? for Moms expecting Number 2 or 3

Im about 10 weeks pregnant with baby #2 and i feel like im 4 months pregnant - well - i certainly look it!
I'm trying to conceal my belly at work b/c i don;t want to tell my coworkers and bosses for another 3 weeks - 4 weeks - i don't know how long i can go since everything is fitting me tight and the scarf and big shirts isn't going to work for long......

Did everyone begin to show this early with there 2 or 3 pregnancy? How soon did you start wearing maternity shirts???

Im already wearing maternity pants - but i think the shirts will look ridiculously big on me - what did you do for this inbetween phase?

Re: ? for Moms expecting Number 2 or 3

I am pregnant with my 3rd. Here is a picture of me at 13 weeks. I was wearing maternity pants.

Re: ? for Moms expecting Number 2 or 3

I started showing at around 10 weeks this time.

Re: ? for Moms expecting Number 2 or 3

I started showing at 6weeks. I was also VERY thin when I conceived as well. I think that amplified things some...but by 8 weeks, I could no longer hide it.

Re: ? for Moms expecting Number 2 or 3

oh I was totally showing around 10 weeks....I posted my 12 week pics around here somewhere!

Re: ? for Moms expecting Number 2 or 3

This is #3 and I started showing around 15 weeks and have just really 'popped' now at 18 weeks.

Here is an 17 week picture for you:

You do start showing earlier...this is my 4th pregnancy and this is actually the only one that I didnt start showing until I was 16 weeks or so...But then again it has been 8 years since my last pregnancy

Re: ? for Moms expecting Number 2 or 3

this was my 3rd pregnancy and I started showing I think at 8 weeks--a pouch, I was pouchy with the 2nd prengancy too.
Wear whatever makes u comfortable don't worry! what about a bella band?

Re: ? for Moms expecting Number 2 or 3

This is my 3rd and I started showing around 4 months. It didn't help that I never really lost all my baby weight from my dd who was only 9 months old when I conceived #3.

Re: ? for Moms expecting Number 2 or 3

this is my second and I started showing pretty early on too.

Re: ? for Moms expecting Number 2 or 3

I did get bigger faster, but I just compared my belly to my pics lastime at 20 weeks and I look about the same. I think I leveled out. BUt I definately "popped" faster, but in different areas as well...

Re: ? for Moms expecting Number 2 or 3

I am on #2 while my belly did start rounding up faster - I didn't pop until 19-21 weeks and started wearing maternity around 20-21. A couple weeks earlier than last time but not too bad. Last time I gained weight all over and was out of my regular clothes fast and in 2 sizes bigger but this time it pretty much hasn't been too much of a weight gain and so far all in the belly luckily! I told my boss at 14 weeks and she said I didn't look preggo. I told some people at 19 weeks and even they were surprised and I was wearing a maternity shirt...so not too bad.

I definitely showed earlier - I lived in big bulky cardigans to hide

Re: ? for Moms expecting Number 2 or 3

I am preggo with #2. I am 20 weeks tomorrow. I am DEFINITELY showing much earlier and am much bigger already. I started wearing maternity about 6 weeks ago, it was still a little big but none of my other clothes fit me anymore (it is so depressing when you are in that in-between stage). I was very large at the end of my pregnancy last time (see my photo album for proof) so I am scared to see what I will look like this time around.
