Showing a lot or a little?

Boriolebridet2B · July 2010

I am 5' 8" and have always been athletic and now 14 weeks pregnant. And I KNOW all women carry different but I'm showing a lot! From everything thing I've read and been told, tall slim woman usually don't show hardly at all until later in their pregnancy.

Can you ladies post some pictures of your bellies at 14wks so that I don't feel quite so alone. Or the fact that I need to realize that all woman really do carry differently.

Thanks

You need to just realize we all carry differently.

Im only 5 2" and i swear I woke up one morning with this (15 wks. 1 day). One day there was nothing the next.............. The pic is a little stretched cause I have no idea how to size it correctly but this baby wants to say hello to the world. Embrace the bump.

Yes, it's just how we carry. There are other variables like how much fluid you've got, etc. It sounds like we are about the same height and build and I also showed early and am still relatively big for my size (I think).

Here is a photo of me at 14 weeks:

This. My 14 week belly wouldn't do you any good because while I am active, I'm also short and curvy.

And that's putting it nicely... to me you seem a little braggy braggerson about being tall and slim.
You're normal, you're showing (or you have bloat).

Either way, you have to realize you're going to start showing eventually because you're pregnant.

Be nice. She didn't seem like she was bragging to me. If she is used to being tall and slim and seeing other tall and slim preggos with tiny little bumps maybe she feels a little insecure about it . No need to judge. These boards are for support.

Oh geez... You are in for a rude awakening if you really believe this.

Marinewife81 · July 2010

I have a short torso, so I started showing a lot earlier than I thought I should be. I think she just ran out of room sooner because of it and had no place else to go but out in front!

Boriolebridet2B · July 2010

HAHAHA ...I love the pic!

Thats sad. Being a first time mom-to-be I go on here for support. Unfortunately I have found that some ladies on here are out to put newbies in their place and somehow feel better about themselves while putting others down and being rude. I think that this girl was looking for some reassurance and instead she got bitchy responses from women who have nothing better to do but make others feel stupid. Get over yourselves. Fortunately you have just totally turned me off to these boards and probably won't see me post on here again. I have good friends and family who can answer my questions in a supportive, non-judgmental way. Hope all stays well with all of you.

Boriolebridet2B · July 2010

Thank you to everyone who is being positive and knowing where I'm coming from. I'm sorry for those whose hormones have taken over they're body and turned them into a heinous preggo. Maybe you just need to find another outlet to get your unhappiness and anger out.

Have a pleasant and nice day Smile

wow... it's really not that serious.

bye!

IncogNeato · July 2010

Oh, for goodness sake. She didn't sound braggy. People are too touchy.

I'm the opposite end of the spectrum in terms of height - I'm under 5'2"- although I do have a small build (ack! Am I bragging?? Stick out tongue ) and I assumed I would show really soon, especially since I have a really really short torso. Even the nurse at my doctor's office said I had "no place to go but out!"

And yet, here was me at 15 weeks. Go figure. I think the shape of your pelvis and a bunch of other random factors come into play. There's no way to know how/why the bump will show up.

mchupie · July 2010

Lissasue I you

OP, there's a pic in my blog from 14 weeks if you'd like to see.

Mrs.Johns · July 2010

OP I think you just need to take a large dump and your bump will be better in no time.

wife1014 · July 2010

To any of you who are really here for actual support, this isn't where you should be. If you want some good information and ideas along with answers to some questions and laughter, you will find it. So, if you don't like the answers given in this silly post, you probably won't like many of the posts. Most of us are blunt and to the point. Ask a family member or friend, they tend to blow smoke in our asses and tell us what we want to hear. If you want to leave the boards, we really don't care. Just leave gracefully so we don't make fun of you even more.

Tricia879 · July 2010

I agree it could be constipation or some bloating, but we all do carry in our own ways! My friend is shorter than me and it took her awhile to show, she was carrying more inward than out, if thats makes much sense..

Jxm- on the tri boards there is much more drama and bitchiness and mose girls who don't like it prefer to stay on the month boards where its not always like that. I have just always been a *** but I know my hormones make me even more so, so I just give it back and could care less who responds to my posts or what they say.

Mjmksb04 · July 2010

Eh, if you are braggy, then so am I, being tall and slim and all Confused

I wasn't showing at all until about a week ago and now I have a small bump. But when I am dressed, you can't completely tell I have a bump at all.

How 'bout no.
I answered her question even when she already knew the answer to her own question. Screams AW to me.

Lisasue, we are here to support each other and make the slim people feel good about themselves. Hopefully she has only gain .5 pounds by now as well, because she is ONLY 14 weeks.

Like you said, everyone shows differently.

Or, perhaps your 4 tickers for the same pregnancy are causing your bump to grow at an abnormal rate. You might want to look into that.

I think I am showing a lot. But this is baby #2 in 2 years... My friends say I look "great" and like I am "not showing as much as most second time moms" but who knows if they are being honest with me
