Moms View Message Board: General Discussion Archive: Archive November 2005: Showing faster?
I've always heard that a lot of women show faster with subsequent pregnancies because everything's already stretched out and there's not the same amount of muscle tone that was there before having kids. Boy, I never thought it would happen with me. With Kaitlyn I didn't show until I was 5 months along and even then it was barely a bump. Now, i'm almost 2 months along and I look like I did at 5 months! I'm wearing all loose fitting clothes because none of my jeans fit. This is all so strange. Oh and everyone is guessing i'm having a boy since everything seems to be so different this time around. We'll see if their right come January.
I was in maternity clothes at around 8 or 9 weeks with #1. With #2, I had a bump by 6 weeks, but it remained just a bump for another 8-10 weeks because I was so sick, I lost 12 lbs.
Yes, I showed faster with my 2nd ds. I didn't even gain any weight until I was almost 4 months pregnant because I was so sick. But, I still couldn't fit into my regular clothes. I hate to burst your bubble, but my 2nd pregnancy was completely different then my 1st and I have 2 boys.
I wore my regular clothes with Katelyn until I was nearly 7 month. But with Hailey I was more like 3 months along. oops..lol So to answer your question..yes..definately!
I showed at about 4 months with ds #1, around 2 months with ds #2 and at conception with dd. LOL.
I showed at 6 months with my oldest. I was in fabulous shape before she was conceived. With my other two I had a bump by two months, even though I had terrible morning sickness with my third. My first two pregnancies were nearly identical and I had a girl, then a boy. There's no way to tell ahead of time. Have you told Kaitlyn that there is a baby coming?
Yes, oh and I'm still showing, my baby is 5.5yo... I was just telling my oldest that I'm due anytime now, I just know I am!!
No one will burst my bubble about the sex of the baby, lol. I'd actually like another girl but a boy would be fun too.
I will burst your bubble right quick! LOL.
Melissa - I am soooo sorry! I didn't even know you were pregnant! I haven't been on quite as often as I used to be - a lot going on nowadays here.
OMG Melissa! I know I've been on here only sporadically lately because I have had so much going on, but how on earth did I miss the fact that you are expecting!!! Congratulations!!!
Oh yeah--this time it seems like I was in maternity clothes right away! It was a little bit of a shock for me. With DD, it was around 5-6 months that I started wearing them, but this time it was more like 3! Also, don't be surprised if you reach that "uncomfortable" time sooner too. I know, I did. Thankfully, the maternity clothes are much better for the early stages of pregnancy. They never had the low rise anything when I was pregnant the first time. I loved all the pants at Old Navy! Have fun and enjoy!
The Dr. won't see me until i'm 12 weeks along. I hate it so i'm just a worry wart about everything. I want to see the baby and hear the heartbeat. I'm feeling okay though. The last 4 days I havn't had morning sickness at all, well minus an occasion queasy feeling but overall i'm good. (Which also worries me!) I'm extra irritable lately so DH and I have been like cats and dogs together. That's no different than the first time though.
I had to go back really far in my memory (had my last baby 15 years ago!), but I do remember being so anxious in my first pregnancy that it took forever for me to show. Then, the next 2 pregnancies I just popped right out there!
