Another 2nd time mom question

izzybella

7w tomorrow and I feel like I'm already showing. I can't suck in my gut anymore and I can't button my pants! I haven't gained any weight yet either. Bloat or baby?

I dunno, but  I am like that too.  I was even down 2 pounds at my 8 week appt and everything is still tight.  Someone at work last week told me I was showing.

Bloat because of baby. Very normal.

BLOAT.  I was so bloated the first few weeks the 2nd time around.  I was freaking out that this was going to be a huge pregnancy, put away all my regular clothes way to early.  After a few weeks, it went way down and I started to look more like I did during pg #1.

Probably mostly bloat, but at my 8 week appt. my OB was surprised at how large my uterus was (what she could feel of it) and even thought I was having twins (before the U/S showed only one-phew!). And at a little over 10 weeks, I am definitely showing baby. In the morning when there is little bloat, I suck in all the way and there is still a belly there. I so want to go to maternity pants, but I am trying to hold out until the end of this week!

Probably just bloat.  I had lost weight at that point, but could still barely fit into my normal shirts.  My OB was also thought my uterus seemed like I was farther along until I had an ultrasound that showed I was right on target.  I've evened out now, the bloat went away around 10-11 weeks and was soon replaced by the baby belly.  I showed much sooner the second time.
