When did twin moms start showing

Hey ladies,
I'm 13 weeks with our twins. (FTM) and I'm starting to get nervous bc all of these pictures I am seeing of twin pregnancies are women who are definitely showing at 13 weeks. I'm very small, 4'11, 104 lbs... I know this is silly and I'm being ridiculous, but just to ease my mind... When did y'all start showing significantly?

Re: When did twin moms start showing

  • The day I got pregnant.

    Kidding. ;) In all seriousness, I was showing noticably, to the point of co-workers starting to ask (and they had obviously been eyeing me for a while by then), at 13 weeks.  I'm 5'5, and was 130lbs (size 4) at the time. I bet you'll find it'll be quick!

  • I started showing around 11-12 weeks. I was shocked because with my previous singleton pregnancy I didn't show until around 19 weeks. But I'm a STM, so that may be why too. Also I'm 5' 3" 125 pp. I'm sure you'll wake up one day fairly soon and wonder where your bump came from! Enjoy it now because I'm 26 1/2 weeks now and feel huge.

  • I was 108 pre twins. Here is my 23,25, and 34 week photos. I didn't even start showing until week 24 and this is my second pregnancy. I never got huge but I had 38 inches and 9.5 pounds worth of baby! I suppose it depends on how you carry.

  • I did not really start showing until closer to 18 weeks, I am not tiny but I have a longer torso so I think that is why.

  • I started showing in the 17 or 18 week range, and its my first pregnancy too.  I think I had a bump before I even got back to my prepregnancy weight bc of all the morning sickness!
    Good luck to you!

  • I started showing around 13 weeks.  Another friend of mine who had twins started showing around 19-20 weeks. Everyone is different.

  • If you knew me, I looked heavier by 11-12 weeks. If you didn't know me, I didn't look pregnant until closer to 20w. The twins were my second pg.

  • this is my 1st pregnancy, and I started showing around 10-12 weeks (I put on about 20 extra pounds during months of fertility treatments, so that probably didn't help things...).  We started taking weekly "bump" pics at 14 weeks, because by then it was definitely noticeable that it was a bump and not just fat belly!

  • I know how you feel, but just in the opposite way. I started showing big and early and definitely had a bump by 13 weeks but I felt like all I was hearing from other twin moms is that they didn't start showing until way later. One of my good friends was about 5 months ahead of me with her twins and when I told her the news she insisted I wouldn't start showing until 17 or 18 weeks because that's when she did.

    Every pregnancy is different so don't worry about it. Sometimes it has to do with your build but sometimes not. Everyone is surprised I'm showing as much as I am because I'm tall but I'm also naturally thin so who knows. I talked to my mom about it and she showed big and early with both of her singleton pregnancies.

    Congrats and good luck with everything!

  • At 13 weeks it was noticeable but I was able to hide my belly until about 17w. After that everyone could tell.

  • Probably around 20 weeks. With my previous pregnancy I didn't get a bump at all. I am overweight so I never looked pregnant. This time I got a bump around 20 weeks and it keeps growing! I guess second pregnancy and twins will do that!
