    Hey guys, I am only 11w2d today but was wonderign at one point (for those of you on at least pregnancy #2) did you guys start to show and when did you start to feel movement?

    I obviously have netierh yet but want to know when I might start?? Also I am a about 25 pounds overweight to begin with.

    I am more overweight than you, so I didn't show really early but I did have to get into maternity jeans by 9/10 wks! Fortunately the jeans I had were stretchy so it wasn't too bad, but it was tight enough on my nauseated tummy that it was bugging me!

    As for movement, I felt the first flutter around 12 wks but not consistently until closer to 18-20 wks, and about 23/24 wks when it was an every day thing at least once a day!

    I started feeling movement by about 20 weeks. My stomach did not look much different from a singleton pregnancy early on however, by week 20 my stomach started to get really big fast.

    I started showing at about 17-18 weeks or so. Feeling movement at about 16 weeks. Just little flutters. I started showing at about the same with my 1st pregnancy.

    showing at 10 weeks and flutters by 17 weeks...movement by 20 weeks.

    with my first daughter i was showing by 16 weeks or 17 weeks....flutters around 22 weeks and movement by 24 weeks so i definitely was a lot earlier on all things with the twins

    I started feeling movement occasionally around 16 weeks. Then pretty regularly around 20 weeks. I started wearing maternity stuff at 12 weeks.

    I've been showing for a few wks now, and movement started about a wk and a half ago, maybe two wks? I asked my mw about it and she said since I've been pg twice before and already knew what it feels like, plus there are two in there, it isn't abnormal. You can't put your hand on my stomach with no pressure and feel them, but if I press down on one side and push in on the other then Baby B will actually push/kick the hand away. DH has gotten to feel it. And tonight I put the corner of a box on my stomach in the kitchen to steady it, and Baby B blatantly pushed/kicked it away.

    I'm about 5'4", maybe a smidge taller and was 140-145 pre-pg. Pretty average size all around, probably more on the heavier side than thinner side.

    [SIZE=12pt]We'll these are babies #6 & 7 for us, so I showed quickly anyway.. but once we realized it was twins I just like popped big time. I am almost the size I was @about 5 mths pregnant with my last child. As for movements I have felt what I think are little tiny flutters, but nothing concrete enough for me to say yep that was them. I am sure it will happen soon enough as I am on the short/petite side so I feel everything a bit early anyway. [/SIZE]

    I have been showing since about 8-9 weeks and just these last few days I have felt some slight movement. I am 16 weeks. This is my third pregnancy. I can't wait to feel them everyday!!

    I started "showing" before I even knew I was pregnant. I was starting to pudge out on my upper stomach where I never have before. I started off well overweight, so it may be different for me. Movement started around 15ish weeks, but it wasnt a constant feeling. Now that I am 29w3d, they move ALL the time...
