Pregnant belly - when did you show 2nd pregnancy????

[Jacci PG]

When did everyone start getting a pregnant belly with their second child??? I am only 8 weeks and I seem to have a belly already!!!!

JacciPG - Congrats on your pregnancy! I remember at about 9 weeks my clothes started to get uncomfortably tight and I bought my first pair of maternity pants. They were just casual pants to wear around the house but for work I was still squeezing into my normal work clothes. By 12 weeks I couldn't hide the tummy any longer and it was full blown maternity clothes. Nothing else was comfortable over my belly.

It was definitely quicker with the 2nd, but I don't remember when.

My SIL showed within 6 weeks, so much so she ended up having an u/s to check for twins but it was her 5th child and was just a single in the end.

I showed earlier the 2nd time around too. I'm not quite sure of the exact weeks though, sorry.

I had a little belly by about 9 weeks the second time. I was actually smaller overall though so it isn't a sign that you will be huge at the end, just that your ab muscles give up earlier.
This time around I had a belly at 6 weeks and now at 12 weeks I look like I did at 20 weeks the first time. Thank goodness I am far enough along to not try to hide it anymore.
Congrats on the pregnancy.

I had a little belly by 8 weeks this time around but didn't look pregnant to the "outside world" by 12 weeks it was noticeable to everyone

I didn't show with DS at all until around 18 weeks, so definitely quicker this time!
