not showing

sgagnonsgagnon
in 2nd Trimester

I am starting to get nervous because I am 16 weeks pregnant today and I really am not showing. I am a petite person.. but I am starting to think something is wrong.  It mostly just still looks like I ate a larger meal.   I have a pregnant and fit class and everyone that is around my time definitely shows. 

Anyone else in the same boat?

    Seriously?  Come on.  Not everyone shows at 16 weeks, you're obviously just thin still

    You'll find a lot of ladies on this board in the same boat. I am 17 weeks tomorrow, and honestly barely showing. If you didn't know I was pregnant, you'd wonder if I just gained weight Indifferent I asked my doctor about it today at my appt and she said it's totally normal. She said in the next month things should change and I'll definitely start to notice soon.

    No worries. Everyone is different. Just think....the less you gain the less you have to work off later! You will get your bump before long. :)

    I didn't start "showing" until 20 weeks. And at 25+ weeks I'm having people who know me come up and ask if I'm pregnant.

    Don't worry about it.

    For where you are this sounds about right. With my first pregnancy I didn't show till about 20-21 weeks. I'm petite as well. With this pregnancy it became clear to others (who don't really know me) this week.

    I'm showing now... At about 22 weeks. Don't worry. You'll pop some day!  I really didn't "pop" till about a week or two ago.  I'm not really that petite, 5'4 125lbs pre prego... but I'm not a large lady either.

    See bio for 17 week pics with my son.  Not showing at all.  I am slightly bigger this time, but no one who doesn't know I am pregnant has a freaking clue.  I am tiny too - 5 feet even, 96 pounds pre-pg.  Your size really doesn't have anything to do with how you carry.  You will look pregnant soon enough - nothing is wrong.  Promise!

    No worries :)  I'm 18 weeks today and not showing.  Most everyone here will tell you that they didn't show until at least 20 weeks.

    I am going on 18 weeks and I still just look bloated.  It looks just like when I was about to start my period except now it is 24/7.  The doctor said it is very common with your first.

    Enjoy it while it lasts! I wanted to so bad to so and now I'm ready for LO to be born and look normal again. I have a bump progressionmy bio  in  starting at 15 weeks-19 weeks-24 weeks, I was still not showing much at 15 weeks. I didn't really pop until 18-19 weeks. Were you really sick in 1st tri? A friend of mine was sick in first tri and at 20 weeks still hasn't popped.

    I was going to say there is a girl on here who is 8 weeks ahead of you and still waiting to show! Everybody is different on when they show.

    Don't worry at all... I'm a petite one too and I wasn't showing for the longest time... I'm really started showing till finally I just popped out at like 22 weeks..now I'm 24 weeks (5 1/2 months) and now people are just started to say.. omg your pregnant I didn't know... and I was like sweet.. and I only have 3 1/2 more months to go.. plus just lost 2 pounds... so Idk.. I wouldn't worry at all.. every person's body and pregnancy are different.
