Just wondering how early people showed with number 2 compared to no 1?
I am a pretty average build, about 73kg with a bit of a spare tyre! With my first my spare tyre just got bigger until about 24 weeks when all of a sudden I seemed to pop out and actually look pregnant! Wondering what everyone else's experiences are? ------------- Caroline, SAHM to 2 boys, S (4 years old) and J (2 years old)

| i was 65kgs prepregnancy with my 1st and i showed at about 18wks - 20wks. With this one i showed from about 8wks. Although i started off lighter prepregnancy with this one (59kgs) and i think becasue ive had mine so close together i hadnt really gotten my stomach muscles back in shape or anything. It was almost like my body went 'i remember this' and popped out |

I am 62 kgs (or was before I got pregnant don't know what I am now) and with Ella I started showing around 22 weeks, this time I was in maternity pants from 6 weeks and already have a small bump now. From what's I heard it's prefectly normal ------------- Mum to Ella (5) and Tom (2) |

I lasted in normal pants (size 10) until around 18 weeks first pregnancy - this time I was in maternity pants at 8 weeks (not a size 10 either!  )------------- Two little girls under 2!

Oh excellent....I feel better about sitting her in my comfy maternity yoga pants!!!
With number 1 I think I was in maternity wear around the 20 week mark...I'm not lasting that long this time! I can fit my normal jeans but the button is already pressing in all uncomfy like, my trackies are fine and I have another pair of jeans that fit thank goodness, but oh boy my maternity jeans feel good!!!!!  ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Wow... I'm finding my pants aren't doing up quite so well and looking at mat tops because I'm round - and have been unable to wear my normal tshirts for weeks! ...Then again, it's not so much an "Oh wow she's pregnant" bump as a "Oh wow so THAT'S who ate all the pies" bump. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I look about 26 weeks gone instead of 16! I hardly showed at this same time last time but am huge already. I think it's the short gap between and tummy muscles not having a chance to tighten up properly. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Thanks ladies  Quite looking forward to being able to buy some new clothes - being a SAHM there isn't a huge clothing budget so this is a great excuse!!!------------- Caroline, SAHM to 2 boys, S (4 years old) and J (2 years old)

i couldnt handle anything remotely tight around my tummy from about 8 weeks and had already started stocking up on mat clothes when i saw them on clearance at warehouse and kmart, so i thought, oh well i have them so may as well wear them........altho i didnt actually pop out til 18 weeks and was the same with my second.......cant remember as far back as my first 14 years ago....lol.........
but my fav maternity item now isnt actually maternity its boot leg trackies from glassons that have a roll waist that i roll over my bump.. |

I think I definitely showed earlier with number 2. I started definitely looking pregnant instead of chubby at 13-14 wks. Before that it just looked like extra belly fat.
With my first I started to show just before 5 months, maybe about 4 1/2 months. -------------
