Well, showing at 3 months on the first pregnancy is early anyway, so I'd say you'll show at least by then for this pregnancy. Since your last pregnancy sadly ended so early, though, I don't think you'll show any earlier. Usually you show earlier in subsequent pregnancies because the previous pregnancies broke down your abdominal muscles. So it doesn't sound like this one should be any different. I'm sorry about your loss the first time around. Good Luck with this one and congratulations!

Usually with second and consecutive pregnancies you show a little earlier because your abdominal muscles are more lax and the uterus pushes out easier. Since the last pregnancy was not full term you may not show any earlier than expected because your muscles were not stretched all way way out. I am a quite a bit heavier this time around then I was with my first child and started showing very early on. With my first child I barely showed at all.

I've heard that you tend to show earlier during your second pregnancy, but I'm not sure since you miscarried during your last pregnancy. If you're a little chubby, then it may take a little longer to show. I was a tad bit overweight when I got pregnant and I just looked like I was gaining weight until I made it to 6 months! Good luck and congratulations on your pregnancy!!

I didn't show till about 4 or 5 months and have a small frame. Your body size and diet will effect when you show, sometimes the xtra food we eat with pregnancy will show up before the size of the fetus. Go to your regular checks with your doc and don't worry about showing early--it will come!! Remember showing early on is not really a factor of a healthy fetus. Try not to worry and keep a healthy lifestyle for that babe!

no. you more than likely will not show earlier. the reason this is more common with alot of women is because they get to 40 weeks. 40 weeks is huge and causes the tendons in there stomach to streach. If they are 40 weeks then have a baby, the tendons are loser and streatch easier next time. I wouldthink if you just barley started to show at 11 weeks then you won't show until about 14 weeks. good luck

I'm thinking that you'll have to treat this like it is your first pregnancy because the reason you show sooner the second time is because you were so stretched out in the first place.
Sorry, but since you didn't reach the third trimester, your uterus was not stretched to its limits and still has its elasticity. So, you won't show as early as you hoped.

I always thought it would depend on how close together the preg were. Like if your uterus didn't fully shrink back to pre-preg. size(which takes about 5 years) than you would show sooner. I'm sorry to hear about the mis. but since you didn't carry full term I would have to say you would probably show at about 3 months depending on your size of course. Larger framed woman show a bit later than smaller ones.

The general rule of thumb is around four to five months, that is when the baby begins to really form and grow. Therefore you will begin to show. However your OB should have a more accurate answer for you. My sympathies on your miscarriage hon, hopw you do better this time.

Depends on how well you hide it with chubbiness or how loose your stomach/abdominal wall is...my first one started to show at 4 and 1/2 months....the second one at 4 mos. and the third at 3....

Your stomach bulge will not show until 4 months. After that if you wear loose clothes you can conceal it for another month not more.
