11 and a half weeks with a bump that looks like 5 months!!

I'm 11 weeks and 3 days and i am really big!! My bump looks like i'm 5 months gone already?! I am going to have my 1st scan on the 16th Feb. I am having baby no 4 but with all the others i never showed early, i know that the more babies you have the bigger they are but i have had a bump for a while now too, i started to change pretty much from when i found out? I'm just thinking that i could be having twins due to me being sooooo big and showing so early? My husband is tall but i don't think that it would cause me to show so early?? Has anyone else had a big bump so early and they have been having twins or is it just that with baby no 4 it could be just 1 big baby???

I have been big at times (I am 13 weeks now) but I have been told it is just bloating. Pregnancy slows down your digestive system. I am told that women do not generally show until around 16 weeks? However it is said that if you show early then you could be having twins or more.... I think the best thing to do is perhaps talk to your midwife or wait until you have your scan!
Hi, i have my scan on the 16th feb and i really can't wait!! I'm so excited to find out, the time is just dragging on so slow and i wish it would hurry up!!! lol...

I had at first put how big i was down to digestive issues and constipation (sorry for the details) lol... I'm 12 weeks tomorrow and i am even bigger!! Can't put it down to those issues anymore, lol...

Everytime i look at myself in the mirror i van't believe how big i am!?

Roll on the 16th!!!! xx

hey all! I have got back from my first midwife appointment today. I am 11 weeks today and she said I have got a little bump already, which has put my mind at rest as I thought I was piling on the weight and have nothing to show for my pregnancy! I also heard the heartbeat which she said you often can't at 11 weeks.. me and hubby are really chuffed as we have our scan to look forward to on Friday as well!

Im 13 weeks and am very bloated, it looks like a big bump though. I only just fit in my normal trousers, im sure over the next few weeks ill have to be in maternity ones. I always thought i was starting to show but then took photos and realised i didnt. Now i cant hold my tummy in anymore and look podgy lol, great! I look more like a hippo than a pregnant woman, but i wouldnt worry about having a big bump. Mine is only the one, thank god i dont think i oculd cope with twins, god knows how women do! I praise them all! Fingers crossed for 16th for you xx

Im 12 weeks and look further gone than I am, this is my second baby and I have my scan tomoz. They say no two pregnancies are the same, I think Im holding a lot more water than last time and after having my first I didnt do any excercise so that probably doesnt help. U never know, there could be more than one especially if you have twins in the family!!! Good Luck!
