Early Signs of Pregnancy: Showing Earlier with Second Child?

Question
I am about 5 weeks pregnant with my second child and I am already starting to show, this is sota of alarming considering that with my first it was almost 17 weeks before you could even notice any change.  I am just concerned if this normal with a second child or if it something I need to speak with my OB about prior to my initail visit in about 3 more weeks.


Thank You,
Tammy

Answer
This could be perfectly normal.  Each pregnacy is unique.  Also babies tend to get larger each time.
If you start to notice that you are gaining pounds a day then you should talk to your Dr. right away.
Good luck and Congrats!

P.S.  You may not be showing do to the baby.  It may be bloat from water retention or from things such as constipation or gas.
