time, and already have a major pooch. My pants (I was a size 2) were falling off me two weeks ago and I can barely squeeze into them now after gaining so much so early. I bet I'm definitely in maternity pants by 8 weeks.

    I'm small and didn't show with my first one (singleton) until 24 weeks. With the twins, I was already buying looser clothing by 12 weeks. At my 13 week check-up, my OB said my uterus is measuring like it is 18 weeks!
