For moms of 4 +

When did you feel the baby move? And how far along were you before you started showing?

I've read that moms of more than one or two show much earlier than first time moms, but.. this is ridiculous. I am already in maternity clothes and I am just three months pregnant!
I've also gained like 10 lbs

And I've read that the more kids you have, the sooner you feel the baby move. I SWEAR I can feel something going on in there and it is not gas.

I'm not sure exactly how many weeks I am(somewhere between 2- 3 months) , and I only found out just over 2 weeks ago, but I am showing already. When I was pregnant with Sarah, I showed very early too.
Now I'm sure, some people who didn't know me would think it could be a little pot belly or something.

With my 4th pregnancy I was only about 12 weeks along when I had to start wearing maternity clothes... I just couldn't get my own clothes on anymore and I had pushed it to the limit.
It was odd though because I didn't feel baby move until much later into the pregnancy.

I am only on baby #2, and by the time I was 3 months pregnant, I was wearing maternity clothes a lot of the time, especially the pants/shorts. I grew pretty fast with this one, and I know I felt this baby move sooner than I did Emily, too. So I am sure you are feeling your baby and showing if all of that happened to me with this pregnancy.

I'm pretty sure I felt this baby move by 12 or 13 weeks. I actually gained the most weight and the fastest with my first because I was stupid and thought I could eat as much as I wanted But I've been wearing maternity pants for a very, very long time now! I know I was wearing some maternity jeans in early April. (Of course I can't begin to fit into that pair now!)

With my second pregnancy (miscarriage) I showed right away.

With this one, I started showing right away too, but then I got sick and lost weight. I was feeling them around 12ish weeks.

I felt Kiera around 12 or 13 weeks. I don't remember when I started wearing maternity clothes. Around 3 or 4 months along.

With this one (#3) I started to show right away and was wearing maternity clothes also by 3 months!

I didn't feel the baby move any sooner though, It was still around 20 weeks.

But for Moms of 4+ .... I don't know how you do it!!!!!

Honestly Josie.. I don't know how we do it either.

Thanks ladies, I feel better now LOL I mean.. I'm sorry you all got so big so fast, but I do feel better that I am showing and no longer think I'm imagining the movements.
