Carrying smaller 2nd pregnancy??

I was just wondering if anyone was smaller their second pregnancy. I am almost 19 weeks now and I am def showing but no where near like I was with DD. With Norah I had a definite pregnant belly, this time I kinda just look fat at this point. I am a total worry wort so I feel slightly nervous about it, I know I'm prob crazy! I hate that there ia so much time between doc appts- a month is a long wait to know if things are ok in there!! haha But all I ever hear is how people are so much bigger the second time around etc.
This time I'm pregnant with a boy and crazy running after a 15mth old so that could be why?!

Carrying smaller 2nd pregnancy??

I carried different both times - I was late and bigger the first time. I had two boys but I was more active the second time around.

Re: Carrying smaller 2nd pregnancy??

yes, much smaller! I gained 16lbs with my son, he was born at 8.7lbs.

i gained 10lbs with DD (second pregnancy) and she was 7.6lbs.

I also did have high fluid with my son/first pregnancy so that is part of the reason I looked bigger and gained more.

i just think each pregnancy is different

Much smaller, gained 35 lbs with my first and only gained 12 total this time. My first was 7.14 my second was 7.2 so not a huge size difference. I had to have pretty regular growth sonos because at 32 weeks I had only gained 7 or so lbs. I was way way more active the 2nd time around.

Yes, with DS i gained around 45 lbs. and all belly, he was 7lbs 8 oz. 2nd time preggo i had a DD and gained about 35 lbs, and belly wasn't so basketball-like..she was also tiny 6lbs 12oz
