Pregnant after IF

bumps?

Hey ladies... when did you first notice a bump?  I know it ranges widely for each person, but was just curious. 

i am 9 weeks today and the past 2 days my stomach has felt a tiny bit harder then the usual squishiness.  my pants are a little tighter but still fit (size 12).  my husband took a look at me this morning and said that people could notice my stomach was bigger but when i looked in the mirror i don't think i could really tell.  

i'm assuming because there are 2 i'll show a little quicker, but i was hoping for it not to be obvious until at least the 2nd trimester.  anyone feel like sharing? 

Me (37) DH (39); PCOS changed to Unexplained, changed to DOR in 2012 (finally a correct diagnosis!); 
Started TTC 2009 with RE after 6 months.  
Clomid + Trigger x2; 
IUI + Femara x1,
IUI + Follistim x2;
IVF #1 (MDL) February 2013- BFN.
IVF #2 (antagonist) May 2013, First BFP of my life. 
Identical twin miracle BOYS (!!) headed our way- due date is technically 2/4/14 but c section is scheduled for 1/7!

  • I only have 1 in there, but I didn't really show until about 20 weeks or so. I definitely felt like I was showing before that (I was sure it was around 11 weeks when I had to stop wearing my normal pants), but in reality, it just looked like I ate a bit extra. But you always notice body changes first. Usually husbands are next and other people will take a lot longer! I bet a bunch of it is just bloating, too. I was bloated until about 11 or 12 weeks.

    I'm petite and thin so I was freaking out when I gained 10 lbs in the first tri, but it just looked like fat/bloat no bump. I didn't start wearing maternity clothes until about 20 weeks and showing around 22 weeks. At 23 weeks, I've only gained a total of 13 lbs, but baby is measuring ahead. People comment all the time that they can't believe I'm so far along. I'm sure your bump experience will be different with twins. ;)

  • 9 weeks today as well...I have felt bloated ever since I started stims for our cycle,but the last few days I have noticed it a bit more. All my pants are really tight. Last night DH asked if I felt like I was starting to show, because he suddenly noticed my shape is a little different. I have a very small frame, size 0, and with the twins I figured I would show earlier than most. I don't think strangers would notice yet, but I am anticipating that will happen soon.

  • I have a very thin frame with a small torso and twins (I mention as I think it makes a difference).

    I could feel my uterus above my pelvic bone by 8 weeks or so (I think?).  I could definitely see a bump and tell I was pregnant by 10 weeks, although it was more pronounced in the evening with bloat, and it wasn't something most strangers would notice. By 14 weeks, I felt it was clearly noticeable to others.  By 16 weeks, my uterus is all the way to my belly button, and my belly is pretty hard to hide.

    Married 8/2008. IVF with PGD March 2013.
    3/22 ER: 25R, 20M, 15F. 9 genetically normal, and 3 survived to Day 5
    3/27 ET: transferred 1 embryo, beta 9dp5dt=163, 12dp5dt=639
    4/25 1st ultrasound at 7 weeks = identical twins with heartbeats?!!!
    PPROM at 31w, delivery at 32 weeks of two beautiful girls
