Question For Mommies of More Than One Child Posted: 10-13-06 11:23am
How far along were you with your second or
third child when you started to show?
With my first I was nearly 5 months before
I started to show but with this pregnancy
it's starting much much earlier and I was
curious to see how far along everyone else
was.
With my first 2 I was probably 3 1/2-4
months. With this pregnancy I started
probably around 3 months.
How far along are you?

I'm only around 7 weeks i'm guessing. I
don't think it's possible that i'm any
further along than that. My stomach is
already getting hard and rounding out
right above my pubic bone. Oh my, maybe
it's twins!

When I was pregnant with my son I was
about 20 weeks before I really started
showing. I didn't' carry him to term but
I blew up like a cow with pre-eclamsia and
gained 30 lbs in about 4 days with water
retention.
Now with my daughter I was about 8-12
weeks before I started showing and people
at work kept asking if I was pregnant and
I was really mad because I wasn't ready to
tell people I was preggers yet. I wanted
to get past the crutual stage.

so did you tell them no?
I would have.
Why is it when you have already had
kids,you show more with the following
pregnancies? I thought it would take
longer to show since there is already that
extra skin and stuff. . .(no offense to
anyone )

I think its cause your skin has already
streached out before and has a easier time
streaching out the next time
I think it's your tummy muscles.. The
first time you have a baby they're not
used to stretching so it takes longer to
happen.. With subsequent babies it's
quicker because they're used to doing it
and stretch more easily.
