Second pregnancy question?

This is my second pregnancy and I'm roughly eight weeks along. I was curious to know if it's true you grow faster on your second because I can feel myself stretching. Is that weird? Does anybody else feel this to?

I'm pregnant with my 2nd and am currently 18 weeks. Around this time with my first I was much bigger so I guess it's not always true that you'll be bigger the 2nd time around!

I'm 8 and a half months pregnant with baby #2.  I can tell you, you get bigger faster and it's a little tougher the second time around.  At 6.5 months I was the same size as when I gave birth to my first child.  Being almost 9 months now, I hear a lot of "OMG YOU'RE HUGE!" or "You look like you're about to pop!"  Didn't hear that the first time at all.
