Extremely bloated, 2nd pregnancy?

[Chocolateismyvice]

I'm currently about 4/5 weeks pregnant with my second baby. Although I wasn't "showing" I did start getting a little pooch at about 12 weeks with my son (he's a tall boy). However with this pregnancy, I'm already extremely bloated! I look about 5 months and feel HUGE already. I know you show sooner with your second but is it normal to be this big, this early? No one knows yet but not sure how long I can keep hiding it, and I'm already considering maternity jeans

Was anyone else the same with major bloating? I'm afraid there's more than one in there!!

I had awful bloating. There were random days where I couldn't fit my clothes. At least I knew where I was with the bump.

I'm the same. I'm nearly 7 weeks and have been in maternity jeans since 5 weeks due to bloating. It's so hard to hide isn't it! For some reason I feel like I'm being more deceptive than the first time around, when I didn't show until about 18 weeks.

Me too! I'm 12 weeks and the bloating is finally coming down a bit now.

I was no where near this bloated with my first baby.

Yep, me. 7 weeks, and my tummy has been looking more like 5 months! Today seems marginally better, but I expect it's going to be short lived.

Me too! I'm almost 8wks with my second and my face is swollen as well as my tummy. My jeans are already off limits and I'm welcoming leggings and baggy tops. And pj's

Another one the same!! Calmed down this past week at 11/12 weeks.

I was like a ship in full sail within about 5 minutes with number 2
The elasticated trousers came out after about a week.
It's alright OP, you just dispense with that annoying stretch where you want to say 'I'm not fat, I'm pregnant!' to people staring at your stomach

Thank god it's not just me then! I'm actually going shopping after work tomorrow to look for maternity jeans and loose clothing.

@ApplestheHare yeeeeees, I feel way more secretive about this pregnancy. My mum has my son twice a week while I work so I can't even avoid her.

I'm so paranoid people will soon pick up on things because I'm already so bloated!

Yep. I had to get my maternity clothes out at 5 weeks
