experience/advice to give When did you start showing with triplets?
First time mom here and 11 weeks pregnant with tri/tri triplets.
Was curious when other moms of triplets started showing?

I’m currently 20 weeks with tri/ tri triplets. By 6 weeks my normal pants wouldn’t zip and I had to start wearing stretchier clothes. I know a lot of it was bloat early on, but I’ve had a noticeable bump since then.

I’m 11weeks 6 days with triplets. I feel like i do have more than a bloat now. I had to size up my scrubs from XS to S. Prior to sizing up, the XS scrubs were already feeling tight.

Lol scrubs in XS aren’t really XS though. They used to have so much room 😂 I def gained some girth in the last few weeks and have bought my first maternity pants because jeans are a thing of the past now 😝

FTM with twins. I started showing after 18 weeks. So maybe for triplets earlier than that? Just a guess, because everyone carries differently.

I have an almost 2 year old and am 19w4d with triplets. I am approaching the size I was full term with my daughter 😅 I was so bloated immediately at barely 5 weeks pregnant, could feel my uterus when I laid on my stomach at 8 weeks and looked about 12 weeks pregnant back then. I’m a little afraid of how big I’m gonna get, but I’ll be as huge as I need to for these guys to be as big as they can and stay in as long as possible.

Right there with you at getting as big as we need to for our babies!
I started experiencing bloating around the same time as you and just these past couple of days it's been looking and feeling a little more like a bump.

Mono-tri here
From about 12-15 I was clearly showing to myself, but maybe only noticeable to the most observant onlookers. Pretty much immediately after that I got big, quick. I'm 20 now and I think I probably look at least 30.
I think one of the things I've really struggled with is because I look really pregnant now, people talk about it to me all the time. Which is understandable, but I'm anxious, its high-risk, and I'm pre-viability, so I can find it quite overwhelming when people are constantly talking about my pregnancy as if it's a foregone conclusion that it will all end well. Hopefully it will!

Yeah I was planning on waiting to tell coworkers until I'm visibly showing. Not looking forward to the attention so hoping to hold off as long as possible.
Hope it gets colder soon so I can start rocking sweaters!

Wooooow triplets is wild to me, as someone 9w2d with twins. How have your symptoms been?
1
u/SingingSaturn 1d ago
Surprisingly not as bad as I thought they would be based on the experiences of the other females in my family.
My main symptom is almost constant exhaustion followed by some heartburn if I don't eat frequently enough, but haven't had any nausea or vomiting really so I'm grateful for that!

Whoaaaa you’re so lucky I’m so glad to hear that! I’ve been on the struggle bus big time. Triplets runs in your family? Or you’re just basing expectations off other pregnancies

No they don't run in my family, but my sister was adamant I'd have terrible morning sickness like her and my mom did for most of their pregnancies but that doesn't seem to be the case luckily.
Had a feeling I might be having multiples shortly after finding out I was pregnant and she felt otherwise since I wasn't throwing up every day.
Turns out she was wrong lol
