I'm currently pg with dc2. I've still not lost all my baby weight from last pg sadly, ds only 8m so I'm a bit worried about weight gain.
I've heard that many start to show with their second pg much quicker. When did you start to show with second?

Am about 8 weeks and already showing :( am slim and been eating nonstop since before Xmas so some wt gain and mostly due to rubbish stomach muscles since dc1 I think!

Oh dear that is quick. My stomach muscles are not back to scratch yet and still have a mummy tummy.

All my friends with more than one child have said that they showed earlier with no 2. It wasn't that the baby was any bigger than the first one, it was more that their stomach muscles were more stretched and couldn't hold the bump in as much. They all went back to their pre-pregnancy sizes afterwards though, give or take a few pounds.

With my second I started showing at about 6 weeks! Everyone thought I was having twins because of how early I was showing, I think it was more bloat than anything, but I did look pregnant

Oh dear it does sound very early.
I might go into hiding for a couple of months!

I'm 7 and half months I'm overweight but not massive, I'm only starting to show, I don't have a big bump. Even if I was slim I think I would be little. Yet my friend who's preg same amount of time showed after 12 weeks, every body is different :)

8 weeks with bloating, real bump started showing at 13 weeks.

I only found out this week but feel like I'm showing. Just feel so bloated. I need to hide this for much longer yet! This is DC2 too

I was about to post about the exact same thing! I'm 7/8 weeks and am SO bloated. I feel v uncomfortable and it seems so obvious to me. This is my second and I don't remember being this bad before. Mind you, I was v sick last time and this time I'm eating crap non stop to keep the nausea at bay.

I might give birth to a croissant at this rate! Grin

With my first I didn't really show at all, my second around 20 weeks and my third about 16 weeks.
