When did you start showing for baby #2?

Question

I am 9 weeks pregnant, and feel like I am starting to show a little, I'm probably the only one to notice it at this point. I've heard you show sooner after your first baby. I gave birth to my stillborn son in May at 25 weeks... I didn't carry full term so I don't know if the "showing earlier" will apply to me. This is technically my 2nd pregnancy. Will I show sooner?

Answer

I thought I wasn’t showing until I took a pic :/ 
I bought clothes two sizes bigger at 8 weeks.  
I’m now 11 weeks 2 days and thinking I may need to invest in maternity pieces.  My scan isn’t until 29 Jan & I’m finding it so hard to hide it from work and I’m so tired too.  
I’m also thinking of buying a maternity bra as my boobs are so sore and I only have three bras I can fit but are tight.  Aghhh!

Answer

This is technically my 3rd pregnancy, with 2 previous miscarriages- I’m weeks and 1 day and showing hard. Most of my pants at this point I’m using hair ties to keep fastened and having a hard time wearing my normal clothes mostly due to boobs but also Bc they cause me to show and I haven’t told everyone yet. I’m a little worried I won’t make it to 12 weeks without my students or coworkers finding out.

Answer

I’m definitely not showing any sooner with my 2nd. Possibly later unless it suddenly pops. 
I was so uncomfy in my clothes after like 8 wks with baby 1. But this time at 11 wks and still comfy.  I haven’t had much bloat this time though

Answer

I’m sorry for your loss. I would say it’s very likely you’re showing sooner, the second time around your body knows the drill and your uterus expands faster, especially since your last pregnancy was fairly recent. That was definitely true in my case, I’m 11+2 and my uterus is about an 1 1/2” below my belly button, baby #2.

Answer

With my second i started showing around 16 weeks. It’s gotten slightly sooner with each pregnancy. I’m 10+3 with baby seven and showing already!

Answer

I also had a stillbirth in May at 28 weeks. I feel like I’m showing earlier with this pregnancy too and just 11 weeks. Side note... pregnancy after loss is tough isn’t it!?

Answer

This is my bump, I didn't start showing at all last time until probably 16-20 weeks or so.
