2nd+ time moms.. Is it true that you show earlier?

Azrayla

Just wondering when you ladies started to show..I'm not huge but I'm not a mini either..And with DD I didnt show until 20 weeks..Right now you cant tell since I'm carrying left over baby weight still but was just curious!

Mainly wanted to know if theres hope to hide it for a bit

I am deffinately showing earlier, I am about the same size I was at about 22 weeks last time.

I definitely showed earlier 2nd time around. I began showing a couple weeks ago. With my 1st I was small until 5 1/2 months

I showed earlier BUT I am smaller this time.

I don't think I started showing any earlier this time. Depending on how I'm dressed I can still hide it pretty well, which makes my life a little easier. I get a lot of weird looks when I'm out with my 9 month old and looking pregnant.

Thats what I'm afraid of! Plus with my hair cut the way it is I look like I'm 12 which does not help!

I certainly did.  I had a stranger comment at 16w and last time I didn't have anyone that didn't already know I was pregnant say something until 23w.

I sure did. With DS I didn't start really showing until 23-24 weeks. This time it was 15-16 weeks.

Not as of yet! But I didn't show with DD until almost 29/30 weeks, so I've still got a lot of time left to "show earlier"

I showed a bit earlier and think I look bigger now than with DS but I'm also carrying DD a lot higher.

amahrey

totally bigger this time.  i think it's because my body knew how to stretch out already.  i'm the same size at 23 weeks right now as i was when i had ds at 29 weeks.  fun fun fun.

Until last week I would have said no.  With DS I didn't start to show until I was close to 20 weeks.  Last week I noticed my bump was starting to show.  Today a coworker told me he can now tell I'm pregnant.  Love the bump!

Azrayla

Thanks ladies! I'm kind of excited to show earlier (That is if it happens to me too) and then I'm not..But I loved my bump once it didnt look like pudge anymore! I got HUGE with DD though by the time she arrived (Didnt realize till I looked back at the pics)

I showed later this time around. Most people knew around 16 weeks that I was pregnant just by looking, this time around they could just now tell the last couple of weeks.

I'm going on 16 weeks and already had to get my maternity clothes out.  Last time I didn't start wearing them until around 18-19 weeks.  Even then I was still able to wear some regular pants until almost the end of my pregnancy.  I think I look like I did around 20+ weeks.

oooh yeah, and I started off 10lbs lighter and in better shape this time...

I just posted a comparison pic to my blog, check out below.

I showed earlier with the 2nd.  Maybe two weeks earlier.

00tedsgirl

I showed much earlier with my first.  I'm much more careful about how much I eat this time, though.  5 days in Vegas with all those buffets when I was 10 weeks was a bad idea the first time around.

 This is me exactly!
