How soon is soon?

I know they say you start showing "sooner" with the second pregnancy.... But how soon is soon??

AppleRidge · October 2015

For me, the bloat is pretty much unhideable at 7w.

I think it depends on the person. At 9 weeks, I can just feel that bouncy/hard feeling of (I think) the top of my uterus just above my pelvic bone in the front (it wasn't like that last week). I'm not showing yet though, and my bloat is not quite as bad now as it was a few weeks ago.

I'm 10 week and I also like @kbrands7 anche starting to feel he uterus; however I'm not showing yet. Except my jeans are super tight and the zipper is exposed which is embarrassing!

I'm 9w1d and feel...kind of 'puffy' but all my pants still generally fit.

I'm 8w1d and feel completely bloated and huge still. This is my 4th and I got a belly band to see if that will help my pants as we still won't be telling anyone for another month.

I am only 6w4d...buttt the bloat is awful.

I also have to keep in mind that I was really fit, with abs and a small waist..so these changes are really taking a toll on my body. I have awful MS..all day, and the constipation is terrible. This is more bloat than anything currently...but I'm "pretty rounded".

With my first I didn't show much until about 6 months.

This is my first; however, I've lost a lot of weight, and I feel like that makes me "stretchier" than some. I wake up looking normal. By noon, I look like I ate a whole pizza. With certain shirts on, I look 6 months pregnant. HA

10 weeks and a couple of days right now. The bloat was really uncomfortable the last month but it's seemed to have calmed down a bit (although I still get full super fast) and my pants are fitting still. So no one can see that I'm pregnant...yet. Lol. This second one isn't that much different than my first one back in '12. Just the bloating is what I'm noticing that's "new". :-)

Looking at my belly pics from last time (which we did roughly every 2-3 weeks, wearing the same outfit each time), I was starting to show at 11 weeks. Which means, at 8 weeks now, I'm expecting to start showing any day now. lol.

LadySamLady · October 2015

@countrygrl5533 I am relieved to hear that you started showing with your first at 11 weeks because I am a FTM, hitting 11 weeks tomorrow and I think I might actually be starting to show... Early on my stomach would look totally normal in the morning and then blump out by the end of the day but it has been popped out since yesterday AM and won't budge.

9 weeks, 2 days and I look like I did at 18 weeks with my first (comparing pics). I haven't gained a lb either.

kami09 · October 2015

It's annoying when people say you can't possibly be showing that early with your first. With my son, I popped early and got a huge belly! As in, people were asking if it was any day now at 26 weeks

This time around, I still have a bit of belly from my first plus the bloat...I just stick it out. I don't care.

I'm 10weeks 4 days today...definitely have a little blump happening. Too high to be uterus, definitely just bloat but feeling tighter and harder around uterus area. Thankfully clothes still fitting. Haven't put on much weight due to inability to eat lots of food...I'm almost grateful!
