Second time Moms

I am 5 weeks pregnant with my second child. I was wondering when other second time Moms started showing and when did you feel the baby move?

Congrats on Baby #2.  I started showing around week 10-15.  I felt the first real movements (not just butterflies) around week 17.  It is different for everyone.  I hope you have a smooth healthy pregnancy and delivery!

You will see its different for everyone. For me, since I was about 20 lbs lighter this time around than I was with my 2nd, I felt flutters or bubbles around 11 weeks, but actual movements around 15-16 weeks. I started showing with the baby bloat around 10 weeks, but baby bump showing around 12-13. It seems like the moment I started showing, I went straight from a tiny little pooch to a full on HUGE baby bump around 20 weeks lol. I have people asking me now (I'm about 6 months preg) if I'm due soon! lol.

I can't wait to feel those flutters. I to am also lighter now then with my first. Breast feeding really is the best diet ever! I hear usually babies get bigger each pregnancy. My first was 2 weeks early and 9 and 1/2 pounds.

I started showing around 11/12 weeks and feel huge now at 17 weeks. I started feeling LO around 16 weeks whereas I didn't feel my first until 22 weeks.

Congrats!  I started showing by 12 weeks.  @ 21 weeks I feel big. I carried DS high the whole time and I am high now.  Belly starts under my boobs.  I felt butterflies around 16 weeks but now I don't feel anything.  Baby measured right on track at 20 week ultrasound so just waiting to feel the little one move!

First off, congrats! And secondly, each pregnancy and each woman is different but I will be happy to tell you my experiences.

With DS (my first pregnancy) I started showing around 15 weeks, but I didn't feel him move until about 18 weeks. This time around with my second it's all happening faster. I started showing about 11 weeks, that's when my friends started commenting. And I felt the first tiny little flutters at about 12 weeks.

HTH!

I think with my first I started REALLY showing around 20 weeks...

 With this one I havent gained a pound but the "bloat" came around week 10 or so.  I started feeling the flutters today, so right at week 12.

I started showing at about 15 weeks noticeably to me but now I'm 18 weeks and others might be able to tell if I was wearing a tight fitting shirt. Last time around I didn't show until 20+ weeks so this time is quite a bit different. Last time I felt the first movement at 16 weeks (I believe) and this time I felt the first movement at 15 weeks and consistent movement at 16 weeks.
