Truth or Myth?!?!

[adri1413]

is it true you begin to show earlier with each pregnancy? I'm only 9 weeks and I feel like I look about 16-20 weeks! This is my third baby. With my 1st I didn't show until about 16-20 weeks and I can't remember with my 2nd. I'm eager to hear what y'all's experiences are. Thank you!!

I say yes, I'm on my second and I'm deff way bigger with this baby than my first. It depends on how much weight you've lost from your first, second, third, etc. And how toned you are. I think there are so many factors in it, so it could go both ways.  I've read that once you have stretched certain abdominal muscles they'll never be the same again. So again it could be true because it allows for your belly to get bigger faster because they've been stretched before.

Yes because your uterus is use to stretching appropriately! However, my cousin did just find out she was having twins because she was entirely too big for being 4 months.

Im on my second an ya i felt more bigger around 15 weeks this time around then my first

[silvababy4]

Im on #4 and smaller this time around then the other 3. I showed around the same time with my other 3. about 24 weeks

I've heard that too. And for me it's true. With my first I didn't show until 24, maybe even 28 weeks. And this one I started showing by 10 weeks.

With my second I showed quicker than mu first but I also had a girl my second pregnancy and she was bigger than my son. With this one I still showed a little earlier than my first pregnancy but just barely and its another boy so I dont think its completely true. .

It was not true for me this is my third pregnancy I'll be 22 wheels tomorrow just started to get a little bump it was around the same time with my other two. Its worth noting I gained less weight each time

[ktroutman0513]

This is my third and i find it to be true. I have so far gained less weight but have showed a lot sooner.

[mommyaly808]

I believe so. With my first I was 24 weeks when I was started showing. My second I was around 22 or 20 weeks. & this pregnancy I started showing at 12 weeks!! Lol
