Showing with second pregnancy

I'm currently around 7w pregnant with my second child.

I know you tend to start showing earlier the more pregnancies you have, so just curious as to when everyone started showing with their second?

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

I have an obvious bump around 11 weeks now with my second, but i started feeling bloated and struggling with my jeans from about 5 weeks on so quite early.
With my first I didn't show until after 20 weeks.

With my second I had a small bump much earlier than with my first as I remember having it when I had my first scan which was at 13 weeks. I could easily hide it though with certain clothes.

With my first I didn’t have a bump til I was about 25 weeks.

For comparison, I’m 16 weeks with my first. I think I’ve been showing since 10, and really came on at week 15.

I was very in shape pre pregnancy too - as in, visible 8 pack abs.

I started showing around 10 weeks with my 2nd, but you wouldn’t have noticed it unless I wore a tight top.

I’m 15 weeks now with my 3rd, and you can only really tell towards the end of the of the day. I don’t think it’s noticeable in normal clothes.

Quite surprised as I was expecting to balloon early on. Sure it will catch up with me though.
