Showing with 2nd pregnancy - Page 2

[monica82]

I'm 14 weeks and think I started showing this past week or so...at least to those who know me. Others just think I got belly chub going on probably. STarting to wear a size bigger clothes, but not really maternity yet. First time around I think I started showing a few weeks later. I could still wear all normal clothes til 2nd trimester.

My jeans stopped fitting around 5.5 weeks this time. I think I made it to 8 weeks last time. I've always carried the majority of my excess weight in my belly, so I'm not sure a what point it became obvious that I was pg and not just gaining weight. I definitely prefer to choose "obvious" maternity tops early on - I'd rather have people guessing pregnancy early than assume I'm gaining for no reason.

I didn't start showing with my first until about 18 weeks and didn't pop noticeably to others until about 24 weeks I think (maybe even later).

With this one I was showing by 12 weeks, noticeably pregnant to the public by 18 weeks and had a nice rounded out preggo belly by 20 weeks. It all evened out eventually and now at 37 weeks I think I actually look smaller than I did with my first because this one is carrying so much lower.
