huge belly

In second pregnancies does the uterus grow faster or something? I look maybe 6-7 months and I am only 15+1. It makes me upset about my body sometimes. :\

People usually show faster because the uterus has already been through the stretching and stress of a baby growing, after your first pregnancy your uterus is more flexible, therefore its easier for it to stretch and grow again

With my first I didn't show until I was like 7 months. With my second I was huge. Everyone thought I was pregnant with multiples. It was hard. With my third I'm not as big as my second but I'm bigger than my first. I don't know why but people often show sooner with their second.
