Did any of you ladies who have more than one child find that you were showing sooner with your next pregnancy? I didn't show until close to 4 months with my first this time I am only 8-9 weeks and showing already!

Yes, your abdomen is like a rubber band and when it stretches all the out it does not go all the way back in. So, when it starts stretching again, it's looser, easier and it stretches sooner.

Yep, it's like the body "remembers" and *jumps* out there! It seems to happen especially when one loses the baby weight between pregnancies. I had gained before my baby girl and I could wear my *normal* clothes until 20 weeks, with her! I really want to lose back down before the next one, though, if I can!

I had actually read something about this online about how your body remembers what it was like to be pregnant and your body just goes ahead and does it so you show sooner.

My wife says she started showing a lot sooner. It could be because she also was not working 12 hours a day on her feet this time around. She didn't show till about 8 months last time and this time she is showing now at 5 months.

I don't know if I am showing so much yet but my breasts have gotten large enough that nearly all of my shirts are way too small for me to wear.

I am ten weeks today with my second pregnancy and I am already showing this time around so I would say that I am definitely showing sooner.
