Hello Everyone!
I am 6 weeks pregnant with my second baby. I never really lost all of the belly from the first baby. So how can I tell if I'm showing or not? What will my belly look like? I think I have a little bump, but I'm not sure if it's just a "roll"! Ugh!!!
Well unfortunately i don't have any advice but I'm in the same boat so thanks for asking this question. I do what the other ladies said. Kinda stick my belly out & wear looser clothes or i wear my maternity clothes again, already. & I'm young still so ya, I just look like i didn't lose any weight from my son. I asked my mom & she said I'll definitely show faster with this one. Long story short... I feel ya! :)
I think you should pooch it on out there & call it a baby belly no matter what! Enjoy your pregnancy! :)
Just wait, it WILL show. don't over eat though, it will be HARDER to take off.
You can usually tell by your pants. With my first child, I started to show at about 12 weeks, but I could still wear "normal" elastic or loose-fit pants. By the 4-5 month, I was in maternity pants. With my second child, I had to go straight to maternity pants by 3 months along.
With my 2nd baby I showed a lot sooner, probably around 2 months. I've heard that it is common to show earlier with your 2nd baby.
With my second, the way I could tell it was baby and not just fat was the feel of it. The fat was squishy and the baby a more firm roundness. Does that make sense? Sounds gross described like that :). WIth my second, I did show a lot sooner, but unless you knew I was pregnant, I just looked fatter. I made sure to wear maternity clothes as soon as I could. The only time in my life I don't have to try to hide my belly in clothes!
I have kids 16 months apart so I understand what you are going thru. I didnt really start showing until I was about 5 months. I just looked like I had a baby and hadnt lost the belly.
Congrats on your pregnancy .
At only six weeks you're probably not showing.
You will be able to tell when your belly gets hard. I am overweight and can tell because the top section of my belly is getting firm.
J., I am 13 weeks along in my second pregnancy! With my son I didn't show until seven months, but this time I already look five months! I would just enjoy being pregnant again and not worry about whether your showing or not!
My kids are 16 months apart and I started showing way early. I was in maternity clothes by 10 weeks. With my first I didn't start wearing them util I was almost 20 weeks. I felt so much bigger with my second and alway worried about what I looked like. Don't worry about it just enjoy being pregnant. Congrats!
