Huge in early pregnancy

I’m 10.5 weeks pregnant with my third and I am HUGE!! We haven’t told friends or family yet but I feel like people are looking at my tummy already.

I got bigger, faster with my second but this is just ridiculous. I look like I’m 20+ weeks pregnant.

Did anyone else have this problem after a few pregnancies?

Yes I did, even though I was overweight when I fell pregnant with my fifth I looked noticeably pregnant by 3 months. It's hard to hide unless you complain of being bloated every time you see someone you know 😂

It’s so annoying hey? I’m a size 8 so I think it’s even more noticeable for me.

It's more annoying when you finally do tell people you're pregnant and every second person says you must be having twins 😂

I did tell my parents actually and dad said, “Is it normal to be that big already? Are you sure you’re not having twins?” 😫

Yes.
First 2 pregnancies i just looked a little pudgy til around 20 weeks. I could tell people were looking at me like "is she pregnant or is she just chunky?" 😂

3rd pregnancy, i was showing at 8 weeks, looked at least 16 to 18 weeks. It was probably a lot of fluid and i did have my kids really close so that might've had an effect.
She was also born at 10lbs lol

Yep. Second time I had to tell people by 12 weeks it was obvious. Apparently the more you have, the more room there is in there from the get go and your body just knows what to do and springs to it!

I was obviously pregnant by 5 weeks with my first child and 6 weeks with my second. By the 18-20 week morphology scan I looked full term both times (actually bigger than all 4 friends that actually were full term at that point with my first). If you can't hide it, you can't hide it.

I'm currently 6 weeks with #3 so this is daunting because I don't know when we are telling everyone lol

But i started showing around 12 weeks first time and 10 weeks second time. I've always just looked like I'm gaining weight and getting chubby in the belly until about 20 weeks when I really pop out into a full bump.

I was the opposite. My 3rd pregnancy I was a lot smaller & didn’t really show until around 16/17 weeks. She did come out really small though, 2.5kgs. I’m a size 8-10.

But there will be a 10 yr gap between 2 and 3...
