2nd baby and showing

Trying not to get too excited so far....but things have been going well up until now and I will be 7 weeks tomorrow. Those of you who are pregnant with your second, or who have had two babies...do you start to show earlier with the second? Can I expect to look pregnant before I start telling people, God willing, at 12-14 weeks??

Re: 2nd baby and showing

Most likely you will start to show sooner, but everyone is different. Everyone I know of that is on their second child did show earlier, including myself. I was showing as early as 12 weeks, but not noticeable to other people really. At 16, it was noticeable.

Re: 2nd baby and showing

I was in maternity pants by 12 weeks with Jeremy. I was in them at 5 months with Emma... yes, you show much earlier

Re: 2nd baby and showing

stupid question-does it count if your first PG was a m/c?

I was PG for 10 weeks about and didn't show, but this PG as you can see I'm showing at 12 weeks and now wearing maternity shorts.

I dont think it counts, the reason you show earlier with subsequent pregnancies is your stomach muscles are stretched out and dont 'hold in' the baby like they did with #1.
