    How soon did everyone start showing? I'm only a little over 6wks, but i look like i'm 3mths. this is my 3rd pregnancy. I'm not over weight, and had a flat belly prior to getting pregnant. I haven't had an ultrasound yet, but it is scheduled for the 24th. I was just curious if this is a big sign of twins? twins run very strong on my mother side, and my sister has identical twin boys. Thanks ahead for all the feedback

    This was my second pregnancy and I started showing, to myself that is, around 13 weeks. I would say around 15 weeks others could tell if they were looking for it. ID twins are spontaneous and don't run in families, I believe, well I know they are spontaneous. Frat. twins do run on the mother's side though.

    So I'm not sure if showing early would be a sign of twins, could just be since this is your third pregnancy.

    Congrats on your pregnancy though.

    Me and DH could tell I was pregnant by about 8 weeks, this is my first pregnancy. However, the first time anyone that didn't know me noticed was when I was 13 - 15 weeks, I can't quite remember. I am more comfortable in loose clothing, so it's not as noticable as it would be if I wore form-fitting shirts.

    well this is my 6th pg and I started to bloat up about 4-6 weeks pg..it got really bad up till 9 weeks then i deflated a bit..lol Now im HUGE again...

    I think everyone is different..but i think the more babies youve had the earlier your POP, just my opinion

    This was my first pregnancy and I started noticing that I couldn't fit into my jeans at 8 weeks. I don't think my bump was visable to the public until around 14 weeks.

    I got asked how far along I was by a stranger at 10 weeks, so I showed pretty early! At 17 weeks, I feel pretty darned big. I have progression pics (taken every two weeks) here if you want to see: http://sommer.cronck.com/belly-pictures/

    When I was pregnant with the girls (my first pregnancy) I wore my first maternity clothes at 13 weeks. That's when I really started to pop. Before that I wore my pants unbuttoned and looser tops but at 13 weeks I couldn't fit into anything comfortably anymore.

    I guess I was the weird pregnant girl. I didn't really start to show or gain any weight until around 20 weeks. My in laws came for a visit and I was 20 weeks and MIL said when I picked them up at the air port that if she didn't know I was pregnant she wouldn't have known by looking at me. That being said I am tall (5' 10'') and I have a very long torso.

    This is my first pg and I didn't start showing until 18 weeks or so and a smaller tummy. My aunt said I was definitely showing by 20...definitely a belly. My mom says I carry well b/c of a long torso too. I'm 5'8. Of course, I could tell a difference in my waist line at 4-1/2 weeks.

    This is my first pregnancy and I was wearing maternity clothes around 6 weeks, but only had a little pop belly. Enough to announce that I was pregnant! Then it slowed down a bit and within the last few weeks I've really started to pop.
