2nd time and on moms, are you showing?

Hi, I'm 5 weeks and showing, this my 2nd pregnancy my son is 3. How is that possible? I look like 3 months pregnant! I am trying to wait until 14 weeks to announce to work and friends but I don't see how I will be able to hide my belly that long! Are any other mom showing already? Why am I so big already? Does mean I will HUGE this pregnancy? I was big last time but I wasn't showing this soon. Other moms please share. Txz

  • I was, the bloat was outrageous. When I hit 6 weeks it subsided a bit. I still have a bit of a bump but that's basically what is leftover from last time and I just don't feel the need to suck it in anymore.

  • I have lots of bloat by the end of the day! This is by second and ds just turned 1. I'm sure I'll be showing soon with twins though.
  • I have a lot of bloat... Dr told me to expect to be in maternity clothes sooner and things to be quicker with feelings and movements

  • No, not yet. I am 7.5 weeks with my fourth. I do have a lot of bloating some days, but nothing that would be noticeable (or I guess it might be, but no one would actually say something about it). 
  • I'm 7 wks today, and my DD is 2. While I do have bloat, I noticed a little bump just above my c/s scar (separate frlast week. It's now risen to about an inch above the scar.
  • Sorry **separate from bloat.
  • My shape has changed, and at 7 weeks now I'm in maternity pants.

     

  • 3rd kid here. I've been "showing" for 2 weeks already. It's probably still bloat, but getting harder and harder to suck it in. :(

  • No...I'm 5 weeks today and definitely not showing. I get pretty bloated in the late afternoon and evening, but I sitll don't look like I'm pregnant. Just like I ate too big of a meal or something.

  • I don't think so.  I was a couple pounds above my normal weight before I got pregnant so I think any belly is just that.  I can still wear my normal jeans and work pants.

  • @christieep same here. I was up in weight a little this time (had just started hitting the gym again in fact) when we got our BFP. I definitely think I just look and feel fat. :(

  • I feel like I'm showing but not that noticeable to anyone else. I think it is just a whole lot of bloating! Ugh! But so happy for a sticky baby! :)

  • I am REALLY bloated at night but by the morning it's back down.  DH was like, "you're showing already!" and I snapped at him saying it was just bloat, baby is the size of a blueberry it's not the baby.

  • My FIL told me I had a pooch this weekend. I was *this* close to smacking him. I'm definitely bloated earlier this time around. I'm pretty small to begin with and I didn't really have a belly until 16 weeks last time.

    haha, I'd rather blame it on the baby instead of the bloat!

  • Thankfully not yet.  I am hoping to keep this underwraps at work until November.  But is super hard every keeps saying that I look tired and my office is right next to another mommy to be.  It is so hard to not go over and take babies.

  • Crazy amounts of bloat.....but that is all :)  I'm 6 weeks today with my 3rd!

  • 7 weeks and I'm not showing yet, just some bloat in the evening.  Even though I'm only 5'2", I carried small last time, I didn't even look pregnant until 20+ weeks and I was still using regular pants until 25 weeks even though I carried low.

    I'm 5 +4 along and this is my 2nd. Dd is 10 months (today :) ) and I just look kinda fat, like maybe I should lay off the doughnuts...
  • The bloat is making me look like I'm showing I have totally broken into my maternity pants to be comfortable which is insane since I'm only 7wks

  • I'm only 5 weeks and not showing at all yet. Just have a little bloat but my pants still fit fine.

  • I don't think I'm showing a bump but the bloat makes me look like I've gained some weight. Hate this awkward stage before the real bump appears.

  • Last time (1st pregnancy), I didn't start showing until 20 weeks, I don't think a stranger officially commented until I was at 25 weeks.  This time I have a ton of bloat after eating but not in the morning.  So I wouldn't say I'm showing but I can notice my belly and how I will be carrying this pregnancy (low again)

  • I am 7 weeks with #4 and not showing yet. Although I feel bloated. Very very bloated!!!
  • At this point, I'm pretty sure my stomach poking out is me, not baby. 

    What is bloat?  Everybody talks about it and I don't know what it is.  Gas?  Too much food?  (It always makes me think of roadkill on a hot day, so hearing about it over and over grosses me right out.)
  • I look pregnant even though I know it is not baby yet. Friends are starting to notice now. I put on pants this morning that I had to force button and by 10am I unbuttoned them. I will be switching to maternity over the weekend!! I am around 9 weeks and my daughter is 14 months.

  • Six weeks here with my second and I definitely already look pregnant. Not good. Lol
  • 7wks right now, I told one of the ladies in my volunteer office (I feel pretty close to her), she has been keeping it quiet about it, but she said I am definitely showing when you look at me from the side. I didn't show until 17 weeks and could wear my regular jeans for a while. My jeans are already uncomfortable.
  • I'm 5 weeks and I feel bloated. Like most of you it's worse in the evening and late afternoon. Although it so early and I feel so big when look down at my fat tummy, I smile. Soon this tummy will look like a baby and not like I just ate 3 large pizza ;-)
