14 weeks and not showing

azirwas

I don't know if it's normal but I am 14 weeks and not really showing much. It's my first pregnancy and I have always been small. Should I be worried

pinottoparenthood

Normal. No need to worry! Some women don't really start showing until 20 weeks, especially if you didn't gain much weight in the beginning (which is normal!)

Thank you very much!

I'm almost 16 weeks and not showing at all at this point. Some pants are a little snug, but I'm pretty sure I'm the only one that can tell that.

azirwas

That's exactly how I am!

Baby totally hulked out this weekend! 14 weeks on Saturday, and nothing but the usual little blump (I've lost 7lbs so far), and then Sunday I wake up totally bumped out! I can't believe how night and day it was!! Like the flip of a switch!

I started showing only around week 16. I only gained 6 pounds but I think it's just baby, since I'm showing already.

But can you feel your uterus has grown?

I'm prob too early to show (12+2) but I can really feel that my uterus is bigger than a week or two ago.

I didn't show until like 28 weeks with my first. I have shared a pic but don't recognize your name so perhaps you're new. Will find the pic again

This was 27 weeks when I was finally starting to show.

Almost 16 weeks here and only minimal changes... No one can tell I am pregnant still.

Completely normal.  I'm 14 weeks with my second and while maternity clothes are more comfortable I'm not showing at all.  With my first I didn't show until 16-18 weeks.

allaire314 so you woke with a bump?! Did you have any cramps or pain that night? I would be so shocked but geeked if i woke up to  see a bump. I will be 14 weeks Saturday! Due 4/23/15! 

allaire314

@KMJames15 yes!! I one of the many times I got up to pee, I could hardly walk to the bathroom the pain in my back was so intense... then the cramps were so bad (not like RL) it kind of scared me a little... but no blood, thought maybe I was constipated or something. I've been liberally applying Mama Butter, but I ended up with a stretch mark, but it isn't terrible.

allaire314  wow! This is so crazy (FTM)!!!! Im so excited tho! Thanks for clarifying!!!

I tend to carry my babies more inside instead of out so I don't show until the last 12-14 weeks.

allaire314

@KMJames15 I'm a FTM too! Was shocked, but it's so cool to be showing!!

Yes it's normal. With my first I barely showed until I was 6 months pregnant.

allisshiney

Totally normal.

I've gained about 10 pounds now, and have a nice blump going on. I still can't feel my uterus, and at my last appt a few days ago, the baby is still tucked in my pelvis. I'm almost 17 weeks. I'm assuming I won't have a real baby bump for a while still.

@NachosAndPeaches that is such a cute baby bump, I think I won't start showing either until like week 20 or later.

@Nachosandpeaches Are you showing sooner this time around?

I am 16 weeks and I feel like I look ultra pregnant today. It may be my shirt, though- it makes me look a little pregnant when I am not pregnant.

That said, I have a bit of a belly but look bigger/smaller on different days.

Yes, same here! I've noted that some days I don't look pregnant at all, while other days I look 6 months pregnant!!!! I think it varies a lot with intestinal gas and bladder status. I'm looking forward to just having a consistent bump.

Not yet, but I also started this pregnancy at least 5 lb heavier than DS's. I am 13 weeks and do have a major blump because I haven't pood like at all, but I had a blump last time for a couple weeks too. I remember going to Disney at 15 weeks with two girlfriends and looking so pregnant in the morning, and then had nothing after i pood lol. I think once you can't suck it in then it's a real bump and I'm not there yet. But boy it feels good to not suck it in!

I can't suck mine in ,but I'm still convinced it's mostly chub haha. I have been gaining pretty quickly though :-(

For anybody curious, I just pooped. (Super important information I know). You may now carry on your day without any more suspense

I just want you to know that I thought I was going to push all of my organs out last night when I tried to poo. The build-up of gas has caused any sudden moments to be incredibly painful all day. Also, cramps. Let's not forget the cramps.

Everyone is different with my first I didn't show till about 5/6 months, with my second about 4/5 months, only a little. With my third, it just popped out right away, here is me today 13 weeks 5 days. I was this big at over 20 weeks with my first!
