Still not showing very much at 23 weeks?

I'm a FTM and almost 23 weeks pregnant.  I definitely have a little "bump" but my sister who is also a FTM and only 4 weeks ahead of me has a definite full pregnant belly.  She looks pregnant, I look like maybe I just ate a really large meal still.  I know that every body is different but it still concerns me, especially since at our AS the tech told us that the baby is measuring on the smaller side - about a week early.  She didn't seem concerned and my midwives haven't been concerned (though they said my belly still isn't big enough to me measured) and at my last appointment at 21 weeks I had gained 11 lbs. which they seemed happy with.  To other FTM's - do you have a very noticeable round belly at this point?

  • I am 21w2d and I am still not showing a full round belly all the time. At night after dinner and such I have a nice round belly. It'll happen I'm sure and then there is no going back! Lol I'm still down at least 5lbs. It'll happen soon enough...my doctor
  • With my first dd I didn't start to really show until 5 months I then became really huge then bigger after 35 weeks. This go around I started showing a little early but still not that bad I'm sure I'll grow more so now that I'm 21 weeks. The baby will star

  • With my first, I barely showed at all. I was measuring weeks behind what I was supposed to be on the outside and had several later u/s to make sure she was growing! I'm fairly tall and thin, and I guess she had a lot of room to stretch out! Be thankful fo

  • I definately look pregnant now and I am almost 21 weeks but I also have a 15 cm fibroid which the dr says will make me look about 2-3 months more pregnant than I really am....great.  I bet you'll get your belly soon, at least everyone thinks the

  • Everyone carries differently. With my first pregnancy, I didn't show at all until past 24w. Even full term, I looked more like 7 months and I was measuring 3 weeks behind. DS was a completely normal size (7lbs, 15oz) even though I was measuring small.

    I am almost 22 weeks and not showing in a full baby bump kind of way yet. I know it will happen eventually. My mom never showed with any of her 3 pregnancies until after 6 months so I am not concerned.
  • Normal. I didn't really look pregnant until I was 30 weeks along last time. People laughed and were like, "wow there is baby!". Up until that point they kept asking me, "where is that baby?!".

  • I'm a first time mom and I have a definite round belly. It's still small, but noticeably a "pregnant" belly...very round and pronounced. My SO calls it my melon belly.

    Every body is different, though! And every pregnancy, too.

  • I'm 22 weeks today and barely showing.  I'm counting my blessings for not being huge.  I'm sure it'll happen soon enough!  I can feel my ute, it's just contained in there still somehow.

  • Same here!! I feel like I just look sorta fat, but I'm not round at all. I got told I have an anterior placenta though, and from what I read that affects size. I just want my bump!!
