Hi, I have a son who is 2 & am 6 weeks pregnant with baby number 2. Is it normal to show quicker with second baby? Dunno if I'm just bloated but all my clothes are tight & I seem to get bigger as the day goes on. Any other second time mums find this too? That and being constantly knackered!!

At 9 weeks my DS asked me why I was so fat, and 'who was in there?' Shock

I got massive fast, but didn't carry on getting bigger, if that is reassuring?

Totally normal - don't panic :)

I'm nearly 9 weeks with no2, had a bloat-bump since about 6 weeks
I was bloated in 1st trimester with no1 but nothing as pot bellyish as this
its not my uterus, I know what to feel for and there's no "grapefruit" yet, the bloat bump is quite high too
the nausia is making me eat loads of carbs so putting it down to that
v hard to hid it till 12 week scan this time!

I'm 16 weeks with no3 and I look about 25 weeks + it's really high up and a definite bump. I can feel my uterus is quite large though even though baby is apparently turnip sized. Grin

I'm nearly 16wks with #2 & have a 2yo DD. I had to put my maternity work trousers on at 10wks because I literally couldn't do my proper ones up, whilst with DD I'm fairly sure I managed until nearly this pg iyswim... I am WAY more bloated this time, as well as feeling my bump is more obvious. I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror earlier and thought 'My god, I look PREGNANT!!' Grin

Me tooShock17+3 number 4, and massive already was in mainly maternity stuff by 12 weeks and had to tell everyone lest they thought I had just been scoffing all the donuts. Which I actually had been. I too went on a carb fest or the first 12 weeks to try a manage with feeling travel sick the whole time and knackered. Is now hard to break the habit.
