When did you start showing with twins?

bkjcwedding · February 2010

The old nosey biddies at work are making me crazy telling me that there must be something wrong b/c I'm 14 weeks and not showing. I know there's not... but was just curious when others who were pg with twins began to show. I need to silence these hags once and for all....

Thanks!

I could button my regular non maternity pants until I was 16 weeks. Around 18 weeks, I finally started to show a little bit.

23 weeks or so. I was always on the small side and received many comments that I was too little to carry twins. I had a 5lb 5ozer and a 6lb 5ozer. It's amazing how they fit in there!

I am a bit on the plump side but at 23w the belly really has not grown past the boobs. I am sure it will one day.

I'm wearing maternity pants at 10 weeks. But, my doctor told me it was "bloating and gas" Huh? and my boobs are def. the winner in "size". They stick out way farther than my tummy.

(I have had miscarriages, and I think that my belly just popped out sooner than most ppl because it has been thru the beginning stages many times.)

I am 18 weeks and am just getting a very small belly now, I can still but my pants, but am a little uncomfortable, so I just started wearing a bella band this week. I saw my Dr. Monday and both babies are measuring on schedule, so I feel better now.

Yikes! I'm 13 weeks, I can just barely button a couple pairs of jeans, but it's really uncomfortable. It's probably not obvious that I'm pregnant to someone who doesn't know me but for anyone who does I am very obviously much larger around the middle than pre-pg.

Edited to add that I said "yikes" because I feel like I'm growing SO FAST all of a sudden. I don't think there's anything wrong with not showing until later in the pregnancy!

I'm with you and I'm only 7 weeks!!

I started showing at 11 weeks. However, I still feel like I'm in the "ambiguously overweight" stage of being pregnant, where people are still hesitant to ask me whether I am expecting

My 8th graders were discussing my possible pregnancy by 12 weeks...but I had A LOT of IVF bloat.

KMB7 · February 2010

I had a lot of IF drugs bloat, very narrow hips and started showing early. Strangers were asking me at 12 weeks. I think I'm one of the early ones.

njnov03bride · February 2010

My hs students were discussing me at about 8-9 weeks, but that was due to IVF bloat. I am 16 weeks now and have a little pooch and am very comfortable wearing maternity clothes. BTW-maternity clothes def make you look more pg than you are.

Don't worry about not showing enough yet-we all will soon! Good luck.

I was in maternity pants full time by 11.5w and at 13w my coworkers began to notice. I think most of it is still gas and bloat, but I'm also noticeably pregnant. That said, I'm only 5 ft and I've had 4 previous m/cs - I think I was destined to show early.

It was noticable at 11 weeks for me. But, I had a TON of IVF bloat, and had no abdominal fat to speak of.

By 21 weeks, people thought I was due reasonably soon. I carry big.

At about 10 weeks

I think around 15/16 weeks is when it was a pretty noticeable bump, maybe not to strangers but definitely to myself, DH and close family. I bought a belly band around 17 weeks and am now in maternity pants (much more comfortable!) I remember at 16 weeks I got upset because I went to the dentist and had to tell them I was pg with twins and the hygienist was like, "And you're 16 weeks?! You're tiny!!!" Needless to say, it worried me quite a bit but both babies are growing right on schedule!

With my 1st set of twins (also first pregnancy), I started showing around 18 weeks. I was bloated before then, but it was actually a real baby-belly starting at week 18ish.

This time, I'm already starting to show! I'm almost 10 weeks and already in maternity pants full time! Small belly, but definitely there. It's going to be a LONG pregnancy!

ZaIrery · February 2010

I had a pretty flat belly to start with, so I noticed a bump right away at around 12 weeks (although, to be honest, it could have been gas!!) People really started noticing at around 15 weeks.

With my oldest, a single baby, I didn't show until I was about 5 months. With the trio I was in mat clothes at 10-12 weeks.
