Hello all
I JUST (meaning yesterday) found out I was pregnanat with #2. However, for about a week now, my belly has been bigger. Not a lot, but it's bigger and my pants are tighter. I haven't been eating differently so I was just curious if it's possibile to start showing this early on with your second?? Thanks everyone!

What can I do next?

A friend of mine came over and was saying how her pants were tight and not fitting well....she felt very "fat." She had no idea she was pregnant until 2 days later so I do believe it is possible. Congrats! :)

Your uterus is still below your pubic bone at this point. So if you are bigger it is probably due to bloating. I too felt huge early on with my third pregnancy but I wasn't "showing" util much later. Congrats on the pregnancy!

With my first i didn't start showing til about 5 months along but i am currently pregnant with baby #2 as well and i stated showing with this one at 2 months. I was a little upset at first because i thought maybe i was gaining too much weight, but i have only gained 10 pounds and i am almost half way through my pregnancy now. So don't worry i think maybe it is bloating but maybe you are showing early. Even though its early showing this early is proof that there is someone in there. Good luck and be healthy. I wish you all the best.

Number 3 I couldn't get my pants buckled even before we found out I was pregnant. I tested 1 day late ,and was in maternity wear 2 days later. Didn't look hugely prego, just wasn't comfy in reg. clothes! So yes, definately possible!

Me too, I showed very early on. I'm only 5'1 so not to many places for the extra weight to go to. Congrats.

It's probably either bloating or psychosomatic.

At this stage in the game, your baby is no bigger than a poppy seed. The uterus has not yet started to grow to anything noticeable.

with my first one I did not show until I was 6 months, with my second one, I was showing at 8 weeks! Everyone says with the second you show a lot earlier!

very normal!! Often because your body has been stretched you grow a lot bigger quicker. I know I did and so did everyone else I know. Enjoy the pregnancy!!!

It IS possible. It is very proven (you can look in all the books) that you start showing much earlier with your second. Everything is all ready ready and once it happens, pop there's your belly. Obviously the baby is tiny tiny tiny, but it's not just the baby that makes your belly show!
Congrats!

I'm not sure about with 2nd or not, I have one child I knew when I was 3 weeks, my pants fit different. My body was very different, I would not say My tummy was showing however my body shifted. It was very strange, it's how I knew to take a pregnancy test. My pants just simply did not fit. Yes I would say you can show early.
Congradulations!!
