2nd baby & showing at 9 weeks


Quote  |  Reply

So maybe my abs weren't in the best post pregnancy shape here 9 months after I have birth but is it just in my head that I'm showing already?  (Yes I gave birth in June & was pregnant again in Jan. lol)  I've gained 3 lbs but it kind of feels like water weight yet unless I'm crazy my tummy is more than just droopy now.  It's poochy in the pregnant way. 

Anyone else on here notice the pooch cometh sooner the 2nd time arround?

I know exactly what you are saying! The same thing happened to me and I got pregnant again when my daughter was almost 2 and a half!! I am now 6  months and don't worry Ididn't continue to grow at the same rate as it did in the beginning!! I wish you the best and congratulations!

I am 8weeks with my second and I see it, I read that it is partially because of the musles already being stretched out from the first kid so they just relax sooner than they did the first time. I also have more pounds on me starting out with this one than I did the last so I'm sure that doesn't help. But your not crazy, between loose musles and all of the extra hormones and fluids we are sticking out already !

 

Update:  I'm 17 weeks now.  Everyone can see the bump now but many aquantances are still too shy to say anything.  You see them eyeballing your belly with a questioning look. It doesn't help I wear the form fitting maternity wrap shirts.  They hide nothing but I feel somehow sleeker in them.  I mean the rest of me still looks pretty good.
