uterus bigger?

Does the uterus grow faster the second time around than the first? I know they say at 20 weeks it should be at your belly button, but for the last two days I have been feeling kicks above my belly button. I am 19 weeks almost 3 days.

I have read before that after your First your muscles become more relaxed And your uterus does grow faster!

I'm not sure if it grows faster but with my first I definitely looked smaller then I do with this one but this one is also measuring 10 days bigger

I look more pregnant than with my first for sure. Im 22 weeks, and compared to my 22w picture with baby #1, i look a few weeks or a month bigger.. Even though the baby is normal size.

I don't feel kicks too much although I have felt them. My baby seems to like to curl up in a certain area and I can just feel where she is cuz it's like a lump and a bit of pressure cuz she's all in one spot if that makes sense.? But today I also notice the spot she was in was a bit above my belly button and she's usually lower. I'm exactly 17 weeks and this my second, from what I've read the muscles expand alot quicker because they've already done it before so I'm assuming that goes for the uterus too.?? I have no idea if that's it but that's what my bf and I came up with. Lol.
