Do you show earlier with 2nd baby??

[linziluv]

It makes sense that you do but thought I'd ask!...I'm 9+4 with my 2nd and already showing enough for people at work to comment! I've gained 8lbs so far but have never put on weight on my stomach so I'm assuming it's pregnancy!
Anyone else found this??? X

I think it's normal to show earlier with 2nd and subsequent babies, but I'm finding the opposite and it's making me nervous! With DS I put on about half a stone in the first trimester (albeit from my thinnest ever wedding weight), and struggled to keep it a secret until 12 weeks. I'm now 13 weeks with DC2 and not showing at all, no bump, and slight weight loss (although I have had hyperemesis this time round). I was expecting a proper bump by now, I want one!

Lol...i put about 5 stone on with my first but didn't show till about 20 weeks...I never stopping eating though! I easily lost it within 6 months so not too worried about the weight but 8lbs seems loads compared to what i should be on the calculators I've found!
I'm led to believe that EVERY pregnancy is different so try not to worry about not showing yet!

i put on 3 and half stone 1st time round and had a swollen tummy straight away and a propeer bump by 10 weeks, i lost all the weight i gained however this time with my 2nd im nearly 15 weeks have no belly at all and have lost weight, now weighing a horrible 7 stone 9. but in most cases people yes your supposed ti show sooner with your 2nd but i suppose everyones different

I put on five and a half stone with my first - DD and I also didn't show until I was 20+ weeks. I didn't rush to lose my weight after birth and was back to my pre baby size within six months. I did eat everything in sight, hungry or not.

This time, I was showing at nine weeks. I've got a really big bump at the moment (18+4) and people can't believe I have to wait until March to give birth. I have to say, thankfully its all baby as I've only put a couple of pounds on. I'm very petite so I'm guessig this is one of the reasons I'm showing so soon. I'm being more careful
this time with what I eat and still allow for treats.

I did find though that between nine and 16 weeks, my bump disappeared over night. Mornings were horrendus but my bump gradually grew as the morning progressed.

I'm 17+6 with my second and I've got a huge bump. It is a bit ridiculous actually, I look about 6 months!

I didn't and was generally smaller until about 28 weeks when I suddenly grew!

With my second I was in my maternity jeans by 8 weeks - same with my third.

It did seem to even out, though, and I didn't end up too huge by the end (relatively speaking )

Well I think we've established that ANYTHING is possible in pregnancy lol...there seems to be no "normal"!
Wish I could just relax with this pregnancy but I'm so anxious about absolutely everything!!
