2nd Trimester

Come in if this is your 2nd pregnancy...

Did you pop sooner the 2nd time?  I was in maternity at about 13-15 weeks with DC #1, but my belly really popped around 21 weeks.  It sounds silly and ahead of the game, but I am trying to plan for spring what clothes I already have from my pregnancy with DD that will work.  Of course it figures that  she was born in February and my due date for this one is August. 

Re: Come in if this is your 2nd pregnancy...

  • I was in maternity about 4 weeks earlier than with DD.  I was 22 weeks with DD and about 18 weeks with new baby.

  • I was in regular jeans until 26 weeks with first, it looked like i just had a rough night of drinking lol.

    I was in maternity by 16 weeks with this baby.

  • Wow!  Big difference!  Did you have the round belly earlier, or was it just an overall look of pregnancy sooner? 
  • I definitely LOOK pregnant now. With DD I just woke up one morning I couldn't get my pants on and could barely sit up. I have a lot of weight going to my hips/butt/thighs this pregnancy though where as I didn't with the first
  • With DD I didn't show at all until 20 weeks. With this baby I was in maternity jeans by 8, and people could tell I was pregnant by 11-12 wks. Right now I'm pretty much enormous. I'm carrying very differently, but as far as size go I'm 21 weeks now and am about the same size I was at 30 weeks with DD.
  • I'm HUGE this time around.  With DD I didn't wear mat clothes and no one could tell I was pg until after 20 wks.  With this one I was in mat clothes by 12 wks, and my neighbors asked me at 13 wks if I was pg.  Now at 22 wks I look like I did last time around at about 30 wks.  I definitely got much bigger in the belly much sooner.  I have gained about the same amount of weight as last time, but I look much more pregnant and am carrying totally differently (way out in front this time, all over last time).
  • I think about 4 weeks before but I looked pg with DD as early as 14 weeks...with a tank and jeans. this time I didn't but then Popped like around 18 vs 22. happy planning :)
  • oddly enough... no.

    I think im smaller this time around. So its hard to predict....sorry.

  • I think I remember your screen name from your last PG!  It's really cool to see people on here that I saw last PG on here and now are 2nd timers.  My DD was born on 3/6/07...I was a March mommy for DD and now i'm in the April mommies 09.

    Soo...on to "popping"....wellll, I really do not have a good answer for ya.  I know as far as my belly button...it didnt turn into an outtie until about 30 weeks last time.  I've had an outtie this time since week 14..15?  

    Have fun w/ this PG and GL!!

  • I'm opposite of most people.  I am actually smaller this time around and still in almost all of my pre-pg clothes.  I was 20 lbs heavier to start with but now weigh the same as I did at the same point as when I was pg with DD.

    I really popped with DD around 15-16 weeks and strnagers could tell I was pg.  This time, I still haven't really gotten comments from too many people but it is starting to look a lot more obvious to me.

  • Hi there!  It is too funny that we are back on the pregnancy pages.  I was a March mommy with Katie (due 3/10/07) until she turned into a February baby 2/13/07!

    This one will be in August :)

  • Not really.  However, I was VERY sick with this pregnancy in the first tri. and lost weight.  So, although I started wearing maternity pants around 10 wks. for comfort, I had not "popped" until 16-18 wks. which was the same with DS.

  • I didn't pop with DD until I was about 25/26 weeks. ?I just popped with this pregnancy in the last week or so!?

  • Another "early popper" checking in...

    I was astonished, last week around 15 weeks - out of nowhere- suddenly I had a belly... not monsterous, but it was there and I wasn't showing until 20-21 weeks the first time.    They do say your body remembers... rats.  Wish mine had forgotten for another month! LOL!

  • I'm also in the minority here, I think I'm smaller this time around...I've only gained 1lb., and am still in my regular clothes...With DC#1, I definitely gained more weight by this time, and was a maternity clothes...
  • I'll put it this way, I am the same size now as I was with my daughter at six months. It was very obvious, very early. I am 5'6 and was about 115 pre pregnancy, just to give you an idea.
