Not Showing at 9 weeks?

in 1st Trimester

I'm starting to feel a little weird that I'm pregnant with my second at nine weeks and I'm not really showing at all.. I see some women with bigger bumps at 5 weeks than what I have. I guess this should be counted as a good thing?

    Be happy =D, You're muscles could just be tighter or you could be carrying differently that other women. Its a good thing =D especially if you are trying to wait to tell anyone

    Most people do not show that early, especially since the uterus doesn't really ascend until 12 weeks. That said, "bumps" at five weeks are really bloat.

    I wouldn't worry. I didn't have a noticeable baby bump until weeks 21-22.

    Even for number 2, I think 9 weeks is still pretty early.  I posted a question on 2nd tri a while back for women who are on baby #2, and most of them said they started showing anywhere between 13-20 weeks.

    I didn't show until 23ish weeks with #1, I'm hoping to hide this one through 1st tri!

    This is my first, but I was also baffled at some of the "bump" pictures that have been posted.  I understand that you can show sooner if it's 2+, but some of the pictures look like the girls are mid-late 2nd tri and they're not even 10 weeks yet.

    I didn't show last time until after 20 weeks.  It was pretty dramatic, too, and seemed to just happen overnight!

    Mine is just bloat/fat being pushed up by the baby right now.  I look more like I did at 15/16 weeks with DD.

    With my 3rd I did not show until 26weeks.  I wouldn't worry

    I'm 11 weeks and I am not showing at all. I get bloated once in awhile, but other than that I am the same. I am still in all my regular clothes.
