clothes fitting different? for 2nd+ x moms

in 2nd Trimester
Just wondering if 2nd or more time moms feel like they are bigger this time around? My maternity pants and underwear seem like they are smaller. Also, if you have already had your second, did you get back to, or close to your prepregnancy size? My 1st time around I almost got back to my prepregnancy weight and size, but not so sure if it will happen this time. TIA

    I am definitely bigger this go around.  I got back to my pre-pregnancy size after #1, but I hung onto 5lbs after #2 that I didn't lose before getting pregnant again.  However, 5lbs was pretty close, so I am hopeful I can get back to my original size after #3.

    I had to bust out maternity clothes at 6 weeks and comparing bump pics, I look like (now) what I was at 30 weeks with my first.  I feel like a very unattractive huge, fat cow this time around.

    I showed much sooner with this one and I feel like I am way bigger! I am in pants that I used at the end of my pregnancy with #1 and some are too tight. That makes me feel really great! I got back to prepregnancy size with #1 and I hope to do the same after #2.

    Yes, definately bigger this time.  And lower - some of the newer maternity shirts I bought recently are getting too short and I feel like I am constantly pulling them down when I stand up so my belly doesn't hang out from underneath.  I saw a pic of myself at 28 weeks with DD and about the same with this baby and yowza - definately bigger this time around.

    I am huge this time around!  I don't think I was this big with DS until I was in the mid 20 weeks.  I'm already having back and bending issues and I'm only 18 weeks.  I bounced back fast with DS but am worried that this time around will be tougher.

    I'll be the odd woman out.  I am MUCH smaller this time around.  Like, 20 lbs smaller.  I got back to my prepregnancy weight after having DS, but I haven't gained weight like I did the first time.

    I feel bigger this time, but comparing the week by week side by side, the bellies look the same.  I feel the clothes are a bit tighter, and wore maternity clothes a LOT earlier.

    It took me a year to get back to PP weight, we'll see if I can do it again.
