YES!!!
I am having my third any day now and back in the early days I showed pretty much from the start! I had to buy maternity clothes at 8 weeks and everyone was convinced I was expecting more than one! The first scan showed there was only one and then people said "they can hide behind each other", so we kept an open mind until my second scan at 20 weeks. By this time I looked more like 36wks! I was bigger than my friend who has due in 2 wks time! I was actually her birthing partner when she had her little girl, 6lbs 7oz. The midwives all kept saying " we'll see you in a couple of weeks then" and I was thinking NO! I've still got 4 months to go!
My second scan confirmed there is just one, rather large girlie in there! She's heading for the 10lb mark!!! My first was 7 11 and second was 8 12.
After 30 weeks I slowed down a bit and look about right now.
Some people said it's because once you've stretched it all twice it's a lot looser than before, so shows earlier with the third!
Another theory is my first 2 were boys, little tight bumps at the front, didn't look preggy from the back, this ones a girl so it's different. I know it's definately been a harder pregnancy than the boys, more sickness, more aches and pains, but that could be because I'm older! (and because she's HUGE!)
What ever the reason, as long as baby is healthy (and you of course) who cares how big you are!!!!
Good luck with it all...Take care

I was obviously bigger at 6 weeks with my second one. And the reason I know this is because about 6 months before I started eating really well, and exercising (a little), but I knew right away. So yes, dont get discouraged. You probably are getting bigger quicker. I am 5 months now and I look like I did when I was 7 months with my daughter. It is fun to show quicker. You can get into maternity clothes quicker and everything.

I know with my second I have had a bump since about 6 weeks. It may have been more bloating then, but now at 12 weeks, it's clearly a baby bump. I think it's definitely possible. Get those maternity clothes out girl!

I have heard that after your first baby, you show a lot sooner with the other little ones, so yes, it is possible for you to notice a bump

I always joke that I started showing with my third about 3 months before I got pregnant :)
Seriously though, with my first I started wearing maternity clothes at 20 weeks, with my second at 12 weeks and with my third at about 10 weeks.
Congratulations! I hope you enjoy being pregnant as much as I did. It is uncomfortable sometimes, but such a wonderful thing.

Yes, it's possible. Apparently, the bump shows earlier with every baby. And tell your husband to leave your tummy alone! Tell him he's getting a pot belly! lol. And I mean, hey, if it's just fat and not the baby, at least you've got the energy resources to get you and bubby-boo through the pregnancy!?!

Yes you can be showing. I think you show quicker with the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and so on. I started showing at 12 weeks with my 1st

Yes especially this being your 3rd baby. You will probably feel him/her move sooner then you did with your other 2 as well.
Congrats!!!

yes, your body "remembers", your muscles are looser. So yes, you can show a little.
