Bumps second (or more!) time round :)

[kristen77]

Hi ladies,

I am just over 8 weeks pregnant with my second child. Last time around I was in my normal jeans until 20 weeks. I know second time you're meant to get bigger quicker but I feel like it's starting already. I know that some of it is bloat as it does worsen as the day goes on, but my normal jeans are starting to feel tight first thing in the morning already... I got so sick of maternity clothes last time and that was only 20 weeks worth of wear!

So, my question is - how much sooner did your bump appear second time round? Is it possible that this is what I'm seeing or is it way too soon?!

Thank you

The first time someone commented on me being pregnant was 8.5 weeks with my 2nd! I didn't even know her she said to my son 'looks like you're going to be a big brother'. I was like WTF? I'm not that big. People at work started to really notice around 10/11 weeks. Now I'm huge! lol. So it happened a lot quicker. I've put on less weight so far, just a really big bump!

I am slim uk size 8/10 and was looked a bit pregnant from 24wks onwards with my first baby.

This time, 2nd baby, I still had no change in my tummy til past 16wks and it was at 20wks I would say I looked a bit pregnant.....so bump came 4 weeks earlier.

I did have a lot of bloat at the start and at just 16wks in the evening I looked about 7 months pregnant!

This is my second and I had to get some new clothes by 10wks because I was just not fitting in any of my clothes. Don't worry you are not alone! I feel like I'm huge already at 23wks, and I've already gone up a size in maternity clothes
