When to Expect to Show-2nd Pregnancy

[FertileMertel]

This is my second pregnancy and I have heard women tend to show sooner in subsequent pregnancies. I was just wondering what other women with multiple kids have experienced. (When will I need to get those maternity pants with the very sexy elastic! lol!) Really I just need an excuse to go shopping!

I'd like to know too!! I already feel bloated and more pouchy....

Hey, we share the same due date! yay February 1st!

I started showing at 4 months with my 2nd.

I already feel really bloated too! Unfortunately I don't start to show real baby until 4 or 5 mos. I'm on the smaller side and never end up looking more than 6 mos pregnant....even at due date time!

I showed a little sooner. I don't think I have accurate experience though because my first was twins and I showed at 3 months with them, and around 3 months with my son. I'm interested to see how soon this one will show. I'm bloated and my pants are tight, but otherwise I'd have no clue that I was pregnant!

My second ended in m/c at 8 weeks but I got immediately pregnant again with my DD. I started showing around 8 weeks or so but my uterus was still big from my previous pregnancy and I was still had that bloated look. I will say that I carried my DD so differently than my DS. I also never measured more than 34cm but went to 41 weeks and had an 8lb 5oz baby. It was strange.

With my #2 I started showing around 10-12 weeks. With #3 maybe around the same time. With #4, I watched what I ate and was much more active and didnt noticeably show until around 14-15 weeks.

I find the bloat from 5-10 weeks is just bloat and usually goes away for me so I dont do anything major, just wear my more comfy pants, lol.

I don't really remember, but I think I was showing with ds (my 2nd pg) when I was 3 or 4 months. I DO remember going to a wedding or something when I was 4 months and just feeling huge. I picked out a shirt that showed off my bump and was thinking "will people think I'm pregnant or that I just got fat?" Like, I would look from one angle and was obviously pregant and then another angle I just looked thick. lol.
