How quickly did you show with #2?

MKC101103 · September 2010

I'm very newly pregnancy (via IVF) and I swear my pants are tighter already b/c of a tiny baby bump. Did anyone else show super fast with their second pregnancy??

I'm much more bloated this time around, but it goes back down overnight.

Congrats!

I started showing with #1 around 15 weeks, and while #2 showed sooner, it was only by a couple of weeks or so. (all depended on the time of day) I was around 18-20 weeks when people other than immediate family started noticing (with both pregnancies).

With this pregnancy, in the morning, my tummy is pretty flat.. minor bloat, regular pants fitting pretty tight, but still manageable. By the nighttime, my tummy is huge and bloated and the only pants that feel good are maternity pants or pajama pants.

Sounds like me. My pants are getting tighter and very bloated

I'm not 'showing' per se, but if you look closely and know what to look for when I'm in a bathing suit, you could probably tell that something's up. I'm definitely more bloated this time around, that's for sure!

FWIW, a good friend had IVF and she was literally showing from the get go...she had some overstimulation issues, but she definitely had a bump almost from her BFP.

i am the same way, but it's not a baby bump, it's bloat. and on my part, left over belly fat from #1 !

I've been super bloated from the time I got my BFP, and just gave in right away and started wearing maternity clothes. The last day or two my "bump" has started getting firmer and more obvious. DH gave me a hug the other day and afterwards he pulled away and put his hand on my belly with a little smirk. When I asked him what was up he said he could feel my baby bump!

I started having significant bloat right away and had to start using the bella band at 6 weeks. I had several people, including coworkers, ask if I was pregnant by 8 weeks. However, there hasn't been a lot of change for 4 or 5 weeks. So, it started really early but then kind of stalled for a while.

I've been super bloated since about Tuesday (got my BFP last Saturday). I'm looking for flowing tops to hide it since I really don't want to tell anyone until about 8 weeks. I didn't have any bloat or show at all with DS until about 16 weeks.

I've been super bloated since the beginning but now at 12 weeks there's no hiding it. It's EXTREMELY visible to everyone and people have been asking me if I'm pregnant. I had to make the switch from the bella band to the maternity pants last week. Last time I was in maternity pants a little early at about 15 weeks.

I have been more bloated this time around. I started looking puffy two weeks ago and there are whispers of me being pregnant at work. My immediate manager knows, but no one else. He said many people have asked him if I'm pregnant. I have to wear maternity jeans for the bloat
