Anyone around 10-12 weeks preggo, preferbly on 2nd baby

Can I see what your belly looked like around this time?

With DS I didn't have a belly whatsoever until about 22 weeks. I never really got to big with him, just wide

But now I am only a little over 5 weeks or so ((not sure just yet, have first sono next thursday)) and I seem to have a little tummy already.

We are going to Disney August 17 to August 22, and I need to buy capris/shorts to wear. But I don't know if I need maternity ones, or just should buy the next size and that will be fine.

I wanted to buy this stuff now, since fall stuff is coming out already, and I want to make sure I can find something for the summer lol

TIA!

I am almost 15 weeks (with my 2nd) and I am still in a mix of maternity and nonmaternity (size up) stuff. I don't have any pictures, but around 10 weeks I definitely had a belly, but could still fit in size up stuff as long as it sat low on the belly. HTH & have fun!

At 12wks I finally broke down and washed my old maternity clothes since everything was getting kind of snug but most of my maternity shorts are still a little loose. I'm 13wks and mostly wear shorts with elastic right now. The one thing I did have to do already was go up in bra size, the girls are back!

I have a photo of me at 10wks that I'll have to post later, it's still in the camera and I have to wait for DH to upload it for me.

i am only 7 weeks along with #2 but i am also still holding onto 15 lbs of pregnancy weight from #1.

with #1 i was able to wear maternity stuff by 12, 13 weeks without it looking funny or falling down - i showed very early. i am expecting that it will be the same with this one.

i also only wore full-panel pants and capris, which i think helps things stay up better.

I don't haveany pics but, around that time although I was showing (which shocked me since with my first pg I had no belly at all at this point) - no one else could really notice depending on what I wore. I was wearing all regular clothes BUT they were my bigger clothes and my jeans were out b/c they were very uncomfortable. I usually wear a 4-6 and it was the sie 6 clothes i was wearing all the time. I also wore a lot of dresses.

Now I am about 14.5 wks and my belly is unmistakeable - i actually feel pretty embarr b/c i wasn't this big with my first preg until like 20 wks - but i swear its not me gaining weight b/c i haven't gained a pound Now i have started wearing maternity clothes but i can still fit into the others they just don't look good.

HTH!

ETA: I've been having a lot of problems finding good maternity stuff b/c a lot of it (espcially the tops) are just too big...so you might be better off at that point just with a bigger size or elastic waist.

I'm 11 weeks and I def have a belly! It came out much quicker with #2! I can still fit in reg clothes...but maternity ones also fit fine!!

Thanks ladies, I thought it was only me! I couldn't believe when I woke up and looked down and show my belly popped a bit, which I'm sure is alot to do with the beginning bloat, but still lol.

I think I'm going to stick to dresses, and my regular tops, but just get maternity capris/shorts. Plus I do have that bella band thing, although I truly hated it.

Thank you all for the advice!

Me, I'm almost 10 weeks, and I'm showing a lot faster this time. My son is almost 18 months, and I think my body is just kicking in a lot earlier this time. I don't have a picture yet.
