I was told to expect more rapid weight gain early-on during my second pregnancy. My OB told me I will probably hit my peak weight around 35 weeks and then maintain until 40.
BUT, I feel like I am HUGE already! I carried very small with my oldest and at 20 weeks I now look just as big as I did at 40 weeks with my first pregnancy!!
I haven't had my anatomy ultrasound yet (nine more days) and I keep having dreams about twins lol. I am sure I am just siking myself out. :)
Are there any other second time mommies who can relate??

I am a second time Mommy.I have been eating no more then I regularly do,and eating healthy.The pounds seem to be coming on much quicker then my first.I too thought that I was having twins.I had a ultrasound that ruled out that possibility.

This is my second time pregnancy and I really feel HUGEE!!!!!!! I'm just 3 weeks but my body now looks like as big as I did when I was on my 6th month with my first pregnancy! I don't eat a lot but I still keep gaining these extra baggages around my waist and hips!!! I try to do wallking everyday to keep my body fit, but I dont see the difference - I'm still expanding! And I have to wear size 12 now!! I was size 8 before I got pregnant!! But.... it's ok as long as the baby is healthy :-)

Yes its true you do get ALOT bigger I had 2 months left and people kept asking if I was ready to "pop" yet, all I could say was nope I still have 2 more months.... *sigh* I was huge I always had comments and people questioned if I was caring twins! What a way to make ya feel good huh? My first child I waited and waited I was So comfortable being pregnant but once my due date came I asked to be induced i couldn't take the pain and HUGE belly any more! I'll never be induced again though that was BAD!! Hope I helped ya out! ;-) Good luck & congrats!

nicely i'm a 4 time mommie, so i comprehend what you're dealing with. i grew to become into apprehensive approximately having my 2d one and my third one, by the fourth I wasn't relatively. you will have some attempting moments, yet you would be certain a habitual that works on your kiddos right this moment. make useful your older one is relatively in contact with the toddler. Make her your massive helper, she will bypass get diapers, sing to the toddler ect. i'm not sure how previous your toddler is yet while she remains youthful attempt to maintain that for the time of suggestions, they might seem so massive and grown up as quickly as you have a sparkling toddler and that they actually are not. submit to in suggestions that it somewhat is effective for the toddler to fuss for a 2d so as which you would be able to help your older one, so she would not experience like she is 2d ultimate, tremendously until she is used to the hot toddler being around. have relaxing and count selection your advantages even once you're waiting to pull your hair out lol. Congrats on the hot toddler!

I was so huge I felt like some alien creature. I hate all pictures of me pregnant, I don't look natural. I didn't have a bump, I had a boulder! They don't even grow watermelons that big!
And yet my weight gain was on the low side of normal and my baby was 8lbs. Go figure. It's just the way it sits.

i didn't gain any weight at all with my second until around 20 weeks. that's just because i gained way too much with my first child and i didn't go crazy with the second one. i did carry bigger with my second, just because i still had excess weight from my first child. every pregnancy is completely different. there is no way to know really.

I can't help with the weight gain part because I was so sick with all my pregnancies that I lost weight, but I was bigger faster with my 2nd and bigger yet with my 3rd. My doctor told me that after you have your 1st child, all those muscles in your abdomen "give out" faster with future pregnancies. Your body doesn't try to hold it all in anymore. Hope some of that was helpful.
