Just curious, when did you start to show with your second or third pregnancy?

What can I do next?

Ugh - immediately - LOL! I could fit into most of my clothes up until 13 weeks with #2, but once I got a clear sonogram/heart beat, I told my co-workers who all breathed a sigh of relief - they thought I was either pregnant or just getting fat! That's when I realized, I probably had been showing the whole time and just didn't realize it- haha!

With #2 I started showing right away, like 2 months. With #3, I still looked pregnant since having #2! LOL! Just kidding, (sort of) but I started showing also very quickly. Your uterus is bigger, it is very common to show much earlier.

My second was a surprise however I was wearing a shirt one day and thought.....hhmm, somethings amiss - sure enough it was a pregnancy belly! After doing some figures it was about 6 weeks! Funny - with my first I hid it and hardly showed until 15-16 weeks but I couldn't wait at all with my daughter - had to tell my boss when I was around 2 months pregnant!!!

The day after I took the test - HA!

I did show sooner and everyone always remarked on "how big I was already". At least it felt like that!

All told, I gained 23 pounds and was back in my jeans in 4 mos pp, so don't worry - you'll get back even if it seems like you're bigger now.

With my first I was about 7 months before needing maternity clothes. With my second I was probably 5 months along before needing maternity clothes. I am now 8 weeks along with my third and I find myself unbuttoning my pants by the end of the day!!! I was 29 when I got pregnant with my first and I am 35 now. i am sure that has something to do with it in addition to it being my 3rd, but I am in pretty good shape and I think I am looking bloated by the end of the day which I never had with my first two.

Very quickly!!! That is normal. Third is supposed to be even faster than with the second, though I wouldn't know about that : ) I thought I was having twins with my second because I showed so quickly (I think at about 7 or 8 weeks). Totally normal : )

With my first I didn't show in earnest (or need maternity clothes) until I was almost 7 months pregnant, but ended up gaining 32 pounds overall. With my 2nd I started showing & needing maternity pants around 5 months & gained 29 pounds overall. Both times I had lost all of the baby weight within 2 months after delivering, due mostly I think to breastfeeding & youth!

Ugh. I am 11 weeks with baby #3, and starting about a week ago, I had to start wearing my shorts unbuttoned, with either a rubber band or one of those fabric maternity bands. I felt like I never STOPPED looking prego after either of my other two. After both deliveries, it took me forever to lose the weight, and I kept about 10 pounds from the first and still have them!

9-10 weeks. Then It sorta slowed down.. I've been the same size for the last month or so and I'm at 19 weeks.. When we got pregnant with #2 I was in pretty good shape so I'm guessing that's why.
