Second (or more) time moms...

TeacherMama7 · April 2017

so, I feel like my bloat is so bad it looks like I'm a month or so ahead of where I was. Honestly, last time I barely shower until about 14 or so weeks and this time my tummy is already out! I tried on dresses for Easter and I look so pregnant in all my normal dresses and so silly in maternity dresses because they're all too big still. Ugh. Frustrating!! Anyone else?!

My mom said I'm popping it already and I'm only 10 weeks. I said it was probably just all the extra food.

I think things happen faster with each pregnancy.

With my first I didn't start showing until probably around 14 weeks. This is my third pregnancy, and I had to switch to maternity pants at 5 weeks and maternity tops at 7/8 weeks. I'm 10 weeks now and look like I did at 25 weeks with my first. The bloat is real!

I posted about this in the HDBD thread but I'm huge for 11 weeks. I'm rolling with it, I already look pregnant so the "blump" phase was short lived

Oops! I didn't see the HDBD thread before I posted this. But glad I'm not alone!

I'm right there with you! At ten weeks, I'm showing more with this nugget than my cousin's wife, who is 25 weeks. Clearly, our bodies already know to make us look bumptastic, rather than just bloated. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.

I feel more bloated but no bump yet..waiting to wake up one morning with a big ol belly. I didn't show with DD until 20 weeks so I'm thinking maybe 16ish this time..guess we'll see! I'm feeling this munchkin moving around like crazy though which is super exciting bc I also didn't feel movement until almost 20 weeks last time

I never lost all the baby weight from #1, then #2 19 months later. So now with #3, I can't even tell what's bloat and what's just old baby weight

Karrotelle · April 2017

I look like a FTM who is 9 months pregnant lol No joke. It's my 3rd and it's twins. I'm terrified of how big I'm going to be if I look this big at 8 weeks. I'm in maternity pants already!

DuchessOfCambridge · April 2017

My blump doesn't really show well in a picture but I wore a pair of slightly too big for me pants unbuttoned all day. Guess they're now slightly too small for me. I was hoping they'd last me until I started showing.

asamapmaker · April 2017

Its my second and I'm huge at 9 weeks and have been for a couple weeks already. The bloat bump is very obvious and if I showed you a picture you'd be amazed. I do believe Im a few days or a week ahead of the Dr estimate but still. I'm glad I'm not the only one but its totally revealing before my planned mothers day reveal.

c+mpeachey · April 2017

Oh i am totally showing. I don't have mat pants yet.... just stretchy loose pants.... But if i am home, i am hanging around in DH long tees and no pants cause everything else is too uncomfortable. So classy of me. In dresses i look about 5 months pregnant. And when i am tired i swear i waddle

elsieisamoocow · April 2017

I'm actually surprised at how much I'm *not* showing yet. I have a bit of a bump especially towards the end of the day, but I thought I'd look at least 15 weeks by now. Last time I was huge early on, but that might be because my first two pregnancies were right on top of each other.

I actually made this this morning for my August14 mommy group to compare bumps so I figured I'd share here too hehe

ElizabethSchuyler · April 2017

By lunch time, I look 20 weeks. There's no way people don't know.

MaximumEffort · April 2017

This is my third pregnancy. They all have a long in between period. Since the bloat has gone down the past two days I don't look as pregnant but there are days I have a full belly. I'm pretty sure the pregnancy symptoms are worst this time around though.

2Dash · April 2017

This is number 3 - I'm 9 weeks tomorrow and I definitely have a tummy. I've been trying to cover with longer shirts and pants that aren't too tight but my days of keeping this a secret are numbered!

peregrinefalconx · April 2017

I had my last baby less than a year ago. I always had a little tummy and it doubled PP. All that is now sticking out/hanging out! and while I liked to pretend pre-preg here that it was a decent looking mommy tum (for somebody who has had no time to become the hot yoga mom, macrobiotic of their dreams). You can call it a bump on me, but it just seems like all the fast food has taken up residence.

MissMonroe11 · April 2017

The bloat is out of control. Not even ten weeks and I look like I looked at 14-15 weeks with my first. I am typically pretty thin so it is really obvious. I am going to try to find some Maxi dresses today for this weekend. We still haven't announced and will be around family this weekend for Easter. We're going to Houston to my Memaw's and she always heats her pool for my son to swim.... no swimsuit for me this weekend as that would be a dead give away. DH is going to have to handle pool duty this year!

LadyBugMe101 · April 2017

With this being my second pregnancy very shortly after I had my son last year on Thanksgiving, I don't think I ever stopped feeling or looking pregnant. We haven't told family yet - waiting for Easter but my SIL asked if I had a baby bump (yikes)... I couldn't even get mad and say 'no it's just my fat' because I am so happy about it, just not ready to tell that I just laughed it off.
