February 2016 Moms

Second time mom question

hi! I'm Aimee and I just found out I'm expecting feb. 2015. I'm just 5 weeks now but have been hearing from my other mom friends that they showed dramatically sooner from first to second? Was this true for you moms with multiple births?

Re: Second time mom question

  • I'm showing way faster (like I'm in maternity clothes at 6ish weeks and look 12 weeks along). Sure, it's mostly bloat, but I can feel my fundus and my abs are not what they used to be and have given up.

  • I definitely showed faster with my second. I had a friend at work notice when I was like 6 weeks. This time I didn't notice anything until today. I am so bloated. I'm seriously thinking about breaking out my maternity shorts.




  • This is my third, but with my second I didn't show any sooner than with my first. And I also was smaller/gained less all around with my second. So I would say it wasn't true for me. I'm only 6 weeks now, so can't go off much, but so far nothing is happening in the blump/bump area.

  • I showed a bit sooner with my second, nothing dramatic though.

  • Yes, I was in maternity clothes by 8 weeks with #2. That's about 4 weeks earlier than #1.

  • This is my second and I was just looking at my photos of my last pregnancy at this time and I definitely am already showing more. It definitely looks more like the awkward your gaining some weight phase still---but I don't weigh more than I did when I was pregnant with DS. I too am sure it is all bloat since baby is just the size of a pea right now. Think after today I might be putting away my jeans for a while. I have regretted wearing them all day. Still trying to hold out on the maternity clothes for a few more weeks. I got so sick and tired of wearing them by the end of my last pregnancy. So my plan is to wear at least my regular shirts for as long as possible.
