Pregnant after 35

Early Bump!

Hello hello!  First post this pregnancy.  So with my last pregnancy (also AMA, but with the added kicker on the chart of elderly primagravida *sigh*) I didn't start to even think about showing until the mid 20's.  I am at 13 weeks, and although I would like to chalk it up to bloat, friends this weekend at a cookout commented on my bump.  I knew I would most likely show early, but geez.  Anyone else show this early the second time around? I'm sure it didn't help that I lost 13 lb the first trimester from raging nausea/vomiting.  

Re: Early Bump!

  • Yes, I'm not quite 13 weeks even, but I definitely have a bump. It is my 3rd pregnancy, and it's gotten earlier each time. So far, I can still hide it by being very strategic in my clothing choices, LOL, which is a good thing because we don't want to announce it just yet. Only my mother knows so far, but if we don't tell people soon, I'm sure the whispering and wondering will begin soon!

  • Mine shows already too.  Very difficult to hide.  My DH keeps telling me it's because I'm skinny that it's obvious, but I'm not sure if that's to make me feel better or not.  I think it you know me, it's obvious.  If you've never met me, you might just think that's how my body is...

  • It's my first, but I was showing (despite dressing to hide it) by about 12-14 weeks. I'm 20 weeks, and I'm very obviously pregnant.

  • I was in nothing but maternity by 11 weeks this time.  I look like I am 6 months at least.

  • 12-13w is right about when I gave up trying to hide my bump.  By 15w I was noticeably pg. At 19w, I look like i did at about 25-26w with DS.

  • This is my 4th pregnancy, but only the 2nd to make it to the 2nd trimester, but yes, with this one, my pants were snug at 8 weeks even though my weight was holding steady. I was so grateful to hit the 13wk mark because I got my NT scan results and was finally comfortable telling my coworkers, and I went straight into maternity clothes at that point. As soon soon as I did that, there was no denying it was a baby bump, and not bloat. I've noticed that when I compare my pics to my pics from my first pregnancy, I look a few weeks bigger than I am, even though all my fundal height measurements are right on target too.
  • This is my second pregnancy.  I started showing at 7 weeks. At 9 weeks people were making comments at the town pool. I'm at 10 weeks now and can't wait till next Friday when we have our NT scan and I can tell the world what they already suspect!
