When did you pop (2+ moms)

Misses-C · August 2012

I feel like I've just popped, like really popped. When did you? I know you pop earlier with the more kids you have, but when did you?

Just recently - 19ish weeks. Last time, I can't remember exactly but I was over 20.

I can't remember exactly when but I started showing very early on and right now I look like I can't stretch anymore. By the end of the day my legs and feet start hurting and my feet swell up. I can't imagine how I will be by the end of the 3rd tri.

not yet, still chunky looking. Last time it was like 22 weeks.

sure I have a belly, but I always did so it doesn't look nice and round yet. Hard to believe you popped at 15 weeks!

Definitely recently - so I feel ya. I'm a small person though (5'1 and normally 115lbs) with a short torso so there isn't much room for anything!

I think height has more to do with it then anything.

20weeks with my first, and around 18weeks with my 2nd and with this LO.

Not until pretty recently. I would say around 21 weeks. It felt like a long wait and once it happened I feel like I am getting bigger by leaps and bounds!

With #1 I was 24 weeks, before I really popped, this time I was 18 weeks.

With DS (my first) I started wearing maternity clothes at 21-ish weeks. With DD1 (my second) I started wearing maternity clothes at 19-20-ish weeks. With DD2 (this, my third pregnancy) I was in maternity clothes at 16 weeks. I'm 26 weeks now, but still not that big. I never got as big with DD1 as I did with DS, and I'm wondering if I just carry girls smaller than boys... ? Granted, I do have an entire trimester to go in which I have ample time to get bigger...

I still haven't - and I'm glad to see I'm not alone. It feels like so many women "pop" early here and I've got nothing. With #1 it was around 22/23 weeks.

I don't think so, I'm only 5'1" too! But you're slim so its going to be more obvious when it pokes out. For me, it just looks like more cushion for a while lol

I feel like I started to show in a matter of days. Last week, everyone was telling me I was too small and did not show. I sent my sister a picture two days ago and she thinks I am huge. I have noticed a difference between last week and this week. With my first, I did not start showing until 6 months, and I mean really show. Most of that had to do with swelling though.

LadyMadrid08 · August 2012

With DD I think I popped around 23 weeks or so. I'm guessing it'll be a couple weeks earlier, but not before 19 weeks with this one going off how low my uterus still was at my appointment yesterday and how flat my tummy is still looking (aside from the usual pooch I've got). That's fine with me. I'd like to be able to bend over and pick up DD easily as long as possible!

featherust · August 2012

Last time 20 weeks. This time 17 weeks...and I really popped this time!

PeonyPumps · August 2012

I have a belly now, at 22 almost weeks, but it is completely different and seems much smaller than with DS, maybe because I'm still nursing him?

*LrCg* · August 2012

They say you pop earlier but that never happened to me- its always been @20-22 weeks and my kids are all back to back (less than a 1 1/2 years appart). I'm short and petite too but I just never get a big belly.

brookemarie1025 · August 2012

I actually had DH take a picture of my belly this morning, and I really noticed I'd popped within the last week. Much more round now instead of a "beer gut" for lack of better terms!

I started showing with DS early on in comparison to what I've read. (17 weeks) But I also started putting weight on immediately with him. I figured with a second+ pregnancy, I'd start showing super early, but really, I just started to show (to where strangers can tell that I'm pregnant) about last weekend. That, and I've only gained 2 pounds so far, which feels better than the last time. So, overall, it's only been about 2 weeks earlier than the last time.
