Definitely no ab muscles to speak of here! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-show-sooner-with-2#post-2768559 Fri, 18 Aug 2017 12:32:04 +0000 Mrs. Goose 2768559@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pachamama: I am quite thin and was when I got pregnant both times, but I don't work out so don't think my ab muscles were very good! But people with strong ab muscles generally don't show as much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-show-sooner-with-2#post-2768558 Fri, 18 Aug 2017 12:25:37 +0000 pachamama 2768558@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Goose: would you say you are pretty trim with good ab muscles? Does that have anything to do with is you think? I run a lot and do a lot of core work so I'm wondering if that's keeping this nugget in! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-show-sooner-with-2#post-2768557 Fri, 18 Aug 2017 12:24:35 +0000 pachamama 2768557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@StrawberryBee: 0 lbs! Wow! I'm at 4 and only 12 weeks in! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-show-sooner-with-2#post-2768389 Thu, 17 Aug 2017 15:00:28 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2768389@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A little maybe but I was also skinnier with #2 than #1.</p> <p>I would definitely say I showed earlier wth #3 although when the bloat went down I could still hide it. It's becoming impossible to hide again at 20 weeks, I think I might be able to disguise it until maybe 22-23 tops? (Sometimes I just don't want to talk about it with every stranger on the street! :silly: ) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-show-sooner-with-2#post-2768359 Thu, 17 Aug 2017 13:31:52 +0000 StrawberryBee 2768359@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 36 weeks with my second and while I definitely look pregnant now, I've gained exactly 0 lbs and everyone keeps on commenting how small my bump looks (though it always measures perfectly at the doctor's office). I had bump envy and even went so far to ask my doctor if it was okay I wasn't bigger. We just all carry differently and while you usually show earlier with pregnancies past the first, it isn't a given. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-show-sooner-with-2#post-2768356 Thu, 17 Aug 2017 13:25:29 +0000 Mrs. Goose 2768356@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, I was the same. Had a small bump at 20 weeks both times and then proceeded to get gianormous </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-show-sooner-with-2#post-2768330 Thu, 17 Aug 2017 12:38:48 +0000 pachamama 2768330@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>12 weeks tomorrow and still not much. flat in the morning and maybe bloated at night :-/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-show-sooner-with-2#post-2766614 Thu, 10 Aug 2017 12:00:55 +0000 snowjewelz 2766614@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh yeah.... Totally since my tummy wasn't back to it's original state after the first. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-show-sooner-with-2#post-2766010 Tue, 08 Aug 2017 17:30:47 +0000 PawPrints 2766010@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Way earlier. I could tell by 8 weeks. I was able to keep it a secret until I announced at 13 weeks at work, but it was tough. Lots of buttoned-up jackets and sucking it in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-show-sooner-with-2#post-2766009 Tue, 08 Aug 2017 17:30:44 +0000 bhbee 2766009@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely after first tri but yes. Around 5 months I was barely showing with #1 - totally not obvious to others. But with #2 I looked distinctly pregnant by then. Actually if you're not showing it probably means your abs are awesome! :grin: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-show-sooner-with-2#post-2766006 Tue, 08 Aug 2017 17:23:57 +0000 Reese 2766006@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes :meh: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-show-sooner-with-2#post-2765983 Tue, 08 Aug 2017 15:31:38 +0000 LindsayLou 2765983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I expected to, but I didn't show any sooner with my second. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-show-sooner-with-2#post-2765969 Tue, 08 Aug 2017 14:30:29 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2765969@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No I didn't </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-show-sooner-with-2#post-2765963 Tue, 08 Aug 2017 14:21:35 +0000 autumnlove 2765963@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, way earlier than the first. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-show-sooner-with-2#post-2765958 Tue, 08 Aug 2017 14:08:28 +0000 LBee 2765958@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I showed way later with #2. I was in maternity pants at 12 weeks with #1 and didn't move to maternity pants until ~ 20 weeks with #2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-show-sooner-with-2#post-2765945 Tue, 08 Aug 2017 13:03:26 +0000 Littlebit7 2765945@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yes but I really didn't start to show much until i was 18-19 weeks with #1. With #2, I probably started to show around 14-15 w. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-show-sooner-with-2#post-2765940 Tue, 08 Aug 2017 12:57:09 +0000 Anya 2765940@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I showed later with #2! Don't worry, a lot of people show quickly with their second but not always! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-show-sooner-with-2#post-2765939 Tue, 08 Aug 2017 12:56:15 +0000 littlebug 2765939@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was obviously pregnant at about 14-15w with #1. It was about 12-13w with #2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-show-sooner-with-2#post-2765938 Tue, 08 Aug 2017 12:54:31 +0000 Adira 2765938@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>People made comments about my bump at 8 weeks!</p> <p>But everyone shows differently. I have a friend who was able to hide her baby bump until 20 weeks with #2! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-show-sooner-with-2#post-2765935 Tue, 08 Aug 2017 12:51:25 +0000 pachamama 2765935@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am not showing at all still at 10.5 weeks with #2, so naturally I'm nervous and have to make a poll :silly: </p> <p>Share the week you really popped (**obvious/ noticeable to others** for consistency) if you want! </p>
