question about 2nd pregnancy

alilan

When did you start showing during your 2nd pregnancy?  I am in my 9th wk and people at work are already asking.  With my first pregnancy I didn't start showing until I was well into my fourth month.  But with this one, not sure whether it's the extra belly fat that I gained after DD was born or from the current pregnancy's bloat.  I wanted to hold off telling co-workers because most ppl are very noisy, but my belly is beginning to look like a pregnant belly.

I am sporting an extra 10 lbs of pre-preg weight from DD#1 and can tell that the 'bloat' is so different the second time around. I think our bellies remember and tend to pop out a little sooner with each consecutive pregnancy.

I didn't start showing with my first until about 4 months as well. This time, I bloated out considerably almost right at conception. This was my first sign. I even had my mom asking if I was pregnant before I got a BFP because of my belly. I am now 7 and a half weeks and I've already outgrown my pants and have to wear a belly band. My co-workers seen to be getting curious but I'm trying to avoid it as much as possible. I'm not sure how much longer I'll be able to hold out though.

I also started out with a few extra pounds this time around and agree that the bloat was totally different. I was in maternity pants or wearing a bella band much earlier and have had a few people already comment.

Im so glad I saw this post.  I have felt like a huge cow since my BFP.

With DS, I wasn't in maternity clothes until 12 weeks, and that was because I was DYING to wear them. HA!

Today, I had to bring out the bella band.  And I want to wear my maternity clothes to be more comfortable.  But how the heck am I supposed to wear maternity clothes when we still haven't told people I am pregnant?

I didn't wear my first maternity ANYTHING until I was 16 weeks pregnant with my son. After I had him, I actually lost more weight than my pre-pregnancy days.....when I found out I was pregnant this time, it felt like I immediately needed my pants unbuttoned. Now, I am already having to wear a bella band.  What the heck? I'm only 5 weeks along?!?!?

Oh wow. This is frightening. I guess I shouldn't have gone on that shopping spree to Nordstrom this weekend...I'll likely grow out of those cute new tops in only a few weeks if I follow the trend here.

 I do think my boobs are going to give it away though. They get circus freak big - and it is already starting to happen again...

I said to my DH yesterday "I look 5 months pregnant!". I stayed out of mat clothes until 18 weeks last time and now, at 9 weeks, I'm out of all my jeans. I'm so thankful I'm a SAHM and can wear yoga pants all day. I'm hoping to hold out on telling people until 13 weeks but I'm thinking this bump is going to give it away in the next week or so!
