When did you start showing with a second pregnancy?

[Alligatorpie]

I am only six weeks and already I can feel my trousers are getting tighter. It could be because of the baby, or maybe because my diet has changed and I am now eating a lot of carbs ( normally I eat low carb).

I am a bit worried about starting to show early. We just moved to a new country for work, and I don't want to tell anyone until Xmas, when we will go back to visit my dh's family in the Uk.

but am not sure I will be able to hide it, if I am already expanding! I have also heard you show earlier with the second, any thoughts on this?

Thanks!

With my 1st i just looked a lil bloated until at least 18-20 weeks! This time at 12 weeks people were already feeling my 'bump' saying wow ... but i suffer badly from bloating! (im slim so bloating makes my bump enlarge alot lol)
So i can only really tell how big my bump is 1st thing in the morning before i have eaten lol! It grows alot in the day lol!

At about 8 weeks i stopped wearing my tighter jeans and clothes lol! I am now 16 weeks and look like what i did at 6months with my 1st! lol!

I must admit i do love it tho hehe espec when i have eaten alot hehe! and im looking 4ward to buying some new clothes too! x

I'm 14 weeks and my trousers are definitely too tight and I'm wearing maternity jeans (the ones with the bit of stretchy material at the pockets, not full on bump band), and other trousers a size too big.

But I'm not showing as such and don't think anybody would guess I'm pg.

So, try not to worry. Tighter waistband doesn't necessarily mean you look pg and if you wear slightly longer tops I bet nobody will notice

I think I started showing from the start

Had put on weight around my stomach anyway but I definitely had a bloat on from about 9 weeks and people were guessing

I officially at 13+6 have put my maternity trousers on for the first time today

I'm 15weeks today - 2nd pregnancy - and definitely starting to show, although not looking pg yet as not a proper bump - just a bit chubby. Trousers were feeling tight from 6 or 7 weeks though in both pregnancies, and very bloated towards the end of the day. Last time I didn't really show until around 17 weeks though.

I showed at what I thought was about 6 weeks, but then I was moved forward a week and a half at my dating scan, so would have been more like 7-8 weeks.
Am 16+4 now and look about 7m!!

But I was pregnant again less than a year after having DS so I dont know if that makes a difference? If my muscles arent "back to normal" so pop out quicker maybe...? [hhmm]

I guess this depends of how much flab you have left from the first pregnancy.

I'm now 22 weeks and feel so much bigger than last time. If I compare weight there is only +2 kilos difference but belly is much bigger.

(I've taken belly profile photos starting week 12 in both pregnancies)
