Has anyone noticed that they started showing much sooner with their third child? I am only 11 weeks and I feel like my jeans are already too tight. I am not a huge person to start. I weigh about 110 and I am 5'1, but I feel like I already look pregnant.

Deffinately!!! After the first your muscles are no longer connected as they were before. Once they stretch out to make room for the baby they never go back unless you have had a tummy tuck and then when you do they will reconnect the muscles that are disconnected. So with every child things get more and more stretched out internally.
It did with me too on my third, I started looking pregnant before I was three months along.
Congratulations!

OMG! I weigh just about tha same (105-110lbs.) and I'm about 5'1" too! And I'm pregnant with my third! Crazy huh? I didnt really notice that i got bigger faster, I just feel bigger now! I am at 35 weeks and I weigh about as much as I did when I had my other two! I feel BIG now! But I may have this baby soon. I really hope so! With this pregnancy my feet swelled up some and I dont fit into any of the jeans I used to fit in! Thats cuz wit my first two I could wear all my clothes up to tha day i gave birth! Really! So I know how u feel, and its normal. So dont worry! If u wanna talk...

I am pregnant with my 4th, and I didn't start showing until 22-23 weeks. I can actually still fit in my regular clothes and if I wear a long t-shirt, you would just think I had gotten a little chubby. My husband was actually worried that the baby wasn't growing because I wasn't showing and I had lost weight instead of gaining any. I am now 27 weeks and I have gained back what I lost plus 4 lbs and the baby is measuring just a few days smaller than I actually am.

Hi...
I feel your pain!!! My daughter was born in March of last year, and I am now pregnant with #2. I found out on her first birthday that I was ~6 weeks along. I could no longer comfortably fit into my jeans @ week 8... no joke!!! I was MORTIFIED! I've lost ~5 lbs (terrible morning sickness) and so it's not that I am eating a lot. I too, thought that it was crazy that I poked out so fast! With my first one, I didn't really show until I was ~36 weeks. It's almost embarrasing to tell people when I am due... They get this look in their eyes like 'oh my, you're gonna be as big as a house by then'.
Long story short, I think it's normal, but dreadful nonetheless...

So yeah, i guess that is true, and yeah i had noticed it then too. lol.

Well, it isn't necessarily you showing yet as it is you retaining fluids. I felt very uncomfortable in my regular clothes early on (and it may have just been all in my head afraid that I would hurt the baby). Knowing you are pregnant makes you more aware of your changing body.
If you are wondering if it is too soon to buy maternity clothes, then the answer is no. They say that they maternity clothes are for 1-9 months of pregnancy. Be comfortable!

I understand your hectic, yet i'm specific your toddler is merely high quality interior you. and next week you will get to hearken to the pulse so as which will placed your strategies comfortable. attempt to not rigidity. stable success.

Absolutely. The abdominal muscles are not as strong and are already stretched. Therefore with each consecutive pregnancy you will show sooner.;
