'Showing' at 7 weeks with DC2

[Rubberyduck]

So I am 7 weeks today and have a noticeable belly bump. Of course its likely ti be bloat but it looks like a bump. I know it often looks like your pregnant sooner with DC2. I am heavier with this one to begin with so that may not have helped. Anyway, we had no intention to tell people until after the scan but I dont think we will get away with it - I see my family 2x a week! Should I just spill the beans or see if the bloat goes down abit? It seems quite early. Unless anyone knows of good hiding techniques...

Me too! I’m 7 weeks Friday with number 2 and my ‘bump’ is so much bigger already (in fact other then a bit of bloatbin the eve I had no bump at this stage before). I’m also sure it’s mostly bloat but I can definitely tell that my stomach muscles aren’t as good and seem to have just parted completely! I too was a bit heavier this time round but not much and was underweight at the start of my last pregnancy. I am trying to hide it from work and am going for leggings and loose dresses at the moment. It’s much worse at the end of the day so I need something comfy to ‘grow’ into as the day goes on. Also scarves are good for extra cover. I gained over 4 stone last pregnancy so was really hoping for less weight gain this time but based on how quickly I’ve blown up I’m not holding out much hope! Good luck with the concealing!

Not much help - but I'm in exactly the same boat. 7 and a half weeks with my second and also seem to be getting a bump...I don't feel bloated, but it is way to early to be showing surely!

I'm counting down to the scan now so I can just tell every one and dig out my comfy maternity jeggings....for now I'm going to stick to baggy clothes and am sipping peppermint tea to see if that helps 😫

I started showing at 5 weeks with DC2, I’m now 8 weeks and in maternity clothes already I kissed goodbye to the idea of keeping the pregnancy a secret very quickly, I’m very petite so there was no hiding it!
