With your first two pregnancies the muscles of the abdoman were stretched very much and now your growing uterus can easily protrude because the muscles aren't able to keep things nice and tight. It's perfectly normal.

I was exactly the same with this one as i have 2 already and looked about 6 months by the time i was 3 mnths!! I now have 2 wks left and look like I'm ready to bust!! Unless its twins it'll be the extra weight you didnt even realise you had or you could just have a lot of water surrounding the baby - nothing to worry about!! good luck!!

with my first pregnancy, no one could tell until i was eight months pregnant. i could wear my jeans and just remove the top button. with my second pregnancy, by five months, people could see that i was visibly pregnant, as i was getting rounder and bigger.
my third pregnancy, currently 17 weeks as well, at two months, i was already big!!! I think it's normal, the body has already adjusted to previous baby and muscles tend to stretch more easily i guess. There's a plus to this: people let you sit in the bus or the tube even though you are not so tired...! ha ha ha. good luck and enjoy your pregnancy and your future baby!

The more kids you have, the less stomach muscles you have and the more you show!
A friend of mine had her 3rd recently. When she was 4 months pregnant people were asking could they book meetings with her for the following week, or would she be on maternity leave by then!!

Not only are your stomach muscles already stretched out from the first 2 pregnancies, but you might be bloated. I had a belly from 8 weeks on because I was so bloated and gassy! I wouldn't worry about it too much. Just enjoy your belly!
Good luck!

frequently you do no longer instruct till you're around 20 or so weeks, yet for all women human beings pregnancoes are diverse. The extra pregnancies you have the extra your physique will exchange and you will start to word issues you in no way observed till now. The bloating can purely be a sprint water weight you're protecting die to a upward push of hormones, or you will desire to easily purely be showing a sprint previously than widespread. i'm particular everuthing is super yet be sure you touch your obgyn a.s.a.p. just to substantiate you're healthful and infant is healthful. suited of success!

Water retention is a possibility. Do NOT use diuretics, but corn silk tea might help. If it is a true weight gain, it has to do with how much you eat. Eat more healthful food, fruits and vegetables, and less junk. A few nuts are all right, but they are very rich, so should be used in moderation, (preferably raw)

I am pregnant with my third as well and I began obviously showing at about 10-12 weeks. My doctor told me that it is normal for women to show sooner in subsequent pregnancies.

You body has done this 2 times before so it is ready..the muscles have been stretched and you tend to show much faster with your 2nd and 3rd kids.

This is your third baby, so your hormones and evrything else are much quicker to change. That, and your body is already prepared for this pregnancy, unlike your first, and possibly your second as well. Don't worry, you won't get to be as big as a house.
