If you don't have a belly, come in!

Well, I'm 17w today and I still have NO belly?  I'm starting to get a little nervous!! We have not had an u/s because we did not do the NT scan.  Is anyone else nervous?  I just worry about growth.  Maybe I'm just anxious.  Our first u/s is is Monday 12/20 so I can't wait!!!  Anyone else in this boat?

Re: If you don't have a belly, come in!

  • I really don't have much of a belly either.  I think at this point it's still normal, esp with your first pregnancy.  I've had 3 u/s so far, but I still know the feeling!  I'm sure before you know it we'll both be feeling "huge."

  • I am 19 weeks and am barely showing. People look at me like I'm nuts when I say I'm this far along.  Apparently it's normal if this is your first pregnancy. Good luck!
  • I understand how you feel, but it is totally normal. It all depends on how you are physically built. I have known a few women who didn't even look pregnant until they were close to delivering. I am unfortunantely not that type with both pregnancies I showed by 3 months. I am only 5 feet tall and small build but I also look like a whale by the time I deliver. Don't worry before you know it you will be showing off that cute belly bump.
  • with my first pregnancy I didnt start showing until I was about 5 and a half months. With this one im only 16 weeks and look like im about 6 months already. I can only imagine how i'll be when i actually get to six months. Dont you worry all is well in time your little bundle of joy will have you waddling from side to side when you walk.. lol
  • I'm 17 weeks today as well and barely have a little belly.  The people that know me best see it because they know what I usually look like, but I just started a new job and nobody can believe I'm not showing more.  This is my first pregnancy as well.  One of these days we will "pop" and maybe by then I'll actually feel pregnant.

  • I'm almost 18 weeks and I just look like I ate too much.  I feel like my entire office is waiting for a bump to appear but so far nothing.  But I did have an ultrasound last week and there is 1 busy little girl in there.  Maybe i will get a bump for Christmas :)

  • I am 17w and a few days and I am just looking like I ate a big dinner. Not much belly going on. I have had an u/s every 2-3 weeks though and everything has been fine everytime. I am sure you are too.

    Congrats on getting to see your LO on Monday!

  • I'm finally to the point where my doctor bothered to get out the tape measure today - the last 3 weeks have made a big difference. I'm still at the "she looks a bit fat" to everyone else in the world, but I'll enjoy being small as long as I can. It can not be comfortable to lug a belly around.
  • I know I wasn't invited ;) but I just wanted to say that with my first, I didn't show at all (anything more than could be confused with a food baby) until about 21 weeks...and then I grew rapidly...and big!
  • This is my second and I am still not showing much. I work in a very large office and not everyone knows I am pregnant. This week I feel like people have started looking at me wondering if I am just getting fat or if I am pregnant. I really thought with #2 I would be bigger by now.
