Has anyone else found that their 'bump' starts much earlier in a third pregnancy?

I am only 7 weeks but already clothes feel tighter on the bottom of my stomach and when I lay down a little bump can be felt easily, it just seems so early.

Everyone is different, but I have heard that the more pregnancies you have the earlier you see a bump, it's because the muscles have already been stretched before.

Mine started so much earlier in my second. It's because your muscles have been weakened from previous pregnancies. Nothing to worry about... just a little trickier to hide if you are choosing to save your news until after the 12 week scan!

Best of luck for a healthy 9 months!

Could you be carrying twins? When I was pregnant with my twins I had a proper bump at 12 weeks and I felt my clothes started getting tight from about 6 weeks x

They did a dating scan and said it was a singleton pregnancy but this is my third pregnancy after 1 c section at 38 weeks and one at 26 weeks.
