Is it true that with your second pregnancy, you start to show sooner?

Question

I will be 8 weeks this week and it's weird because sometimes I feel pregnant and I think I'm kind of showing then other days I don't feel pregnant at all and my stomach is completely flat. Also is it to soon to be having those cramps in your legs? I forgot what they are called, but I had them with my daughter, but that was when I was almost due and huge, it's already happening this time. Any advice anyone????

Answer 1

That is what I was always told..I'm  excited to see..We have a four year old & our BFP yesterday just enjoying our second pregnancy..

Answer 2

Yes you tend to be more bloated with the second baby. So if you are having a "good day" your stomach is almost flat and if you are bloated and/or constipated you will have a big belly.

Answer 3

oh yes this can happen with your 2nd baby almost right away !!!! good Luck :-)

Answer 4

I definitely showed earlier with my second pregnancy. With my first, I didn't really look convincingly pregnant until about 20 weeks, but with my second I had a little bump at around 12 weeks. I'm 9 weeks pregnant with my third right now and I'm already having a hard time concealing it from work colleagues etc! I'm not so sure about the leg cramps, I had them with my first 2 pregnancies, but can't remember when I got them. Make sure you drink plenty of fluids as I think dehydration can make them worse.
