I am a little over three months pregnant with my second and suddenly I am feeling huge. It has been a couple of years since my first pregnancy, but I feel like I didn't start really showing until I was around five months. Just curious if other mommies started showing early with their second, third, etc pregnancies. I am exercising regularly (walking and swimming) and eating a much better diet than before I was pregnant. I don't feel overall huge, just feel like my belly has really popped out there.
By my 3rd I was wearing "stretchy" pants and maternity pants by 3 months. Just so much more comfortable.
Congrats on Baby
Yeah everything happens faster with each baby. Its also hormones that are making you bloated and puffy, and for me just crazy! It leveled out around 5-6 months and I felt great until I actually started getting huge. Im 9 months now and def feeling HUGE!
Yeah, with my first, I could still button my skinny jeans until 7 months (but I'm 6' tall, so the baby had lots of room to start with :). And then at 7 months all of a sudden I became gigantic.
With baby #2, the minute the 2 pink lines appeared on the pregnancy test, I had to haul out the maternity wear. I think my stomach muscles never really recovered from baby #1! (To this day! LOL)
I feel your pain! I actually lost almost 30 lbs. my first 5 months of this pregnancy (number 2), and by month 3 was feeling larger than I had before I got pregnant! Explain that one to me!!! ;) Now at almost 6 months I feel like a whale (especially compared to my itty bitty neighbor who is having her first...), but I figure it will all be worth it when I meet my little man! :)
Oh I was there just a few short weeks ago. I felt huge at that stage. and you don't really look pregnant yet, just feel fat.
I am 28 weeks now and feel even BIGGER! and now I do look pregnant, so people even tell me "wow, look at your belly" or "your belly is getting so big" etc, etc. I definitely felt and was bigger faster with this pregnancy than my first. So you aren't alone! Hang in there and congrats on your baby!
Yep - #2 started popping out way earlier. It's like your body already knows where to stretch and just goes for it!
I'm pregnant now, almost 10 weeks, but I'm in your boat. This is only my first, but due to morning sickness, I've only been eating fruit, but still trying to exercise and stay healthy. I'm only showing a tiny bit (my pants are tight), but I too feel huge. Personally I think it's because I'm not able to "suck in" anymore if I'm trying to look good! I'm sure in your case, though, it's normal, since you've had one before. Congrats on your new addition :)
Our muscles are a little more relaxed with our second, third etc. I was showing pretty good and wearing maternity clothes at two months with my third.
Totally! I am pregs with the third, 12 weeks tomorrow, I feel like I look more like 5 months! It happens, I am just wearing maternity clothing and going with it! Congrats :D
