Are you showing yet ???

Cassandrabrodie

I'm 15 weeks 2 days pregnant and I have a very smalllll bump , barely noticeable should I be showing a little more than this ? I looked it up and talked to my doctor and they said its fine but I just wanna know how other woman's pregnancies are going

fisk2005

Unfortunately I appear further along in my pregnancy than I am. I have fibroids so my doctor told me it makes me look more like 6 months and I'm only 4.5:/ so needless to say I'm perfectly round, all belly! Lol

Check out the thread entitled "HDBD"

I'm showing. This is my fifth pregnancy and third baby, so my muscles are stretched. I also have big kids, so
I get bigger than most. Everyone carries different depending on their body type. Consider yourself lucky! With my first I didn't really show until 7 months, which was nice.

MissMandyD

I am huge. Big enough that at a business meeting today a vendor congratulated me without me telling them. 

But I have been pregnant twice in 6 months so I was looking pretty big really early.

yella726

Um, I'm definitely showing, but I think I'm on the way bigger end! This is my FIRST and I'm nice and round! I sort of "popped" over week 14.  I posted this pic in the HDBD thread, but you can see what I'm talking about at 15 weeks, 5 days. Granted this is with a full day's worth of food and I absolutely LOVE my bump but all I can think is MAAAAAN I'm going to be BIG!

melaniedel

Yes, for sure showing, but it's my third. With my first, I don't think I started showing until 5-6 months bc my stomach muscles were so tight.

This is me exactly. I'm way bigger than I was with DS.

megaroo64

I'm showing for sure! But, my son is only 10 months so I am pretty sure that my stomach never really recovered from that.

I am not showing at all. I'm still in my pre-pregnancy jeans and I'm still at my pre-pregnancy weight. I'm 17 weeks and there's no bump at all. If I lie on my back, I can feel it a few inches above my pubic bone, but no one else can tell. My OB says this is completely normal for a FTM, and she also said I might not show until I reach 24 weeks. I'm not stressing about it but I really wish I had a bump!

Everyone is different, so don't compare yourself too much!  With my first pregnancy I drove myself crazy because everyone commented on how small I was, and sometimes were rather rude about it.  I thought with this one I'd be bigger and all that, but thus far it's not looking like it.  Although, it's still pretty early for me.  Either way, DD ended up being 8lb 3oz so I am not worried in the slightest this time around.  I wish I had enjoyed it with her and told everyone (and myself) to shut up!  All this to say, enjoy your "very smalllllll" bump.  I am sure you're adorable!

The people being rude thing is really annoying! I've had people (mostly men, to be honest) ask me "are you sure you're pregnant?" This makes me mad! Yeah, I'm pretty freaking sure, dude!

mamamurphy

Yup... but its my 3rd baby.  Depending on the time of day depends how big my bump is.

Sweetiepops

This is my second pregnancy, but first healthy one, and I feel like I'm huge! Definitely a noticeable bump that I just started showing off today! haha

All of this. I'm 17 weeks now and it's my 5th pregnancy in less than 4 years. My last kid was 10lbs 11oz, so I'm all stretched out.

This is me. I definitely think my hormones or something is causing the bloated belly - because I'm only 13w so can't be a bump? My first pregnancy ended in loss and we only waited one cycle so could be from that.
Or I need to come to terms with it being my carb belly - the only food I craved during the month of Feb!

CheesyPeas

Don't let HDBD get in your head. I'm still early (just 14 weeks tomorrow) but I for sure thought I would be showing by now since I'm a second time mom. I've got nothing though. A thicker waist no doubt but nothing that resembles a bump. We'll both have something to show before we know it.

Glad I'm not the only one with the first that's showing so much bumpage already! I'm so afraid I'm going to be enormous in my third trimester!! I don't mind though, I'm loving every minute of it! I'm just thinking about how giant I might be with future pregnancies!

MLE_C2B

I'm 16 and when I looked back on pics match me at 20 last go round. Honestly if I were someone else.... Depending on what I'm wearing, would guess I was 5-6 mo. People keep getting all shocked when I say I'm not due till early oct.

vrj0522

I am showing a little bit now but I was probably about 20-21 weeks along before I showed this much with my first pregnancy. It wasn't until about week 24 that I got a real pregnancy belly. 

ladybug0088

I just started showing a little bit with my first this past week. It was like overnight...

PinkSands15

I am, but definitely not as much as I thought I would be at almost 17 weeks. I am tiny (just under 5 ft) and feel like I had a noticable bump at 13/14 weeks, but I don't feel like it has gotten considerably bigger. I actually was just complaining for DH about this yesterday (stupid, I know!) so I googled bump pictures and it calmed me down a lot. Everyone shows differently!

DaniGrace89

14 weeks. Whenever I say I'm pregnant, people give me the awkward confused look as they stare at my belly...which doesn't look like anything.

TheOtherJacobsons

I am 16+ and I have only gained 2 lbs. I am showing, but not as much as some of you! What lovely lady lumps!

suprsuz

This is my first pregnancy.  I am 14 weeks as of yesterday, and I definitely have a bump.  It's much more noticeable in certain outfits than others, but unfortunately I can barely squeeze into my clothes anymore, so if I don't go get some maternity clothes I am going to continue to look like a slob...  that's no fun.  but I'm proud of my bump

lct2008

I'm fat and look 6 months pregnant and I'm only just about to be 13 weeks with lo #2. Every one is different op. And as long as your dr isn't worried you shouldn't be either.

This is basically me--FTM, 17 weeks, no bump in sight.  My MW told me not to except to show in the near future either but that I would start noticing my clothes not fitting right.  That being said I'm sitting here in my regular jeans (admittedly they're low rise).  My stomach definitely looks and feels different (at least if you're me or my husband and scrutinizing it on a regular basis).

Bring on the bump!

themiss

I am 13 weeks 3 days and I am showing a bit. However, I am also a larger woman, so I had some tummy to begin with

What's odd, is the top of my stomach is very firm, but the baby isn't up there yet!

Anyways, I do show a bit more than I think I should be...but it could just be my extra tummy padding, lol

Jewamiprin89

This is my first and I feel like I'm showing a lot for someone who is a naturally smaller person...for some reason I had it in my head that skinny people show later, but now I'm hearing the opposite.

windwithfingers

@jewamiprin89: my OB told me skinny people show later because of tighter stomach muscles, but this has proven to not be universally true! I think it really just depends on your own body. You have a cute bump!

Cassandrabrodie

Not complaining? Just curious on other woman's pregnancies and how they are showing. Thanks

[Deleted User]

I've been incredibly bloated but the past few days I look the same from when I wake up until I go to bed. This is my first and I'm only 13 weeks and some change. I feel gigantic. I was venting to my mom last night and she said that she got really big when she was pregnant, and so did each of her 5 sisters.

megaddie

I'm showing...some of it's bloat, I know, bc I look obviously pregnant after eating. If I wear a dress, I look more bump-y than with jeans. I think I hold myself in more when I wear jeans!

ANGnJON

I have started to show, as in a bump not just bloat. In the beginning I was very bloated & obviously more so as the day progressed. At this point I have a steady bump all day everyday. I am a bit surprised that it has begun this early but, I guess with twins it can be expected.

Skinny people don't necessarily have tighter muscles I'm not skinny (not overweight either), but I have really strong abs, and I think that's why I'm not showing yet (17 weeks on Monday). If I let my abs go, the bump is pretty obvious, but for the sake of my back, I hold my abs in. It's getting to the point though that there'll be no sucking it in soon!

Oh trust me, I'm relatively skinny and my stomach muscles are nowhere near tight! Defined abs? Never in my life. Not even close. I'm 17 weeks and I'm not showing at all (like I said up there). I've found my OB is not always right about these kinds of things.

TaylorH84

The only time anyone says anything about my bump, or lack there of, is at work...which is all the more weird bc I wear scrubs everyday (I'm not talking the cute scrubs either...I work in an OR so we wear the scrubs the hospital offers. Pajama style, baggy scrubs.). Anyways, it's always after lunch when they're like, "I can see your belly! It's starting to show!" I find it irritating bc first of all, you can't tell (I was at the beach last wkd and wore a bikini...you can't tell.) and second of all it's probably the cheese burger I just ate...and stop poking me in the stomach damnit. The only things growing right now are my boobs.

wkfouts

I'm 16W today and I'm like barely, and I mean barely showing. Everything is measuring right on track so I'm not worried. Taking it as the weight I don't gain is the weight I don't have to lose.

BeanNut

I didn't show until around 20 weeks with my first. This time, I've been showing forever. My stomach muscles "popped" back out very early.

fisk2005

I have quite the bump and I am 17 wks and 2 days! I wish I could say I wasn't showing but I was told my fibroids would contribute to me appearing a lot more further along than I truly am!

suprsuz

I magically developed a bump some time between last Sunday and Wednesday. I actually had to go shopping today... I got lots of cute stuff.

Justabean3

I'm 16w and I feel like I'm showing more than I should be but this is my 3rd. I am already as big as I was at 20+ weeks with number 2.

I will say with 1 and 2 I had ab muscles going on and #3 I can't remember the last time I even worked out. My stomach is weak.

CynthiaVRey

Where is the baby bump suppose to be right now? Lower or higher? When does it move up
