Previous Molar pregnancy and new pregnancy showing

[ks3029]

Ok, so you know how they say most women who have been pregnant before show sooner in their new pregnancies? What if your previous pregnancy was a molar pregnancy? Will you still show sooner during your second pregnancy than you would have if it was your first?

i had a molar pregnany back in 2008 diagnosied at 3 months i went rather big i then went onto have another pregnancy but lost it at 11 weeks that was bk in 2009 i got big quite quick the second time and i knew straight away i was pregnant so i think it just the same i think tho a molar is one of the worst things to have cause its a tumour as you no its nice to no i wernt the only one good luck in the future tho.

I have had a baby before and two missed miscarriages inbetween that one and this one both i got to 12+ weeks. but with this number 4 i started showing at about 6 weeks. then its slowed down at 13 weeks. Id say its because ive allready streched 3 times up to this point.
I love seening bumps now. Hope you get a nice cute one xx

Even though I had a molar pregnancy, my uterus still grew. I was 3 months when it was diagnosed, and I was "showing" as if an actually baby was growing inside, because in molar pregnancies your uterus grows more rapidly.

It depends upon how far along you are. I only made it to 6 weeks last time before a m/c and this pregnancy even though technically my second pregnancy i didn't really show until 6.5-7 months.

It depends on how far along you got. With my partial molar pregnancy I only got to three months but because it was a PMP and there was so much extra tissue my uterus had grown to nearly 5 months. I noticed that I started showing a lot sooner with this pregnancy and my OB said it could be because of the stretching my uterus had gone through before despite the fact that I hadn't gone to full term.

i showed the same time with all 3 of mine.... so thats not always true.... for some woman it is but with a molar pregnancy I dont think it would because like said above the uterus has not been stretched

I don't believe so. The reason you show soon in later pregnancies is because the muscles have stretched once before to accomidate the pregnancy and growing pregnancy.
