When did you ladies start showing with baby #2 and how does that compare to baby #1?
With my first, I started showing at about 5 months (although it looked more like I had a very large meal). I hear with the second, women show much sooner but I'm just trying to figure out how soon I can expect that to happen.

With my first, popped at like 15 weeks (twins)...
With my 2nd, popped at around 10 weeks.
With this last pregnancy, never lost my pouch so looked pregnant before I was even pregnant lol.

First time, about 15 weeks.
Second time, the same, though I started feeling "thicker" at about 12. No bump until 15.

Same as Mrs. Microscope. I was surprised I didn't pop earlier with #2.

I was expecting to show earlier with my second, but I definitely didn't. With both babies, I didn't really show until 20+ weeks.

Not obviously showing until around 20 weeks with both babies, but I had a tiny bump before that (around same time for both).

First I started showing around 16 weeks (really just looked like a burrito baby, lol). This pregnancy I started showing at 10 weeks but it's twins and my second so I think that's why.

with my first it wasn't until like 20 weeks but by 13 weeks with #2 people were asking me

With #1 it wasn't definitive until the last couple months. With #2 it was more like halfway through when I couldn't really hide it? I think? With this my third pregnancy I'm already looking like I have a bump but I can hide it. I think by early second trimester maybe 15/16 weeks it'll be obvious.

As soon as the second line showed up. I was so bloated and I carried quite large and all in front.

I definitely showed earlier with #2. You could see a bump maybe @18 weeks with #1. My work colleagues guessed I was pregnant by @ 11 weeks with my second.

Eh, that chubby pregnant? stage lasts a while, but with my second I stopped being able to button my pants at maybe 8 weeks.

Slightly later than my first- around 5 months as opposed to 4 months with my first.

Later than my first, I think. I just now have people thinking I'm pregnant at 22 weeks. With my son people asked around 14 weeks. I was also in maternity pants considerably later (20 vs 12), but some of it was that they lacked the novelty.

I started showing around the same time with both pregnancies. When I did start to show though, my bump grew a lot faster the second time, and I also ended up with a larger bump.

I'm only 12 weeks with my second, but I look about equal to where I was at 15 weeks with my first (tiniest hint of a bump and plenty of bloat!).

I'm fairly small so I showed early with both. With my first, people noticed around 10-11 weeks. With my second, co-workers asked me at 6 weeks!!

With my first I remember being able to hide it beyond 12 weeks if I really tried. I got pregnant with my 2nd when my 1st was 16 months; I hadn't even lost all the weight yet so I feel like I was showing right away! Much more difficult to hide since my stomach just popped right away!

I had to start hiding it around 6 weeks (honestly I probably just looked normal to most people but it seemed obvious to me). It was very clear by 14 weeks, which is when I announced.

My 1st was 11 weeks it was a noticeable change, my 2nd at 8 weeks I had coworkers calling me out. I only found out at 7 weeks the second time, so it was there within a week, when I wasn't ready to share the news yet.

I'm 10 weeks with #2 and don't feel like I'm showing yet at all. ETA My high school students were definitely suspicious by 12-13 weeks with my first but I didn't announce until 15 weeks. Interested to see how it goes this time. Now I don't have 100+ sets of eyes staring at me all day!

First was about 5 months in day to day clothing but I found waist bands super uncomfortable so I was already in maternity pants.
The second was much sooner.... but i dressed to hide it until about 4 months. LOs are 19 months apart so I hadn't really lost the softness.

First time I just looked like I gained a bit of weight until like 6/7 months, second time I looked rather pregnant by 14 weeks, 3rd was around 12 and now with #4 I'm 10 weeks and I feel like I'm for sure showing though it has to be mostly bloat.
