Showing Already ??

Hi All

Just a quick question. Im already showing and quite noticable aswell. I already have a baby bump and im only 10 weeks pregnant at the moment. Im 18 years old and wanted to know if it is normal to show this early as i have never heard of anyone showing this early ??

Not wanting to freak you out but always be prepared for the idea of more than one lol.

However I wouldn't freak out too much I hear a lot of women can get a bit of bloating in those early weeks. So It could just be that Either way thats so exciting. Gotta love a bump

Hehe theres no history in my family either but both my sister and I got twins within a year of each other. Hows that for random!

When you get to 100 posts you'll get to see the photo gallery theres a thread for bump pics. There have been a lot of early bump pics in there so I think it's normal. Everyone's experience is different.

I might be wrong here as I've never had twins but I would doubt you'd be able to tell if it's one or two by the heartbeat.

And also, it's pretty rare to hear the HB before 14 or so weeks. My MW wouldn't even put the doppler near me until 13 weeks cause she didn't want me to get upset if they couldn't find a HB.

Yeah I definately noticed and so did others a bump at 10 weeks my friend was the same I think body shape has to do with it (short midsection) and if you normally have a flat tum it's more noticeable even if it is only to you. love your bump!

Bubie-I heard the heartbeat at 10 weeks with my own doppler at home and midwife confirm it the next week but usally 12 weeks is the norm-goodluck hope she finds yours it a reassuring sound!

Yeah I'm starting to show but this is my second. It can vary for people and bloating is also common.

Also as AmStaff said, be prepared that there will be a pretty good chance that you may not hear the heartbeat, often it's not until the 14 week mark or so, again though it can vary. it would be very surprising also if she can tell it's twins of a doppler, not long until your scan though!

true about the heartbeats Kate, but man you were lucky not to get bad MS. i had it really bad!

Congrats Bubie!

dont worry bubie!!! i starting showing about 8 weeks which i thought was rediculous and strange but like everyone has said, everyone is different!

i am now 22 weeks and people are still gobsmacked at my size but i have just been massive the whole way through. the questions like 'are you sure there is just one in there' have finally stopped though thank goodness!

and my MW says there is absolutely nothing wrong, shes normal size and everything so if anyone gives you grief to just tell them to bugger off LOL

With my first i started showing at 10-11 weeks and had a noticeable bump by 12 weeks. I think it was around the same this time.

I'm 'showing' at 5 weeks. However, it's caused by bloat, constipation (tmi) and eating too much. The hormones made me do it!
