If you've already had a baby.

Jen1231 · July 2010

Are you showing yet? I heard that you "pop" a lot sooner after already being pregnant. I just want to keep it a secret at work until at least the second trimester.

Do you think you're starting to show earlier than last time around?

SarahTx5701 · July 2010

I'm definetly more bloated early on and it was hard to hide.

I was just about to say how I thought it was going down, but that could be because I have no eaten any food in two days...haha.

I definetly could not fit into my prepreg clothes very easily. I've been wearing dresses and using the belly band.

Brittanie_1987 · July 2010

I don't know about "showing" yet, but the bloat is way more ridiculous this time around!

mlkbride03 · July 2010

So far, no. I'm pretty sure no one would think I was pregnant yet, maybe a little chubby in the tummy. but, not showing. my shorts still button!

mrsmyers8 · July 2010

Nope just a little bloating. I am not holding my breath on showing early. I didn't start showing till i was 8 months along, then popped out in the end. I never thought i would get that baby belly. I too dont want to show till later. I will wait and see...

Im DEF not showing yet. If have been wearing alot of dresses and using the bella band bc the bloat has been pretty bad.... but it has started going down. It is def harder to hold my stomach in this time.... prob bc my body already knows "what to do"

My abs are pretty much non existant now ( the hormone your body produces during pregnancy relaxes your abdominal muscles to make way for the growing belly) but like I said Def No baby bump yet

Ad.Interim · July 2010

So far, no. But I am not very far along.

MrsTotty · July 2010

The bloating is INSANE this time around, and I am already in maternity pants.

HockeyWife4Life · July 2010

I definitely have a mini bump/bloat much earlier this time around. However, I just announced the news at work and everyone said that they wouldn't have guessed. I suspected everyone already knew because I felt like I was starting to show but I guess I am the only one who can tell. I am still wearing all of my regular clothes and haven't gained any weight but my belly definitely sticks out more than before.

Beccaboo0713 · July 2010

I don't think I am showing. I look like I swallowed a lot of air but I am definitely not showing.

staycee · July 2010

I had no bloat the first time around.

I've had a ridiculous amount of bloat this time. My clothes don't fit.

FutureMrsCaesar · July 2010

I think I probably look about the same as 9 weeks last time around. If anything I might start showing a couple weeks sooner, but I don't expect it to be dramatically different. I do feel super bloated by the end of the day, and I can't remember if that happened in my first pregnancy or not, but it probably did. Even when I'm bloated though I don't think I look pregnant to anyone else, maybe just like I ate too much

_lobsters__ · July 2010

This is my first and I feel like the bloat I have now is pretty crazy! I had a tank top on yesterday after work when my sister stopped over. She looked at my belly and said "is that for real?"! Haha!

My stomach is normally pretty flat, so the bit of bloating I have now makes me look like I just ate Thanksgiving dinner!

I can't wait to get an actual baby BUMP tho!

blessedsunshine · July 2010

with both of my girls i didn't show until 5-6 mos. i suspect the same will happen. i think maybe i was carrying low. Maybe it depends on where the baby is.... not sure. I know some show earlier with the second. I had heard the same thing, but that wasn't the case for me.

:-D [just got my BFP today...baby #3!]

secuccaro · July 2010

I don't look bigger and I weigh 5 pounds less this time around.

same here

shouldbworkin · July 2010

The 2nd time around I had an unmistakeable baby bump by 9 weeks,my coworkers were onto me early. the 3rd time around I was going to have to come clean by 7 weeks, but had a m/c. I'm expecting the same thing this time around, hopefully.

This!

rosesandpeonies · July 2010

I had major bloat in the beginning...then around 9 weeks I really started having some sort of a belly...prob a bloated belly but family that knew said they could tell. Now I all of a sudden definitely have a belly and the first person asked me if I was pregnant today. I guess it was pretty apparent since most people don't ask unless they are sure. I am thinner by 20lbs this time getting pregnant so I don't know if that is why or what....but I have to go and buy maternity clothing soon.

Jaylea · July 2010

I am. In looking at pictures from last time, I now look like I did last time at about 16 weeks. My measure was always when my belly stuck out more than the b00bs.... and I hit that a couple of weeks ago.

What's weird to me is that last time it started very low, and spread up. This time it kind of all jumped out at once, perfectly round.

I am sure some of it is bloat, but it doesn't go away completely overnight, and I'm in maternity clothes now.

I was actually down below the weight I was pre-pregnancy last time... so it's not just that I am fatter this time around. Wink

gwenypher7 · July 2010

I've been really bloated above my belly-button area this time - kind of like the organs shifted earlier. I started wearing maternity clothes this time around 7 weeks because they were just more comfy. I look about 5 months pregnant right now, but it's not really a hard bump yet - just that bloat!

MrsR0908 · July 2010

Nope, not yet. Bloat at the end of the day but nothing else.

Mrs Anderson · July 2010

I'm so bloated already. I'm wondering if the bump will come sooner than last time too. I sorta hope so... so i dont just feel fat lol

culawbride · July 2010

I've had about 10 people ask me when I'm due... so if its just bloat I'm really bloated

2bejunebride06 · July 2010

No, but I feel super bloated and I don't remember feeling like this the first time around. I was able to easily hide it at work until I told my boss at 11 weeks last time and I don't think that is going to happen this time - I am definitely going to tell earlier. Smile

state721 · July 2010

At first it seemed like I was going to pop a lot sooner- the bloat was worse for me than the first time. But it has slowed down and as far as I can see, I am on the same schedule as the first time. That's this week, probably will change next!

SpartanGirl · July 2010

It's still too early for me to be showing, but I definitely starting showing earlier with subsequent pregnancies.

wall0307 · July 2010

I'm not showing yet. I think it's to early to tell if I will show earlier.
