How soon did you start to show with baby #2?

Question

Is it possible to start feeling and actually noticing a change in your abdomen area when you're pregnant with your 2nd child? We are desperately trying for baby #2 and it has only been a little over 1 week since we had intercourse, but I swear my stomach is already feeling bloated and larger than normal. I've heard that women in the 1st and 2nd month of pregnancy after already having a child show much earlier.

Answer 1

It depends on how your weight is. and how your body is proportioned. Like with bigger women they dont show as much or as soon cause the baby already has more room to grow as where skinnier/smaller women start showing a lot sooner cause there isn't much room for the baby.

Like with me. 1st kid. I started showing at 3 months, by the end you'd think that my sons feet were at my stomach and his head was at my spine and he was stretched out as much as he could. he was 21 inches at birth.

Then my 2nd kid. I didn't start showing til 6 and a half months. Even then I didn't get as big. But I knew about a week after intercourse. Like your feeling now. My fiance's mom three out of the four kids she had she knew the next day she was.

Answer 2

for my 2nd child i started showing really well at 3 months.. you show earlier because your uterus and abs have already been stretched and are more relaxed... im currenty pregnant with baby #3 and at 2 months i had a bump

Answer 3

with your second child you start showing immediately. All of your muscles are now stretched out and you start to show much earlier.  

Answer 4

My daughter is 5 in 2 months so it's been a while, but I remember really starting show around 4 months.

I'm currently trying for #3, and like you, I am feeling bloated also.

Baby Dust to you and me both. I'll find out in about 1 1/2 weeks.

Answer 5

for me #2 was almost instant, by 8 weeks anyway.

Answer 6

I'm feeling the same and I have two other kids and I'm not sure if it is because I am really small but I'm with you. It could have been constipation or something else but I noticed with my second child within 3 weeks. Thats the only reason I even took a test and now I am 3 days away from Af and I swear I have a larger belly...even the hubby noticed but then again I just might be extra bloated due to AF coming...but lets hope not:)

Answer 7

I have heard that you show earlier with your second but that is not the case with me, I still feel tiny for being 6 almost 7 months along compared to when I was pregnant with my first. I guess I started showing around 4 month or so. It varies person to person. Good luck to you!
