Showing earlier with second?

[DeeDeeAbi]

Hi ladies... Currently 5+5 with baby 2 and I have read about women showing much sooner with their second and wondered if anyone here had too? I swear to god I've bulged out overnight- I know some is bloat but it's not as painful as it usually is! Had to undo jeans button yesterday too :/ Wondered if it was actually all in my imagination, or maybe I'm just putting on weight ha!

I showed maybe a bit earlier perhaps a month or so but in the early stages like until 15w it was most deffo bloat. Alot of fluid and hormonal changes around this time.

My bloat left me and then as my uterus started to firm up and rise then I started properly showing.

People do have a bump alot sooner with second because the uterus usually is at belly button around 20w with a first but it moves alot quicker second time around and we show sooner.

I find the bloat looks bumpish esp second time around because our belly has been in that shape before - I know any time I'm major bloated I look pregnant

I showed a lot sooner 2nd time and super early 3rd time. Its not like the baby itself shows that early but I do think that the hormones make your body change shape. For me I think that my muscles and ligaments relaxed much quicker the second time around because they had already been stretched out. If it was just bloat I dont think it would have been so much earlier the second time.

I had a neat bump the first time but was wearing maternity leggings and jeans for comfort by 7 weeks in this pregnancy - I'm now 35+1 and measuring above the scale so for me I showed earlier and am much bigger the second time x

I definitely showed earlier with my second by 8 weeks I had a bump and when the mw felt my uterus it was in the position it would normally be 4 weeks later. But bare in mind this would have been my 6th pregnancy (2nd child) my body just went "I know what to do! " lol I'm now measuring bang on for my dates but i look huge lol. I also had crazy levels of hormones in my body that gave me hg and had doctors suspecting twins at one point.

I'm definitely showing earlier! Am 14 weeks and I've already had a couple of comments about my bump! I imagine its just bloat, but certainly looks like a pregnant belly!

Yup I'm pregnant with my 3rd and it's defiantly too soon but the bumps already here. I know it's mostly this and bloat but it's hard to press too not just soft like fat.
I was huge with my second so I think that doesn't help lol. Xx

With my first I had a bump at 15-16 weeks. With my second baby (fifth pregnancy) I had a bump at around 13-14 weeks.

Cheers girls! Was thinking I was starting to pack on the weight so soon!
I think I need to stick to baggy jumpers and leggings for a bit until a proper bump starts, I don't want anyone to start speculating this time round.
I'm sooooo bloody hungry though, like I need to eat on the hour, every hour! Didn't have this with my first I don't think. Need to get some healthy snack inspo, only so many tangerines I can deal with haha! Xxx

PS, isn't it crazy how fast it all goes second time round? My friend is 12 weeks and has a firm bump already!
