With my first I didn't show until 7mo.

I looked up this question because I am about 7 weeks and I am showing. I feel silly because I fill like Im makin a thing of it but its true, I am showing. Im ok with it but I wanted to know if its normal ya know. This is my second child and people kept telling me I would show sooner but dang not this early ya know. Im happy I found this post, makes me feel alot better.

Mercedes I have what I call an "assume the position" body. It's not uncommon for women especially if they get pregnant soon after their first to show almost immediately. I am currently pregnant with our 3rd child.We tried not to announce I was expecting until 10 weeks and it was difficult for me because it was obvious and I looked like I was putting on weight even though I actually lost about 5 lbs.
I have a friend who like you got pregnant with her second around 4 months. She isn't overweight at all but at only 4 months in she looks to be full term. Another friend of mine looks full term at 10 weeks because she has had so many pregnancies and her body too "assumes the position."

It bugged me so much with my second baby that I just looked fat my mom encouraged me to buy a t-shirt she she saw a woman wearing that said "I'm not fat. I'm pregnant." That let me know other women felt/looked the same way I was feeling (I didn't get the shirt) but maybe it will help you to know are not alone in how you feel.

I had my son about 5months ago I think I was showing around 5or 6months I'm a little overweight anyways so its harder to tell, but I just found out I'm pregnant again.I've figured I'm probably about 7weeks pregnant now and I feel like I'm already showing, but I think its only because I haven't lost the weight from my previous pregnancy so all my fat is just being pushed out more :'( I just look like I'm gaining weight :(

With my first I was 5 months almost 6 months before I was showing a lot. This time around I swear I was 2 months pregnant. At 4 months I am showing a lot haven't gained weight barley anything all in my belly and breasts. My doctor told me when you are thin you show sooner even more then second time around.

i cant remember when with my first but this time i couldnt button my jeans at 6-7 weeks and am now 12 weeks and started wearing maternity clothes a week again. i cant believe how fast this round belly appeared yet my doctor tells me ives lost weight with all my morning sickness yet im noticably pregnant. and ive already had 2 ultrasounds so im right on my dates and theres only 1 baby in there :)

Have a little tummy barley noticeable just looks like I gained a bit of weight my think I will be showing a lot sooner this time. My first child I wasn't really showing till 5 months and the only reason why it was that noticeable was cause how skinny the rest of my body was. 15lbs heavier before I got pregnant this time and healthy. Right now I am 3 months and showing I have a noticeable little belly.

i had to wear looser clothing before i realized that i was really pregnant that was at about 6 weeks but I had a lil tummy at about 7-8 weeks with my 1st baby.

I didn't start showing with this baby until 5 months! I'm 6 months now and hardly anybody notices that I'm pregnant. It's a little depressing really...

Jennifer - posted on 06/12/2010

Brandy - posted on 06/10/2010

I started showing at 3 months with my second pregnancy

Lacey - posted on 06/10/2010

with my first i did not have even a small bump until i was 27 weeks. With this one I am 13 weeks and look about 5 months.. I think it is just me being chubby.. lol.. but heck I am a mom of two so I can use the same excuss all women use.. I am just preggers..lol

My first baby i started showing around 4 months, n weighed 192 the day he was born!! I got back to 125 pretty wuick but now i'm 9 weeks n already my belly is round! I like it though i think its so cute. I thought i'd never show w my 1st one! lol

Tara - posted on 06/03/2010

I had the constant bloated feeling by 8/10 weeks. I could tell I had a bump by 11 weeks, and now at 16 weeks I look as I did when I was 5 1/2 months with my first :-/ I've had the question of if its twins myself, scary thought.

Christina - posted on 05/27/2010

i still wasn't showing at 5 months with my first, but this time I started when I was like 12 weeks! It really worries me lol

Jennifer - posted on 05/25/2010

My first, I didn't show till about 5-6 months. Even at 7 months, I didn't look pregnant if I wore a baggy enough sweatshirt. I'm only about 8-9 weeks along with the 2nd and I swear I'm starting to show already. I never lost all my baby weight that I wanted to. . . :-(

Jemma - posted on 05/22/2010

hi, even with my 1st it was obvious i was preg from 12wks. i'm 16 with my 2nd and look very pregnant. but everybody is different

Cassandra - posted on 05/21/2010

5 months with my son and 5 months with this one! lol and i was looking forward to showing sooner. Darn

Nikki - posted on 05/21/2010

I didnt show until almost 5 months with my first, but I was showing by month 2 with my second.

Joelle - posted on 04/23/2010

I started showing about 10 min. after I peeded on the stick with the second one! ;)
No, about 8 weeks I had up start wearing looser clothing and started showing around 12 weeks.

Erin - posted on 04/22/2010

I started showing in form fitting clothing at 4.5 to 5 months the first time, and just very slightly sooner with this pregnancy. But I also started this pregnancy weighing about 8 lbs more than last time, so I don't think it had much to do with it being a second go.

Adrianna - posted on 04/19/2010

i started showing with my first around 5mths this time 3 1/2mths

Michele - posted on 04/15/2010

Well, with my 1st I showed at about 2 1/2 - 3 months...with this baby, I not only started showing at about 2 months...I could no longer wear my regular clothes at 2 months lol. I've lost about 15 lbs through my pregnancy & I'm 20 weeks now. So I did show a bit earlier this time around :)

Katie - posted on 04/15/2010

Well I never really lost all my weight from the previous pregnancy but i'm around 17 weeks and showing but its not all rounded out yet like it will be. My friend who had her second one not to long after my first one looked like she was having twins and farther along then I was even though I was two months ahead of her so it changes. I've been told you always start showing sooner with the second one.

Becky - posted on 04/10/2010

Mmmmmm, I think I started showing about 10 or 11 weeks, which means I just quit sucking my belly in....lol. I'm 21 weeks now, and the secretary at my daughters daycare told me last week she didn't even know I was pregnant. I could have kissed her!

Ashleigh - posted on 04/10/2010

With my son I was in maternity pants by 10 wks but not really showing until 4 months. Actually hid it at 4 months, LOL! But this time, my pants started not fitting right after about 6-8 wks and now at 15 weeks I look really chubby, its not quite round enough to be baby bump but definately can't wear my reg clothes!

Kristin - posted on 04/09/2010

I didn't start showing until about 6 months with any of them. It can vary so much on your body type, weight, and the strength of your abs.

Andrea - posted on 04/09/2010

I didn't show until almost 6 months with my first and with this one it was around the 4th month. But I am also heavier than I should be and that 20 extra pounds tends to hide the bump.

Liisa - posted on 04/09/2010

I'm 8.5 weeks and have a little bump. I'm really nervous it's twins!

Sarah - posted on 04/08/2010

i started showing with my second at about 12-13 weeks with a little bump. im now 16weeks and its very obvious :)
