Q: I Am 6 Weeks Pregnant And I Feel Like I'm Showing Already

Anyway this passed week I feel like my belly is showing sooner. This is counting number 3 for my husband and i. I've heard that we show alittle sooner with every pregnancy, but this is really early. For some reason it feels like everything has shifted upward., and my belly feels somewhat hard. Has any of you felt this way after baby number 2. I am kinda freaked out about it and any replies would be greatly appreciated

Dont be alarmed haha, I started showing at 6 weeks too. Especially with your 3rd baby, your likely to show alot sooner. I have seen some pictures of women at 6 weeks who look like they are 5 months! Every person's body is different.

Of course youd have to wait for an ultrasound to see if there are 2 in there haha

I am about 9 weeks now and my stomach like it is just sticking out there, all of my clothes are tight already and although I am not quite at the stage to be wearing maternity clothes I still can't wear any of my normal clothes, so I am at a real in between stage. I keep telling myself that I shud not be showing so early either. With my first daughter I didn't show until I was at leats 5 months, now two miscarriages later and another pregnancy I feel as though I am just tumbling along, good year blimp, kinda thing. I don't know if that is normal or not. My brother tells me that he thinks my dates are wrong and that I shud check with my doctor again. But I go back to him on the 12th for another scan so we will see exactly what's going on there.

I started showing at 6 weeks too and this is my first. But I am right on schedule, just some people show sooner than others, especially if its a 2nd, 3rd, 4th pregnancy. Now I am almost 14 weeks and showing alot haha, but I had a scan done at 10 weeks and everything is just great! I go back to the doc on thursday.

Ya know, that's what I kept telling myself, that maybe it was just bloating or I was just gassy, becuz at 9 weeks babies really aren't that big to make an impression. But when I wake up in the mornings my stomach still doesn't go down and i've been eating plenty fruit and drinking lots of water so I am quite regular about going to the bathroom becuz I know that you can get constipated during pregnancy and still my stomach isn't going anywhere. The thing is that I try very hard not to over eat becuz that whole 'eating for two' thing is just a myth, becuz the bayby takes what it wants and the rest is just stored as fat on our bodies, so I have been trying to eat really healthy. Apart from that becuz of my 'morning' sickness I have to eat little amounts at a time so I don't gorge myself, yet I can't figure out why my tummy just sticks out there. Who knows, might be another twin I don't know. It's just really strange to have all this tummy at 9 weeks. Really weird.

6 weeks sounds like bloating, but you never know. Even though baby is the size of a grape, maybe the uterus is already getting ready to expand.

Especially if you're on the thinner side ;]

my pants were tight by 8 weeks, by 10 weeks they were un-buttoned, and by 12 weeks I was in stretchy pants!

Yes it is true it is not baby that is making your belly grow in size. It also depends on how many pregnancies you have had. They say with every pregnancy you show faster because the uterus expands sooner b/c it has been stretchd before plus you can feel your baby sooner then the expected weeks then first time mothers. Between last part of 9 weeks on the baby starts to wiggle inside. By 10-14 weeks it can be very possible to feel some flutter.

Hey 3kizz, I didn't even know all of that. I had a kid before but she is like 11 years old. I also had two miscarriages last year, so I don't know if that I had anything to do with it. But thanks for the info. I hadn't a clue. You live and learn :)
