How do some of you ladies already have a bump at 14 weeks? I push around my pelvis and only feel my squishy fat. I'm so confused. If my baby really is the size of a lemon, lord knows where it's hiding....
It really varies from woman to woman. It depends on the mom's build, how her uterus sits, whether she's had kid before, etc. There are lots of factors. It doesn't mean that there is something wrong with you but it also doesn't mean that there is something wrong with someone who is showing.

Its bloat/ fat. But I only consider it a baby belly once it's actually the uterus making the bump, not misplaced guts. I'm in shape and on my third and my "bump" is bloat/misplaced guts. My uterus is still very in.

Really? My uterus is just a bit below my belly button and this is only my second.

So is mine, but it's not rolled out at all. I'm sure some women could be rolled out, but the bump is still low, below the belly button, and the uterus at 14-18 weeks isn't all that big.

Maybe at 10 or 11 weeks, but this isn't uniform the case across the board. I am 14 weeks tomorrow and my MW confirmed two weeks ago that it was my uterus making the bump. This is my 2nd.
I'm pretty sure that my "bump" is mostly my intestines, being pushed up and out by my uterus. I can feel the top of my uterus a few inches above my pelvic bone, but my bump is mostly higher than that: it starts right above my pelvic bone and extends up to my navel.
That being said, I really look pregnant, even though I'm not yet 15 weeks and this is my first child. (My earlier pregnancies ended around 6 weeks.) My doctor told me early on that I would be showing sooner than many women: I am short-ish, have a short torso, and I didn't have extra padding to begin with.

Thanks ladies for the insight. I guess I was thinking that everyone's bumps at this point was consisting of their uterus, like if you pushed on it, it would be firm. I know my belly is sticking out more than normal but I thought that was due to decreasing my running from 20+ miles per week before I got PG to 0 since I'm prohibited per the doctor.

The uterus at 1618 weeks is about the size Of a cantelope...maybe it's just me, but I would not describe a cantelope inside me as "not all that big" lol
This is my 2nd pregnancy (first ended at 11 weeks). I'm on the shorter side (5'4") with a short torso. I can definitely feel the top of my uterus under my belly button. Everyone's different

Most of the "bumps" I've seen are much larger than a cantaloupe. Like, lol.
I dont feel my uterus at all. My "bump" is just bloat/fat. I am wondering because i have an anterior placenta is why i cant feel my uterus and if ill get an actual bump later than one without the anterior placenta.
I can feel my uterus a few inches below my belly button but the only time it pokes out is in the morning when my bladder has pushed it out. It goes right back in after I pee I have a feeling I won't truly show until 20 weeks. I could say I'm showing just from the bloat but that feels like cheating lol.
Bloat/fat? Speak for yourself sweetie. LOL....4th baby, uterus is at the very top of my belly button and about to go past it. I passed 'bloat' ages ago.
Due with #5 April 22, 2015. It's a girl!!!!!
Yes it was planned, yes we know what causes that, no we are not on public assistance, and yes we will be getting cable after this.
I also have no bump and this is my 4th. I am starting to wonder if something is wrong since I showed so early with my last one but I am just trying to think positive. I go see the dr next week
Im 4'11" with a short torso and this is number two. With DS i didnt show till around 20 weeks. Right now only family and co workers can tell I'm pregnant. Others may think I ate too much valentines candy lol

i'm only 5ft and have a short torso. i've always been in shape but i popped at 12 weeks. my doc confirmed it was not just bloat/fat but it was my uterus and baby starting to grow. everyone is different but you cant just say that everyone at this stage, ex/ i'm 14 weeks, is just fat.
This is my first and I'm 13 weeks and showing a little. It is definitely different than just bloat too. Literally, overnight, a little bump popped out.
My favorite quote about this came out from the Kate Middleton blue bikini photos - "one girl's baby bump is another's ill advised burrito". She's two months further along than I am and I'm showing more than she!
I naturally have an hour glass figure, and I'm on the shorter side (5'3"), so I think I just carry extra weight a little more noticeably.
If this is your first be prepared to wait. With DD I didn't have any little bit of a protrusion until 23ish weeks and didn't really pop until 28 weeks. (Pop meaning that strangers could tell I was pregnant.)
Even this time around I'm just barely starting to look larger. Today, in yoga pants and a tight top, DH said it's the first time he's been able to notice anything.
I think other than what baby # it is for you, weight and height play a part as well. If you are taller or heavier, it may take longer for your bump to show. I am 14 weeks and have started to get a bump. I was larger a few weeks ago which i think was mainly bloat!
I was much larger at 8-9 weeks than I am now at 14 weeks. Before it was bloat for sure, but the bloat went down around 10-12 and the belly is starting to just now come back which is a little bump starting to stick out.I am only 5'3 and petite so I figure it has to go somewhere! I can also feel my uterus so, I know I am not "willing" a bump to be there.
Other people of course can not tell or anything when I am clothed, only my husband and myself since we see my body every day. Otherwise, I look like I ate too many donuts or something.

Yeah. This morning at yoga the other woman who was 16 weeks had a bigger bump than the 2 next to me, who were 24 and 30 weeks.
I know for me, my "bump" is definitely bigger if I haven't pooped in a few days.
This exactly. I didn't show with my first until 20 weeks. With 2 and this pregnancy it was closer to 15 weeks.
If it's your first, be prepared to wait for a bump. With my first, I didn't look remotely pregnant until 21-ish weeks.
This time around, I'm showing earlier (I'm 14w1d). Still don't necessarily look pregnant, but I'm noticing changes much sooner.
Again, most of the ladies talking about bumps are either talking about bloat or their on number 2, 3 or more.

Like others have said, every women is different.
This also. I'm 5'4" and started at 108lbs...so on the smaller side. The "bump" has nowhere to hide, even if I have gained 12lbs, lol.
I think you show ealier with subsequent pregnancies, but not everyone does.
Alot of times extra bloating/gas/constipation can make your abdomen protrude, making you show a bigger "bump".
