This will be my 5th child, but it child my stomach never was this big at 8weeks. Do you think it could be twins or something else.
I also want to know is it true when they say each child you have the bigger you get, because in my book I think its true, but I need someone else opinion.

Well I was actually pregnant with identical twins,

and at about 9 weeks I was amazed that I was starting to show already, but I didnt think anything of it.
It wasnt until I got sick at about 16 weeks and had my first baby ultrasound that I discovered it was twins.

So yeah it could very well be twins, or it could be nothing.
I suggest you go to your gp and ask for an ultrasound, they will be able to tell you if its twins or not.

Hope this helps.

I think it's true that your skin is already stretched out from previous pregnancies, thus you will show sooner than usual. But of course, there is always a possibility of twins as well.
