When did you get your bump?

[first_time_at_38]

Hello ladies,

Hi, I'm new here! I just found out today at 5w6d that I am carrying twins and I am simultaneously ecstatic and in shock.

My pre-pregnancy clothes don't fit, mainly because I'm so bloated and tops don't fit because the booby fairy came early for me. I will have to shop for new bras soon.

Just wondering when everyone who is expecting twins actually felt like they were looking pregnant rather than just bloated and round.

Thanks in advance!

With my twins, I was in maternity pants pretty early on -- mayb 8wks or so? But it was my 2nd pregnancy, so I'm not too sure if it was due to the twins or to it being the second time around.

I was in maternity clothes by 13weeks and started to really look pg around 20weeks rather than just totally plump!

Congratulations!! Hope you have a healthy, wonderful pregnancy! My story is very similar to pp. I was in maternity clothes by 12 weeks or so. I mostly looked chubby at first- by 20 weeks I looked very pg. It seemed like my belly grew everyday.

I'm a small person and was told about 11 weeks that it was a joke to try and hide it anymore. I think I was in maternity pants about 10 weeks. Congrats!

Thanks, ladies! I'm short - 5'2" so I wonder if that has any bearing on how quickly I will be showing.

it was my second pregnancy and At 6weeks I looked bloated and wore baggy shirts to hide it. I thought it was normal to show fast with your second(we found out it was twins at 8weeks) by 12 weeks I had a pregnant belly but a small one, at 16 weeks I was very pregnant looking and then looked like I was about 7-8 months by 22 weeks lol. I held off from maternity clothes until about 26 weeks( did the hair tie on the jeans thing and wore flowing shirts)

I was showing by 12 weeks, but this was also my 3rd pregnancy. Here is a picture of what I looked like at 14 weeks. BTW once I started to show, my bump grew crazy fast...

You look great!!

I was already plump so now I just feel like I look fatter.

Right now I am just able to wear one of my pair of elastic waist shorts (thank God I work from home!) and loose-fitting shirts.

I am 6w4d so hoping to hold out for at least a couple of more weeks before shopping, or at least until I see the heartbeats (next sonogram is July 23). I guess I am a little superstitious.
