Can anyone tell me when they started showing with their second child? Did you feel like you were already showing some at two months?

What can I do next?

I don't remember how many weeks exactly, but it was a lot sooner than with my first. I'd probably say between the second and third month. I didn't show with my first until 6-7 months!

The 2nd one wasnt as bad with the showing instantly, I think it was between the 2nd & 3rd, but I definately felt almost like I was very bloated immediately. The subsequent 3 - 5 I just instantly got the preggers clothes out....they were just more comfortable.

Everyone is different. But I felt like I started showing early also, 8 wks, people didn't really notice on me until about 16 wks though and I have a small frame. I hope your not self concious about it, I hated being prego the first time around but the second time was a blast and I loved my belly. Good luck and congrats.

I feel like that right now....for I didn't gain weight yet but I definately got a belly going on and the doc said I am only about 6 weeks. With my first I didnt really show until like month 5 or 6.

I am not lying when I say I felt like I was 'showing' before I even knew I was pregnant. My babies are 14 months apart so that may be part of it, but seriously, I had just gotten back into preprego clothes when my oldest was 6 months and turned around one day and thought "if I did not know better, I would think I was pregnant." Lo and Behold, morning sickness started the next week.......

I started showing 3 months for my 2nd baby, but i was definitely getting heavier before that. I wore my tight clothes because I stubbornly refused to wear maternity clothes til the 3rd month.

You're not alone!

With my second pregnancy I started showing at about 6 weeks, but this may have been to a cyst or to my unfit stomach.

I feel as though I had to start wearing my maternity clothes almost as soon as I found out I was pregnant. I believe it was around 6 - 8 weeks for baby #2.

the 2nd time, I was showing as much at 3 months as I was at 5 months the first time. For #1 I was wearing regular pants unbuttoned at 3 mo, but for #2, it was by 2mo. I didn't mind... I loved my pregnancy curves!

With my second, noone knew until my 6th month. I started wearing maternity clothes about that time. Before then, I really barely showed, just looked like a normal woman with a little pooch for a belly. Only gained about 25 pounds with him

with my second I started showind at about 2 months. it gets earlier everytime because of your muscles already knowing what to do when they get the message that you are pregnant. i am 8 weeks pregnant with number 6 and i was starting to show before my pg test, like a week before. now everyone says i look 5-6 months pg, and i have lost wieght!! i have been in maternity clothes for 3 weeks now, had to get them when i grew out of my hubby's clothes!!! Dont worry, you are either normal or all of us are abnormal. lol watch what happens if you have another!!

Well I think everyone is different but as for me I didn't start showing any sooner with my second. I was still in regular pants at 5 months and really didn't start to have a good belly until 6 months like my first.
