2nd baby bump

[hallows]

Ladies.... how early did you all start to show with your 2nd pregnancy? I'm only around 6.5 weeks but I swear I've got a bump starting already! I didn't have one for months with my first... is this normal?? I'm worrying about hiding it from work 😂

It's bloat, can't be a bump they early.

In the 1st trimester it's usually bloating, baby is absolutely tiny at your stage. It will deflate a bit then a real bump will emerge later.

Most show earlier than with a 1st though as all your muscles and ligaments will relax earlier.

Currently pregnant with my 2nd (31 weeks now) and my bump is much bigger than with my first. Apparently it's normal as abdominal muscles have been battered from the 1st time round so the bump isn't being held in wuite as tight.

I'm trying to let it bother me but it is 🙃.

*quite as tight

Yes I started showing much earlier with my second. I was in mat jeans from being about 10 weeks! The first time I lost a lot of weight through having poorly managed HG so I was tiny but this time I've had better management and didn't lose any weight initially, so I feel HUGE in comparison. At 20 weeks I have a full on bump noticeable to everyone whereas I was only just out of a lot of my normal clothes at this gestation last time and only just starting to show a bit!
