I'm pregnant with my second child only about 5 weeks. I go to the doctors on the 27th. I feel like I want to eat all the time. Is this normal or all in my head. How fast do you start to show with your second child.

What can I do next?

Congrats!! My second I didn't show til I was about 10 weeks. I was extremely sick with her (inhome IVs the entire time), so no eating with her. My 3rd, yes there was a 3rd - I was showing at 7 weeks and had to eat to not feel sick.

Congrats! I felt like I wanted to eat all the time with my first but not with my second (so far). Just pick a healthy choice or two before going to the junk food. You'll probably show a little sooner since your body has been through this before.

Congratulations! I started showing very early on but,kept it a secret until about 8 weeks from co-workers (It was hard to hide),and about 12 weeks for the extended family and friends. I believe that sometimes it is in my head "I want to eat" but, I am sure with your body changing in the early stages that your craving more because your baby needs more.

Just write all of your questions down so you can ask your doctor at your appointment. Good luck!

I showed at six weeks. No kidding. My coworkers were asking around to see if anyone knew if I was pregnant. Congrats!!

Congratulations! I can't address the appetite question because I spent my first trimester constantly queasy. But with my second, I do think my abdominal muscles decided to give up without a fight. It took me about 3 months to show with my first, but I was showing by about 6-7 weeks with my second, and it had little to do with weight gain, since I only gained 19 pounds over the course of that entire pregnancy (unlike the 35 I gained and mostly kept from my first-born - can I still blame the extra weight on the baby if she's 10?). I have talked with other girlfriends who had similar experience with showing early with subsequent pregnancies.

Summa:

Congratulations!!

Each pregnancy is different. I wanted to eat all the time with my first - weird things too...well, what I thought were weird at the time!! LOL!!

With my second? I started showing around 10 weeks - looked like I was 4 or 5 ...urgh!! then went stagnant for about 3 months and popped out again!!! So it felt like I was pregnant for 12 months!!
