I've recently found out that I am pregnant with my 2nd but seem to be showing already at 7 weeks! Is it normal to show earlier? With my 1st I didn't show until 4 mths!!

I was wondering the same- currently 8 weeks with no. 2 and already my trousers feel tight.

I didn't start showing with no. 1 until about 15-16 weeks and then I just looked fat!

About 5 weeks! It's muscle memory or something. Grin

I could see a change at about 6 weeks - by ten weeks there was no hiding it! I officially told people at work at 12 weeks and they were all like 'err. Yeah. Obviously'

Really early, I seem to remember. And even earlier with the third, when my poor old stomach muscles had clearly given up completely.

The minute of conception! There's no bloody hiding a second pregnancy. I'm 23 weeks now and already fed up.

I'm in my 5th week with what will hopefully be DC2 and for the last week or so I cannot wear any of my jeans or my uniform trousers at work. A few weeks ago I had a nice flat stomach and was thinking about going down a size now it's jersey fabrics all the way. I do remember I was mega bloated early in the first trimester with DD and it went down by the 12 week mark, but not as early and not as bad as this

Spaghettio · 14/07/2016 11:26

My first was 8 years ago, so I wondered if my muscles had forgotten by now Wink. Judging by my belly, I don't think so!

Heatherbell1978 · 14/07/2016 11:30

I'm 7 weeks and haven't noticed anything too much yet, wee bit bloated though.
With my first i didn't properly pop until after the 20 week scan. Weirdly though I had to buy new bras at 8 weeks pregnant last time and this time my boobs haven't changed at all yet...

Stiddleficks · 14/07/2016 11:34

I had a small bump at 12 weeks, I had my scan late at 14 weeks but close friends already suspected.

snorepatrol · 14/07/2016 11:40

I was the total opposite I was showing from 16 weeks with dc1 and with dc2 I genuinely didn't look pregnant until about 32 weeks even then you could only tell sideways forward facing I just looked a bit fat.

Although I feel like I should point out dc1 was 10lbs and 2 foot long when she was born and dc2 was Only 5lb full term and still wears 18 month clothes at 2 1/2 when may have contributed slightly Grin

snorepatrol · 14/07/2016 11:41

Which not when

MrsDoylesTeaParty · 14/07/2016 12:43

I showed at about 3 weeks this time, I'm 6 weeks now and have a right bump! Struggling to get off the couch sometimes. How is this possible!? Is it just the womb being huge? It took ages to show last time.. I preferred it as it felt like a nice, gradual process... Now it's just wham Grin At least it looks clearly like a bump though and not just fat.

MyBreadIsEggy · 14/07/2016 12:45

I had some serious bloat happening at about 8 weeks. But then that went down, and my real bump wasn't noticeable until about 18 weeks. I'm 24 weeks now, and I reckon I'm about the same size I was at 30+ weeks with Dd Blush

Winegumaddict · 15/07/2016 06:58

I'm 20 ish weeks with no. 2 and still just look fat. No real bump with DD until 26 weeks although I was too big for my normal clothes. I'd rather have a bump than just look like I'm piling it on. I know it'll come in time it's just frustrating.

Last time I was too uncomfortable in nornal jeans from about 8 weeks though bit I wore them last week this time.

Weezie85 · 15/07/2016 07:25

I had massive bloat the first trimester, then went down. Bump started showing 23 weeks. Last time I was easily 30 before it was noticeable

kiki22 · 15/07/2016 10:42

I bloated in the first 10 weeks but didnt have much of a bump until 20 weeks I was 27 weeks before my bump was totally obvious, my first I had a huge noticeable bump by about 16 weeks. It's not always true second time your bigger.

Havingkittens04 · 15/07/2016 20:31

Early bloating with my first until about 12 weeks, then a relatively flat belly until 5 months (at which point I just looked podgy) proper bump at about 7 months, albeit small, and you could only tell I was pg side-on at the very end Confused

With this pregnancy I had the bloat early on again, which has turned straight into a proper hardened mound that you'd associate with a lady 6 months gone, and I was even offered a seat on the train yesterday by 2 different passengers..... But I'm only just 12 weeks Blush

WiMoChi · 15/07/2016 20:34

21 weeks with second and not showing :(

AbbeyRoadCrossing · 15/07/2016 20:39

I had my first stranger comment at about 28 weeks and work didn't notice - I told them at 25!
I have a long torso though so think that makes my bumps small.

moosechops · 15/07/2016 20:41

I started dieting because I thought I was getting a belly, walked past the mirror one day and said out loud "I'm pregnant" took the test and yep pregnant - 4/5 weeks.

Now 16 weeks and have been in maternity clothes for 2 weeks.

Whatsername17 · 15/07/2016 22:11

With my dd I bloated and it went down a little. With this one I'm obviously pregnant with a bump that popped out at 10 weeks and is definitely a bump at 13 weeks.
