This is my second pregnancy. I have always been quite slender for my height, I am 1'78, or 5.10. My normal weight before the pregnancy was about 65kg, now I am up to 71kg. I am just wondering if any more of you showed so early? Or could it be that there is something wrong with me? Up til now, the doctor has said everything looks normal.I just don't like it when someone is shocked that I look more like 5 or 6 months when I haven't even got to my third month. I hope someone has good answers.

Don't worry about it. It is totally normal to look pregnant at an earlier stage, in your second pregnancy and onwards. The uterus stretches out much more quickly, since it's "been there and done that".
Those shocked people should shut their mouths. People sometimes forget what a pregnant woman is supposed to look like, or they simply don't know.
Since you were slender to begin with, it is possible that your belly is more visible and surprising to people than it would otherwise have been.
Anyway, enjoy your pregnant self, and remember that a growing belly is a growing baby :-)

Yes it is normal!! I felt the same way for my second and third pregnancies. I showed so much sooner than my first. I am fairly tall and not overweight so I was quite worried and disheartened both times when i showed so quickly. Even wondered if i was going to have twins!!!
Dont worry. You just have to learn to accept that your body is the shape it is and dont compare at all. I know it is difficult though. I am five weeks post natal now and my tummy is every day getting back to normal!
Best wishes

I am slender also. When I was pg with both my daughters, I showed at 3 months, Its because we are slender that it shows so soon. If your doc says everything is normal, then don't worry so much. That is also part of being pg. Worrying!!! So, just relax and enjoy this 2nd one. Every pregnacy is different. So just enjoy it while it last, ok?
By the way, congrats on the little one.

I've had friends who have put on up to 30kg with some (not all) of their pregnancies. They have no logical explanation for this & have usually lost most of the weight post baby. All pregnancies are different. With my third child i was showing & out of my normal clothes by nine weeks. Somebody told me & please don't take offence "you have a floppy uterus that falls out". It's been stretched by the other children. I don't know how true this is though. Enjoy your pregnancy....

i am exactly the same. same hight and weight and i have found that none of my clothes fit already ( almost 8 weeks) i dont look pregnant yet but the only place i have put weight on is my tummy just below my belly button. i dont think there is anything wrong with you. i am hoping this is normal also.

since this is your second pregnancy you should be showing earlier, and especially if your slender...I never could convert kilos to pounds, but skinny ladies show earlier.
This is totally normal!

Every pregnancy if different. And because it is your second pregnancy, the theory is that because all those muscles are already stretched , you will show sooner. Can you contact me so I can see you on cam, and I will let you know if it looks cool or if it is unusual. See below:

This being your second child, you're bound to show earlier. Everyone is different. My mom said she was in maternity clothes at 3 months with me, and I'm her only child.

Not abnormal. I was in maternity clothes in my third month with all three of my children.
