Looks about right for baby number 2. Don't let other people tell you what's good and bad. If the doctor is concerned they will tell you. If the doctor is not concerned, you shouldn't be either.

Well, looking at the pictures doesn't help. It's not how big you look, its what your fundal height is when you're lying down. As others have said, with each subsequent pregnancy you tend to lose a little abdominal muscle tone. The fact that there is a flap hanging down, tells me it's at least partly adipose tissue. But what matters is not how big you look but why. Could be fat or flab, could be polyhydramnios, could be large baby, could be something else entirely. The fundal height can tell you so much more than the pictures! Do you know your fundal height? It should grow one cm a wk.

I think it varies on your age (our body ages & gains more weight) and child to child. My sister was small with her first (girl), her second bigger (girl), and third was same as second (boy). Make sure it is not twins. I had a friend the doctor kept telling her it was not twins, guess what TWINS. But you look good. And tell others you are fine and you are beautiful when they say how big you are. She just may be a big girl. Congratulations.....

It looks fine to me. You do not seem to be too big. Its seems to be perfectly fine at least from the pictures you have there. Its your 2nd pregnancy anyway which makes your belly a bit bigger then for your first pregnancy.

The majority of women begin showing earlier if they've previously had a child so it's completely normal. Be proud of your belly- it's a baby growing!
By the way, congratulations!

yes i agree, you are fine, you probaby just think you are, because with first pregnancys you sometimes dont get big till the last few months, and with the second pregnancy you tend to get bigger sooner. Well good luck and congrats!!!!

You are fine. Women tend to show sooner with 2nd, 3rd, 4th pregnancies because their stomach muscles are stretched out.

Are you absolutely sure there's not another one hiding in there? What does the doctor say? Either there's another baby hiding, or she's going to be BIG!!!!
