How soon did you show in your second pregnancy?

Not sure how far along I am, it's a bit of an unexpected pregnancy. Scan in a couple if weeks. Minimun10 weeks though. Feel I have a baby bump already. Off work for a couple of weeks and feel sure they will notice when I go back. Surely it's too early to show?!

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

I bloated a lot in the first trimester but getting a proper bump now at 17 weeks.

Nearly 5 weeks here and DH was horrified when I put on one of my normal tops the other day .... Bloating post conception is making me look definitely and undeniably pregnant!

Ah yes I guess it could just be bloating. Even so, it looks a proper bump! Can't wait for the scan to find out dates.

I got very bloated early on, everything slows down with the hormones (joy)... then it all went and I had a bump I could see from about 22 weeks, noticeable to others from about 26/7.

Can I ask when the bloating goes away? I feel so noticeably pregnant at 7 and a half weeks. Didn't notice this last time.

Need to decide whether I need a new work wardrobe to see me through to maternity wear, or whether I'll be able to scrape through.

I'm pregnant with number 3 and just starting to look pregnant now at 16 weeks.

Happilymarried155 · 14/08/2016 19:37

I couldn't do my jeans up at 8 weeks and am now 14 weeks and am obviously pregnant. I thought it was bloat and would go away but it never did so in my experience you can show quite early! X

My new fat leggings are too tight. The waistband is digging into the 'bloat'

Sooner than the first time!

I made it to 5 months with DC1 before people started saying "come on now, you must be up the duff".

With DC2, I'm convinced I swelled the day I found out (about 1 week later!)

I think once you've been preggers once, your body goes "way-hey! I know what to do!" And gets enormous.

At least that's what I believe. Nothing to do with the amount of white chocolate magnums I ate.

I was obviously pg to everybody from 10 weeks with #2 and 6 weeks with #3.

Now trying for #4 I dread to think how quickly I'll show!
I think it's a bit like a balloon that's been blown up before; it blows up quicker the 2nd time around.

I'm 11 weeks now and while I still fit in everything, it is obvious that I have a little bump. With DD I was having a little meltdown at 16 weeks because someone I knew who was 15 weeks with her 3rd was showing and I wasn't and I thought that was bad yada yada. Ahhh, bless me, so young and naive
