Second pregnancy showing way sooner?
I’ve read it’s common to show sooner in your second pregnancy but I’m 8 weeks and I already look like I have a bump!? Is that unheard of? For context I am 5’1 and weighed 127 before my first pregnancy. I started this pregnancy at 132 so not quite at my pre-pregnancy weight but not significantly heavier either. It seems like it’s going to be hard to hide soon! 😩

I started "showing" at 8 weeks with my second pregnancy too, but chalked it up to more likely being bloated. Baby and uterus aren't large enough at that point to be pushing out on your belly. A noticable bump wasn't until about 12 weeks unlike the 16-18 weeks with my first.
I’m on my third and had a “blump” by 6 weeks as big as 13 weeks with my second. It’s only gotten bigger. And I was at the smallest/fittest I’ve ever been. I’m also only 5’ so I’ve always shown fast due to a short torso.

It is common to show earlier. I showed by 3 months with my second and for my third I felt like I "looked pregnant" which is what made me take a test and of course it was positive. I was about 7 weeks along by then and always have had irregular periods which is why i wasnt even worried when my period didnt ahow up lol 🫠🫠
