I'm currently 7w 2d (Confirmed via early nhs scan) with my second baby, but think I'm already starting to show... thought it was bloating but it's not shifting... is this even possible? Is/ was anyone else the same? Thanks 😀

Congrats on baby! I'm only 15 + 5 weeks pregnant and most people have commented I look about 6 months haha been pretty much the same size since about 12 weeks too thought it was just bloating at first but hasn't budged either so think it's here to stay!

I was showing by 9 weeks and looked a go 5/6 months pregnant. By my wedding I was 17 weeks and looked like I was about pop.
I’m now 36+5 and measuring 7 weeks over due!!!
She is going to be evicted next Wednesday, as I can barely move.

@emmab96 Thank you, congrats to you too! Aww that's a lovely bump!! I'm glad I'm not the only one lol :)

Here's mine (excuse the dodgy work toilets!!)- bump or bloat? Xx

Your muscles and ligaments etc expanded earlier and easier with subsequent pregnancies because they are "used" to it, between that and bloat its really common to show earlier second/third time around.

@Falafel19 ahh makes sense, thanks for that :) xx

@JenDaw I had this with my last pregnancy, popped out at 6 weeks. I was convinced that was it and I was going to continue to grow from there but 2 weeks later went flat (well not flat but wobbly lol) until around 11 weeks when started to come back. Put it down to uterus stretching/adjusting and bloating

JenDaw · 26/09/2019 12:55

@Mystie I'll expect that then, thanks hun!

To be fair, I'm still carrying a little extra pregnancy weight that I couldn't lose (DS is nearly 3- but I can still call it that right lol!!) so I should have expected to struggle with my jeans early lol.

Just don't want to tell anyone at work yet so trying to hide it 🙈 xx

I was told this is much more common with second pregnancies. With my second I was very obviously pregnant by 10 weeks and by 20 weeks I was waddling and felt ready to pop (I am tiny though so that probably didn’t help!)
Congratulations! Smile

Em39ma · 26/09/2019 13:03

My first

DerbyshireGirly · 26/09/2019 13:23

@emmab96 oh my gosh! In the nicest way, you look VERY pregnant for 15 weeks!!

elb1504 · 26/09/2019 15:58

I'm currently 11+6 and I feel like im showing, my clothes are tight and trying to hide from everyone at work is proving difficult.

I thought it was bloat at first but definitely seems more bump shaped now.

emmab96 · 26/09/2019 16:39

@DerbyshireGirly I know haha! Closer to 16 now but still big I know my partner is convinced they've missed a baby haha

emmab96 · 26/09/2019 17:15

@JenDaw thank you and you too cute little bump bloat or not it's definitely there haha!

janey15 · 26/09/2019 22:11

I'm 11 weeks with my first and very bloated. I think it's bloating not hump as it's definitely worse by the end of the day but this morning I had to change twice because it was so obvious in my clothes! I'm really short of things to wear as some of my clothes were a bit tight anyway 🙄

janey15 · 26/09/2019 22:12

bump not hump 😂 darn autocorrect

Mylittlerainbow · 26/09/2019 22:21

I’m 18 weeks now, but I started showing early on. Very hard to keep it a secret at work and those I did tell before 12 weeks (OH, parents, best friend) were all convinced I must be having twins until my first scan

troppibambini · 26/09/2019 22:29

You all look lovely no matter what size Thanks
When I did the pregnancy test for my fourth I literally couldn't do my zip up on my jeans when I came out of the looGrin
Well maybe not quite but I did show very very early!

InsertFunnyUsername · 26/09/2019 22:34

Just here for the cute bump pictures that everyone has Flowers

I'm 12 weeks pregnant with number 2 and am not showing just yet. I'm jealous though because at the moment I just look like I'm a cake lover Cake

JenDaw · 27/09/2019 11:01

Aww good. Glad it's not just me lol!

@emmab96 thanks :) xx
