Pregnant after 35

2nd, 3rd+ time moms, when did you start to show

Hello all,

 I realize that this is a silly question and I also realize that it depends on height, body weight pre-pg, build etc, but when did you start showing with your 2nd pregnancy.

 I'm short and a petite build. When I was pg last time ( mc @ 16 wks), it seemed like I started to show at about 14-16wks, at least if you knew what you were looking for ;)

 

I'm at 7wks from LMP and I feel so darn big. My pants are tight, but it's probably just bloat ;P

Thanks!

  • I started to show @ 6 weeks believe it or not!!!

  • Very early 9-10 weeks and it was NOT bloat. Now I look a lot further along then I am. I have a hard time convincing people that i am not due until March and I am quite sure there is only 1 in there.

  • this time around, I lost my waist at 12 weeks, went into maternity at 16 weeks, and, as of last week (19 weeks) feel like I have a real bump. I'm about 5-6 weeks ahead of last time, but I can still hide it if I wear loose stuff, and if you don't know me well - I look more fat than pg.

    I feel massive, and I'm really hoping that it levels off soon - otherwise I'll be the size of a small elephant when I deliver!

  • Still waiting...but I'm also still down 10 pounds and had a nice layer of belly fat camo to begin with. I was in maternity at 16w with #1...
  • I started to show about 8 weeks but then I just gave birth to DS about three months before that.

  • Not showing yet but I'm "fluffy" and have lost weight since becoming pregnant.

     I think it's normal to show earlier with subsequent pregnancies, esp. when you are petite. 

  • When I wear a close fitting Tshirt, I can see a definite bulge at 7 weeks. It could be bloat, but I'm not sure. I, too, am short with a petite build, so I'm thinking I'm already starting to show. With DS I didn't start to show until 15 weeks or so.
  • This is my third time around and I was in maternity by week 10.  Comparing picture between DD#2 and DS I 'look' like I did at 28wks. pregnant but will only be 23 tomorrow.  I started looking pregnant this time around about week 15ish.  GL!!!
  • I started wearing my maternity pants around 9weeks and I started this pg weighing less than I did when I got pg with DS.  I feel like I'm definitely showing now and even felt that way when I was around 6-7 weeks, but DH said I didn't look it.

    ditto

  • This is my third pregnancy (5th if you count two mc's at 5 and 7 weeks before my two DS's were born) and at almost 9 weeks I am already showing.  But I also am 65 pounds lighter than I was with my last.  Also, had my 1st DS at 25, 2nd DS at 29 and now I am almost 39, so I think age and "wear" (lol) have something to do with it.
