so is it normal to gain weight really fast after your 1st or 2nd baby when pregnant again. im 8 1/2 wks and i feel like im showing way to much. i never really got rid of my "extra skin" but this is ridiculous. i had a mom tell me the same thing this morning and she is pregnant with #3. when i had my 3rd and 4th i blew up fast. is it just me or is it normal? my stomach isnt even hard its just flabby. so depressed... :(

What can I do next?

Im currently pregnant with baby number 2 and I am 11 weeks along and I swear I was looking about 15 or 16 weeks at 8 weeks pregnant. People can very easily tell that I am pregnant now. I dont know how I got so big so fast but I did so I could see it happening with baby number 3. I dont know about you but I already feel like a whale at night when I lay down. Im shocked at how big I am
Congrats BTW

You're not alone hun! Yes, there are the lucky ones that have babies 16 months apart and never look pregnant in between babies. Then there are the majority of us who never seem to lose the flabby tummy and look 5 months pregnant before the first trimester is up. Makes it hard to keep it a secret the 2nd and 3rd time around huh? Check out the question from today about getting rid of stretchmarks and tummy skin- bet you'd find it interesting. I did.

Yes! I also showed way sooner with my second one than with my first, even though I lost all the baby weight. With my first one it took forever for me to finally start showing (about five months, I think) but with my second one I swear you could tell the moment I found out I was pregnant. :-)

Try not to be depressed; be happy and excited that you are having another beautiful baby! Congratulations!

I think so-I noticed my underwear didn't fit within 2 weeks of being pregnant-and I didn't even have any idea i might be pregnant-I thought i was just hitting the carbs to hard!

It doesn't ever go away does it post baby either-ughh!!!!

Normal - your stomach muscles were already stretched after the first and/or second.
