2nd pregnancy - how early did you show?

[hopingforsleep]

I'm 5+6 with pregnancy number 2 and already have a noticeable (to me and my dh but maybe not yet to others) little bump. With my first pregnancy it was much later than this, probably about 12 weeks. I know that people usually show earlier with later pregnancies but I'm petrified it could be twins (non sleeping 2 year old makes that a scary prospect). So I'd be interested to hear other people's experiences

Really early. I was in maternity jeans at 9 weeks and have been big throughout. Just the one baby!

With first I didn't show properly until around18-20 weeks. This time around at 6 weeks I had a noticeable bump. Like you thought it may be twins. There is only one however having had scan.
Consultant just said "u had tummy muscles first time around " lol

Much earlier! Didn't meet mat clothes/ start showing until 18-20 weeks last time. This time I've been struggling since about 8/9 weeks to do up my trousers. At 14 weeks I have a noticeable bump in tight clothes and in general I'm bigger all over, yet still not a big enough bump for my mat clothes. Very awkward stage.

Oh, it's a singleton (but I too worried about twins in early weeks as I was ravenous, felt more sick/knackered than last time and showed sooner)

At 5 weeks it's bloat, even if there were two in there it's within your pelvis and mm big.

Second baby and I've just gone into maternity clothes at nearly 18 weeks. It was 11 weeks last time but that was novelty I think!

I'm 8 weeks and it will be hard to hide. Its just flab though. And def a singleton

With my first I didn't show hardly at all.. To others I reckon at about 20 weeks although lots of people didn't notice until later. This time I have a tiny bump at 10 weeks, although I'd imagine not noticeable to others. I think I'm about the same at 10 weeks as I was at 16 with my first, so about a month bigger

Thanks for all the replies, reassuring to know that lots of people show much earlier with the second

9 weeks I was in maternity clothes with 2nd. Bloat or not I was massive! God knows how soon I'll need them this time.
