When did you start showing in second pregnancy

[Butterfly134]

Hi all,
I only just found out I'm pregnant yesterday and according to my Flo app I am 5 weeks and 2 days pregnant. I was just curious as to when you started showing for your second pregnancies as I want to keep my pregnancy hidden for a while due to issues related to work.

Congratulations on your pregnancy OP! I found with my second I bloomed much quicker than with my first, to the point that I struggled to hide it and discussed with DH if we should just announce sooner than the planned 12 week point.

I lived in his baggy T-shirts for the first trimester! And I found I had to wear maternity jeans much sooner than I had in my first to be comfortable. When we did announce it I couldn't believe that people hadn't guessed already. I honestly looked about 6 months pregnant!

I'd bloated early from 6 weeks and it never went down. I was convinced people could tell as was very pot bellied but my team at work seemed genuinely surprised when I officially told them right before 12 weeks. Already had an early scan and was struttling with fatigue and sickness. If anyone speculated before that I don't know.

Very soon. With my first I didn't show at all until 20 weeks. This time it was very clear I thought from 12 weeks. I'm now 20 weeks and side by side my 32 week bump from DD1 looks like my bump now 😳 I'm huge!
