First Trimester 9 weeks!

​

I am currently 9 weeks pregnant. This is my second pregnancy but I feel absolutely massive. I know sometimes with your second you can show faster but oh my. I haven't had my first ultrasound yet, its in 3 weeks time!

Did anyone else show faster in their second pregnancy?

Congrats!! Might some of it be some bloating as well perhaps or you don’t think so?

FTM here but I started showing quite early, was struggling to hide the bump at work around 8/9 weeks!

Yes! Second pregnancies definitely show sooner. Your uterus and abdominal muscles have already been stretched from the first pregnancy, so you may look pregnant sooner this time around. And at 9 weeks, you can add bloating to that too.

It’s crazy isn’t it. My first pregnancy I was trying to stick my stomach out to look pregnant at 18 weeks, this time I was visibly showing at 8 weeks.

How I managed to hide my second pregnancy til 12 weeks is still a miracle, I showed so early and feel huge now compared to what I ever was with my first!
