Showing sooner in second pregancy... does this mean I'll gain more weight also?

Question

I had a baby in Jan. of this year and have recently found out I am 12 weeks pregnant again. I gained 23 lbs. with the last one, but didn't start showing until very end and wore regular clothes to my c-section. I now feel that pregnant @ 12 weeks. I've heard the showing part is normal being this soon, but does it mean I will gain more weight??

Answer 1

Not necessarily. You usually will show sooner with consecutive pregnancies because your body has already been stretched out and will again easier. I am pregnant with my fourth and have gained less with this pregnancy than any other. Just remember to eat healthy!

Answer 2

No. At this same time with my first pregnancy (I'm 17 weeks today) I had gained 10 pounds, but this time I am showing sooner and have only gained about 5 pounds.

Answer 3

Its normal to show sooner in the second pregnancy, but it doesnt mean you'll gain more wieght. I only gained about 5 more pounds with my second pregnany than with my first, but I look enormous. I hardly showed with my first one and by the time I hit 6 months with my second people were asking me if I was carrying twins.
I have girlfriends who were luckier than me- one only gained half the weight she did with her first (she still showed early) and another who only gained 15 lbs with the second, while she had gained 65 lbs with the first! every pregnancy is different.

Answer 4

certain that is general, you'll teach faster with a second being pregnant because the uterus has been stretched earlier. basically with second pregnancies because the body has already finished all of it earlier, it comes alot extra organic and that's alot less difficult for the body to enhance and it also occurs alot swifter eg: (your breasts turning out to be more advantageous alot swifter than the first time and uterus increasing swifter) And that's likewise general to adventure extra weight earnings with a second being pregnant. that is all general! Congrats on your being pregnant!

Answer 5

I sure did.... My first I gained 24 Lbs total.... My second, I gained 69, and was I hungry all the time.... I sure had fun with food but not when I had to lose it !!! Thank god my second was a boy because he turned out to be 10 lbs, and I'm a small person....boy did that hurt ... and boy did I have trouble losing it... it took me 3 yrs.... so try to just eat right and don't have fun with food like I did........ Good luck.....

Answer 6

Not necessarily, it's normal to show sooner with the 2nd pregnancy. On the other hand, 2nd children are frequently bigger than 1st, so you could gain more for that reason.

Answer 7

It's typical to get bigger a lot faster after you've already been pregnant. Your skin has less work to do in the streching department than it did during your first pregnancy. It's already primed, so it stretches bigger, faster with subsequent pregnancies. It doesn't mean you'll gain more weight, it just means you've already been pregnant.

Answer 8

I just means that your tummy muscles aren't in as good of shape as before and you tummy may POP out of your pelvis earlier. You gain as much weight as the cravings you give into. Don't over eat because you are pregnant.

Answer 9

not really u may u have more of a chance of gaining more weight, but if you eat healthy food ect then u won't gain alot of weight, and remeber that being ur second pregnancy everything is generally eariler this round, u show eariler, you feel movement eariler, hiccups, braxton hick, everything because u know the feeling of them and u dont miss them good luck wit ur bubbas and congrats darl

Answer 10

I gained less weight with my second pregnancy...probably because I had a baby to chase around (my older son) while I was pregnant with his brother! :)
