Second time mums

I’m 10 weeks pregnant with baby #2. People have started guessing I’m expecting and asking me about it. I managed to keep it a secret with my first until I was about 16 weeks! Do you show earlier the second time around? I haven’t had a scan yet so I don’t really want people knowing but I can’t lie if they ask me?

My midwife said today you usually show quicker 2nd time round but could also be bloating lol I'm just gonna hide it till 12 weeks under a big jumper xx

It varies hugely from person to person but generally speaking yes, you show earlier. I don't think I showed much in my first pregnancy until around 20 weeks. This time around, at 11 weeks I'm definitely getting rounder although a lot of it must be bloat which I didn't have with my first!

I literally look like I did at 5 months pregnant. People have guessed already and I’ve not had the scan yet either

Yep was about 18 weeks when I got a bump the first time and I already have a small one now, your body just bounces back into pregnancy mode!

I’ve looked pregs since 5 weeks and I’m 10 now, now I look like I did at 20 weeks last time!! Really hard to hide - lots of big baggy tops and jumpers. But yeh also heard you show earlier on your 2nd as your body has already stretched from before
