showing sooner with 3rd or 4th baby!!

Hi ladies so I was wondering how many of you have grown a baby bump sooner with baby 3 or 4?? Im asking because im only 13wks and 3days and look like im about 5 mnths and i have 4 kids but this is my 5th pregnancy so im wondering how many other of you have shown so early :) Thank u in advance <3

P.S a very annoying family member who thinks shes a doctor...lol...said 2 me its impossible for me 2 be showing so much and her nothing at all if we are due 2 days apart but its her first pregnancy!!!

I agree u show sooner with each pregnancy, but I would say after the first trimester your stomach will start looking different like more hard or rounded, it just changes shape at least mine did,

P.S. I just read your comment that is just a few comments above mine - wear maternity jeans with a full panel if you feel fat. It will round out your tummy and give you a more definitive bump.

Pregnant with #4 here and I look about 5-6 months pregnant. I'm "cutely pregnant" but way sooner than expected! Your family member who is also pregnant shouldn't pass judgment. She's probably just jealous she doesn't have a totally awesome and cute baby bump yet!

Yes its normal to show earlier if this is not your 1st pregnancy. Its her first so her abdominal muscles are tighter than yours (no offense) so her uterus is being held down by the muscles. This is my fourth baby and at 3 months i looked like i was around 5 or 6.

This is baby number 4/pregnancy 6 for me and during my first pregnancy I fit in my normal skinny jeans until about week 21-22.  This time I am at 14 weeks and look almost full term with my first.  Each time I get bigger faster.  First baby started showing like I said at 21-22 weeks, 2nd baby at about 12 weeks, 3rd baby was a late first trimester d&c for missed m/c but was already showing, 4th baby started showing...well I can't even say start because I was following up the d&c only a few months after with him, but I got HUGE! Baby #5 was very early m/c and baby #6 (4) I look very pregnant.  I think the skin just never went back to its beautiful start and knows exactly what to do!

I would say in the very first month (had nooo clue I was preggers btw) I was piggin out on junk really :-/ but then my appetite slowly decreased,vomitting increased Nd I lost a bit of weight. But my tummy looks very pregnant and round. Def noticeably pregnant. I ran into a co worker who just now told everyone she was pregnant (get this.. 5 months along!) & she has just a slight (& I do mean slight) baby bump. She is really petite though & its her very first pregnancy & baby. But thanks for the congrats & congrats right back at ya! *wink*

3rd baby here and showing sooner this time around. I took week by week pictures last time and the pictures side by side for this pregnancy show my belly is a few weeks ahead. I've also known several women who started to show right away with their 3+ pregnancy.

This is my 4th baby and I look about 5 months pregnant already and I'm just now 12 weeks lol. This is about as big as I got with my last baby because he dropped at 29 weeks and was born at 35. I think I'm going to be HUGE by the time I have this little one.
