Moms who are prego with #2 #3 etc

I'm only 5 weeks and holy shih tzu I'm soooooooooo freakin bloated. I've been drinking over a gallon of water a day to help with my supply and with the exception of dinner I've been back on the GD diet. So what gives? Am I going to start showing that much sooner compared to my first pregnancy? My pants are not fitting so good around the tummy area. Everywhere else is fine.

TIA

I always look huge and bloated up until 8-10 weeks, then it goes down. I'm 20 weeks now and just have a slight bump, and I looked bigger than this at 6 weeks! lol

I bloated very early on this time around. I thought I was showing at 5 weeks. It went down though and now at almost 16 weeks I'm starting to show for real.

Im in the same boat as the other ladies, thought I was showing very early, but it was bloat, at 11 weeks im still in my regular jeans.

Stop complaining.

I also think it will go down a bit! I always bloated in the beginning! But I did not actually show sooner. In fact, with my first three, I started showing later and later with each one. This time around I'm HUGE compared to how I was with all of them at the same stage!

Congrats on your BFP!!!

I definitely started showing earlier with my second pregnancy and I was in maternity clothes much sooner too.......I think around 8 wks. Everything popped so fast and nothing fit.

Happy and healthy 9 months!!

I had the same thing with #2 and no, it didn't go down. I just showed a whole lot earlier. It did finally slow down around 7mo and I didn't wind up any bigger than #1 in the end. There was no hiding it by about 9 weeks and I think everyone was already well aware when I announced at 12 weeks.

eta- Congratulations!

yea I got bigger faster this time- no question- but it kind of tailed off. I look at pictures and now at 26 weeks, I am about the same as I was with ds

Re: Moms who are prego with #2 #3 etc

I'm 14w1d today and I just look bloated. I can still fit into my pants but I know it won't be much longer.

I'm 5 weeks too and I was just saying this yesterday. My stomach is so bloated and my pants are already tight. I drink a ton of water too. I'm on Progesterone in Oil don't know if that has anything to do with it.

Re: Moms who are prego with #2 #3 etc

I feel like I'm showing sooner this time around (approx 15w now). BUT it's also warmer and I'm wearing lighter/fitted clothes. I'm def in maternity pants sooner though.

last time i was preggo we were approaching fall and I think sweaters made it less noticeable. I feel like I didn't show til like 4/5 months.

Re: Moms who are prego with #2 #3 etc

I got huge fast! With my first, I didn't start showing until I was 20 weeks. With this one, I was visibly pregnant at 12 weeks!! GD diet didn't even help!
