Moms having their second child...Question?

The second pregnancy do you get bigger faster? I havent even had a chance to really lose all my belly fat. And right now even though its so early my belly looks so bloated and big like I am 12 wks preggo or something.

Re: Moms having their second child...Question?

I didn't. I thought I would because I'm slender, but at 13 weeks I'm just now starting to show, but def not in the public eye I'm sure.

Re: Moms having their second child...Question?

I don't think I did... This pregnancy is completely different from my first. I am carrying much lower (still another girl). I went through a lot of bloat with this one too so I looked bigger early on, but then really looked pregnant by 18+ weeks or at least that is when people started to notice a pregnant belly. I have to say the stretching pains and belly button stretching (uteruine) has been a lot more painful this time around.

Re: Moms having their second child...Question?

I said this already to you but I'll answer here too. I don't think I'm getting bigger faster but my muscles are just not tight anymore so I am popping sooner/showing sooner. Link to 2nd Pregnancy Q&A

Re: Moms having their second child...Question?

With my second, I started showing around 9 weeks I think.

Re: Moms having their second child...Question?

I think I got bigger faster; I'm about 25 weeks, and most people aren't quite sure if I'm pregnant. I think it depends on the day and how bloated I am.

Re: Moms having their second child...Question?

I didnt really have much of a belly with my first until 6 months or so and I am now 9 weeks and I feel like I look very bloated.

Re: Moms having their second child...Question?

For me, yes. I was still in regular clothes at 24-25weeks with the first.

Re: Moms having their second child...Question?

I am thin and with my 1st I did not show until about 6 months and this time it was for like 16-17 weeks. So I say yes!

Re: Moms having their second child...Question?

This is my second time around and I'm currently 22 w. I'm definitely bigger than I was at this time in my first pregnancy.

It's partly my fault though, I was a little more indulgent this go around with the fattening foods

I'm starting to keep myself in check now and am hoping I'll be on track to gain 30lbs.

Re: Moms having their second child...Question?

Yup, I got a little belly right away! I was showing much quicker this time.

Re: Moms having their second child...Question?

I have to answer no for me.....

Re: Moms having their second child...Question?

I started showing at 11-12 weeks this time and last time it was more like 16-17 weeks.

Re: Moms having their second child...Question?

I did ..by about 12 weeks I was out of my prepreggo pants

Re: Moms having their second child...Question?

yes. Even at 30 weeks I am much bigger than I was with my last. At this point I am done!
I can't wait to have the baby b/c I am starting to feel uncomfortable.

Re: Moms having their second child...Question?

I did but leveled off at some point. I'm also carrying differently and not as big as I was with DS yet at the same point (8 months pregnant). It's been different the whole time. But, everyone is different.

Re: Moms having their second child...Question?

I am bigger than I was with my first but for a different reason. I am carrying differently. My daughter was sideways so I was wide now I am more upfront- if that makes sense. I also look much bigger because even though I had lost all the weight my boobs were still bigger so now that they need their own zip code I look bigger.

Re: Moms having their second child...Question?

I lost my waist a lot faster with my second pregnancy, however I didn't gain very much weight. My total weight gain was about 12 lbs at 8.5 months.
