Probably a really stupid question but ....
Mums who are UTD with #2 or more who gave birth to the previous one in the last year .... how far into pregnancy was it , before you could blame your belly weight on pregnancy and not your previous baby ? I still have a bit of a ....pouch left over from Ty , I can't wait til I can blame my extra weight on this baby and not lack of exercise and too much bad food 
and how do you tell , if its excess baggage or pregnancy weight ?  -------------

I started showing about 8weeks. But I showed early with my first too (around 14weeks). I had a flat tummy when i got pregnant with our second but it just popped out!!
I also had problems with my muscles separating and other pains a lot earlier on. The best thing i ever did was see a osteopath - she was amazing for the general uncomfyness. |

I have been wondering that as well Kelly. With my first pregnancy my bump didn't become obvious to the general public till I was around 5mths.
Will be interested in other peoples answers. ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

I started to pop out really fast this time round, managed to stay in my pre pregnancy jeans till about week 18. Although with my type of build, I too wonder if people still look at me and wonder if I am pregnant or not as well.
I have only had 1 comment about expecting.... -------------

| Most people just think I'm fat rather than preggy. My real estate agent had no idea that I was preggy, so hes been seeing my tummy slowly get bigger for the last month! lol |
