Of course it's possible! All this "bloat" talk makes me laugh. Your uterus is expanding, and it's perfectly logical for you to look bigger than your pre-pregnancy size. Especially since you've been pregnant before-your body is already "stretched out" from doing it before. I'm on #4 and at the beginning of my 16th week I'm sporting a pretty awesome little bump! I noticed a big difference between my week 6 and week 10 baby bump pictures(take a look on this website here), my lower belly was a lot more round. I haven't been able to wear my pre-pregnancy pants since 8 weeks(and I am not a large woman). I definitely attribute it to having been pregnant before, though. My first pregnancy took me longer to show. My third pregnancy I actually thought I might be having twins because I started to show so soon, but like I said, I was just "stretchy..."

I'm 10 weeks with my second and I definitely have a teensy bump too! Definitely to be expected during a second/third pregnancy, since your stomach muscles are not nearly as good at holding things in as they used to be!

With my second pregnacy i was showing very early. I was wearing maternity clothes ib my first trimester. People where asking if i was pregnant at only six weeks pregnant. I am sure it wasnt the baby popping out, but i was bloated and swollen in that area. Im currently six months pregnant and look like im aat least eight months.im only small framed..

Not really. It's just bloating & organs starting to shift. At 10 wks, your uterus hadn't even risen above your pelvis & your baby is an inch long. With my 2nd, I was in maternity pants at 7 wks I was so bloated. However, by 14 wks or so, it subsided & my "bump" went away. The real bump didn't start to pop until the 3rd trimester. I'm only 5'1, so if anyone was going to show early, it would be me! Because you've been pregnant before, your body will take on the round shape of pregnancy sooner, however it isn't baby that's causing it at this point. Congratulations!

Depends how little you are, if your really little and thin then It's possible, I am a little bigger and my last pregnancy you couldn't even tell until 26weeks I never got to wear maternity clothes ;-( Enjoy your bump x
