2nd pregnancy 17wks not showing?

[AIC2015]

Hi,

I'm 17 + 1 weeks with my second baby. My DD is 6 years old.

I spent the first trimester only managing carbs. But my size 10 jeans still do up and feel okay. When I lay on my stomach it feels slightly uncomfortable and I bloat by the end of the day, but there's definitely no bump yet. I just thought I'd be showing by now, and I'd of expected increased hunger in second trimester but my appetite is the same as before I got pregnant.

What were anybody else's experiences of their second baby onwards? When did you start showing? Did anyone have an absence of all the symptoms these apps tells us about? X

I didn't start showing until about 24 weeks with my second, it was about 28 weeks with my first for comparison.

I lost my appetite with DC2 and was sick a lot during my first trimester. I lost over a stone and didn't show until I was about 23 weeks.

@Garman that's reassuring! I can't remember what week it was with my first but it was 20+ weeks definitely!

I'm nearly 19 weeks with my second and can still do up my jeans. I get a lot of bloat in the evening but I most definitely don't look pregnant. I think I will show sooner this time but I was very late to show first time.
