Pregnancy Belly

[Nise]

Ok Ladies how soon did you start showing with your second pregnancy? I'm 15 weeks and I look like I'm 6 months!!! I started getting to big for my clothes at about 11 1/2 weeks. Is this normal. I'm not due until Sept. 22 but the doctor is going to take the baby two-to- three weeks early because I need a c-section again.
I'm afraid I'm going to explode this time!! Very worried that my skin will stretch tooo much. I'm already getting that itchy feeling on my abdomen that signals stretching.
Any ideas on what will help? (I've already tried the Palmer's cocoa butter and oil)

Usually any after the first you will tend to show faster than the first because your uterus has already been stretched once before. I was very big with my second early on. If cocoa butter doesn't work I am not sure what else to try, almost everyone I know swears by it when pregnant.

Cocoa butter never helped me any. I have the battle-scars to prove it! ... lol ... I heard Vitamin E oil helps, but never tried it myself.
BTW ... Congratulations ... have any names picked out yet? Boy/Girl?
Ok ok, enough with the questions ;)

Noseypoo-- Welcome first of all. I haven't been online in a while so if your not so new I apologize! I'm still slathering on the cocoa oil but hadn't heard of the Vit. E oil. I might try it. Yes, I have a name picked out...It's a girl and her name will be Mallory Kristen.
The doctor moved my due date up to Sept. 12, 2004. So, I'm hoping that she will let me have the c-section on the 30 or 31st of August. We'll see.

I didn't show for quite awhile , but then got very very huge! Everyone swore I was having twins! :D Thank goodness breast feeding burns off lots of calories! I lost most of the wieght in the first couple of months.
