Hey ladies, I am 7wks 2d with twins. We also have a five year old so I have been pregnant before which in turn means my uterus is stretched. :) My question is when did you start showing and were out of regular clothes? I have already gone up one size and now my pants are tight. I would really love your advice!!

I was showing at six weeks. People have told me that is crazy but I am telling you that I was bigger at six weeks. I have lost weight and am now 21 weeks and have not gained a single pound my entire pregnancy, so the belly was not from me it was my babies. I also gave up and went into maternity pants very early (8 weeks maybe). If you are at all uncomfotable , you start wearing maturnity pants... you will feel so much better. You are having two not one, and you will grow al lot faster this pregnancy than you did last. Good luck, I hope everything goes great for you.

I went into Mat pants at about 9 weeks, and totally popped at 10. It wasn't fat as I also lost weight my first trimester. It's having TWINS!

I was lucky I suppose. I didn't start showing until around 5-6 months along. No one believed me that I was having twins until I actually had them. My advice about the clothes is that when I did start showing and running out of clothes I borrowed my brothers jeans (my husbands on the larger side and i'd never fit his clothes even at full term). When I couldn't fit those I went to maternity dresses and overalls (overalls are great... one size fits all). hope this helps

you could tell i was pregnant by about 12 weeks. I am 6 ft tall though, so it's probably a bit different for shorter women.

I started wearing maternity pants around 9 weeks. I could have just gone up a size in regular clothes, but I bought the kind with the big band so I could wear them early on. I don't know if I would say I was "showing" though - I think that early on it was just bloating. Of course *I* thought I looked pregnant by 12 weeks, but I'm sure other people thought I just put on a few pounds. I don't think it was until close to 20 weeks that people started commenting.

I started to show at 19 or 20 weeks. i am still able to wear most of my regular "feeling fat" clothing, but purchased maternity jeans and bigger tops.
