Second baby bump

When did people start to show with their second baby? Not bloating but actual bump.

I’m very early pregnant (8 weeks tomorrow) with my second and I’ve heard loads that second baby bumps show sooner but as my daughter is 7 now I’m wondering if my body will have “forgotten” and will be more like the first time

I didn't have a noticeable bump until 21 weeks with my second and current pregnancy

@Irishgirl55 that’s good to know. I don’t want to show too early as I want to be able to keep it a secret from my daughter as long as possible as she will just be so excited that it will seem like forever away for her and I’ll be asked repeatedly how long 😂. She’s 7 so will recognise a baby bump so will be no hiding it once I show as I’m not big.

I had a small bump from around 13-14 weeks I would say, but I could hide it if I wanted to. Now 23 weeks and huge, probably as big as I was at 34-35 weeks with my first! Second baby also.

Following.

I’m 11 weeks pregnant and am convinced I’m starting to show slightly already. Last time I didn’t get to this point until around 15 weeks. I haven’t had a scan yet so the possibility of twins has crossed my mind.

Starting showing about 13 weeks with my second. Had a full bump by 20 weeks.

Started getting a bump around 15 weeks but was bloated before that. I'm now 34 weeks and actually think I'm smaller than my first, definitely no bigger.

Oooo so maybe not as long as I was hoping. I’m only 5ft tall but my first bump didn’t show until around 20 weeks and even then I just looked a bit bloated. Bump was only measuring 31 weeks at 41 weeks but she was fine just tucked in and not a big baby. So seems like it could show any point after 15 weeks or so

I also have a seven year gap and felt like I was showing from ten weeks, but looking back I was able to hide it pretty well until around 20 weeks either cardigans and scarves.

@annlee3817 Thinking it will be harder to hide with clothes from my daughter. I’ll be able to hide it at work until I’m ready but my daughter touches me and hugs me etc so will notice any bump. Handy to know I should be able to keep it a secret at work for awhile. I’ll tell my manager and HR but don’t need everyone here to know for a couple reasons
