I am 9 weeks along with my 3rd and I am really surprised by how much I am showing already.......I mean I have a real pregnant belly and it is making me really uncomfortable about it because I look so much farther along than I really am. Just wondering if I am the only one showing so early??
Re: anyone on 2nd or 3rd baby??
This is my second and I am around 8 weeks (haven't had my first appointment yet so I am still guessing). The belly was the first thing that tipped me off that I was expecting again. It seemed to pop out overnight. Of course my DS is only 10 months so that may explain some of it!
This is my 2nd, I'm almost 5 weeks along (going next Wednesday for blood test and 1st prenatal appt - so long as it doesn't get rescheduled). It's been 11 years (as of April 1st) since I've been pregnant. I still had left over 'baby fat' or 'baby pouch' for the past 11 years. It isn't a lot but enough to look like I have a muffin top. Anyhow, before I actually peed on a stick, I figured I was pregnant because no matter how much I try to suck in my 'gut' it doesn't go very far in, when in the past it did. My pants for work are fitting a lot snugger than they typically do when I'm just bloating from AF. My boobs are filling out my bras a little better, so that's always a plus.
Anyhow, yes I'm showing a little bit, but not as much as you say you are. Congrats on your pregnancy. H&H 9 months!
I posted something similar on 1st tri yesterday. I'm only 5 weeks but I feel like I look the way I did at 10-11wks last pregnancy.
I was reading up, and since you lose a little muscle tone due to previous pregnancies, it makes your belly more elastic so it "pops" out earlier (or something to that affect). Makes sense I guess. But, makes it harder to hide for as long as I did last time.

OMG! I am 5 weeks as of tomorrow and this si my second child but my first will be nine in two months. It all feels so foreign to me. My belly feels a little bloated to me, but thats about all. With my first i didnt notice that until like 4 months and i started wearing maternity cloths at 5 months cause i was anxious, i could have went longer. I am still about the same size i have been even before her (thank god) but my body feels so different.
I'm also 9 weeks along with my 3rd. I had leftover fat pouch on the front on my belly from the last kid that I never got rid of, but that's all I still seem to have. I do bloat by the end of the day and feel like I can't suck my belly in like normal, but I think I'm looking less pregnant than my second, but a little more pregnant than my first (with flat pre-kid belly). It's been 3 1/2 years since I had the last kid though.
I was expecting to be huge right away and this is a nice surprise to be able to hide this belly since I'm not planning to tell work until later since I'm in a new job this year.
...baby #3 is here...
