Showing at 11 weeks is anyone showing or has show this early?

People come wanting to rub my stomach and they always ask, " how far along are you?" I respond," 11 weeks" their face expression be priceless makes me feel bad about my weight gain I hate that so much. They then ask, " am I having twins" I reply, "yes" then they respond, " that explains why your so big" I hate when people say I'm big I'm not suppose to show yet. Everybody is different I can't help that I'm small and you can tell I'm pregnant already sigh. How can I deal with this? I have 29 weeks to go. I think my bump is cute I just hate being called big or fat or huge when really I'm just pregnant ??????

  • This happened to me. I just went with it as there is nothing I could do. People were always commenting on my size. Thankfully I stayed pretty consistent from 10w until 17w or so.

  • I needed maternity pants at 10 weeks.  People were (and continue to be) surprised that I'm as big as I am until I tell them I'm having twins.  It's just something you'll have to get used to.  Wait until they start asking you if you did IVF!

  • I'm pretty sure I needed maternity pants around 9 weeks or so.  I was showing for sure!  It's my first pregnancy, so I definitely had all of those same questions and looks of astonishment.

  • I'll be a 11 wks on Friday and I have a bump. This is my third pregnancy. But my first twin pregnancy. People comments suck! Don't listen you are make a comfortable home for your babies.
  • I was showing at 11 weeks. If you look at those cute pictures of full term women on pinterest I look like them and I'm now only 19 weeks. Its way crazy how many people comment on my "huge belly". Um thanks?

  • Yes you can show early I was showing the same time as you as well and I was getting all types of questions. I did feel like I was a fat girl at first but it will slow down eventually and then you might pick it back up in the last trimester. I am 4 1/2 months and most people say I look small to be carrying two, but at 11 weeks I look big they say. Just have to ignore it and keep those babies healthy.

  • I'm 12 weeks and definitely have a belly. I'm self conscious about it right now so I wear my coat at work most of the day or a long scarf. I know, I need to embrace it. And I will. ;)
  • Try to remember that every pregnancy and pregnant mom is different, twins or not. I was not really showing until 14 weeks with my twins boys and never truly looked like I was carrying twins. A friend of mine was pregnant at the same time and was only carrying a single child. Everyone always asked her if she was expecting twins and she said, no but she is. They looked at us like we were crazy. Just try to enjoy your pregnancy and everything that comes with it.

  • I'm almost 11 weeks and I couldn't button my pants this morning so I'm rocking a belly band.  I haven't gained a pound yet, but my stomach feels huge.  I'm still trying to hide it, so it has been fun trying to pick stomach hiding clothes in the morning.  I'm heavier to begin with, so I think I can pass it off as just looking like I'm gaining weight.

  • i am showing so much i have had several people come up and touch my belly (gross, please ask first!!!!) and ask when I am due.  I am as big as I was at 20w with my singleton pregnancy and i am only 12w today.  I've been pretty big for about 3 weeks now- enough so I had to tell work 2 weeks ago, I couldn't hide it much longer! It's crazy.  And I would say a lot of it is bloat or from the fertility drugs (IVF), but it hasn't gone down and it is pretty hard, and round.  It isn't just a pudge, it is actually rounded and very high- right below my boobs it started sticking out pretty good weeks ago.  My sisters had not seen me in like a month and were in shock at how big I am!

  • I hate to say it, but get used to it.....for some reason people think it's socially acceptable to comment on a pregnant woman's appearance....esp. if she's having twins! You'll get all kinds of other crazy comments and questions too....it's all part of the fun. Stick out tongue

    But anyway, congrats on your pregnancy! Smile
