When did you start to show second pregnancy?

[Elisabeth3468]

I'm 10 weeks second pregnancy and feel like I already have a bump. Like I definitely cannot hold it in and definitely cannot do my trousers up.
It must be mainly bloat because baby is tiny at the moment surely?
I'm just so surprised I feel so large at such an early stage.
My first pregnancy I didn't really have a bump till about 18/19 weeks.

9/10 weeks I had a bump second time around, I started to be asked if I was pregnant by people around 11 weeks as it was so noticeable. I thought the same about surely baby is tiny but it was deffo a bump!

I was exactly the same OP. When I announced it at work at 12 weeks I was surprised that everyone was so surprised! I was convinced they'd guessed because I was huge! I was definitely much bigger earlier with my second than with my first. From about 8 weeks I really started to bloat. It slowed down though don't worry!

Same, 4 months now and I look the same as 6 months last time round, had to stop wearing my normal trousers at 11 weeks. I am worried how big I'm going to get by the end if I'm this size now, need to start doing some core exercises 😅

Yes, it's normal to show earlier in subsequent pregnancies. In my first I didn't wear maternity clothes until after 6 months (much to my disappointment!). Was prob about 4 months with my second. I'm not a really skinny person (5'5, about 10 stone), but I got my figure back as soon as my second was born (took longer after my first). It was possibly bc I was running around after a 1 year old whilst pregnant (my children are just under 2 years apart). Good luck with your pregnancy x

I had a little bump by 12 weeks, so much sooner than with first 🫣

Thanks all! Seems like it's pretty normal then. Went to buy myself some new dresses for my holiday and everything in my normal size was tight but just on the stomach area!

Yup! Very normal. My mum figured it out at 8 weeks. My poor jeans gave up not long after, and I had to buy maternity wear by 10 weeks. Managed to get by by just sizing up with my furst. If it was bloat, it was bloat that decreased at the same rate the bump was growing.

Like 10 weeks 🤣 I'm lucky I wfh or my work would have realized ages ago!!

My current 16 week bump is the same as my 1st pregnency's 24 week bump!

20 weeks both times for me, which was handy for keeping it a secret. I think I might have a roomy pelvis!

I was showing around 9 weeks but a lot of it was bloating! Even before 12 weeks i had to do the hairband trick on jeans as it was uncomfortable.

I have had a proper bump since 16 weeks. They say as everything is stretched from first pregnancy you tend to show quicker.

Glad I'm not alone! This is my stomach at 10 weeks x

Normal. I was fucking huge at 16 weeks with my second.

Around 12 weeks with my 2nd, I didn't tell anyone in work until I was 18 weeks and I thought they would all have guessed anyway because I had a definite bump and had to start wearing looser clothes, but they all said they were surprised! (Maybe all just thought I'd put weight on but too nice to say haha)

9/10 weeks, there was no way of hiding it. With my first I had a bump about 12 weeks.

Is it because our abs are much weaker maybe? My son is 2 and a half and I lost a lot of weight after him so thought I'd take much longer to show as I'm slimmer this time.
