Second Time Mothers and Your Baby Bumps

Is anyone noticing a big difference in your baby bumps this time around compared to your first? They say you are supposed to show sooner, but I am 15 1/2 weeks and I am still not showing, just getting a lil thicker.  I imagine any day now I will start to really poke out there, because it is still kind of early.

    Umm, yah. With DD I was still in pre-pg clothes until around 5 months. I started showing way earlier with DD#2. Had to break out my mat clothes around 2 months. My regular clothes were getting tighter and were pretty uncomfortable.

    With both pregnancies, I wore some mat jeans in the 1st trimester due to bloat/comfort. But with my first, I went back to normal ones from like 12-19 weeks. This time, they have taken over my closet since 7 weeks! And I started needing maternity shirts around 16 weeks (1st pregnancy, not till like 22!). I'd say I had a little bump around 17 weeks, but really noticeable now. I popped in the last week or so for sure! Started this pregnancy about 5-10 lbs heavier than 1st though. But I've felt this baby move a lot earlier too, so I just think your stomach area muscles are already stretched, so its easier to grow and feel the baby!

    My showing about the same this time around, although my bump looks a bit fuller than it did with my first. I'm still wearing non maternity clothes, but I can't say how much longer that will be for. lol

    I'm only a tiny bit bigger than I was with #1--I'm 21 weeks, still not wearing maternity, and only look pregnant at the end of the day.
