bulging belly

I'm now pregnant with our second baby. With my first, I really didn't have a bump until 15 weeks. Now I'm 8 weeks pregnant with the second and already have a little belly. Anyone has experience with this?

    Here too, already a little belly from around 8 weeks. It's normal, you know. Enjoy it. Greetings

    I don't have personal experience with this, but I know several people who get a baby bump much earlier with their 2nd (and 3rd) child than with their first. I've read about it too.
    No idea why that is, but it seems to be completely normal. :-)

    Yesss, I already notice it in my pants, it's so weird, I'm only 8 weeks pregnant;-)

    Exactly the same here. With my first, I had a mild labor, but with number 2 it was much harder. Really much harder. Later on, the difference became less.

    Here it's the other way around: with the first one, I was already in pregnancy clothes at 6 weeks, and now at 12+5 I'm still wearing my own clothes. I think it's because I don't enjoy eating as much this time.

    I'm 9 weeks along now and indeed already look quite a bit further along... It's my first real pregnancy though. Last time I had an IUD inserted at 7 weeks.

    I'm 20 weeks but don't really have a belly yet. I think it's just different for everyone But I often hear that you can already have a little bump at 8 weeks! Especially if it's not your first baby!

    Hi Wendy,

    See forum
    Since today I really have a visible belly, do you have that too????

    So yes, I definitely recognize it, it's my 3rd and the reaction to my belly is: "Gosh, how long do you still have to go?" "Until the end of November, I say...!!! Gosh girl, then you'll have a tough time getting it... Oh, I say, we'll see..."

    Wishing you a very nice pregnancy.

    Gr, Ju

    Today exactly 11 weeks.. and the first day of wearing maternity clothes! What a relief, seriously! So nice! It's my second baby.

    So glad to hear that everyone has a bit of the same. I'm already 15 weeks and it's really quite visible now. Tomorrow morning I'm going to the GP, finally get to hear the heartbeat, yay! Greetings, Wendy
