When did you show with #2?
When I look back at pics from my 1st pregnancy, my stomach really didnt stick out for quite awhile (though back then I thought I was huge to begin with)....after having DD, my stomach never looked the same-I felt like even a few months ago I looked a few months pregnant just bc I carry all of my weight in my stomach, which I hate. I'm just about 10wks now and I already feel at that fat stage-where you're not showing, but you feel bloated and tubby. My aunt pointed out yesterday (she does know I'm pregnant) that I already have a "little belly" and I just saw her a week ago-I personally dont think I changed that much in a week. And my shorts I put on today are fitting a little snug-doubt I'll make it through the summer in them

Re: When did you show with #2?
I was pretty much in maternity pants by 10 weeks with #2.
I don't even want to know how soon it will be with this one. I already have the "little belly". I've decided I'm going to live the summer in stretchy skirts!

with my first, I hid it until 18-22 weeks.
the second time around, it was more like as soon as I hit the 2nd trimester, I could not fit in pre preg clothes.

I have to unpack my maternity pants this weekend bc I wore my pants half unbottoned all day at work today! Luckily I have the coat over it. Akward.
I could tell a few weeks ago. With dd, I would say it was around 4 months or so. I look at my 3 month pic and my stomach is flat. I look at my 5 month pic, and that is how I look now - 2 months early!
I had my dress fitting for my sister's wedding yesterday. It didn't fit at all. She let out all the seams and I ordered extra fabric that should be coming in the next few weeks. But I mentioned how with dd I wasn't even showing yet and she said "Oh, you are just carrying differently." But that is the thing - there wasn't enough to carry anyway last time! Plus, I love how the wte book says something to the effect that we shouldn't be showing yet, and if you are it is changes in your bowels. Lovely.
With my first I was sick the whole pregnancy. I lost a ton of weight and didn't really show until about 6 months and fully popped at 8.
Since my pregnancies were so close to together I didn't get myself in to shape in between. I lost weight but needed to loose a lot more and tone. So I showed fairly early this time. At 10-12 weeks I had that bloat you are talking about. I am 23 weeks now and this morning I looked at my big belly and thought omg where did this come from?
There is a girl I know who is also pregnant. She is normally pretty petite. This is her second with years in between her two babies. She has been pretty big this whole pregnancy.
I can't imagine what I will look like with # 3.
I felt like I got to the pudgy stage- earlier (like around 12 weeks) but now my belly is finally starting to harden.
Clothes have been tough- I can wear some clothes I wore pre-pregnancy Lorenzo but between Lorenzo and this baby I lost 35 lbs so the new stuff I bought- I can't wear...
the bonus is summer clothing should start going on sale right around now (July 4th kicks off the summer clothes sale since most stores get fall 1 at the end of July)
