weight gain/bump with second baby

Hi I'm 5 weeks at the moment and feel huge...obviously I don't have a bump etc but iv put a couple of pounds on according to the scales etc and my jeans feel a little tighter think it's because I may be bloated. I didn't show etc until about 6 months or later with my son? If anyone is having there second when did you start to show or gain weight? Thankyou ☺

Have been wondering same thing. Well with my first didn't find out until i was 7mths that i was even preggo. Lol. Yes it happens. Ih ave always been chubby with my weight being in my belly area so didn't show until exactly 8mths then bam round basketball. Now with my second i am heavier and started to show at about now 19wks.

I felt big at the beginning definitely due to bloating - big time. But also I started to show much faster with the second, around 11-12 weeks. But since then my tummy didn't grow that much further. Since the beginning up to 18 weeks i gained 6-7 pounds.

I hope so :( when did you start showing either them all can you remember? I put on just over 2 stone with my son but to be honest it did come off? I'm not as worried this time part of me thinks I do show sooner as last time I just looked like I'd piled weight on...no bump haha :)
