Bump is showing already

[hypeman]

I'm 9 weeks pregnant with my second baby. A combination of lots of bloating, eating for atleast 3 to avoid feeling sick and presumably everything stretching a bit quicker this time has led to noticeable stomach area.

I'm so self conscious, mostly that people will guess I'm pregnant but also just that people will notice I'm bigger.

I feel like my parents keep looking at me but I don't know if I'm being paranoid.

I've brought some next size up / forgiving clothes to try and disguise a few more weeks.

Is anyone else feeling like this?

I don't want to announce until after 12 week scan. I'm already nervous about telling my family about #2 as I feel they'll think it's a mistake. My husband and I have had a difficult year & the timing isn't perfect so I'm already stressed about having to tell them.

Just venting really

YES! Me. 11 weeks today and it’s obvious. Third pregnancy. Last time I had twins and didn’t tell work until 24 weeks because I was tiny. This time is a different story!!

Me also! I'm 10.5 weeks, second pregnancy & I'm showing a lot more now this time round too. Constantly having to hide it under baggy jumpers. Can't wait to tell people once I've had my scan soon!
I think it's quite common to show earlier with your second.

I've been bloating up hugely since the very start. I wake up in the morning looking svelte, but after a big meal I suddenly look about 6 months along! I think it's all gas in my case 😫

I'm 6 weeks and feel massive compared to last time. Doesn't help that I still had pregnancy/Christmas weight on but the additional bloating is making me feel so obvious 🙈 could all be in my head though 😂🤷🏼‍♀️

Also 9 weeks and look 18.... Same starting weight as my first pregnancy, so glad I'm working from home and having a quiet month as far as socialising goes

Not currently pregnant, but with dc2, people offered me their seats at a social event when I was 10 weeks! I got chatting to someone at the swimming pool and mentioned it around the same time and he was like "yeah, it's really obvious, but I didn't want to say"!

Can you lay low for a few weeks? Or buy big floaty dresses and say you've done a makeover and only wear Toast style massive sacks!

Also me 🙋‍♀️

Currently 12 weeks with dc2 and dp has told me it can already be seen through my baggiest of jumpers. Thank goodness for wfh!

With DS I was 18/19 weeks and still in my regular jeans. This time I've struggled since week 6/7 to do them up!

I felt that way with dc2, I didn’t really want to tell anyone until as late as possible as I had only recently returned from may leave. I
Felt very self conscious of the bump and eventually told everyone at about 16 weeks, being convinced that everyone had already figured it out as I was so rounded. Apparently they hadn’t noticed at all!

Turns out people are far more likely to notice you avoiding wine, certain foods than being a bit rounded!

Congratulations x

Oh jeez well I'm glad it's not just me. Thanks everyone.

Had a crisis this morning getting ready for work as DH said 'you can't wear that - it's REALLY obvious'.

Unfortunately I can't work from home and I have a uniform to wear at work so I can't just wear a jumper. I really don't know what to do!

I'm not sure if people noticed if they would actually say anything or just chatter amongst themselves but I think they would notice now.

I've had a lot of bleeding in this early pregnancy and I have had an early scan showing all was well but I was really hopeful to wait until 12 weeks to tell people so I had more reassurance. I haven't even told my toddler yet!

I guess now I'm stuck with weather to just tell people and face the risk of things going wrong or try and fail to hide it and hope nobody is bold enough to mention it.

I'd brazen it out. I'd like to think (or hope!) that most people would be polite enough to not mention it until you do x
