I didn't get rid of my tummy from DD but it definitely wasn't sticking out like it is now! It looks like I'm about 6-7 months pregnant. Not 3! Anyone else??????? My mom said that's this is typical.

I'm on my third and had people comment at 12 weeks about how I was showing already.  Yeah, some of it was bloat, but a lot of it is muscle/uterine memory.

Totally normal.  With your first, your ab muscles are stronger, pretty much your entire midsection is fighting against your bump, once it's lost the war, it pretty much gives up sooner with subsequent pg's.
