Did you notice a differance in size with your 2nd child

[starshaker]

basically with my first i didnt show till i was about 4 or 5 months and even then i still managed to wear my normal clothes. Ive noticed now that i already feel like a whale and im only 6 weeks. Surely this cant be normal.
So basically im asking when did u start to notice changes with your second pregnancy?

oh yes, I didn't find out with my forst until I was 7 weeks. I found out with my 2nd when I was just under 4 weeks.
With my first, I didn't show for what seemed like ages. With my 2nd I felt incredibly bloated (looked pregnant) at just 5/6 weeks. I wondered if it was because I found out so early, I gave up the gi diet I was doing and lived off of carbs which bloated me out - I was starving most of the time though!

yeah i feel so bloated all the time and the fact i have a thing for chocolate cupcakes mmmmm is probably not helping much

oh yes indeed once it knows which way to pop that is that

first time showed at 5 months, proper bump at 6.

second time showing at 9-10 weeks.

third time - am only 8 weeks and have a bump and can't do up my tighter trousers..

second baby was half a pound heavier but don't think it necessarily means anything.

Oh yes, as above. Now on DC3 and was in proper maternity clothes at 8 weeks!

total opposite here. had dd first, was huge, showed very soon. had ds 2nd. didn't show until nearly 6 months, didn't get big at all. dd was 8lb 4oz and 1 wk over due. ds was 8lb 11oz and 2 wks overdue.

I showed a lot earlier with my second, but didn't get as big towards the end and generally had a much neater bump.

With DS1 barely showed until right up to the very end. With this pregnancy, popped at about 6 weeks.

I likened it to blowing up a balloon - no resistance after the first time

My stomach just gave out and said "grow into that!"

DD was 6lb 2oz, then DS was 9lb 6oz , so I did have some excuse!

was bloated with 1st,and had to eat all time or vom!and showed at 3months,she was 8 1b 9. same with 2nd,in maternity clothes at 3 months...he was 9 1b 6...preg for 3rd time and at 23 weeks am big.big belly.big boobs.big arse...my size 12 jammy bottoms are straining at the seams!am hoping am not in for a 10 pounder!

I'm 25 weeks and I was about this size last time when I was around 33 weeks. Everyone has commented that I am much bigger this time. When I told people at 12 weeks that I was pregnant a lot of people said they had already known for weeks as there was already a definite bump!
