2nd pg - when did you start showing?

I swear I forgot everything about being pg...esp. when/how much I gained weight, etc.  I remember with DS buying maternity clothes around 4 mos...

I'm about 9 weeks now and today I had to bust out the belly band  =(  I'm not happy about it.  I've been eating a lot of bread, crackers & pasta b/c that's what calms my m/s..  Last night at 10pm I thought I was going to puke, so I had to eat some crackers = weight gain.  I'm freaking out b/c if it's starting this early now I'm worried I'll be gaining too much too quickly!

But - I've heard with your 2nd it can be much quicker - so how was it for you ladies that are on #2 or later??

For your second, third, etc. pregnancies you can balloon and show quicker just because your body is familiar with the process. I have gained approx. 4 pounds since 2 mos ago when I had my LMC and while it's a lot, I don't feel too worried about it, this is my third and since I breast feed, the weight has a tendancy to fall off, not to mention chasing the other 2 kids I already have around will help to burn it off as well. Best of luck.

With our first, I didn't show until around 18 weeks. With this one, I feel like I started to show around 8 weeks! I'm only 11 weeks and I feel HUGE!

Married my BEST FRIEND on December 1, 2007. Started TTC in March 2008. Found out we were expecting our first child in October 2008 - but had a m/c in December 2008 - resulting in a d&e. Met with a RE in May 2009 and set a plan - but conceived unexpectedly on our own! Our precious little Sophia was born on February 9, 2010! Lilypie Third Birthday tickers

LOL! I have forgotten alot myself since it seems like its been so long (3 yrs) but I do remember being in maternity clothes at 3 months then! My Mom has a pic of me at 3 months and I look like Im about 5 months.  Right now, Im 6 weeks and not showing...I got married in August and had started a diet/exercise program and lost 50 pounds, then found out I was pregnant! Im going to do things differently this time around though! I gained the majority of my weight in my 3rd tri and it was alot of me thinking, Im eating for 2 and just ate anything and everything I wanted..fast food was my downfall..This time I want to gain only 25 instead of the 80 I gained with my first!

I hear what you're going through.  I'm 10 weeks in to my second pregnancy and I felt the exact same way a couple weeks ago.  Luckily for me, it was just horrible bloat and its gone now -- thank god -- I was so upset when i went to uy new jeans in a size larger, -- and they didn't fit. - I refused to go up 2 sizes! 

I'm doing better now, my clothes are fitting about the way they had been.  Hang in there -- Hope your MS lets up soon!

I'm 12 weeks this week and I look the same way I did when I was 20-24 weeks with my first pregnancy- Yikes! 

 

I also feel like I'm eating so much more junk this time around... so I'm feeling like a blimp!

I started showing enough for others to see near the third trimester. I could tell earlier and had to leave a button undone by the afternoon in the second trimester.

I'm only 5 weeks and I'm already thinking about getting my maternity pants out :( I didn't start showing with my first until I was 6 months, now I'm showing already...hoping its just me being bloated! Or who knows...maybe it's twins :)

Oh good!  I'm glad I'm not the only one!  I'm 10 weeks and I feel huge.  I can still fit into my clothes but I just look bloated and everything's getting snug.  This is my second baby and I was wondering what was wrong with me!

I'm started getting really bloated at 8 weeks and kept looking like it till now and I'm 12 weeks. Bloat comes and goes but I've got a small bump. If you know I'm pregnant then you can tell its a baby bump but if not I just look like I'm getting a little chunky around the middle. My first pregnancy I didn't have any bloat and didn't show until 18 weeks.

I started showing around 16 weeks with my first...I am 12 1/2 weeks and I'm starting to show a little.  It is exciting and scary all at the same time- I feel hungry ALL the time...hopefully there is just ONE in there :)
