Arms, legs, face, etc. are smaller though so it's hard to say. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-2-bigger-did-you-even-out#post-2252572 Sun, 02 Aug 2015 15:18:36 +0000 travelgirl1 2252572@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a much bigger baby this time (10lb 2oz compared to 7lb 13oz with DD) but ironically, people told me that I was much smaller all over this time. But by about 30 weeks, I was definitely as huge as I had been with #1. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-2-bigger-did-you-even-out#post-2252457 Sun, 02 Aug 2015 12:22:09 +0000 NovBaby1112 2252457@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started showing WAY earlier the second time, like at 8 weeks I was as big as 20 weeks with #1! It has definitely evened out though, probably around the 29 week mark I looked back at my bump pics and thought they looked similar in size, just carrying differently. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-2-bigger-did-you-even-out#post-2252318 Sun, 02 Aug 2015 08:07:41 +0000 getjazzy 2252318@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I evened out from probably 20-30 weeks, but then near the end of my second pregnancy I pulled ahead again. A lot of the clothes I wore to the end with my first were too small and my belly button started to pop which it was nowhere near doing the first time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-2-bigger-did-you-even-out#post-2252229 Sat, 01 Aug 2015 22:17:31 +0000 Torchwood 2252229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I evened out at some point, but I carried pretty small with both. And I never carried to term. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-2-bigger-did-you-even-out#post-2252227 Sat, 01 Aug 2015 22:14:25 +0000 mrsjyw 2252227@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had bloat and a bump way faster but evened out in second trimester and carried smaller overall w number two. I gained less was more active and had him two weeks earlier too. Two wks pp and I'm def smaller than I was after number one! Lo2 was 8 lbs at 38 wks, lo1 was 8 lbs 11 oz at 40w3d, so around same size too </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-2-bigger-did-you-even-out#post-2252217 Sat, 01 Aug 2015 21:53:37 +0000 hellobeeboston 2252217@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Kelley_lovelikecrazy: I'm 33 weeks with #2 and I got big FAST. I thought at 19/20 weeks I looked the same as 30+ weeks. BUT I have definitely leveled out (so far) and not staying huge the whole time. Again, so far. We will see how I look at the end! Haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-2-bigger-did-you-even-out#post-2252202 Sat, 01 Aug 2015 21:21:33 +0000 MsMini 2252202@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With LO2 I got big fast - but just kept getting bigger - and she was 2 lbs heavier than big brother! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-2-bigger-did-you-even-out#post-2252200 Sat, 01 Aug 2015 21:19:48 +0000 blackbird 2252200@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I evened out but I don't remember when </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-2-bigger-did-you-even-out#post-2252171 Sat, 01 Aug 2015 20:32:31 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2252171@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I evened out by around 18 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-2-bigger-did-you-even-out#post-2252169 Sat, 01 Aug 2015 20:30:58 +0000 sarac 2252169@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I got much bigger with my second. Much lower and further out, too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-2-bigger-did-you-even-out#post-2252152 Sat, 01 Aug 2015 20:08:31 +0000 autumnlove 2252152@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started showing earlier but gained less with LO 2. Kids were about the same size. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-2-bigger-did-you-even-out#post-2252151 Sat, 01 Aug 2015 20:08:23 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 2252151@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! I was much bigger for the first half of pregnancy with #2 than I was with #1. But about 20 weeks or so (maybe a little later), I evened out.<br /> I'm measuring roughly the same now at 33 weeks as I was last time at 33 weeks (fundal height 31 cm). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-2-bigger-did-you-even-out#post-2252149 Sat, 01 Aug 2015 20:07:24 +0000 Kelley_lovelikecrazy 2252149@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That last question mark is apparently how hellobee interpreted my "shocked face" smiley. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-2-bigger-did-you-even-out#post-2252148 Sat, 01 Aug 2015 20:06:29 +0000 Kelley_lovelikecrazy 2252148@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm currently 12 weeks with #2 and am much bigger this time around. I texted a friend a side by side of 10 weeks this time and 22 weeks last time. She replied "you're even bigger than 22 weeks with #1!" </p> <p>I'm hearing this is normal. :) but did you ever even out? I was pretty big at the end with #1 and I'm worried I'll be even larger.</p> <p>Also, I'm in a wedding in 4 weeks and the dress barely zips. ? </p>
