Where is my bump???

So I've been waiting anxiously to hit the 20week mark and now that I have, I feel like my bump is getting smaller??? Anyone else notice anything similar? I hear sweet babies hb last night so I know she's in there I'm still not feeling any significant movement and I don't have my next appt until the 24th. UGH! I feel like I've been stuck in the "is she fat or pregnant stage" for far too long :

I need some reassurance!

  • It can take a while with your first. I didn't show until after 30 weeks. :) It'll come I promise!

  • I had a smaller bump at 20 weeks than I did at 19 weeks (thank you, weekly picture...). I talked to my doctor about it, and he said more than likely baby either repositioned, or more of my pregnancy bloat has gone down. I wouldn't worry about it,

  • I looked semi pregnant at 20 weeks, but at one day shy of 22 weeks, I definitely look pregnant today. I was surprised when I looked in the mirror today. Guess since I'm short with a short torso, lo has nowhere left to go but out, lol. I'm a ftm also. Don

  • I'm still at the chubby stage at 21 weeks.  if you didn't know me you wouldn't know I was pg but people that know me can tell I have a little bit of a bump.  I want it to pop but at the same time I won't because I know the bigger you are the mor

  • You can have some of my bump. Wink

  • It took a long time with my first. I was so impatient to get a bump. Looking back, I didn't even really look pregnant until 26-28 weeks. I didn't pop until the last month. This time, I look 28 weeks already! And of course, I'm longing for a smaller b

  • It's normal to not show for awhile as a FTM.

    How long is your torso? If you have a long torso, she has plenty of room and it doesn't go out quickly.

  • Some days I look big some days I look small. I think it really depends on bloat and baby positioning. After about 30 weeks plus, I promise you won't ever look "small".

  • Last pregnancy I never really got out of the "is she fat or pregnant stage" and it got even worse near the end.

    :(

    Needless to say my prime bump time was from 28-36 weeks.

  • What I am wearing makes a huge difference between looking fat and looking preggo. Don't fret- maybe dress up the bump a little to emphasize it?

     Also, I'm 21w today, and last Wed was the first day I actually felt pregnant. And not really i
