I showed later with my 2nd than my first. I was wearing fat pants for sure by 10-11 weeks with #1 and in some maternity pants/shirts by 13 - 14 weeks. I ended up needing different/bigger maternity stuff (which was fine because of the season change) later to accomodate my growing self with #1. I wasn't wearing fat pants until 14-15 weeks with #2 and maternity pants around 18 weeks with #2. I got pregnant when #1 was exactly 12 months old. I was a couple pounds lighter when I got pregnant with #2. I didn't have as much bloat or swelling with #2 as I did with #1. I ended up gaining about the same amount of weight with both.
