1st Trimester

Baby number 2...

It has been a little over 7 yrs since I was pregnant with number one. But I also had a gastric bypass December of 2006 and I have lost over 100lbs and 6 or 7 pant sizes. I am now around 6 weeks pregnant with number two.

My question is- Is it true that you start showing alot quicker with the second child versus the first?

  • Give me a few more weeks and I'll let you know! ;)

    But seriously, I've heard that too but none of my friends are on #2 yet, so no first hand experience. 

  • I sure hope so! I hate that in between stage where you just look bloated!

  • I started to be bloated around my 6/7 week by 8 weeks i was in maternity pants. It depends on how in shape you are at the time you get pregnant it also depends on your time between pregnancy. If you get pregnant early like 6 months to 3 years after the first you may show the bloat earlier than if its been years between them. Each body is different though.

    Congratulations! I have read that you show earlier with a second pregnancy. I surely am. I'm 5 weeks and in comparison to the belly bump pics I took with my first child, I am showing like I'm 10-12 weeks. I feel a lot more body changes as well.

  • My doc said that I will show earlier with number two so don't assume twins becuase I am bigger this time...lol

  • I'm showing a lot faster - last pregnancy I don't think a stranger noticed until 17 weeks-ish.  Today on the train a stranger commented and I'm only 8 weeks!  I have been under the impression that I've been hiding it at work... hmmm....  
  • My growth has been about the same with each pregnancy, so it isn't always necessarily true.

    I had not completely lost all the weight I gained with the first (I was up about 15 more lbs)

    I feel like I am MUCH more bloated this time but plan to gain MUCH less weight (I gained 50 last time) 

    :)

    Congrats and welcome!
