"Popping" early in second pregnancy? Is this normal?
I'm 8 weeks and my stomach is sticking out. You wouldn't be able to tell I'm pregnant but I sure can. My pants aren't fitting me! I'm pretty sure I'm not going to be able to get to 12 weeks before I have to switch to maternity clothes if I keep going at this rate. Is this normal? Or am I just a fat ass? I have been eating like I may not eat ever again.
When did you begin wearing maternity clothes in your second pregnancy? I started at 22 weeks with my first so I'm not too happy about this.

Re: "Popping" early in second pregnancy? Is this normal?
I found that I was bloated and puffy and distended with my second pregnancy, this one. I felt like I was showing at 9 weeks, and I was wearing leggings by week 12. Last time, with twins I had made it to like 16 weeks or so before i needed to go stretchy.
 It's normal. With this pregnancy, I felt BIG all the time, even though I gained less weight.

Yes it's normal you tend to show sooner in subsequent pregnancies.

This is me exactly...I will be nine weeks on Thurs. My pants are tight too! I haven't told anyone outside of family that I am pregnant, so at work, I am trying to wear blousy shirts bc my pants are unbuttoned!

IMO normal. I started in maternity clothes quite early this time around (pants).

Re: "Popping" early in second pregnancy? Is this normal?
I thought I was starting to show early also. I made a post about I too! But I realized now that most of it was bloat. I'm 19 weeks today and barely have anything now. I feel like I was already showing much more with my first. But I have already gained 10 lbs by 16 weeks, so who knows!

I'm definitely not. Almost 12 weeks with my second and still in all my regular clothes. My pants were unbuttoned by this time with DC1.

Re: "Popping" early in second pregnancy? Is this normal?
I think since our stomach muscles are stretched/seperated you look pregnant sooner. I am about 3 weeks ahead of where I was with DS1 and am not fitting into my regular pants at 12 weeks.

Re: "Popping" early in second pregnancy? Is this normal?
At this time in my last pregnancy I was still very flat & my pants still fit fine for another 6 weeks or so, this time I have the belly pudge starting already, not a true baby belly but starting to look like I put on a few pounds in the belly area & my pants are starting to feel a little tight. I think it's normal.

Re: "Popping" early in second pregnancy? Is this normal?
Funny I just found this thread... was going to post something similar. I am about 9.5 weeks and I am definitely already showing. I actually took a picture this morning of my "bump" because I can't believe it. I am trying to hold out until 12 weeks, we haven't even told our families yet! I hope no one at work is noticing.

MEEEEEE TOO. I know there's a million other reasons for the belly...bloat, gas, etc...but it's there regardless and I cannot wear a single thing excpet leggings right now, unless they are unbuttoned and even then....it's touch and go
