I'm Currently Feeling:  | Truly, each pregnancy is different.
I will say though that I started to show a bit earlier with my second, and my third I showed way earlier than the first two.
As for being bigger throughout the pregnancies, my first two were about the same. I do find with my third I've gained weight more quickly although I don't ever have cravings and eat pretty much as I did pre-pregnancy and also throughout my other pregnancies. |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | I was led to believe that you show earlier due to the stomach muscles being less resistant to the outward force of the uterus growing. I dont see a reason why a second pregnancy should make you 'bigger' purely because its your second. If you are bigger with your secondly is probably due to having a bigger baby or carrying more fluid. |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | My stomach muscles are very tight-- its the uterus that's been stretched and relaxed. 2nd pregnancies commonly show sooner. I think you might appear bigger early on because you're showing sooner. |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | I've gained less weight (at least so far), but I think my stomach is bigger this time around. |
