Anyone 5 and 1/2 months or so and still not noticeably preg?

bumble42 · December 2009

That's me. I was just wondering if or what others were in this boat. I know everyone is different, but I started out overweight and thought I'd be absolutely huge by this point since I've always had issues with my weight, but no, I've got the tiniest little bump. I was only about 10 lbs or so overweight, but I can put on weight very quickly and easily usually, so that's what I thought I'd be doing. Hmmmph... I'm kinda glad about it, though I do want people to actually know I'm pregnant.

It depends on the angle you look at me. lol

Me! Me! I'm 25 weeks (maybe 26?) and got nothin'! I was about 30 lbs overweight to begin with (had lost 40, but had some to go), so I feel like I've gotten fat again so far as how my clothes fit, but my tummy is barely bulgier than it was when I was fat.

I am almost 5 months and barely showing.

lindsaynjason · December 2009

I'm carrying small and high at this point. Everyone says I don't have much of a belly at this point and I agree. There's a little bump to see, but not much. Even DH commented today that "I thought you were supposed to have a big belly when you're pregnant?" I've still got 14 weeks to go... I'm sure it will come.

I'm an average size, about a size 4 PP, and haven't really shown at all until recently. I got my very first for real stranger comments yesterday, 5 of them all in the same day, and I'm almost 27 weeks! Hang in there!!!

I'm showing now, but with my first pregnancy, I was barely showing at five months -- and I'm not at all overweight.

Um, you're barely four months, not almost five.

Prior to 27 weeks I still had a flat stomach.

Alex17 · December 2009

I wasn't noticably pregnant until after 26-27 weeks.

I am a small girl 5'1 and 110 lbs and only just recently began to show. Over the last week I have really popped. I am clearly pregnant now from the side and front. From the back I still look normal.

I this this is annoying, I had posted a while ago and some people would say that I'm 5 months, other would say 6 (going by what I'm at now). Going w/ the rational that while your in your 5th month you say your 4 months that would mean your first 8 weeks you'd only be 1 month pg and you'd never be 9 months pg. I go with every 4 weeks = 1 month, plus the little heart in my ticker is just past 6, that means 6 months to me

18 weeks

See, I count back from my due date, so that I'm five months pregnant as of 11/27, or when I was almost 23 weeks. So now I would say I'm just over five months, and I think it's misleading when other women call themselves six months at 24 weeks even though we still have almost four months left to go.

I just look chubby. Sad

If this were a good indication of how many months along I'd be telling everyone I'm 8 months pregnant. Since I have 8 weeks left, that's obviously not the case. Unless we're on a 10 month calendar, which is another way to date pregnancy.

I just "popped" in the last week....I am not noticeably preg. until then. Don't worry (not that you are worried) you will pop before you know it GL

My pregnancy book lists the "fourth month" as being from 14-17 weeks. The "fifth month" as being from 18-22. I count from the beginning, not the end.

That's true, but it still means you're not five months until 22 weeks. Being in your fifth month means you're approaching five months, not that you're already there.

It's the same as saying I'm in my sixth year of marriage since we had our fifth anniversary in October.

This is why it's just better to go by weeks. lol.

Ok, I debated it with myself in the shower for a while and decided you are right. Conception in August means 4 months just now. It all makes sense (finally!!).

I'm 21 weeks and some days, was not overweight to begin with, and no one can tell that I'm pregnant (well, I can definitely tell!) People keep telling me, "you don't even look pregnant"... like I'm making it up or something.

melpoteet · December 2009

I'm 27 weeks pregnant and sometimes I still think I just look a little pudgy.

I get the same comment! Today a coworker asked how I was feeling, I said "great" and they replied that they didn't think I was even having a baby. It would nice to have a bump just to get them to shut up!
