showing with second pregnancy?

[Anonymous]

When did people show in their second pregnancy? Everyone is telling me how "fast" you show the 2nd time so I have been expecting to look huge fast. I had my son 13 months ago and I am 13 weeks. I can see a little pouch when I am naked but I don't think anyone can tell with my clothes on. Last time, I think I looked visibly pregnant around 20 weeks and then just started to look really pregnant over the next 10 weeks (I am short waisted so baby has no where to go but out). Just wondering what others experienced?

I had a similar experience (although my children are several years apart in age, which may have something to do with it. ) I "popped" right away, but then the showing slowed down.

I am pregnant w/ #2 (23 weeks) and I just popped out. People still can't tell I'm pregnant. Probably just looks like I gained a large beer belly. I was actually surprised that I haven't showed earlier.

I think I started showing as soon as the little "+" sign appeared on the stick! But pregnant with twins this time so harder to hide.

I'm 28 weeks with my second and expected also to pop out much more quickly than with #1. In reality this baby popped out later than with #1 but oh has she made up for it! I didn't have to wear maternity clothes until 6 months this time (4 1/2 months last time) but now, one month later, I'm looking like I'm close to delivery (and I still have 2 1/2 to go, God help me!). I'm not sure if it's the fact that I'm having a girl this time (boy last time) or if those 5 boxes of Girl Scout cookies, Valentine's Day chocolates, and easter egg jelly beans are just catching up with me!

I popped out by 10 weeks with #2 and 3 but I was also visibly showing by 14 weeks with #1. I'm just one of those people that gets huge and looks pregnant for a loooooong time!

Oh I hate to say it, but I'm so jealous! I showed late with #1 (never bought maternity clothes just LOVED elastic waist bands - probably showed around 20 weeks). This time, I looked 6 months pregnant at 16 weeks. The good news is that it has slowed down - I still look the same at 19 as I did at 16. My 2 will be 2.5 years apart.

My friend got pregnant when #1 was 9 months. So she showed around 10 weeks already quite a bit.

#1 and #2 are 22 months apart. For #1 I did not share with work OR wear maternity clothes until I was more than 6 months pregnant. For #2 - I was 4 months pregnant when my clothes were really hitting the limits. I started pregnancy #2 only 3 pounds heavier than I started w/my first.
