2nd time moms, when did you start to show?

Amybee5 · September 2016

Just wondering when you second time moms popped during your first pregnancy. I can't wait for the baby belly!

chickyclg · September 2016

18 weeks with twins

mcvgal · September 2016

I didn't really pop until about 25-26 weeks with my first.

psherman42wwsa · September 2016

I don't even really remember, but I do remember it taking longer than I thought. Maybe 20 weeks?

Candy_bandit · September 2016

Unfortunately I just looks like I had gained weight until probably 6-7 months- it sucked.

laurenann89 · September 2016

I think I was around 4 months when I got a pretty nice pooch going.

Icarriedawatermelon · September 2016

I remember still wearing my regular clothes to my 20 week anatomy scan. I think maternity clothes happened a couple weeks later.

mamatowildones · September 2016

I had a flat tummy with my first until 13 weeks it was a tiny little bump. I'd say I had a noticeable bump at 18! Second time and this time I already look like I did at 18 weeks. It's ridiculous.

pshaortao · September 2016

I saved my weekly bump picture from my first pregnancy so I had to pull that up ha. Around 15-16 weeks I just looked like I had a bigger pooch, but it started to round out by 18 weeks, then I started to look obviously pregnant by 22 weeks. I have more bloat this time around and heard that STMs bellies tend to pop out sooner.

MoshiMoshi7 · September 2016

I was still wearing my normal clothes around 20 weeks and don't think I had an actual "bump" until at least 25. I've heard you pop a lot sooner with your second, so it'll be interesting to see when this time around.

Anna2091 · September 2016

I had a noticable bump from around 20 weeks.

I hope I start showing a bit earlier this time around.

Jkp7749 · September 2016

This was me at 12 weeks last time. I had a big bump by 18 weeks.

Jkp7749 · September 2016

Sorry the picture is so huge... I thought it would be a lot smaller.

mdlorenz · September 2016

14-16 weeks -- little bump
18-20 weeks -- bigger bump

This. I'm overweight, so I don't look pregnant until about 7 months. But I feel it, so I definitely wear maternity clothes.

hp_momma · September 2016

It was the same for both of my girls, around 20 weeks. I actually gained 10 less lbs with my second pregnancy too!

SaVi925 · September 2016

I am 5'2 with a short torso. So everyone will show at different times.
With my first DS, I first began to officially show around 15 weeks. I was very tiny 98lbs(9 years ago).
With my second DS, it was more around 13 weeks. I was still a small frame around 105lbs.

I have no idea when I will start to show with this baby as I am currently 112lbs but I'm looking forward to the bloat calming down and the bump beginning to show. I'm sure it won't be long since I have a small torso.
Everyone is different though.

ekw832001 · September 2016

I started showing with my first pregnancy around 20 weeks. I have extra fluff naturally so my kiddo was hidden for a while. Now..just a 6weeks I feel like I'm showing bit I know I'm not. Just bloated

flychick-2 · September 2016

I literally have a bump now at 6 weeks. I took my first bump pic yesterday. This bump is brought to you courtesy of bloating and no ab muscles.

emilyalso · September 2016

I had a TINY bump at 22 weeks - I would post the pic, but I was in my underwear!

Stormy61 · September 2016

I noticed the first real bump at 18 w but I could still hide it. It wasn't really out there until after 22 weeks. But I think I'll be showing a lot earlier this time.

vrj0522 · September 2016

I had a small bump that wasn't obvious early on but didn't actually pop until 23 wks.

mrsrep123 · September 2016

I popped at 24 weeks. It was finally a little more round. I was poking out around 18 weeks.

march2008 · September 2016

I had to look back at my pictures. By week 15, I had a tiny pooch that I don't think anyone but myself would have noticed. By week 19, I had a decent sized bump.

IvyMagic828 · September 2016

I think I really popped around 22 weeks, but there is a slow progression of slowly expanding belly before then from about 9/10 weeks until 22 weeks when it became a lot more obvious. I'm expecting to pop sooner with #2. Besides being #2, my abs are pretty much nonexistent these days!

It'll depend on your body type, stature, physical fitness I suppose...

JCWhitey · September 2016

First pregnancy I was showing around 17/18 weeks and very visible by 24 weeks. For baby #2 I didn't show at all until 26/27 weeks.

firstbaby2013 · September 2016

8 weeks. People will say it's bloating and not the baby. But if you were not pregnant you wouldn't be bloated so yes. It's your pregnancy showing.

To me the difference is that a "bump" is from the uterus growing not just extra bloat. I get what you are saying but I do disagree that bloat = showing. And I'll continue to just call that a blump

I agree. Bloat is not "showing" to me either. Yeah, some symptoms from the pregnancy are showing when you bloat, but I'm not going to rub and caress my bloat belly when I know the baby in my uterus is still in my pelvis.

ChristinaWild · September 2016

I definitely didn't have a noticeable bump until around 25 weeks. Between 20-25 weeks, it would get bigger in the afternoon, but I'm pretty sure I was the only one who noticed.

lildropofheavn23 · September 2016

Looking back at pictures, I definitely looked pregnant around 16 weeks. Before that, it just looked like I had an extra burrito for lunch. I started rocking maternity wear around then too. I have a feeling that I'll be showing earlier again, which is fine. People are nicer to pregnant women.

MamaMiller · September 2016

A noticeable bump by 25 weeks with my first and 15 weeks with my second, baggy sweaters and leggings may be my best friend until we are ready to spill the beans if I pop out earlier!

Stormy61 · September 2016

So true about people being nicer to pregnant women!! I loved that!

sqfibemom · September 2016

I wore regular jeans the whole time hah! I thought I had a belly around 15w but I didn't. I'd say there was something more than just bloat after 20w

sqfibemom · September 2016

It also wasn't really a pop with the first, it was gradual. It was a pop with the other two though haha!

Jellybeanqueen13 · September 2016

Around 20 weeks, I had a tiny bump going on. Before that, you couldn't tell at all.

psherman42wwsa · September 2016

well I didn't think I was showing until just now at work someone asked me if I was pregnant! they said I looked pregnant... so of course I had to lie!

RainyDays86 · September 2016

I totally popped on my birthday which was right at about 21 weeks. I went to sleep not looking that pregnant and woke up with a big bump, it was bizarre.

RainyDays86 · September 2016

@lrwardrop I do not understand why people think it's ok to ask that. Ever. I hope you made them feel REALLY awkward when you said no.

schnitz9 · September 2016

I didn't really start to show until I would say 28 weeks. Since I was so sick I ended up loosing 12 lbs in my 1st tri so by my 3rd tri I was showing the bumb...
