I definitely have to choose my clothes carefully so people won't ask questions at this point. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-showing-with-your-2nd#post-2770740 Wed, 30 Aug 2017 16:05:10 +0000 Mamatimes3 2770740@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>6 weeks probably </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-showing-with-your-2nd#post-2770696 Wed, 30 Aug 2017 13:20:12 +0000 LindsayInNY 2770696@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bump! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-showing-with-your-2nd#post-2751720 Sat, 24 Jun 2017 19:58:28 +0000 pastemoo 2751720@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@CatchAFallingStar: Later than with my first, in part because I dressed differently. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-showing-with-your-2nd#post-2751679 Sat, 24 Jun 2017 14:09:03 +0000 Cherrybee 2751679@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I still looked a little pregnant from my first (who was two at the time)... and by 9 weeks I had a 6 month style bump. Honestly, I was properly showing by 5 weeks - ridiculous. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-showing-with-your-2nd#post-2751675 Sat, 24 Jun 2017 13:33:22 +0000 mrsrain 2751675@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>By ten weeks I was already pulling out maternity jeans! My belly popped really early the second time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-showing-with-your-2nd#post-2751579 Fri, 23 Jun 2017 23:21:56 +0000 SugarMaple 2751579@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I showed earlier. I popped at 17/18 weeks this time. It was a drastic change (in my eyes). With my first I gained weight, but didn't have a bump until later. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-showing-with-your-2nd#post-2751567 Fri, 23 Jun 2017 22:05:44 +0000 Purpledaisy 2751567@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Like right away. Seriously. I think I had already given in and was wearing some maternity pants by 7ish weeks. I showed early with my first too. I am short though and tend to carry any extra weight in my stomach so it makes sense. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-showing-with-your-2nd#post-2751563 Fri, 23 Jun 2017 21:47:46 +0000 Shantuck 2751563@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I expected to show earlier with my second but I don't think I showed more than a week or two earlier. However, I had 4 years in between so maybe my stomach muscles had enough time to regain some of their former strength. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-showing-with-your-2nd#post-2751562 Fri, 23 Jun 2017 21:36:49 +0000 CatchAFallingStar 2751562@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Here's my belly at 21 weeks with my first. </p> [attach=3657/17/os15xd.600x548.IMG_0786.JPG] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-showing-with-your-2nd#post-2751561 Fri, 23 Jun 2017 21:34:07 +0000 CatchAFallingStar 2751561@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel like I'm already showing at 4 weeks because I'm so bloated! 😬 So, I'm thinking I'll be showing earlier this time around! It took about 20 weeks for me to show the first time. Anyone have early belly pics to share? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-showing-with-your-2nd#post-2751430 Fri, 23 Jun 2017 14:45:02 +0000 babypugs 2751430@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Eh, I think I was already a little squishier and made less effort to hold it in than the first time, but I started "for real" showing around the same time---24ish weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-showing-with-your-2nd#post-2751406 Fri, 23 Jun 2017 13:43:18 +0000 Adira 2751406@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around 8 weeks, it started to get harder to hide! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-showing-with-your-2nd#post-2751405 Fri, 23 Jun 2017 13:36:23 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2751405@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not until 16 weeks? But I lost a lot of weight during the first trimester. </p> <p>This third time in starting to show at 12.5 weeks. Freaking out, I'm not ready for it to be quite this obvious. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-showing-with-your-2nd#post-2751404 Fri, 23 Jun 2017 13:36:12 +0000 catlady 2751404@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely earlier, although I was able to hide it well with clothes. I was coming off of a miscarriage that happened at 12 weeks though and I hadn't lost the weight I had gained from that pregnancy, so I think I probably showed faster due to that too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-showing-with-your-2nd#post-2751401 Fri, 23 Jun 2017 13:22:31 +0000 Anya 2751401@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Later than with my first. It's talking longer to get back to baseline postpartum though :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-showing-with-your-2nd#post-2751399 Fri, 23 Jun 2017 13:17:49 +0000 Littlebit7 2751399@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I personally feel like I am, but I also know I am just super bloated. I also know my midsection didn't exactly go back to how I looked before #1 (um, buh-bye abs) so comparing myself to photos I took with #1 isn't really fair to myself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-showing-with-your-2nd#post-2751387 Fri, 23 Jun 2017 12:54:18 +0000 peachykeen 2751387@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I expected to, but not really. I had a bump at 18-20 weeks both pregnancies but people told me they couldn't really tell until 22+ weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-showing-with-your-2nd#post-2751384 Fri, 23 Jun 2017 12:50:39 +0000 littlejoy 2751384@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe just a week earlier? I think I had a little bump at 11 weeks with LO2, and the same bump at 10 weeks with LO2. </p> <p>I started this pregnancy 10 pounds heavier, so that was probably a factor too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-showing-with-your-2nd#post-2751376 Fri, 23 Jun 2017 12:40:26 +0000 PawPrints 2751376@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>MUCH earlier with baby #2. I could clearly tell I was showing by 8 weeks, if not earlier. I managed to keep it under wraps by wearing a tight jacket around the office a lot, so there were at least a few people who were totally surprised when I announced at 12+ weeks, but there was at least one person who said she'd been able to tell. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-showing-with-your-2nd#post-2751345 Fri, 23 Jun 2017 12:04:06 +0000 bushelandapeck 2751345@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 8w today and pregnant with my 3rd. I think I look bloated to myself but I know it isn't noticeable to anyone else. I think people started asking around 16/17w with my other two. Hoping it stays the same for this one! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-showing-with-your-2nd#post-2751337 Fri, 23 Jun 2017 11:59:39 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2751337@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not until 16 weeks or so. I was bloated for a few weeks in the first tri, but not showing. It was the same as my first pregnancy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-showing-with-your-2nd#post-2751335 Fri, 23 Jun 2017 11:58:34 +0000 avivoca 2751335@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As soon as the second line showed up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-showing-with-your-2nd#post-2751334 Fri, 23 Jun 2017 11:58:08 +0000 LBee 2751334@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started showing around maybe 15 weeks to myself. People are just now commenting at 24 weeks. I showed much earlier with LO1. I wore maternity clothes earlier with LO1 as well, but I think some of that was I was excited by the novelty of them. I know how annoying they are second time around. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-showing-with-your-2nd#post-2751331 Fri, 23 Jun 2017 11:56:16 +0000 merriment 2751331@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I was in maternity pants by 8 weeks.<br /> I ultimately ended up looking the same and gaining the same amount of weight with both, but I just got there a lot faster with my second. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-showing-with-your-2nd#post-2751327 Fri, 23 Jun 2017 11:54:07 +0000 LadyDi 2751327@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm almost 8 weeks with my second and I already feel like I look bloated and pregnant-ish. Maybe I am just imagining it because I still had a little pooch leftover from my first, but it certainly feels like I am showing already. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-showing-with-your-2nd#post-2751325 Fri, 23 Jun 2017 11:51:55 +0000 CatchAFallingStar 2751325@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Did you show a lot earlier than with your first? </p>
