Hi,

New on here and only posted once or twice so far.

I am 6 weeks pregnant with no. 4 and apart from the worst sickness so far my belly is already huge and fairly noticeable.......

I know I showed much earlier with my third as body used to stretching by now but not this early!!

Anyone else had this?

Oh heck! Sorry, not got to #4 yet but am TTC. I showed at 9 weeks with #3, it was really obvious. People kept asking me if I was pg so we just had to tell our other two children way before we wanted to.

Then later on, people were convinced I was having twins. In the end, I wasn't actually that big but everything was just on show really early then it sort of slowed down nearer the end.

Sorry, I'm not much help but I do sympathise.

I'm pg with no4 too and was also showing by 6 weeks. Now 15 weeks and very pronounced bump! No hiding things now but I've told everyone now and I'm embracing the bump by wearing dresses to show it off rather than trying to cover up with big cardigans like I did in first trimester. I dread to think how big I'm going to get!!

I am pregnant with no 5 and had an obvious pregnancy bump by 6 wks with this one and number 3 & 4. Don'y worry though because my bump never got that big with number 3 or this one (now 35 wks). In my experience big at the beginning doesn't mean big at the end.

That's encouraging nar4!
I'm quite impressed at still being able to fit in some normal jeans at 15+6 so hopefully you are right

I am 7+5 and can barely fit in normal jeans - hmmm!!

I also feel absolutely awful with sickness and dizziness everyone minute of the day. I cannot decide if it really worse than with all the others or just that I am so much more tired with three older ones to look after.

Any ideas or experience needed!
