    Default So, who's starting to show?

    I am 13.5 weeks and boy are people noticing my belly starting to poke out. I have gained 5-6 pounds which is right on track with my weight gain calculator. Anyone else noticably showing yet? This is my first.

    This is my first also. I started to show at about 9 weeks and I'm 11.5 today. It's not much but it's noticible to me since I can't button my normal jeans anymore. I've since moved to maternity jeans as even the hairband around the button wasn't keeping the pants up anymore. I haven't gained weight, in fact due to the 24/7 morning sickness I've lost 23 lbs. But what extra weight I do have has shifted to my belly.

    This is my first, too, and at 13 weeks I am definitely different. It's twins and all the pregnancy books said I would be showing a lot faster than this. I haven't gained weight, or rather I lost 10 pounds at first and am almost back to my starting weight, but my tummy is starting to poke out a bit. Until this week I've just felt wider and it's been hard to distinguish between actual uterus growth and bloating, though! It's awful. By the end of the day I feel twice as big as in the morning and I just can't keep my pants buttoned. Cutting out pieces of the waistband of my pants and sewing elastic in their place has helped.
    I'm glad I'm starting to show because people tend to be nicer to obviously pregnant women. I wish I'd had an official badge on my jacket or something during all these weeks of horrendous morning sickness. A couple of people spontaneously offered me their seats in the crowded train this week because I guess I looked like I was going to throw up and that made them notice my small bump.

    Ok, I started this blog exactly one week ago. I think my belly has doubled in size since then! Well, maybe not literally but it sure is popping out quickly now. I was able to fit snuggly into my regular clothes last week. Today I have to go buy new pants because NOTHING fits! Here we go I guess....

    Just thought it would be funny to bring up this topic again now that we're in the home stretch... Here's me yesterday, one day short of 33 weeks.
    I hope all the May mammas are doing well. This board is quiet lately.

    That is a great idea, Omb! Here's what I looked like at 31 weeks. I'm a day short of 33 weeks and Dustin's popped out a lot but I don't have the pics uploaded to my comp yet.
