well, thats it really. 2nd pregnancy and i remember last time didnt even have to think about mat clothes till about 20 weeks but am already feeling massive! boobs have really grown so most tops tight and trousers tight too and definitely bit of a belly poking out. am v alarmed though as if already big what will it be like at the end? aaargh! am not eating that much more than normal, honestly! is this what happens 2nd time or am i just an elephant? am having a bit of a panicky. and to think i was upset about no bump for ages last time!

I'm on my second pregnancy too and feel exactly the same. I'm 17 weeks and have been in mat clothes for a couple of weeks now - I made it to about 22 weeks with pg1. The good news is that I'm not getting any bigger so I seem to have reached my mid pregnancy size at the start of my pregnancy (iyswim)

Me, too! Exactly the same as Plumm. Hoping it'll even out eventually, too.

I grew quickly first time but even worse this time!
I'm 7weeks ish and need maternity trousers!
God knows what I'll wear for first day back at school tmrw.

I wouldn't worry about it. I was big early on, with huge boobs, but now at 25 weeks, it's evened out and my weight gain is fine/good. Boobs are still huge though!

Same here! Im 10+4 weeks and look about 4 months! Ive started a thread on here somewhere too about is it right. This is too my 2nd. I feel like i should be hiding it because people will just think im fat because im not that far gone.

lol clare bear i now what u mean. i have been trying to hide it too as am sure people think i'm just fat! at least we dont seem to be alone. maybe after one baby it just kills any kind of strength u may have had in the stomach muscles! really helpful to hear from everyone though, anyone else??

I am in my first pregnancy and was on maternity clothes since week 10! And the strange thing is only my bump is growing but I wasn't really putting on much weight!

I think it really depends on person but it's common for second pregnancy to show earlier.

8 weeks and dread wearing regular trousers. It feels like the worst case of bloat and I keep eyeing the box of mat clothes in my closet. I showed early, but was well into my 5th month before I needed them last time!

I caught myself walking around this afternoon with my hand in PG Position (under the bump, somewhat supporting)!
