2nd time bumps

Just wondered when other peoples bumps started to show with second pg. I'm 7 weeks and feel like I already have something there. Am I just being paranoid? Is it just bloating? Or is it the start of a baby bump? I didn't show at all last time until about 6 months.

Second bumps show earlier usually but at 7 weeks could well just be bloating. I def had a baby bump by 12 weeks...in fact a little sooner...with this pg (my 2nd).

Yes I've heard that they do show sooner. What week did you start to show with your 2nd?

I was like you OP. No bump with DC1 until 25ish weeks, not sure is had a bump too early with DC2, but was in mat clothes at 9 weeks.

I started to feel rounder at about 8 weeks but this was just bloating and eating too much dinner :).

From about 12 weeks, I had a definite roundness to my stomach and now at 16 weeks, although I'm not huge, I do look pregnant.
I didn't show until about 5 and a half months with DS but my muscles have certainly been stretched.

Congratulations by the way :)
