Did you show a lot earlier than with your first?
-
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.
-
I think I was in maternity pants by 8 weeks.
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. -
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.
-
As soon as the second line showed up.
-
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.
-
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!
-
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.
-
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.
I started this pregnancy 10 pounds heavier, so that was probably a factor too.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Later than with my first. It's talking longer to get back to baseline postpartum though
-
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.
-
Not until 16 weeks? But I lost a lot of weight during the first trimester.
This third time in starting to show at 12.5 weeks. Freaking out, I'm not ready for it to be quite this obvious.
-
Around 8 weeks, it started to get harder to hide!
-
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.
-
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?
-
Here's my belly at 21 weeks with my first.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
By ten weeks I was already pulling out maternity jeans! My belly popped really early the second time!
-
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.
-
@CatchAFallingStar: Later than with my first, in part because I dressed differently.
-
Bump!
-
6 weeks probably
-
Does the bloat-bump count??
At almost 8w, I look like I did at 15w the first time, but I'm reading that the uterus at this point is nowhere near protruding outside the hip bones at this point, so it's just that awesome bloat! I definitely have to choose my clothes carefully so people won't ask questions at this point.
