ok, so the posts about people not looking pregnant at all are depressing me. I'm 15 1/2 weeks, and i definitely have a belly. some of it is still bloat i think, but i definitely look pregnant and have been wearing solely maternity clothes for at least 2 weeks at this point. i have only gained about 5-6 lbs., but i feel like a moose after reading all the posts about people who don't look pregnant at all.
Re: anyone 15 weeks and look pregnant???

that's what i'm going to be telling myself. that i had a flat tummy... :-)
i also have a very short torso so i think that might have something to do with it too....
I think my bump has been getting visibly bigger the last couple of weeks. Today I actually wore a fitted sweater and the girls at work commented on how cute my bump is. I am pretty tiny normally, so for me any bump is visible. I can still tell by the end of the day that I am a little bloated, but the bump is definitely still there in the morning (not like in first tri when it was gone when I woke up).
Not just you hun, I have been wearing a be-band now for about 3 weeks because none of my pants fit. Everyone's body is different and will show differently at different stages.
::raises hand::
I won't even tell you how much weight I have gained but it's more than 6 pounds. And I definitely look pregnant. I'm pretty sure I'm birthing a small gorilla at this point.
I'm really short (4' 11") and I think that's why, LO's HB is found right under my belly button on our doppler. I was wearing my bella band and dresses until yesterday when I wore maternity pants for the first time. They were so comfortable and I'm not turning back.
I am still 5 pounds under my pre-pregnancy weight.

Everyone is different. I didn't gain a lb until 16 weeks (and was still in all my normal clothes) and now at 23 weeks I feel HUGE and am up 15 lbs.
Yes I look pregnant too
ETA: I have only gained 5 lbs so far in this pregnancy -- so it isn't that I have gained too much either!
Okay. This totally put a smile on my face :-)
I've gained 5-6 pounds too and I FEEL huge. I know a lot of it is in my head, but I definitely have a little bump going on. I suppose it doesn't help that I'm only 5'1.
I feel like maternity clothes are right around the corner.
