16 weeks and hardly a bump

allyall10 · July 2011

I have been reading on here about everyone's bumps and been jealous. I am now 16 weeks & 5 days and have hardly started showing. I guess I grew around more than out to start. However, I'm hoping other people are in the same position as me? Anyone not really showing to others yet?

I'm only a day ahead of you and I think I look more like I'm letting myself go than like I'm pregnant. I hear a lot of posters say they didn't show until around 20w. I think it must be pretty normal. I'm anxious to start actually looking pregnant too--but don't worry--it will come soon enough. :-)

I'm 20 weeks, and I barely have a bump. Only my closest circle can tell that I've changed at all. All my clothes still fit as normal. Just enjoy it while it lasts, because it won't be long before you can't tie your own shoes.

There are a lot of factors that determine how and when you show. Your uterus shape, how it decides to expand, placement of the placenta, your own torso and body shape, etc. So relax.

Last time I was 20 or 24 weeks before I started showing. It's much sooner this time, because it's my second pregnancy in a year and I started out about 25 lbs lighter this time.

I'm 16w6d and my bump starting showing about 2 days ago. I still have yet to have anyone (beside DH) actually comment on it, so I'm guessing that although it's super apparent to us, it's not to anyone else yet. I mean, my bump is so small that I can still fit into my pre-pregnancy jeans, if that gives you any indication of what I'm talking about. Pretty soon though we're going to start to say how gigantic we feel so let's just try to enjoy the last few weeks of being small.

I'm almost 19 weeks, and I swear I didn't "pop" til last week, and still if I'm in a loose shirt you can't really tell. Hold on, it'll be soon enough!

I barely have a bump now at 20 weeks and I really had nothing at 16. It will come for all of us though.

I'm only 16 weeks and not showing at all. I'm actually pretty happy about it since we haven't told everyone yet. I think my stomach fat is a little more prominent that it was before, but I look more like I had a big lunch than pregnant. I'm enjoying still fitting into my normal clothes, especially since it's hot in Arizona right now!

I wasn't showing much at 16 weeks, and still could wear most of my own clothes. I'm closing in on 20 weeks and there's no more hiding. I'm carrying all in front so I can get my pants on, but not closed anymore. I am petite though- about 5'4" and was 105 lbs when I became pg. Everyone carries a little differently, so your bump can still happen soon.

Yesterday was the first day my pants didn't fit...and it really isn't a bump, I just look like I ate too many cupcakes but am definitely finally getting bigger. I can't wait until I have a bump so I don't just look out of shape (since a healthy weight and body is one thing I strive to maintain in my life).

I'm showing a bit now, but am pregnant with twins. However, for my last pregnancy I was right there with you. I felt like it was a long time before I actually looked pregnant. Don't worry, you will catch up soon. I had a huge belly by the end!
