2nd Trimester

If this is your 2nd pregnancy - ?

When did you start showing? 

We are hoping to wait until the end of first tri to tell everyone again, but my best friend (the only person who knows now) said I'll be lucky if it's not obvious by then . . . She couldn't hide #2 past 11 weeks!

  • With #1 I didnt show until 24 weeks, with this one I started around 15 weks or so, but it was still hide-able with a loose shirt or something for quite a while after.  We didnt tell till 13 weeks and no one had a clue.

    The moment a child is born, the mother is also born. She never existed before. The woman existed, but the mother, never. A mother is something absolutely new.
  • This is my 4th pregnancy, 3rd to get this far and I had trouble hiding it past about 12 weeks - I had to wear baggy clothes and just stayed at my desk at work...I didn't want them to know any earlier than I had to tell.  I was really uncomfortable though - my pants were tight.  I look like I"m at least 6 months pg already now and I have not gained any actual weight - I'm worried once my appetite kicks back in that I'll be big as a house in no time.  If anyone asks then you can decide if you want to say something but if you don't want to tell then don't - people may wonder but it would be pretty bold of them to ask. 

  • Thanks ladies!  That gives me some hope!  I admit, I had to LOL at "prestretched!"

  • Not until about 21 weeks.
  • With DD I started showing at, like, 10 weeks. This time around I just started showing in the last week... and even then, it just looks like I ate a full meal. But, for reference, I weighed 40 pounds more when I started out pregnant with DD than I did starting out this pregnancy.

  • I guess it all depends. Some days I look really pregnant, and some days I don't. I think what shirt I'm wearing has a lot to do with it. Today I'm wearing fat clothes from when I was losing the baby weight from DS. So I don't look at all pregnant today.

    I still feel like I just look fat at this point.  I'm hoping I start to actually look pregnant in the next few weeks.

  • I told work at 14 weeks. I could have easily hidden it for a couple more, so I think you will be fine.

    It was pretty obvious at 11 weeks with this pregnancy. I didn't show until about 15 weeks with the first one. But I am pretty tiny with a normally flat stomach.

  • I feel like I started to show the second I POAS, haha! Seriously though I started to really show around 9 weeks this time I think, that's when there was no hiding it at all anymore.

  • not till about 14/15 weeks, and I am still barely showing.  I can wear a regular shirt and hide my belly pretty well.
  • This is my 2nd pregnancy and I am 13 weeks 4 days. I am now beginning to look pregnant. I can still wear my regular shirts but definately needing maternity pants.
  • I can still pull of not telling people. somethings I wear are more obvious but in everyday clothes you can't tell. I am bigger with #2 so far but with #1 I didn't have a true bump till almost 20 weeks. It's not till 30 weeks that I exploded! haha
