I was MUCH bigger the 2nd time up to about 6 months, and then it sort of evened out. I'll see if I can find the picture that compares....

Here is 6 months with both girls - MUCH smaller 1st time around.

Here is full term with both girls - I was pretty much the same size.

Definitely gained more weight/was wider in the hips and thighs with LO2 (DD) than with DS. Although that might have just been due to being less active too! My bump itself was similar both times.

@BabyBoecksMom: same- I got big way faster with my second, but by the end I think they were pretty similar. I gained more with dd2 but started it lighter, so I actually ended up weighing the exact same at delivery. I may have carried a little lower though- probably because I had no ab muscles!

Funny enough, though I thought I looked about the same, I had everyone tell me it was a boy the first time (wrong) and a girl the second time (right). Both girls.

I had a boy and a girl and carried differently.

In the end, I gained the same and was about the same size. I had a bump much earlier with DS2 though, but it evened out towards the end.

I have a boy and a girl and carried differently each time.

two girls - waaaay lower way earlier with my second!

Two boys, carried them both about the same.

Two girls so far and carried them exactly the same all the way throughout. I took ages to show both times (well past 20 weeks) and carried ridiculously high until I was pretty much in established labour.

With this baby, at 17 weeks now, it seems to be a lower bump than my previous two - but that could be due to my abdominal muscles not being as tight as they were the first two times around. Still a long to go until we find out what this one is but my instinct says boy.

I was much bigger with DS2....which is funny because I felt sick the entire time and he was almost 2 pounds smaller than his older brother.

I had a basketball bump with DS. I carried very low and pretty wide with both girls. Its too soon to tell with this baby (9 weeks) but but the end of the day, the bump I have isn't wide or low yet.
