Re: 2nd time moms, a question.

  • My cousin is pregnant with her second (technically third since she lost her second) and she is due three weeks after me, but she was showing just as much as I was at the beginning. It's only been over the last month or so that she's leveled out and I've gotten bigger than her. ;)

  • I didn't really show until 3 months a little bump with DS, but I think since it had been 10 years between babies my body was back like it was the first time.

    This one I have some serious bloat. Especially by end of day. It just makes me feel fat because obviously it can't be really showing.

    I had lost a lot of weight (down 30 lbs from my initial pre-pregnancy weight) due to BF'ing and having to give up all dairy for DS so my tummy was pretty flat with a little bit to pinch when I sat. Now it feels like I gained 8 lbs of flab over night.. sighhh

    Speak sweetly so that if you ever have to eat your words, they don't taste bad.

    Lesson learned!!

  • I think I definitely showed sooner with DS than with DD. With DD I didn't start wearing maternity pants until 19-20 weeks and with DS I started wearing them around 12 weeks or so. Could be I just realized this time around how much more comfortable they are so why keep trying to squeeze into real pants - haha.
