Looking pregnant in early stages

I'm currently 5 weeks 3 days pregnant with bub #2 (havent had dating scan to confirm exact dates) and I literally have a bump/bugle from my belly button down? Is it normal to look like you are pregnant at this stage? With my first I started showing at 12 weeks but it seems the last week and half it just popped out of no where. I'm 53.5kgs and not that tall and I havent put on any weight so far. Just wondering if this has happened to any other mummas? Realistically I want to wait to the 3month mark to tell people but I don't know if I'll be able to hide it for to long before people notice it lol Thanks in advance

Yes :( 2nd babies often show earlier.

Yes. I was huge from day 1 2nd preg. Was all bloating and didn't settle until 15 wks when my bloat went and slowly bump grew.
Was really hard to hide but we did until 12 wks.
Good luck and congratulations

Yes, my first people at work didn't know I was pregnant till about 25 weeks, my second which was 6 months later showed from 10 weeks (I put it down to being so close together)

i looked pregnant long before i actually realised i was pregnant. You definately show earlier with each subsequent pregnancies for sure! At 20 weeks people were commenting that they thought i was so far along i was going to give birth on the floor right in front of them! Haha!
