2nd time mommies (or 3rd or 4th....)

hispiggy · December 2010

Have a question for all of you....with my first pregnancy I did not buy/wear maternity clothes until nearly 24 weeks....I was 10 weeks yesterday and I am uncomfy in my regular clothes and am seriously considering busting out the maternity wear again! I expected to have a bump sooner the 2nd time around, but this seems early. I know alot of the "bump" is bloating....but I was just interested to hear how early others were "showing" the 2nd time around compared to the first...

I'm preg w/ my 2nd and about going on 11 weeks. My clothes already don't fit also.

Oh well.

I'm a 2nd time mom, and will be 11 weeks Saturday. I too didn't have to wear any maternity clothes until about 22 weeks last time, but am already either in maternity pants or bigger pants with the rubber band trick! I can't believe how fast it has seemed to happen this time, but I couldn't stand being uncomfortable anymore!

I didn't show with my DS till I was about 20+ weeks as well. I am currently 10 weeks and it is just more comfortable wearing maternity pants. Oh well.

I feel huge already! I look like I'm 20 weeks pregnant. I'm a smaller girl, but the first time, I hardly looked pregnant at the end. People couldn't believe how far along I was. I am a few pounds heavier than the first time around, but so was not expecting a bump so soon. Last time I didn't tell my employer until 11 weeks. There is not way I could have hid the bump this time around! I can't button my pants, but I just don't feel ready for the maternity pants yet. I suppose in another week or 2 I will have to get them out.

I'm in the same boat. I swear, my uterus just popped out overnight. Embarrassed

Today is day one of the maternity pants for me. I have a few stretchy normal ones that I can still wear as well. I guess last time I felt like I had something to prove, holding out for the last possible week, which was around 16 or 17. This time I am way more concerned with being comfortable, even if I do just look like I need to lay off the sweets.

I didn't start wearing maternity clothes until 23-24 weeks last time either. So far all of my pants fit just fine and I don't have any bloat. I'm curious to see when I'll start showing this time.

I'm not showing yet. Last time, I started showing at 20 weeks. This pregnancy could very well be similar, but I have no way to predict.

I busted out my maternity pants a few days ago and haven't looked back!

I am in the same boat. I can fit into my clothes but I look like one of those girls that should not be wearing that! I am also uncomfortable in the waist area. I really cant remember how long it took to wear mat clothes with DD#1, but I know with this pregnancy I am starting to get closer to hitting the maternity store. I have resorted to wearing sweat pants, leggings, over sized shirts right now. The bloat is starting to look like a bump for me too, and I am about 10 weeks tomorrow.
