I fell pregnant when DD was around 11 months. I showed very quickly. i was asked at 4 weeks if i was pregnant
Though this baby i just looked fat for a long time. Its only now at 22 weeks i have an obvious bump, or so ive had a few people ask if im pregnant. Though not techinically under 12 months like you're asking
I fell pg 7mths after DD was born. Yep, I had a belly from about 6ish wks! DS1 pg was by far my easiest until about 28-ish wks, when my back and pelvis started playing up. UNntil then, everything was roses. His birth was a pretty good one too!
ETA, I had polyhydramniosis with DS1'S pg, so that would have made the difference in my size. His birth was also all natural, where DD's birth was induced which made all the difference too!

Definitely showed quicker the second time round although that may have been because I still hadn't lost all the baby weight. In fact 6 years down the track I still look pregnant after I eat a large meal so I'm kind of resigned to never having a flat tummy again.
Second pregnancy I noticed the fatigue more but that could have been because I was looking after a baby so I couldn't just nana nap whenever I felt like it.
It was kind of depressing wearing breastfeeding bras for 3 years. I had hot milk but they're still BF bras.
I was heaps more insane during the second pregnancy Hormones + (sleep - 1000) = Crazy Onyx!!
I got pregnant when my DS was 9 mths. I don't remember showing any earlier than with my 1st pregnancy, I had lost 10kg before getting pregnant and I walked 5km every day for the duration of my pregnancy so I didn't really gain much. I also felt more tired the 2nd time around, I think because I had a toddler who I was running around after and I couldn't just sit down and rest like I could during my 1st pregnancy. DS was very full on.
I didn't get any more stretch marks with the 2nd pregnancy either, which surprised me. TBH, my body coped pretty well. My mind however, was a different story lol
I found out I was preg when DS1 was 9 months old, my body copped fine I don't think I showed any earlier but I hadn't lost baby weight anyway (don't look at me now as lots to loose). I didn't get MS in either pregnancy, and I was tired allready from sleep deprivation from still getting up overnight to feed.
All in all I loved both pregnancys and both were pretty plain sailing and easy. I did have Pelvic instability badly with DS1, and started getting pain at 8 weeks with DS2 and was worried about it but in the end pelvic instability actully was probably better with DS2 than it was with DS1.
I found I was definitely showing a lot earlier - I was in mat clothe by 8-9 weeks! I had no idea how I was going to last the 12wks without telling anyone because my body was giving it away on me LOL! Overall the pg was very easy - no real morning sickness to speak of, tiredness didn't really seem to be an issue till the 3rd trimester and the birth was amazing! My easiest and best birth was my second one. Even with my third pg I was pg again within a year of my second babe being born and that pg was very easy too until the last few weeks when I had problems with my joints and I did end up with carpal tunnel.
I was pregnant again 6 months after DS1. I hadnt lost any weighr, in fact I'd gained weight and still looked pregnant anyway. I dont know if I showed earlier or just looked fatter. I felt DS2 so much earlier - at 11 weeks with definite kicks by 17 weeks. That may be because of the placenta though. It was anterior with DS1, posterior with DS2.
Early symptoms were similar but cravings were a bit different. The SPD came back quickly but wasn't as bad though maybe it might have got worse if I'd stayed pregnant longer.
I was pregnant with DD2 a smidge under 3 months after DD1 was born. I definitely showed VERY early (had only put on 5kgs with DD1 so it wasn't left overs!). I had morning sickness for 9 months so that was fun while dealing with a small baby. The biggest issue I had was that I had enormous pelvis pain and muscle issues because my body hadn't had enough time to recover after DD1.
I didn't have any issues as such throughout the pregnancy, although was extremely tired being pregnant and dealing with a little bub. TBH though her pregnancy was a walk in the park compared to this one so I'm not sure the closeness of 1 and 2 was the cause of any of those problems or if its just the way I am during pregnancy ITMS.
Her birth was easy peasy. Born 41+2 with an extremely quick birth. I was up within minutes and left hospital about 7 hours after she was born.
