baby number 2!

I am only 7 weeks pregnant and I've already gained 5 pounds. With my first pregnancy I didn't gain much or start to show until I was at the end of my second trimester. Has anybody else expierenced this? Is there anything I need to do differently?

With my first one I lost the weight right after I had her. With my second I had a big head thinking I was going to lose the weight as easy as my first..I did not. Drink lots of water n eat super healthy.

It's normal after you have already had one. I have shown earlier with each pregnancy, I'm pregnant with my 4th now. Even though I have had severe morning sickness and lost weight in 14 weeks and showing. When I had my second and third I gained weight and showed earlier even thoggh my second and third are 6 years apart.
