Really?! I know they say with your 2nd, 3rd, etc pregnancies you show faster, but this bloat is out of control. My pants are all insanely uncomfortable....
When did you start changing over your clothing for your 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc pregnancy??
-
I was pretty solidly wearing maternity pants or using the hairband trick before we even announced the 2nd pregnancy. And we announced at like 9 weeks.
-
No joke, I loosened my belt at dinner the night before I found out I was pregnant! By 8 weeks an acquaintance asked if I was pregnant because of the bloat. It was crazy.
-
@Foodnerd81: omg seriously....now granted I'm a little heavier anyways, but still it's crazy how early it's started.
-
@MrsBrewer: also- congrats!! And yeah, luckily I didn't care as much about keeping it a secret the second time since I got a lot more sideways glances early on.
-
Definitely by 6 weeks! I know this because we went to Disney when I was between 6 and 7 weeks, and I had to buy new shorts one size up and I also bought some flowy tees and trapeze dresses to bring since my old fitted ones definitely showed a small bump and I didn't want anyone seeing our vacation photos to know (in retrospect, those trapeze dresses made me look huge!).
-
@catlady: So I'm sort of in the same situation. not this weekend, but next (the 22nd) we are getting family pictures done, but I don't plan on announcing until closer to Thanksgiving.....so I need to find a shirt to wear that won't show a belly at all.....I'm so at a loss.
-
@MrsBrewer: It's so tough! When I look back at those photos, the ones that came out looking best were when I was wearing a somewhat flowy, dark patterned top over dark shorts or jeans. Since it's fall now, maybe just hide under layers? Like wear a blazer with a scarf.
-
@MrsBrewer: I'm 5w3d with my 3rd and sitting here with my jeans unzipped at this moment (luckily I'm on my own couch).
-
@Foodnerd81: Thanks!!
@catlady: Good idea! I have a mustard sweater I'm planning on wearing, and I wanted to find a maroon colored shirt to match DD leggings. So maybe I can find a maroon-ish patterned shirt to wear under the sweater to help camouflage!
@MrsF: Hahahah!! Yea I tried buttoning this morning, and I said screw it! hahahaha

10 weeks with my third and currently wearing maternity jeans
Hairband trick worked from about 6-9 weeks.
-
I'm not wearing maternity pants yet because most of my pants hang below my belly lol, but just last night, I was telling my hubby I look 4 mo pregnant. Doesn't help that I looked 3 months pregnant before I was pregnant....
-
I don't know when I needed maternity clothes, but 2nd time I needed them earlier than my 1st time for sure!
-
I was wearing a belly band by 6 or 7 weeks and this is my first!! The bloat was terrible!! Then it actually went down around 11 or 12 weeks until my actual bump popped out. Why not just be comfortable??
-
I was in maternity pants at 6 weeks with LO2. I still didn't show until 6 months.
-
I needed maternity pants by 8 weeks with #2. People at work were guessing I was pregnant by @ 11-12 weeks!
-
I broke out maternity pants way early this time around! Like, 9 weeks as opposed to 13ish during my first pregnancy. Dh and I both def noticed my bump very early on, but I think the growth has slowed down--I'm 23 weeks now and I don't think it's super obvious to people who don't know that I'm pregnant or don't know me well. Like, daycare parents I'm friendly with haven't said anything, and I've only been offered a seat on public transportation once despite riding almost every day
-
@MrsBrewer: congratulations!
-
@junebugsmama:
Thanks! I'm still in shock...haha
-
I went on holiday at 9 wks with my second and I wore all maternity clothes, swimwear etc - I looked a few months gone!
-
@Cherrybee: oh my! That's so crazy how fast our bellies appear the second time around!
-
Weirdly enough I feel like I showed right away with #2. Currently almost 8 weeks with #3 and haven't noticed any physical changes yet! Other than the worst morning sickness ever of course...
-
The bloat was awful! I had to tell work early because I was showing already.
Hairband trick worked from about 6-9 weeks.
Thanks! I'm still in shock...haha
