    Did your belly pop quicker 2nd / 3rd time around?

    Just wondering if others have experienced this popping of the belly much earlier in their 2nd or 3rd (or 4th, 5th ) time around the pregnancy merry go round?

    I'm only about 4-5 wks on #3 and I've got a definite pop already. Only a matter of weeks at maximum I can hide this for (waiting to announce after first u/s).

    Yep, but I have a feeling it was more the fact I could let it all hang out as soon as I saw the pink lines...

    DD2 ppl were asking me if i was at 10 weeks.
    this time though i had the major bloating from 4-7ish weeks and it all calmed down and i def dont have a smidge of a bump atm. (and im about 10kgs lighter than last time too!)

    Definitely started showing sooner third time round, but as the others said it settled down (was probably just a lot of bloating and wind!) I'm now around 14 weeks and have a bit of a bump but still haven't put any weight on yet, with my first two I didn't even look pregnant till I was about 25 weeks! So it's kind of nice to actually look pregnant! My body is definitely remembering what to do

    Definitely popped out quicker with #2. I went back to work still keeping the pregnancy under wraps and had to wear some very baggy tops to cover it up.
