This is my second pregnancy and I'm 8 weeks along. With my first child I wasn't showing until about 4-5 months. This time is wayyy different. I feel like I've popped out so much! Is this normal? I've heard you show quicker with you second, but still. Anyone?

I've heard that too. With some people in their first pregnancy they don't show until like 4-5 months but once they get to their second pregnancy they show alot quicker

It's true in most cases. Then again, everyone is different and every pregnancy is different. I'm having my first and started showing at 9 weeks. I have a friend who is having her second and at 20 weeks, still has nothing. It all depends. Just about anything seems "normal" when it comes to pregnancy.

I started to show at 28 weeks (this is my first). My doctor told me that because it is my first my stomach muscles are stronger and ill show slower. but my friend who is 14 weeks is already showing... and its her first also. i have no clue... all this stuff is to confusing

Everyone is different, but take advantage of it! It's frustrating when you just look fat! Hopefully you'll be sporting that beautiful baby bump when most mommies are just feeling like they've had too many donuts!
