im pregnant with my second baby. with my first i started showing at 3 months, and i was super bloated the first two. my tummy got HUGE by the end of the pregnancy. i am a small framed person who had a 8.67 oz baby and a tilted uterus so i think those all were factors in why i showed so early.
so i always heard you get bigger or show earlier with your second. I am only about a month along but i am SO bloated already so i look pregnant. haha
what about you ladies how early did you show in your pregnancies?
I've only had one. I thought I would never show. I felt him really early and was sick the entire pregnancy. I finally started showing noticeably at almost 8 months!!! I never had to buy maternity clothes, so that was nice!
I showed very early with my first. I was in maternity clothes at 12 weeks.
I was noticeably pregnant at 25 weeks. Only had one.
13 weeks w first, basically six weeks w next but could hide til 13 wks.
Some very late (we 're talking 4-5 months).
Some in the first month.
One little girl I DIDN'T show with at all. Uterus was growing up instead of out. Bikini @ 6 months.
I'm prone to late term miscarriage. Sonyhe only one I got to air was my son.
He was an early bird. I was in pregnancy clothes in month 2.
With my first baby, I was noticeably pregnant at about 16 weeks. With my 2nd, at 9 weeks I had to announce my pregnancy at work even though I was not ready to, because I was showing.
13 weeks with first, by 8 weeks I was in maternity clothes with my second, and now at 8 weeks with my third, my one pair of shorts are getting too tight. I'm not really showing, though.
I think it really depends on the person and like you said, how your uterus is tilted. With all of my pregnancies I didn't show for a long, long time. Like still not really looking good and pregnant until 6 or 7 months! But I do remember with my third getting a bloated tummy right away! Like by 5 or 6 weeks along. I thought for sure I was just going to pop right out this time and be one of those people in maternity cloths by the time I was 12 weeks. But my tummy ended up just staying a little bloated until around 6 months again, then POP! I was out! LOL This time I haven't noticed any difference...yet. so we'll just have to wait and see!
With my first I was nearly 5 months before I had to switch to maternity wear. With my second, I was digging through the attic by 15 weeks!
Well, if your abdominal walls are weak (mine) then you show earlier ... 4ish months was when I started. That is why TYPICALLY you show sooner with your second, thrid etc.
