Looking bigger in second pregnancy

Hello! I am nearly 11 weeks pregnant and look way bigger than I did when I was pregnant with my first. I know there’s many factors but I’m wondering if anyone else has experienced this? I look like I’m near the end of my second trimester :O Also i am feeling super fatigued, inactive and hungry all the time. This is so different from my first 🥲

Hi, I wasn't showing much at all at 11weeks in my first pregnancy but currently 13+3 weeks and feel I look about 5 months!! I am heavier now than what I would have been when I got pregnant the first time so that has maybe played a part. I am also feeling very run down and tired. A bit paranoid at how big I feel I look also as I had so many comments first time round about bump size. But it's at the stage it's not possible to hide it anymore. Feels like it just ballooned last 2 weeks!

I am 10 pounds heavier at this stage of my pregnancy than I was at the same time in my first pregnancy! I’m 25 weeks. Don’t panic! I still feel fairly inactive and hungry a lot (I do 4 small meals a day! And have my last meal no later than 6pm so I can keep the acid reflux at bay!) But the fatigue lifted for me at about 15 weeks. Once a week now I nap when my toddler naps but manage otherwise. It will get better. Spend the next few weeks resting until you get a bit more energy, it will come x

Thank you both so much. I’m glad it’s not just me and hope you are all doing well! Hopefully there is light at the end of the tunnel as far as being fatigued all the time!

It is normal to show sooner with second pregnancy. It's also due to muscle memory playing part in this because your body remembers what to do!

Good to know, thank you !!
