2nd or more time moms come in

vspek · April 2011

I just wanted to see when did you pop the first time and when did you pop the second time? Was it sooner the second time?

Also, when did/will you tell work?

I am a bit hesitant saying anything at work this time around as I came back from Maternity leave a little over a year ago and now I am pg again. Not sure how my boss will react to it this time. She was happy last time around, but then she was also pregnant.

I am waiting until like 10 weeks to tell at least, and I love my boss she's awesome. I obviously haven't popped yet this time (only 4-5 weeks) but last time I was around 20ish weeks were I finally started feeling like I looked pregnant. Now with all my yucky belly from last LO I have no idea when I will pop.

I actually never really popped with either of mine. I started wearing maternity at 19 weeks with #1 and 7 weeks with #2. My kids grow in my butt. I seriously didn't look like i as pregnant until 8 months along with either of them. And they both came a month early so there wasn't much time with my belly.

I am hoping it will be different this time and I can finally have my basketball belly I have been wanting. ( A girl can dream right? )

Last time it was around 17 weeks, this time I am still just bloated, although I have made the transition to maternity pants. I have told work, and I am in the same boat as you

Thankfully, I work in a very relaxed office.

With DD, I popped around 16 weeks. I'm still not showing yet

Pocky873 · April 2011

Obviously I'm not showing yet. With DD, I popped at around 16-18 weeks. I'm assuming that I'll show sooner than that with this one. I told myself I'd tell work at 4 months or when it looks obvious and I can't hide it anymore, whichever comes sooner.

Bride2b2004 · April 2011

I would tell work around 12w. That is standard notice. I felt fluffier sooner with #2, but no one else could tell. I could have probably hid it 'till about 20w if I HAD to.

skyfarm15 · April 2011

I was around 17-19 weeks last time. So far nothing yet, but I expect it to be soon, since I am 10 pounds lighter that I was at this stage last time. I told work early because I have to protect myself and my practice. (I work in a hospital in direct patient care)

With baby #1 I was barely showing around 18 weeks... probably more like 20 week that I really started showing. I don't know what will happen this time.... I am not showing yet but I am still super early only about 7 1/2- 8 weeks... I can't wait to be showing though

lkf041 · April 2011

I popped with #1 around 24ish weeks and with #2 around 20-21 weeks.

I told work around 15-16 weeks with each pregnancy. This will be my 3rd mat leave in 3 years so yeah, I hear you on being hesitant to tell work.

Kalamazaar · April 2011

I have to tell work immediately due to the nature of my job. Sometimes I work with dangerous chemicals/paint and I work on a boat doing law enforcement/search and rescue.

With DD I didn't pop until around 20 weeks and I'm still not showing with this one.

vanessa11411 · April 2011

With DD I didn't show until maybe 4 months but I was alot thinner 6 years ago.

Gen & Joel · April 2011

I started showing around 16wks with my first and I think i'm gonna show early with this one as well! I told work right away because#1 i work at a doctor's office and the're is so much going on all the time with flu and strep and all that kind of stuff that i'd like to stay away from if possible and #2 we are all very close there and they are like family.

MrsG.060708 · April 2011

I popped around 18 weeks with DD...I'm not showing yet with this baby, I'm only 10 weeks.

epopp85 · April 2011

With DS I popped around 16-18wks but I'm so bloated with this one and my skin is still so loose from DS that I look about like I did at 13 wks last time. I'm already having to use the bella band and early maternity pants. BOOOO!!!

I was hoping to wait awhile to pull out the box of materinty clothes but oh well. What do you do right?

kevinsgrl · April 2011

With #1 I popped around 23 weeks, with #2 around 13 weeks.. It was a huge difference!
