20 weeks and not really showing

STBMrsSJuly06 · November 2010

This is my first pregnancy...I'm just a little over 20 weeks and not showing. Before I got pregnant I weighted about 150 pounds. So I'm not the skinniest person. But I just want to have a baby bump. We had our anatomy scan last week and the baby measured right on target Everyone is like you don't even look pregnant. Should I be worried? Anyone else not showing yet?

As long as your baby is ok, don't worry about it! Everyone carries differently.

you will get there

One day you will wake up and say OMG where did this come from lol. If everything went okay at your scan I wouldn't worry!

23 weeks today and DH said I just started showing last week. This is my first as well. Everyone keeps saying the same things to me as well. Of course, it depends on what shirt I'm wearing as well.

I'm 18 weeks, and while I can tell, I'm pretty sure no one else can. So I'll probably be in your boat at 20. :-)

It's alright w me. Maybe that means the period of time when I'm enormous will be shorter than other people who showed right away and I can live with that!

I'll be 22 weeks on Tuesday and I still have nothing to show for it. I started out overweight, so I knew it would take longer, but I know where you're coming from, it can be frustrating. As long as everything is on target and you had a good anatomy scan, just try to focus on how you WON'T be as uncomfortable (hopefully) 10 weeks down the line as someone who popped at like 12 weeks.

Honestly I totally understand that you probly want to show, but enjoy it while it lasts because once you have this belly it's harder to sleep, it's harder to sit in the same position for long etc.

Rolling over at night is a nightmare for me lol.

i didn't show with my first til 28 weeks. I'll be 20 weeks tomorrow with this one and still not showing.

but when it happens, it's like over night. I'll go to bed with no belly and wake up like "where's my feet!?"

Stranger asked me the same thing at my 20-week ultrasound! If you want a belly, wear tighter shirts. This may sound odd, but I wish I would have jumped in maternity clothes earlier because they accentuate the belly (at whatever size) too (plus, no buttons!). Don't worry!
