1st Trimester

show earlier or later w/ 2nd pregnancy??

Well, I think I am just pregnant.  Haven't missed my period yet.  But I got a bfp!  

 So this will be our 2nd, exactly 2 years apart.  Will I show earlier or later than the 1st?  or is it different w/ everyone?

  • I think its different for everyone - though it seems like a lot of people show earlier. 

    I didn't really start showing until after 25 weeks last time.   And nothing yet this time :)

  • I'm curious to see how things go with this pregnancy.  I didn't show for a really long time with #1; however, I would wear maternity tops so that I looked pregnant!  Ha, ha!  I think I have a large amount of bloating going on right now, so we'll see!
  • I have heard that you show earlier with the 2nd, but like pp said it is different for everyone.  When we told the ILs they claimed they could tell, but I think they are full of crap!

  • Definitely showed earlier the 2nd time.  I thought mine was 2nd baby bump and it probably had something to do with it...then we found 2 more babies so that is a big contributor too.

  • i am 9 weeks and skinny and I'm just bloated. The baby has to move up higher and get bigger before you get bigger.

  • everything i've heard so far seems to say that after baby #1, you start showing earlier.

  • I have a little bump now that I got at 17-18 weeks last time.  I just look chubby, not pregnant.  Last time I didn't show pregnant until 25+ weeks so I'm curious to see when I actually show to other people this time.
