2nd child

ginah75

Just wondering from mommas who have had 2 or more children...... do you start to show earlier than previous pregnancies?

Yes, I started to show ealier. I am a bit heavier than I would have liked starting off but I can tell even if others can't

I'm on my 2nd and I don't remember being this bloated in the belly area.

This is my second and I'm not showing at all.  I've heard that you do show earlier so I guess we'll see.  I didn't start wearing maternity stuff until about 20 weeks last time, but I doubt I'll be able to do that again!

Ditto. I didn't start wearing mat clothes until 20+ weeks last time and I told DH last night I think he needs to pull them out of storage soon Granted it's bloat but still! I had dinner with a friend last night who I was pregnant with at the same time last time and she's 16 weeks now with #2 and looks a good 6-7 months!

Yep!  I'm 11 weeks now and I have definitely have a low bump that is equivalent to what I had around 17/18 weeks last time.    I hear you show quicker but that you don't necessarily get bigger than you did with previous pregnancies.  I'm hoping that's the case for me

Totally.  I didn't wear any maternity pants/shorts until 20-24 weeks last time and this time I pulled them out 2 weeks ago (around 10 weeks).

This is my third and I am totally already showing... it may just be some fierce bloat but my stomach is harder in the lower abdomen area so I'm not sure.

I showed around 20 weeks with my first, 15 weeks with my second

Yeah, this time is very different.  I was in my regular jeans until at least 20 weeks last time.  This time I'm already wearing a bella band.  It's not a baby bump exactly, but it's like everything is sliding right back into pregnancy position and there's no resistance from my body.
