On anyones 2nd pregnacy did you seem to show faster?

Question

I'm only 13 weeks and can already see the baby belly

Answer 1

no, i didn't show until the third trimester for both of my pregnancies, my second was a little later before i showed and it was a girl, i was bigger with my first, which was a boy

Answer 2

I don't know that it is the 2nd itself that is making it so you show faster. I know that woman won't always carry the same way as they did the last.
You may be carrying higher or lower so you are showing sooner. OR you weigh less than you did with the first and so you are showing sooner.
Since all your muscles have been through this before (all the tearing and stretching and fun stuff) that you will show faster because your body is well prepared to grow this new little person.
I have my second and no one even knew I was pregnant till the end because I was carrying him so much higher than my first.
Congratulations on your pregnancy and good luck

Answer 3

That is very common and you have had some good answers here.
On my 2nd pregnancy I found out i was 16 weeks pregnant going in for a normal check up. I started to show at 22 weeks. But i had been exercising alot before i got pregnant or had known.

On my 3rd i showed at 11 weeks. I had not exercised. I did not have time with 2 kids lol. I thought t was enough chasing them.

Answer 4

I did not show earlier or as much with my second pregnancy because I had "morning sickness" the entire pregnancy. However, with my 3rd pregnancy, I barely found out I was for sure pregnant when my pants started to get tight. This was way before the day of routine ultrasounds and my doctor thought for several visits that I may be having twins because I got so big so quickly. This was also way before pregnancy gestation was commonly referred to in weeks, but was measured in months. I wasn't even 2 months along when I had to break out the maternity clothes. Turned out to be just one, however.

Answer 5

Actually with this pregnancy I didnt start to show untill I was closer to 17 weeks, and with my daughter "1st pregnancy" I was showing about 10 weeks.. Every pregnancy is different, but generally they say with a 2nd pregnancy you start to show faster. So yes you could very well be starting to show. Congratulations and Best of Luck..

Answer 6

I have two children and 5 weeks pregnant.
My 2nd time around I was actually smaller then the first, and my second son was bigger then my first son.. so dont let people tell you its cause your baby is bigger.. This time around. This time like I said I am 5 weeks.. I look four months!!!!
Every pregnancy is different.. alot of times you do get bigger faster.. only cause your body already knows the pregnany state.. and your muscles are already strecthed.
Congrads!!

Answer 7

I am apparently the oddball here. I showed about 5 months with my first (boy). With my second I started finally really showing about 7 months or so (girl). With this one, I started showing about 12 weeks or so. Now I am visibly pregnancy at 18 weeks. So hopefully going by my personal pattern, I am pregnant with a boy again. LOL.

Answer 8

Me, me, me!!!!! I was starting to wander if there's more than one in there. I started showing around 4 months last time. Right now, I'll be 10 weeks on Wednesday and can already tell. I'm already wearing maternity pants (today, for the 1st time).

Answer 9

Darlin I was 22 when I had my first and didnt show til 20 weeks. With my second I was almost 35 and I showed in the first month!

Answer 10

I definitely did show faster.I blew up.My first time i had a boy and the second time i had a girl.So Who knows maybe you will have a girl.They say that when you have a girl you show faster but i don't know.Just try to eat healthy and not eat to much fast food and junk food.
