2nd baby

I am preg with baby number 2. Put on 25+ kg with number one, still had 10kg to loose and now preg again. Happy but wish I lost the weight first. Hoping I dont put on as much with number two? My stomach looks like I looked at 4 months preg with baby number one and I am only 8/9 weeks now!! Is this normal? I struggle to hide I am preg!

Congratulations!

I am 6 weeks pg and look the same as 3-4 mths last time!    I don't think I will get to 3 mths before my colleagues click.

I put on 19 kgs last time so I imagine it will be more this time.

According to google it seems that 2nd pregnancy's tend to show alot earlier - that will be my excuse anyway and I'm sticking to it!

try not to worry about it too much, just keep to a reasonable eating lifestyle and deal with it wayyyyyyy later after bubs is born,

I stacked on the weight really early in this pregnancy and have no clue how as I was barely eating and what i did eat it just got thrown straight back up in the loo. Took me a while to get my head around the fact that I was gonna get huge but I know that i've lost a lot of weight once before so when the time is right I can do it again.

I put on a lot of weight while preg with my oldest, then when i got preg 5 years later with Jae I was still a good 10kg up from my starting weight first time. I kept a close eye on what i ate/did and ended up at the same weight as i was at 36w with him, total weight gain of 10kg, as opposed to the 25kg+ first time.

Just because you stacked it on first time around, doesnt always mean you will next time too... I must admit i was a LOT lazier and had a 'she'll be right' attitude to anything I ate with my first, and had already switched to a healthier lifestyle immediately prior to getting preg 2nd time (was actually trying to lose weight to get on IVF waiting list!) so i think being much more careful made the difference for me.

This time around I had JUST got back to starting weight with #2, and so far have managed to keep it down to 4.5kg gain, aiming to gain no more than 10kg by the end!

Oooh liking this! Hope that works for me

You couldnt tell I was pregnant at 20 weeks with number two but then this happened...

I showed alot sooner with #2 as well. The way I see it everything is already stretchy and your body doesn't have to 'fight' to expand. You might find that it evens out later in your pg

that pic was about a week before I had her limochic
just saw you are having a girl!! congratulations!!
