Second or more time moms - how early did you show?

[gretchenindisguise]

I didn't really show with #1 until about 20 weeks.

I feel like I'm already starting to show and it's not just the horrific bloat I had earlier. But I'm only 8 weeks and that seems insane.

So when did you start to show with each of your pregnancies?

I feel like last time I was 5 months+ when I really started to show. I'm 10 weeks and the bloating is incredible. I look like I'm much further along. It's really hard to hid.

As soon as I POAS.

I actually almost tagged you in this. I feel like I'm pulling a papie!

I felt huge and bloated by 8 weeks.
By 14 weeks, I started getting quizzical looks at my belly.

I didn't start to show with DD 1 until 20 weeks. I'm 20 weeks now with DD 2 & it is clear as day that I'm pg.

I feel like I'm starting to show a little now (and I didn't look really pregnant until I was around 23-24 weeks last time). I'm already doing the hair tie around the button on my pants and am entertaining the idea of maternity pants

I am fully in maternity clothes. I have been from 10 weeks, but I am fat so I won't show for a while. I can see a difference, but most people won't.

I'm 13 weeks and I think I have a belly, but it's still a toss up between baby and fat haha. I think in a few weeks it will be more round and noticeable. Much earlier this time around.

16 ish weeks the first time and now my bloat is so out of control you'd think I was that far along already. Nope. 5 weeks. 5 freaking weeks.

My H says I'm crazy but I feel the difference in my pants. I really hope this bloat goes away soon. I'll never be able to make it out of the first tri keeping this secret.

I am bigger. But just look fat at the moment. Like I gained all the weight back that I took off last year. I am sure people are judging me. DGAF

So I looked pregnant when I wasn't because of the 'leftovers' from DD... ok, let's face it, when the kid is 3 it's no longer leftovers ... I definitely look pregnant now, but I'm not sure if it's mostly fat or some baby... I'm about 10wks.

[flgirl]

With my first I didn't really show until 20ish weeks. This being the 4th, I "showed" the day of my BFP. It was all bloat but didn't leave. I still look the same at 24 weeks it is just not water weight now, it is baby.

Samesies.

[statlerwaldorf]

With my first I started showing around 15 weeks. This time I couldn't button my pants by 8 weeks and started getting a noticeable bump around 12 weeks.

[amy726]

With my first I didn't really look pregnant until 25ish weeks. I was big to begin with so I just looked fat for a while. I guess I still looked fat at the end to those who didn't know I was pregnant because my neighbor (who I saw regularly) stopped by one day and said she didn't realize I was pregnant until a few days before. I gave birth that night (37 weeks). With this one I am still big, but I lost a lot of weight last year so I'm starting out smaller than I was last time. I've taken a few sets of belly pics already and I can see a difference but to everyone else I just look fat. I'm 15 weeks.

[teeah22]

7 weeks with this one.

After saying this yesterday see my HDBD pic I posted today. I change my answer.

[ringstrue]

uh - I was too bloated for my normal pants by 5 weeks, and into my PP pants from my first pg. Then I out grew those and was into mat. pants by 10 weeks - I should have started at more like 9 weeks though. I was so happy to tell my work right at 12 weeks! One lady guessed a few days early despite my new weird love for the baggiest clothing in the world .
