3rd Time Moms

I know they say you show earlier with each subsequent pregnancy, but I still feel like this is way too early for me to show.

Other third time moms, when did you start showing or outgrowing your clothes?

    Hello!  And Congrats!  I just found out a week ago that I'm expecting my third, too!  I, too, feel like I'm already starting to show, but it could just be major bloating, too.  I'm almost 5 weeks along, but I feel like I'm 10!

    I'm already in maternity clothes.  I had to right at 5 weeks for pants.  I've already been asked if I'm pregnant.  Sometimes the bloat makes it look like I'm in second trimester.  Fun times, eh?

    I'm buying maternity pants asap, more for comfort from boat than anything. I'm 4 and a 1/2 weeks.

    I started showing with my first at 18 or 19 weeks, my second at 14 weeks. I'm seven weeks and change now and it feels like some of my clothes are getting tighter and my stomach is definitely not as flat as it was. I'm figuring it's either bloat or weight gain from being too nauseous to work out and eating alllll the carbs.

    But I kinda figured I'd show earlier with this one...but I was thinking maybe like 12 weeks? This was based on nothing but a guess though!

    Eta: I'm seriously thinking about pulling out my maternity clothes soon. And my snoogle!

    I'm showing but I never really lost my 22wk bump from Feb. And, actually, now that I think about it, I'm showing less now at 8w2d than I was a couple of weeks ago bc the bloat has calmed down.

    When I first found out at 4 weeks the bloat was out of control and I was sure I would need maternity pants in a couple weeks. Now I am almost 8 weeks and due to a bout of serious nausea and vomiting over last week I have lost some weight and the bloat is gone. I have really noticed that my lower stomach is starting to get harder and rounder now, which is much earlier than it ever did with my previous two. I think I really started to notice stomach rounding around 12 weeks with the others. I went on a cruise at 12-13 weeks with my first and I wore a normal bikini and no one could tell a thing. I There is no way I would put on a bikini right now though! I'm guess I'll be in maternity pants by 12 weeks. After last week's puking, this week I can't keep my hands off food, so it might be sooner!

    I'm 5wks 4 days and I'm very bloated-mostly at the end of the day. I'm very petite, so any weight gain is significant. I was able to keep my pregnancy a secret until around 12 weeks with my first, maybe 10ish with my second. I'm guessing 8 this time! Honestly, I just look like I've enjoyed my summer break a little too much!

    I showed a lot faster with my 2nd than 1st, but I got pregnant 4m PP. With the 3rd it had been about 21m and I didn't start showing until 13ish weeks. I'm 6w w/#4 now and just have a tiny blump (as @skruhmin termed it) and even that just comes and goes

    My issue is the upper part of my tummy that I never really lost from a year ago so any kind of bloat really pushes it out.

    I have a small bump from the leftover kangaroo pouch looking stomach I had with my baby 10 months ago that I could never get rid of after c-section, now it looks exaggerated :/

    You definitely show sooner with subsequent pregnancies. This is my 5th baby, and my body is like, "Oh, we've done this before!" Ha!

    But wait, it is physically impossible to show this early ;)

    I kind of want to slap people who say that to subsequent preggos.  Ummmm yeah, tell that to my ever expanding waistline and ultra necessary maternity wardrobe.

    I'm 5 weeks with my third and at my lowest weight in over 2 years, and my clothes are already feeling tight.

    I'm glad I'm not alone! I wore maternity pants for the first time today at only 7w1d!! I just can't believe it! I kept telling myself, this can't be right and tried to wear my regular clothes, but it was actually painful- like I was squishing all of my internal organs.
