I mean, I know this is my second pregnancy and my stomach muscles are shot to pieces, but still...!

Was hoping to keep in under wraps (literally) for a little bit longer but at this rate I'm not going tobe able to hide it!

Anyone else in the same boat? Are you having visions of being rolled down the street like a bowling ball at 6 months....??

It's probably mostly bloating TBH. I know I got bloated a lot from weeks 4-7.

If you stick in non-maternity clothes, that'll help you look fat not pregnant.

Glad there is others. I'm 6+4 with no2, and have had randoms asking me if i am pregnant!! I am huge! Dread to think what I will look like in 7 months time.

I am just 6 weeks and I am showing too, in my case it is definitely bloating. It is also worse by the end of the day.

I'm on 2nd pregnancy and went up a dress size at about 6 weeks. It's like my body said 'i remember these hormones, let's get fat!'

I'm 30+2 and only started showing a month ago. (sorry! haha) However it is my first. My sister however is a different kettle of fish. It is her first, and she is 20 wks. She started showing after about 10 weeks (this is her first) and now is way bigger than me.

I suppose some people just carry more fluid, plus, your baby will likely be bigger as it's your second, and with your muscles already been stretched.

If anyone says anything, just say you've put on weight and look really upset. See how bad they feel haha

I'm pg with no3 and have awful bloating but tbh my tummy is huge from the other 2 anyway as I never seemed to shift the weight from there I will probably be the size of a small country this time round

I was up a dress size too at 6 weeks and had to buy maternity trousers at 9 weeks. Thisw is number 2 im 16 1/2 ish weeks now and im told look 6 months pregnant! ( not twins either!)

buttonmoon78 · 28/07/2010 17:26

I was a little bit bigger with each earlier on but then it balanced out and I was def biggest at term with no1. FWIW, each of my 3 also got smaller not bigger as everyone says!

cockle84 · 30/07/2010 22:18

I'm 7 weeks with my first and by the end of the day I feel huge and I've got my trousers undone for extra space
I can't wait to get to 12 weeks and start buying maternity clothes - don't want to buy any yet - don't want to tempt fate!!
