Same with me, didn't start showing until almost 5 months with the first one, but showed a lot sooner the the two that followed, at about 3 months.
You totally look pregnant faster with the 2nd! With my first pregnacy, no one could tell I was pregnant up until the 6th month, and then they were still unsure of how far I was! With my 2nd, I looked major preggo by my 3rd month. All around weight gain with the 2nd - in my face, arms, etc... It's all good though - you're creating a miracle! Good luck!
With my son I hid I was pregnant till I was through my 1st trimester. With my daughter - she was very much a surprise - my first sign was my stomach - nothing else!!! I looked at my stomach and thought "I'm gaining weight" then "Um, that looks like a pregnant belly" - sure enough I was 6 weeks along! We all progress so differently!
At 6 weeks pregnant I couldn't button my jeans anymore. By 10 weeks I was obviously pregnant and had to start buying maternity clothes. At 12 weeks people were asking me when I was due.
It's absolutely normal to look pregnant very early. Each pregnancy is different, and your body will do different things each time. I wouldn't worry about it.
I've heard, not really had the experience though, that becaue your muscels have already expanded once they are more quickly to expand again. In other words your body doesn't have to as much pressure as it did before to show through your muscles. I hope this makes sense :) congrats on your second!
Congrats on your pregnancy! Yes, it's totally normal. Your muscles and uterus are already stretched thanks to your first pregnancy and all those hormones just let everything hang out. The same thing happened to me - it all evens out in the end (when we are all huge!), so not to worry.
Enjoy your pregnancy!
I'm 31 weeks and people keep asking me if I'm ready to POP! So to answer your question yes some, not all of us, do start showing early!! Honestly, since the moment I got pregnant I swear I started showing immediately! I just accepted it and have learned to embrace it because I don't have a choice! :)
yes, faster with each one. I'm on my third pregnancy and at 6 weeks, I was in maternity bottoms, cuz I couldn't handle anything tight on my tummy. By 8 weeks I HAD to tell at work cuz I couldn't hide it anymore . . . I mean, you can only wear so many scarves and ruffled shirts before people start wondering. I'm now 20 weeks and I had a lady yesterday ask when I was due, I said Oct 19th and she said "wow, are you sure?". I was also at the dr this am, and a woman signing in said she'd just had her 20 week ultrasound and was having a boy, and she didn't look preggo, here I am feeling like I'm waddling already.
With my 3rd child, by the time I was 9 weeks along, I was already starting to wear maternity pants (I could still get away with my regular shirts). I was so embarrased, there was no way of hiding it until I got out of my first trimester like so many woman do. The worst part, was when I was 6 months along, strangers would ask me things like, "do any day huh?" or "are you having twins?". I don't know why I was so huge, but I just was. However, after baby came, I was able to lose the weight and am back to a size 4:)
Yes, you show sooner since your abdominal wall is already stretched out. I was six weeks pregnant and I had coworkers asking around to see if people knew that I was pregnant.
