I better start coming up with how to break the news to the boss! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2nd-time-mommies-did-you-notice-things-sooner-the-second-time-around#post-343581 Tue, 16 Oct 2012 18:00:32 +0000 Honeybee 343581@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dude, the second time around I was in maternity pants at 6 weeks; there was no hiding it! We waited until 11 weeks to tell people and everyone told me they had already guessed because I was showing. I showed really early with my second pregnancy.</p> <p>I did feel DS a lot earlier, too, around 15 weeks, I think. You might be feeling gas, but you might be feeling your uterus expanding again. Uterus expansion happens a lot more quickly with subsequent pregnancies (especially ones that are close together) since the uterus is already stretched out (and yours might not have returned entirely to the pre-pregnancy size before you got pregnant again). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2nd-time-mommies-did-you-notice-things-sooner-the-second-time-around#post-343575 Tue, 16 Oct 2012 17:47:43 +0000 DpeachLu 343575@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't really know how far along I am because my menstrual cycle was kind of all over the place and the last time I had my period it only lasted about three days which is really unusual. According to that date I am ONLY 6 weeks ... I do not have my first appointment until October 30th and I will be 8 weeks by then. If my calculations are correct.</p> <p>However I feel like I already feel movement at times!? Maybe I am just crazy haha.. but I swear I do.. unless its really bad gas but I have never felt gas like this before. Also, I have a slight tummy going on already. I don't want to tell my work until around 12 weeks but I really feel like I wont be able to keep it a secret until then! </p>
