2nd time moms/pg ladies

blueLu25 · September 2009

I know it is too early to have a real bump, but I swear I have TONS of bloat, even in the morning. I dont remember looking like this until like 10 weeks or more last time. Did this/ is this happening to anyone else? I've heard everything happens sooner with the second, is this true?

I showed much much earlier the 2nd time round then I did the first. With Eli I didnt show (or have to wear maternity clothes) till around almost 20 weeks. With Kai I had to move into maternity clothes by like around 10-11 weeks I think. Also I didnt gain anymore weight with Kai then I did with Eli but I definatly carried much bigger.

Yeah I couldn't wear regular pants pretty much from the get go.

My first was a boy and I gained a TON - right off the bat. preg pants at 8 weeks along

I had a girl the second time - and hardly gained a thing, and barely showed til 18 weeks along.

I know they are wive's tales - but I think with boys you just show quicker

At 8 weeks, I was in maternity clothes and strangers were asking me when I was due. So it's definitely possible.

This is my 10 week belly pic:

Wow Coreen! I think I looked like that at 20 weeks with ds. I was telling DH last night that I already feel so uncomfortable, but I didnt think it would start so soon! I'm glad it seems to be a normal thing
