So much harder to hide! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/second-time-mom-showing-early#post-1580593 Mon, 21 Apr 2014 10:58:58 +0000 bushelandapeck 1580593@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 16w on Weds and I feel like I was bigger in the early weeks due to bloat than I am now. My pregnancy feels about the same so far, size wise. I'm about ready to bust out the maternity pants but I'm squeezing into my regular pants for as long as I can ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/second-time-mom-showing-early#post-1580515 Mon, 21 Apr 2014 10:40:27 +0000 Weagle 1580515@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I thought I was showing early this time around, and then it just stopped. I'm 18 weeks and don't look much different than I did at 8. I'm wearing maternity because it's more comfortable, but a lot of my stuff from my last pregnancy is still way too big. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/second-time-mom-showing-early#post-1580379 Mon, 21 Apr 2014 09:45:14 +0000 septca 1580379@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am terrified of this. I am thin and carried really high last time, so I was in mat pants and dresses almost immediately. None of my regular clothes fit past 5-6 weeks. I am currently looking for a new job and am NOT looking forward to looking pregnant immediately. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/second-time-mom-showing-early#post-1580357 Mon, 21 Apr 2014 09:37:10 +0000 snowjewelz 1580357@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 1st time mom, but I'm almost to 7 weeks and after careful observation, I'm pretty sure mine's a bump and not just fat lol :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/second-time-mom-showing-early#post-1580343 Mon, 21 Apr 2014 09:31:44 +0000 Smurfette 1580343@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Blue: LOL </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/second-time-mom-showing-early#post-1580342 Mon, 21 Apr 2014 09:31:39 +0000 winniebee 1580342@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Blue: lol!

Headed there in a few weeks so hopefully I can get by on yoga pants and leggings if needed. I was in maternity pants at 10 wks last time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/second-time-mom-showing-early#post-1580154 Mon, 21 Apr 2014 08:11:04 +0000 winniebee 1580154@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: @CupQuakeWalk: @singingbee: thank you!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/second-time-mom-showing-early#post-1579969 Sun, 20 Apr 2014 23:17:40 +0000 googly-eyes 1579969@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Uhoh. I'm hoping to keep the next lo a secret for awhile... Last time I was able to just avoid the in laws. I know I at least won't be able to go twelve weeks without seeing mil now that we have lo... Whatever happens happens I guess! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/second-time-mom-showing-early#post-1579966 Sun, 20 Apr 2014 23:06:50 +0000 singingbee 1579966@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsMini: and @winniebee: how did I miss these announcements???

Even my regular scrub pants are mighty snug at the belly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/second-time-mom-showing-early#post-1579916 Sun, 20 Apr 2014 21:24:41 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 1579916@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: wait? did I know this? did I forget? CONGRATS!!!!!</p> <p>@blackbird: lol! I am face palming this thread so hard. It's like everything I don't want to hear. I guess if I get KU, I should drop the pregnancy test and make a B line to the nearest Motherhood Maternity. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/second-time-mom-showing-early#post-1579865 Sun, 20 Apr 2014 20:21:57 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 1579865@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No experience, but congratulations! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/second-time-mom-showing-early#post-1579861 Sun, 20 Apr 2014 20:14:28 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 1579861@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: Me too.

At 7 weeks I have a full on bump at certain times of the day. I have a feeling I will look full term by 20 weeks </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/second-time-mom-showing-early#post-1579824 Sun, 20 Apr 2014 19:44:43 +0000 leelee 1579824@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My second i was bloated but I didn't show until 20 weeks. I was in the market for a new job at the time so I was really grateful I wasn't showing right away. I started the new job at 18 weeks and popped 2 weeks later! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/second-time-mom-showing-early#post-1579560 Sun, 20 Apr 2014 13:53:21 +0000 lamariniere 1579560@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With my first I didn't look pregnant until about 23 weeks. With my second, definitely by 18 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/second-time-mom-showing-early#post-1579558 Sun, 20 Apr 2014 13:51:00 +0000 regberadaisy 1579558@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamasig: I think I'm almost 22 weeks and you can't tell I'm pregnant unless I'm wearing a snug top!

I'm pointier and only carrying in the belly. Last time I was super swollen and carried more like a watermelon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/second-time-mom-showing-early#post-1579542 Sun, 20 Apr 2014 13:44:39 +0000 regberadaisy 1579542@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am totally the anamoly and everyone is agreeing I am smaller this time than I was the last. </p> <p>Goes to show everyone and every pregnancy is different because baby is measuring right on track! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/second-time-mom-showing-early#post-1579527 Sun, 20 Apr 2014 13:27:07 +0000 Mamasig 1579527@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>By 6 weeks I went straight to the maternity pants. It was a lot of bloat but I looked pregnant nonetheless. I'm short so there is no where for the baby to go but out. I got the "how big you're getting, it'll be any day now" comments starting around 6 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/second-time-mom-showing-early#post-1579518 Sun, 20 Apr 2014 13:19:41 +0000 rattles 1579518@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I busted out maternity pants at week 10 this time around. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/second-time-mom-showing-early#post-1579463 Sun, 20 Apr 2014 12:34:30 +0000 autumnlove 1579463@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I had a bump early! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/second-time-mom-showing-early#post-1579451 Sun, 20 Apr 2014 12:27:27 +0000 Dandelion 1579451@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Early here too.
