Is it true what they say about showing quicker with number 2?

Not actually pregnant... well as far as I know!

Just trying to find an explaination for my sudden weight gain.
In the past 2 weeks I seem to have just ballooned. Im a size 12 and noticed my jeans were getting tight so dug out my size 14 "comfy" jeans and they are getting snug too!

I havent been eatting any worse than normal so not really sure why?

I dont really think I am pregnant but cant help a little niggle in the back of my head. If I was it would literally only be a few weeks.

I did bloat big time at first with DD, at 14 weeks I looked about 6mths!

Well get a test and see.... I showed quickly for No 2& 3 tho obv my biggest indicator was the lack of periods, but I also did bloat a bit.

Yes I showed at 6 weeks with number 2.

It could be that, I bloated loads in the early weeks even first time round and even worse 2nd time!

But if you do a test and it is -ve, might be worth getting checked over as sudden weight gain can be a sign of other medical problems I think.

Me too!!!
im so glad someone has brought this up because it was really getting me down. im only 7 weeks along with number 2 and i feel huge and bloated. i think ill be waving goodbye to my size 12's pretty soon - sob!

but i feel better knowing its not just me.

thanks girls.xx

Same as Picante. Showed at 6 weeks with this pregnancy, didnt show until 16 weeks with DS.

I'm almost 8 weeks with No 2 and feel really, really bloated. Had an early scan because of bleeding last week and little bean is 1cm long , absolutely wonderful to see but did make me wonder what else is taking up all that space!! Is it just water retention?! Last time around I didn't look properly pregnant til about 6 months. No idea I'm going to keep this quiet for another month - sure it's going to be blatantly obvious to anyone who knows me
