When did you start "showing"....

[antkim]

As you all know I found out a few weeks agao that I'm pregnant with #2!!!!I'm about 6/7 weeks along and yesterday out of nowhere I got a belly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was shocked!I stepped on the scale thinking I must have gained 5 pounds and I lost 2!With DS I didn't have any belly until about 5 months so I was quite surprised by my new "look"!LOL I'm one of those people that if I gain weight it goes to my thighs and butt NEVER my stomach.Actually,I'm quite excited about this.Just wondering if this is common in second pregnancies.My DH is joking that it's twins.Wouldn't that be a BIG unlikely surprise!

I started showing around 4 months with all 4 of my boys.

Absolutely, most people show earlier in second and subsequent pregnancies. I think it has to do with your abdoman muscles not being as tight.

With my dd, I was showing at 4 weeks. With my ds, I still had some of the baby weight from my dd, so I was about 6 months before people could tell I had another bun in the oven.

Right away on my second...and it was my face that starts "showing". It totally puffs out immediately and my butt goes completely flat.
My belly started showing after 3mons.

Congrats!!!

Thanks guys!
I can't believe how big I am already!!!Hope this isn't an indication of how big I will get!LOL
Of course this has me curious about the twin thing!Anyone have twins without fertility drugs or without it being in the family?I just read that woman 35 and older are more likely to have twins.I'm 35!I know I won't have twins it's just fun to toy with the idea!!!
Something to do during a blizzard!

I've been "showing" ever since I was two months pregnant with my son - who will be 17 in a month.

DS #1 6/7 months.........(nobody believed I was pregnant}

DS # 2 4/5 months

No.1 son had little or no fluid & was a bigger baby that DS no. 2.

But No.2 had LOTS of fluid & so I was bigger as a result

With DD #1, I didn't show really until almost my 7th month...and in fact really never got "big". I remember going to the hospital when my water broke and the nurses at the desk were going nuts...asking how far along I was.......I was 2 days past my due date!!! She called everyone to come look at me....They couldn't believe it...they said I only looked about 5 months to them and they were nervous about my water breaking...(BTW, DD was 9.2 lbs!!)

With DD#2, I should much quicker but, then again, never got that big. With each, I gained about 25lbs.

I started to show around 14 weeks, and it was my first. I did end up being absolutely enormous. They say you're supposed to buy your regular size in maternity clothes, but I'm a small and had to buy larges. I gained 40 pounds all in all. But Jacob is 6 weeks old now, and I only have about 6 more pounds to lose. I got into my regular jeans today.

A little over 4 months I guess. I remember at 16 weeks when I laid on my stomach I felt a little ball in my stomach. Neat!
