With my first pregnancy, I started showing quite late, but now I'm pregnant again. Do you usually start showing earlier with your second pregnancy compared to the first?
Haan behen, dusri baar me jaldi hi pet bahar aa jata hai. Mujhe toh teesre mahine me hi sab log poochne lage the! Bas apna acche se khyal rakho aur dhyan do.
I experienced this too! Because my body was still recovering and I was breastfeeding my toddler, my muscles were super relaxed and the bump appeared by 3rd month.
It varies a lot from person to person. I started showing very early but my sister didn't show till 5th month. If you feel any pain or have doubts about the baby's growth, better to check with your gynac once to be safe.
Generally with the second one, your abdominal muscles are already stretched, so you tend to show a bit earlier, maybe by 12-14 weeks. But honestly, everyone's body is different, so checking with your doctor during your regular scans is the best way to monitor baby's growth.
For me, the bump popped out by the end of the first trimester itself! It was so different from my first pregnancy where I didn't show till 5 months. It's totally natural because the body remembers the shape, so stay positive!
