Is it true that you "show" earlier for #2?

Just curious....it seemed to take forever (like 6 or 7 months!!) before I looked more pregnant than I did chubby!  Wondering if the bump will come around a little quicker this time....

I can't speak for everyone, but I definitely showed earlier the second time around, I think by the time I was 12 weeks I looked more like 16-20, and it just went down hill from there!

Absolutely. But I was still about 10 lbs heavier when I got pg the 2nd time so maybe it was just fat

OMG MammaBear - are you on your 5th LO????  God bless you!   I am the youngest of 5 but can't imagine having 5 of my own!

I've definitely been showing for a couple of weeks now but, strangely, I'm still wearing my regular clothes (pants in particular) without feeling uncomfortable...however, I also lost a few pounds because I've been sick for 1.5 months but my belly is getting more and more noticeable.

I definitely did. I'd say I'm showing about 4 weeks ahead of what I did when I was pregnant with #1.

For some people. I did. I got my first stranger comment at 19 weeks with my first. When I was pregnant with my next baby I had a stranger comment at 14 weeks and was asked if it was a boy or girl (I must have REALLY been showing...lol).

with #1 I was showing by 16-18 weeks to strangers and 13-15 weeks to family.

with #2 I was showing to strangers around 13 weeks and my family by 9 weeks. 

Yes I showed much eariler and i know a lot of it was bloat, but it was like my stomach muscles just let go and remembered being pregnant.

Yes #5 is on his way, and I can't wait for him to be here!  I know 5 is crazy for most... it works well for us
