This is my 2nd pregnancy and I think I am 9+2. I started to show a slight bump at maybe 14 weeks with my DD. I know it is normal to be sooner with the second, but I swear I look about 4 months gone. Flat(Wink-ish) tummy in the morning, then by lunch, BOOM massive belly. Baby is meant to be an inch long, starting to think I have eight of them in there!!!
Is it just me wearing maternity clothing at 9 weeks? Please no!

I was exactly the same with mine, tho much more with subsequent pregnancies.

I normally wear v tight fitting jeans etc, so no give, even for a little bloating which is why I have changed into sweats to gorge on crisps

Congratulations!

This makes me feel better. I am a skinny jean fan myself, they have been in the drawer for weeks now (boo), although replaced now with a new pair with a rather attractive elasticated front panel Hmm that I can't bear to put on yet.
Perhaps I wouldn't notice so much if i was in my cosy joggers from pre-preggy. Not sure I will ever go back, so comfy!

snap here! Was 8 weeks, looked 8 months lol! Since about 8 - 9 weeks my jeans have been a no go area! I ended up buying some second hand maternity wear to see me through! Now 12 weeks and I have my scan in the morning! x

I am 12 weeks and look more like I did at 4-5 months with my first! Also expands insanely by the late afternoon/evening, why is that?!
