Pregnant and overweight.. Should I be showing??

[masonmum12]

Hi everyone,
So I am approximately a whopping 4 stone overweight and 10 weeks prego (TBC) with my second child, however I am showing! At first I thought it was all in my head as I know you don't usually show until the second trimester, but even my husband has noticed that the shape of my stomach has changed.
I haven't had a dating scan yet but I was on the pill so I don't think I conceived until after I came off.
My shock is that I am showing so early not forgetting the fact that I am carrying extra weight around my middle without the baby. Is this the same for anyone else?

I'm also 4 stone overweight and personally have felt like I've been showing for a few weeks. I'm only 14 wks. I carry my weight on my hips, arse and thigh normally! Excuse the mess! Only moved into our hous a few weeks ago and it's already a building site

When it's not your first child you tend to show sooner, maybe it's due to that?

You look great! @cat2991 when are you due?

Not due till 17th of Feb! Still waiting on the 'glow' so far I'm just a breathless sweaty mess ha!!

I think you show sooner with subsequent pregnancies because your muscles aren't what they were. My aunt guessed I was pregnant at ten weeks with my second just by looking at me and I was about a stone overweight.
