2nd Trimester

3rd time Moms

When did you start to show? We aren't telling anyone until13-14 weeks, but remember that I had a major baby bloat bump with DS2 at 9 weeks. Did you show any sooner with your third compared to second? Hoping we can put off telling until then.

  • Still not really showing yet at this point (besides my ginormous boobs), just like my other 2 pregnancies.  But - that doesn't mean the same will be true for you!

  • I don't feel like I really popped out until 16 weeks, and honestly, I still just feel fat.

  • I'm pregnant with my 4th. My children have all been born back to back & Im 19 weeks and not showing. I usually show around 22. Im short and petite but have a hourglass figure so I guess they hide in my hips
  • I am 22 weeks and if you didn't know I was pregnant then you could not really tell by looking at me.  I feel like I look pregnant, but when I really look at myself (especially from the front) I have no real bump.

    I am also 5'11" and have a big frame to start with.

    With my first two people did not recognize me as being pregnant until about 32.

  • I don't remember exactly, but I remember feeling insecure and fluffy just before 2nd tri and I just wanted to get to 2nd before making the announcement. I think some people suspected.

  • This time around 12 weeks. But ppl had suspicions at 8 bc the bloat was out of control. Different for everyone though.

  • This is my 3rd right now.  I started really showing around 20-22 weeks with my previous.  I was looking at pictures recently and realized I didn't really show any sooner with #2 than with #1. 

    So far this time I can still easily hide the fact that I'm pregnant.  It's obvious to me that my stomach is bigger, but under clothes I don't think anyone else could tell.

  • I wore loose tops even though I had a small bump. I actually showed way earlier with #2 than with #3.  In fact, I had to buy some smaller clothes because I'm not gaining weight super fast like I did with the other 2. It's so weird. I'm showing now I think but if met me as a stranger, you probably wouldn't assume I was pregnant.

  • I got 1st tri bloat pretty badly with all 3 of my pregnancies and the cat was way out of the bag by 13 weeks. My weight gain has been roughly the same with all 3 of them.

  • My bloat showed up right away, 4 weeks and I looked pregnant. I didn't "pop" until this week though really. It is definitely a legit bump at this point. I couldn't hide my bloat though around the 8 week mark, it was noticeable then.

    Sorry, I saw this late.  Honestly for me it wasn't bad- but I never found it hard to adjust with 2 back to back.  In full disclosure, we bedshare for the first 6-8 months (whenever our child is ready to be moved to their room) so I'm never having sleepless nights, the baby just nurses and we fall back to sleep without getting up, and I'm well rested so I think that's probably a big deal.  Also, I like to wear my newborn babies (after @4 months I encourage crib naps) so I can still go and play with my kids without avoiding naps and also get my "chores" done around the house (I love the Baby K'tan wrap!).  My biggest advice is always prep everything!  I write down all our meals for 1-2 weeks in advance and a lot of the time I try to prep meals the day/night before either during naps or after bedtime.  I also cannot stress the importance of one-on-one time with each child.  It takes 15 min and just say "what do you want to do right now"- no phone calls, no interruptions, etc. (I do this a lot during naps which sometimes means I don't get a "break" but in the end the day goes by much smoother so its worth it!).  Lastly, get older kids to help out- they love it!!  I remember how proud my DD was when she was 18 months old and earned her right to set the table!  She boasted about it!!  My 1 year old runs to feed the dog!  It helps you out and it makes them proud!  Best wishes!
