Are you already showing with #2?

ChristinaCMP · December 2015

I'm 9w preggers with #2 and already showing - a lot. (My mom even joked about how many babies are in there... not funny.) I didn't want to tell my boss or co-workers for another couple of weeks... But it's getting hard to conceal!
Anyone else noticing they are showing a lot sooner with #2?

It's most likely bloat...

jwittwer · December 2015

Agree with PP-- baby is roughly the size of an olive at 9 weeks and tucked way back in there, so it's likely bloat

@mrsodonnell12 - How is pregnancy #4 going for you? I did show sooner/faster with pregnancy #2, so Im hoping #3 isn't even worse.

I'm. So. Bloated. I'm nearly 7 weeks and look 3 months pregnant right now. And I'm very thin around my waist which is making it so much more obvious.

The funny thing about showing is that it is obvious to us ladies super early but most average people can't tell until you're about 5-6 months along.

So even though you may be thinking omg i look huge! This is totally obvious! Most people are oblivious until you are at least 20 weeks along. This has been may experience with my last 2 pregnancies.

I'm very tall/slender as well... So even if it is just "bloat", people in my office who have known me for the last 8 years know that I never walk around looking this bloated. They are definitely starting to think something's up. LOL My boss (female) has casually touched my side twice today, whether she realizes it or not I'm not sure. Maybe it's her subconscious trying to figure out what's going on with me. Or, maybe it's just me being self-conscious! HAHA Who knows...

It's bloat. That said, I'm much more bloated this time around than with any other pregnancy. Thank god for sweaters and scarves.

I vote yes! We told my mom at 7 weeks and she had already noticed my belly being a bump and not that I ate too many Christmas cookies. My OB said you show earlier for a 2nd pregnancy.

mermaidbina · January 2016

Yes, now with #3 it is even worse. My uterus is 2x as big right now, so I guess it makes sense? I always show early, even with #1. I am on the leaner side, maybe that has something to do with it?

1faceinacrowd · January 2016

It may not be the baby that's poking out, but it is your uterus! That sucker doubles in size by 9 weeks or so and if you've already had one, those muscles in your abdomen already know what to do to let the uterus really show. I'm with you mama, I can't even button my stupid pants!

Hammond142 · January 2016

Yes!! I'm 8 weeks with number 2 and I've definitely a bump albeit probably bloat!!

mooncusp22 · January 2016

I feel like I am showing faster with #2. But, I agree it's bloat too. I definitely bloated a lot with DD1 but was still able to hide it for a few months (bloat eventually went away & my stomach flattened back out.)

jacmkelley · January 2016

Bloat or showing, I'm with you! 9 weeks 2 days and my body has definitely started to change.

mumblefrog86 · January 2016

I was in maternity pants at 11 weeks with baby 1 and I am almost 9 weeks and am showing. I am going to get maternity pants for work because my regular do not fit already.

Scorpiomom84 · January 2016

I'm only 6w 2d and feel like I'm showing. I don't know if it's because I'm bloated from constipation or what! I feel like I'll be in maternity clothes soon than later! Definitely won't be able to hide this pregnancy as long as I did with my daughter. Our families and close friends know but I don't want the world to know until our first ultrasound just to be safe.

@ThisisNumber3 I definitely showed faster with each pregnancy so far, but with #3 it still wasn't until like 15-16w when it turned from.bloat to belly.

LilLambie · January 2016

I'm 10 weeks today and I definitely have a bump. Up until last week it was totally blump but I've noticed my stomach has gotten smaller then last week and is now rock hard. I think it might be because I was pregnant a couple of months ago so my stomach muscles never healed.

Bethyboo26 · January 2016

I'm only 8 weeks and I look like I did at 20 weeks with my first.

Bloat or not... this is crazy and it's going to be super obvious pretty soon.

Thanks. Thats what I'm hoping. I would like to wear my "Fat" pants (pants a size up) and baggy sweaters to work until then if I could.

SkiChic626 · January 2016

I'm not "showing," but I'm definitely a lot more bloated than I was at this point with #1.

GRJC · January 2016

I agree it's most likely bloat, but I'm with you. This is my second one and I feel like with not as toned ab muscles the bloat is showing much more. I've been trying to drink as much water as possible and cut salt intake. It is what it is, lol.

pelorunningmama · January 2016

I'm pretty bloated and am not even 7 weeks yet. As the day goes on, the bigger and bigger the bloat gets. My go to uniform for work will be leggings with a tunic and a vest over top. Should be comfortable and should conceal. Thank goodness for winter pregnancy!

Ktande22 · January 2016

Def feeling the bloat so far, although the past few days it seems to be calming down so maybe at almost 9 weeks my body is finally getting with the program with dd1 i didnt even have a hint at 12 weeks. Ds I was showing super early, but i had a mc right before so things were all crazy with me. This time the bloat is bad, but with it settling Im realiznig im still at my starting weight. Just feeling "puffy" however that whole 4-5 month people cant tell doesnt ring true for me even a little. Once I pop 14-16 wks with my first and 8-10 weeks with my 2nd, I get huge, fast.. Hoping I can keep it slow and steady this time. Im crazy shortwaisted at 5 ft 2 and theres just nowhere for baby to go!

cher8024 · January 2016

I am in the same boat, 7 weeks but look 3 months. I started showing at 9 weeks last time because my hips are so narrow they couldn't hide my growing uterus. It may be bloat but I could also be your uterus Pippi g up early due to space.
