The more children you have the more the muscles in your stomach lose their elasticity if that makes any sense so some people will show earlier the more children the have some may not.

Good luck and congrats. :D

Your tummy looks adorable! As long as you're eating healthy and not completely sedentary, you're tummy is probably growing at the perfect rate for your baby. Also, you might gain more now and less later, just depending on your baby's unique needs. My friend was really upset that she put on so much weight her second trimester, but then it turned out that her little bump grew hardly at all the last trimester. Congratulations!

Thanks you guys!! You've made me feel a lot better. :)

I am also 7 weeks today and showing alot!! People can definately notice and I have to already wear maternity clothes, not just pants but tops too or have enough room for my tummy.... not just bloating though...... so I am wondering the same thing ... why? I am normally 5'1 and around 155 also but I have gained five pounds already! I am wondering if I am having twins also.... I will find out this Thurs........

Let me know what you find out too! Good luck!

I know you've already had a few people answer you but I thought I'd chime in anyways :)

I think you both (7 week ladies who are showing quickly) sound pretty normal. I can tell you from experience that you definitely show much sooner with each pregnancy. Especially if you didn't mc. You mentioned that you've mc twice, but have you had a pregnancy that you were able to take to term? I am pregnant with my 4th baby (13 weeks) and you can definitely tell. My boss at work could tell at 8 weeks...I could tell about 6 weeks. I tend to gain more weight during my first trimester (6lbs thus far) not so much during the 2nd tri and the rest during the 3rd tri. Obviously, we are all different and I really wouldn't worry about it. yeah, you could be pregnant with multiples, but I don't think you have anything serious to worry about.

You look great! Good luck!

i'll join in with this one. Don't worry one little bit. I got married at 8 weeks pregnant and had to wear a corset to hide my bump as no one was meant to know. I am now 14 weeks and it has slowed down. Your bump is a wonderful thing - just embrase it :)
