I was wondering if anyone has experienced their second/ third pregnancy bellies growing faster than the first? Does that mean my belly will be bigger overall? I heard that you tend to show sooner the second time around but I'm terrified this means I'm going to get even bigger than with my first. I was in so much pain, I'm really small and my pelvic area was struggling 😪

I’m scared I’m going to be huge too. I’m showing now like I was at 5 months with my daughter 🫣

This is my 2nd pregnancy after 14 yrs and I’m only 11 weeks and i swear my belly is huge. I keep saying it’s bloatness but it never goes down lol

It’s because your core muscles have memory of being pregnant and know what to do already, that’s what my OB said!

My belly grew faster but overall was smaller during my 2nd and 3rd pregnancies!

I still had baby weight from baby #1 so I feel i look bigger sooner. I will say my mom had 3 kids and she was biggest with her 3rd but smallest with her 2nd.

Its because your body already knows the process so it spreads and move things around quicker then before .

yes, only 11 weeks with my second but you can already tell according to my mom and bf but my first is only 13 months

I’m definitely showing earlier this pregnancy than my last but I also still have a lot of the weight I put on last time. Not sure if that’s why
