Showing Baby bump

Is it true that if your pregnant with your second or more baby then you start to show sooner? And if so how come?

Imagine the uterus like a balloon- it gets easier to blow up the more times it gets blown up. Basically the elasticity is a lot stretchier.

Yes it is. I had the problem with my second and was wondering why I was so huge so early. I was told the uterus stretches with baby the first time then with the others the uterus will stretch before baby grows. Also that caused my uterus to measure two weeks ahead with my last son and four weeks ahead with my current. So don't be alarmed if your uterus starts showing you are further along than you are. it will measure out right in the end. I'm atleast hoping it will with this one. The sonograms show hes a little ahead but far from being four weeks ahead.
