When did you start showing with second?

Question

I just (as in this morning, so excited!!!) found out I am expecting number 2. I do not want to tell my employer for a while, at least another month I am hoping. I would like to know when others started showing with number 2. I remember getting that 'is she fat or is she pregnant' look at about 13 weeks with my first. But I know most people start showing sooner with second pregnancies. When did you start showing for your second??

Answer 1

I think it all depends.  A girl at my step daughters daycare is expecting number 2 and she started showing at about 8 weeks... another girl I know, didn't start showing until about 20 weeks with her second child.

Answer 2

With my first i didn't start showing until about 5 months but with the second i started showing at 2 months! If you want to wait a little while to tell your employer then wait because it's illegal for them to ask you anyways!

Answer 3

i started showing at around 3 months with my second child, and only one month with my third! i loved being able to actually see that there was a baby in me!

edit-why do we all get thumbs down for our answers? we are simply stating when we started to show.

Answer 4

I started showing around 12-15 weeks with my 1st and around 8-10 weeks with my 2nd.  

Answer 5

I started showing at 15 weeks with my second (which was last week). I am 16 weeks now and my regular clothes are no longer comfortable.

Wow... I just love the thumbs down for your own personal experience.

Answer 6

RIGHT away.

I mean, I knew I was pregnant before I even tested.  It was, of course, bloating and swelling and such.  But, my pants were too tight within just a few days!

Answer 7

I actually didn't really start showing until about the same time as I did with my first one. I am now 21 weeks and just starting to look pregnant. I also didn't give in to maternity clothes for a while. I think they make you look more pregnant than you are. I think I am carrying this baby in my back more, so that is part of the reason I don't look more pregnant.
