This is my second child. I am 3.5 months pregnant and look like I did when I was 5 months pregnant with my first. I am scared that I am having twins or maybe my due date is off or something. Is this normal to be showing this soon?

They say that the first pregnancy is usually smaller than the succeeding pregnancies so I don't think you should worry all too much about the size. It can also be that your computations for your due date is off but only your ob-gyne can confirm that. But hey, all pregnancies are unique so you shouldn't worry too much about it. just enjoy!

Women who have had kids in the past show earlier than the first pregnancy because their stomach muscles have been stretched before... so no need to worry. I'm sure your ultrasound will be scheduled soon so it's either that or you are having twins.

From what I have heard, every pregnancy is different and the more children you have had-the bigger you may end up being. I wouldn't worry. Talk to your doctor about your fears and I am sure she/he will confirm this and all is well. Congrats btw!

well im not pregnant (yet) with baby #2 but i have heard that you show alot sooner than you do with baby #1, thats cause all your mucles in your tummy have already been stretched. i didnt wear materanty clothes till i was about 7 months pregnant with #1. but everyone is looking at me now and asking when im due!!! i hope its a good sign cause me and my husband are trying for #2!

I don't think that's too soon to be showing at all, most women show sooner with their second pregnancy since everything is already stretched out. I am 8 weeks and have a teeny little pooch, I am also pregnant with my second.

I have found you show sooner with each pregnancy you have. I know by 2 months with my 3rd I was all ready starting to wear maternity clothes. The funny thing is I gained the least amount of weight with her.

If you are concerned ask your doctor to arrange a scan for yo to put your mind at rest. It isnt at all uncommon to be showing this early on. You may be carrying more water this time around. Every pregnancy is carried differently.

When i was pregnant with my first child i didn't have to start wearing maturnity clothes until i was like 8 months pregnant. But with my 2nd child i was showing about 3-4 months along. Now with my 3rd child, that's another story.. i was showing alot sooner than my past pregnancies. Everyone is different, as well as every pregnancy. AS long as your baby is healthy, and you are too, then i wouldn't worry about it too much. Good luck, and congrats.
