So I am 15 just a day away from being 16 weeks and I'm not showing. I tell people that I'm pregnant and they just look at me. I look like I've put on a little weight, but other than that no bump. I'm 5' 10" will this make a difference...

    is it your first? 

    I'm short, and I didn't show until after 20 wks with K.

    I'm 5'5" and really didn't start showing until around 18 weeks. I've seen some girls who didn't look pregnant to me at 39 weeks. I wouldn't worry too much about it. I think many people could hide their pregnancies until 20ish weeks.

     Congrats and good luck! It is nice to have that bump there sometimes to remind you.

    yep, agree with PP. I'm 5'6 and didn't start showing until maybe 18 weeks or so with first one? And then it'll just happen overnight - it happens very fast. Second time around I am showing now but that's what they say happens because I have no stomach muscles left:(

    I am 5'8" and didn't really show until about 26 weeks...by 20weeks I was only up 6 lbs and that wasn't even enough to get me into another size clothing.  I never got really big at all either so it totally depends on your body type.

    It's completely normal. Some people just carry very differently. As long as your OB doesn't have any concerns, and baby is growing well, you wouldn't have anything to worry about.

    I'm so jealous. With both of my pregnancies I was obviously pregnant, unable to hide it, by 12 weeks!

    Completely normal.  I popped about two weeks ago with this pregnancy. I went from no bump to huge bump pretty much overnight.

    I'm 5'7 and wasn't REALLY showing until about 21-22 weeks. Here is a link to some of my maternity pics if you'd like to see :)

    I'm 5'7" and not super thin, but not overweight.  At 20 weeks, I just looked like I had a little extra in the middle. 

    I didn't really pop until around 25 weeks.  No one really would have been able to just guess that I was pregnant.  It's different for everyone.  Especially with their first.

    I didn't really show until about 24-25w (I am 5'8" and 176 when I got pg). At 20w I was still in most pre-pg jeans but using a rubberband to hold them together (I did have a few maternity jeans though).

    I didn't really get ginormous (really I did get that big) until 30w+

    Thanks everyone. It's good to know that I'm normal. Yes this is my first so that explains a lot of it. I look like i'm getting a little pudge around the middle, but thats about all so far... :) Thanks again everyone.

    I know it sounds crazy, but I hope that I start showing earlier rather than later! I think it will actually set in that I am pregnant if I have it. Although, I am sure that an U/S will help with that as well!

    This was about the time when I started to show.  I think my clothes were getting uncomfortable, but I was in between regular and maternity clothes.  If you're pretty active and physically fit, it may take longer too since you have better muscle tone.

    I was the same way, wishing I'd show early so that way I could say yes I am pregnant. I am going on 22 weeks now and still not showing. But I can feel baby moving now, so it is nice to feel baby and not have to worry so much the month inbetween ultasounds. Some how I've lucked out and had one every month so far. Maybe because  my Dr can't measure me from the outside and tell me how baby is growing.

    Ditto... didn't show at all until at least 20 -25 weeks.  Then it was very rapid!  Same with the weight gain - 2 lbs in first trimester, then almost a lb a week after 20 weeks.  From what I can tell, I think how much you show has to do more with how long your torso is vs. your height.  I am 5'6", but have a longer torso.  My mother was the same with all her pregnancies and has the same build.
