When did you start showing in your second pregnancy?

Just as the title says really!

Im only 5 foot 3 and quite slim and didn’t start showing until about 20 weeks with my first.

Im 11 weeks with my second and still no bump yet (some days lots of bloating which LOOKS like a bump but it’s generally gone in the morning).

Is is still quite early and normal not to have a bump yet it a second pregnancy? Google images is a telling me otherwise especially because I’m quite small🤨

First preg I could suck my bump in at 7 months and not look preg
Second one I seemed to bloat almost instantly and was bloated a while before bump formed

First pregnancy I was around 24week or so when I had a visible bump. Currently 17 weeks pregnant and still very small, bigger at night after full day of food but I don’t think I’ll show till least 20 weeks

everyone’s bodies/babies are different. But I do feel bigger sooner with the 2nd!

I’m currently 14 weeks, and I’d say it’s only the last 2 or so I’ve started showing.

Exactly the same for me. I’m not sure when my bump actually formed but I was congratulated by another mum at 8 weeks pregnant, but that was probably the bloat!

Thanks for the replies. The bloat is intense and I don’t remember it being like this my first pregnancy!

I didn’t have any bloat in my first pregnancy at all. My second pregnancy was bloat from early on and I know others who had the same experience. I’m genuinely not sure when the bloat became a bump. Made it really difficult to hide the second time round!

This sounds exactly like me too! I keep thinking I’m seeing a bump then it goes away again and it’s obviously just been mostly bloat😩😩
