showing sooner??

I've heard with your second baby you show sooner because of muscle memory. Did this happen to anyone else? When did you start to show with your second? I started to show by 4m with my first so I'm hoping for a little sooner this time around. I love having that cute little bump! :)

It's not muscle memory lol.. it's that after ur 1st ur stomach muscles are not as tight as a 1st timer so it shows faster cuz it's loose. But if u exercised n worked on ur abs n they r strong then it will be the same as a 1st timer. This is my 3 n I exercises n had a six pack after my pregnancies so even on my 3rd I didn't show til 25 weeks. So it depends on how tight ur abs muscles r

The second was showing so much sooner. My belly looks like 6 months while i was just 3. People start asking, that never happend by my first pragnancy. Closer to the duedate, its becomming to be the same belly, it stopt growing (luckely).
