Ok, I've heard that you can start showing sooner with a second pregnacy, but I didn't really start popping out with the first one till about 5-6 months. I'm only 8 weeks and look about 5-6 months along! Anyone else experience that??

Thank you all! I am only 5'2 and had lost alot of weight between pregnancies. But yeah, it was like my pants didn't fit the day after I found out I was pregnant. Crazy!!

I had the same thing. I am now 5 months and it is slowing down. I still look more like 6 months tho.

With my second I was the same way. I got big pretty quick, but then by the end of my pregnancy, I hadn't gotten as big as I did the first time. With my third, I didn't even look pregnant till month 8. I guess every pregnancy is extremely different.

Every pregnancy is different but I'm going backwards to you guys. With my first I was showing soon, I hated that, didn't need maternity clothes but was definitely in my fact clothes my the end of the first trimester. With my second I didn't wear maternity clothes until the beginning of my 5th month and with my last one I was wearing my normal pants but maternity tops right until the end. I went home with that one in my normal clothes the same day from the hospital. I'm currently pregnant again, 6 months along and just starting to wear maternity clothes. I haven't gained all that much with each of them, what weight I did gain was gone quickly so I dunno, maybe I'm just weird. lol!

Like you i didn start showing with my first pregnancy until a was 5-6 months but when i fell pregnant with my second i showed almost straight away. i found i showed alot sooner but i wasn as big with my second pregnancy as my first. i think its because ur stomach muscles have to stretch alot dueing the first pregnancy but they aren as firm and strong with the second so u begin to show sooner. but it is normal.

I also started showing extremely early with my second pregancy! I am almost 100% sure that it is normal. Most my friends who have had more then one child have all said the samething. Same as Ashley Besser, I too have a height disadvantage, I am on 4'11, so all my weight popped right out in the belly. I delivered C-Section and still managed to lose all the weight!! *~*~Congratulations by the way!!!!!~*~*

I swear when I was pg with my second I started showing the day I found out (roughly 4 weeks)! Haha. I definitely showed much sooner and got bigger at first. However, with me I ended up balancing out and wasn't any bigger in the end than I was with DD (I had lost a lot of weight between pg though). I don't know about you but I also have a height disadvantage.. I am 5'1 so as soon as I gained any weight it popped right out in the belly. There's no where to go but out! :) Don't worry you're normal!!
