Hiya everyone just looking for some help.

I am 15 weeks pregnant with DC2 and I was wondering if I should be concerned that my bump is not showing and dont think it will appear anytime soon. I had heard that with second pregnancies you normally show earlier than your first and the last time i was pregnant my bump was showing and was a decent size at 16 weeks so i thought i would have been showing by now. hopw someone can advise/help xx

Hardly even showedwith 3rd pregnancy until about 26 weeks - a bummer in terms of getting a seat on the train ...

Same here, Laura, I was thinking of posting as I'm paranoid about it too! 16 weeks with DC2 and no sign of a bump - I was in maternity clothes at this point with DD.

Pregnancy is an endless worry! Let's hope our bumps make an appearance soon Smile.

My bump hasn't arrived at 15 weeks either,.I'm positive I had an obvious one at this stage last time, at the moment I just look like I've been stuffing my face! Come on bumps! Make an appearance!

I'm the opposite! I'm only 8 weeks and look about 5 months!! People keep saying its twins n that worries me as I'm single mum. Guess we all made different

Don't bumps show earlier the second time around because your tummy muscles are weaker from having had a baby before?

Have you been working out a bit? Lifting a child is quite a strenuous activity, as is just looking after them, so it's possible you're fitter now than you were the first time around?

This is what I thought, Stacks, so have been anticipating an early bump. My tummy muscles definitely haven't recovered from having DD a year ago and I've always been an enthusiastic exercise dodger Grin. The only things that are different this time are that I'm BFing DD (just once or twice a day now) and I was nearly a stone lighter when I discovered I was pregnant with DC2 .

I'm 13 weeks and have no bump and no stomach muscles. They were cut through for surgery a few years ago and have never recovered. I guess I'll see how it looks in 2 weeks!
