Ok What's the Deal?

I just found out I'm pregnant with #2 . . . I'm only a little over 4 weeks along, and I would swear I already have a belly!! Is this even a tiny bit possible? With my son I had a ton of bloating early on. I was so uncomfortable that even though my clothes technically still fit, I opted to go into maternity at 8 weeks. I guess I'm just curious how soon everyone started showing with their second child?

What can I do next?

With my first baby I was in maternity clothes at about 5-6 months, with my second it was more like 3 months (maybe earlier but it was 5 years ago) and with baby #3 I am sure that I had to pull out those old clothes WAY before I even knew I was pregnant :) I think you stomach muscle relax a bit with each pregnancy no matter how many sit ups you do and there for that baby in there will demand all that space much sooner then the olds sibling did. Just enjoy being prgnant no matter how soon you take out those maternity clothes, its the only time in you life here on Earth that you will get to assist God in a miracle! Congrats to you and your family on the newest addition!

Ha! I had to move back into my maternity clothes at 12 weeks with #2, seriously...you pop out WAY faster with #2. Gotta think Mother Nature for not letting us totally get those stomach muscles back to where they once were.

Enjoy it - pregnancy is SUCH a miracle.

Um, EXACTLY the same here! I have been looking online for some validation and have read plenty of mamas expressing the same thing... still, it just kinda feels blah. Ecstatic to be pregnant, but seriously... what's up with the bulge already? Thanks for the post. Congratulations.

Hi J.:
Sure its possible.You've already had one child,and now,its much easier for your uterus to expand.You will show sooner,and hopefully have an easier pregnancy,and a Quicker delivery.Don't be suprised,if you have the second one right on time or a little early.Congrats J.,your timing is ideal.You wouldn't want your children much further apart.I wish you the best.

With my first, I started wearing maternity clothes at 5-6 months. With my second, I popped out within the first few weeks of being pregnant. People asked when the baby was due, and were shocked to hear I was only 3 months pregnant. Good luck, and I hope you have a happy, healthy pregnancy!
