Moms of three or more

Did you start showing super early? I am hoping to keep this pregnancy under wraps until 12 or 13 weeks. Wonder if that will work?

Umm... I guess I missed a BFP post, CONGRATS!
I had a stranger ask when I was 6 weeks & I had lost 20 before getting PG too. BUT I had 3 in 4.5 Years.

Depends on your shape...I hid mine pretty well for a while, but I'm a little thicker waisted. When I was pregnant with DD, she laid sideways forever, so I hardly showed at all. Congrats again, btw!

I definitely bloated earlier with #3.  Congrats on your BFP

I am only on baby number two but I am showing less at this stage than I was with DS, so there is hope. Congrats!

I found I bloated/showed earlier with this pregnancy (#3). That being said, we planned on announcing at 12 weeks. What I thought was 12 weeks was actually 16 weeks. 

Which helped to partly explain why I was having so much trouble hiding it. But still, yes, I was much bigger earlier.

And now, at 33ish weeks, my maternity shirts barely cover my belly/the elastic waist on maternity pants. I feel like I am constantly tugging my shirt down to make sure I am not exposed. But I am too cheap to get more shirts for what could be only 4 or 5 weeks.

I bloated up right away (8ish weeks) with this baby (#4) and I have looked about 20 weeks pregnant since 13 w (I'm 15.5 now).  I also started off heavier this pg than my past pgs.  I don't remember being bloated at all with baby #3.  I think it depends on the pregnancy.

OMG! I was ridiculous when I was PG with Margo! I think the bump was there at like 7 weeks.

Oh and congratulations!

Oh I feel bad for Jenni, I'd like to be able to hide it for a little while at least!  I am 11 weeks and I am definitely showing this time around.  Last time I didn't pop until 19 weeks, I actually got my first comment at lunch after our ultrasound.  I've already had questions from our neighbors this time around.

Did you update on yest. betas?

And I only have 2 but I def. showed way early with this one, probably because of the timing. But check out Jenni's blog (she's mrs.jenni around TB). She builds mansion sized-utes for her kids and shows WICKED early.

Thrilled for you!

Congrats.

I'm on kid 3 and I thought I was doing well hiding it but random chick at the bank asked me on Wed. when the baby was due...lol.

I get home and vent to my MIL and she begins her response with..."Well, to be honest..."

I'm at 12 weeks and I could hide it if I cared more, but it's pretty obvious.

I was well past 16 weeks with my first two, so I wasn't expecting it so fast this time. My abs are horrible from my second so dr. that plays into it big time too.

Congratulations! I started showing around 10 weeks with my third. I think my family/friends could tell by then, so I started announcing then.

McAllie05

Congratulations! I'm not a mom of three, but I did start showing a lot earlier with #2.

hellopoppyseed

I actually didn't tell anyone till almost 14 weeks with number 3 and no one really asked. I did by some very flowy tops right away and I think I was in maternity jeans early but no one really noticed.

Very happy for you and your family, AG.

With my third pregnancy, I managed to keep it a secret from our family and friends till around 20-21 weeks!! :-)  There was an occasion earlier on when a stranger asked me about my pregnancy; apparently I had given it away by rubbing my belly a lot! Good luck and congrats!
