17 wks - why is my bump so small?
Okay, so I'm on here looking at pictures of ladies at 17 weeks and everyone's bump is way bigger than mine! Is it because I'm not super small - I'm not big either, so I don't know what gives, but it's kind of freaking me out. My bump looks like a pot belly...:(

Be patient. Your bump will come!
(If it helps Im 24 weeks and am just starting to be noticably pregnant.- Ive seen girlies bumps on here that are larger than mine but Im not bumpjealous. I know it'll be here soon enough and I wont be able to shave my legs!)
I feel the same way. I see 12 and 13 weekers with these cute, noticeable bumps (and it is their first child). I'm pretty petite (4'9") and I'm hardly showing at all.
I know, I know... everyone is different... but still!!

We will always love you, our little angel.
It can depend on your height and your build pre-pregnancy too.
I'm pretty short (5' 4") and I have a really short torso, so I've been looking pregnant for quite a while now. But I work with someone who's a lot taller than I am (and longer torso'd) and only 3 weeks behind me and she's barely showing.
I've only started to show in the last couple weeks and it's still pretty small compared to lot of the other 23/24 week bumps I see.
Don't worry - it will come!!!
Thanks ladies. My husband just came home for lunch and I about started crying telling him my bump is small compared to others I've seen on this site. Then I read the posts and I feel much better, thanks!
The only other thing is that my clothes are getting tight but I barely have a bump, so it seems I'm just getting fatter everywhere else! <sigh> Need to eat healthier and work out more!!!
I keep telling myself that mine is small because I'm tall and LO has more room to move in there before going outwards.
...it sometimes works.
I just got a bump this week!

My bump is pretty small too. I don't have a good expanation of why. I am pretty small and not what I would consider tall so who knows. My last dr appt she said things looked great so I am just trying to be patient and not jealous of all those beautiful bump pics.
