Still not showing - 14 weeks

jethomson13 · October 2011

Anyone else still not showing at 14 weeks? I am not a heavy person, and am pretty athletic. I'm surprised that I'm still not showing at 14 weeks. What is everyone else experiencing? Thanks.

I didn't "pop" until almost 20 wks with my 1st and I was not heavy and very active then.

I can feel my uterus when I lay down and I'm not showing either. Sometimes I forget that I'm even pregnant. lol Last week I went to get on my bed and didn't even think and plopped down on my stomach like a belly flop...o.m.g.!!! Yep, there's a baby in there. Hopefully I'll show soon so I stop forgetting.

Me too. My non-pregnant self is 5'9 and about 135--so on the slender side--and I didn't show with my first until about 18 weeks. Even then, people didn't get it unless I pointed out my little bump. I didn't get stranger comments until well into month 5.

I don't pop until 20 weeks and it's my 3rd. I can still cover my little bump easily. With my first, I didn't show at all until 20 weeks, my stomach muscles kept it all in.

Pretty much this. Now with the pregnancy I started showing like last week.

Wow, good to know. You all have made me feel SOOO much better. I was beginning to worry, but not anymore. Thanks!

Everyone "pops" at different times. For first time moms, it takes a little longer to get the bump!

If this is your first it could still be many many weeks until you start showing. With my first I was still able to wear regular clothes at 20 weeks. With each pregnancy following your first, you will show sooner only because your ab muscles aren't nearly as strong. Don't worry, you will show soon enough and then you will feel like you've been huge FOREVER!

Yes, this is my first. :0) I guess I will just enjoy what tiime I still have left in my regular clothes and the fact that my stomach muscles are still strong...! Have a great day.

This, except I wasn't active AT ALL.

I am a petite/slender person and just started to really show in the last week or so. I have a friend who is about the same height but thinner on top and who is 16 weeks PG and I am showing more than her! She just looks a little fuller in the tummy than usual but is still very slender and no real bump, so I think it all depends on the individual. I wouldn't worry.

I'm 5'2" and weighed about 115 before BFP and have put on about 4lbs, and I popped at 13 weeks a lot. Every day at work someone has to point out my belly.

I'm on #3 and showing a little, but I can attempt to hide under big sweatshirts. If I wear maternity pants and a fitted top, it's obvious. But, with my 1st, he was so big that my stomach muscles seperated (I had to wear a maternity support belt at the end), AND I had a c/s on top of it - so my muscles are crap.

Mjmksb04 · October 2011

I am pretty thin and did not get into maternity clothes with my 2nd until I was 26 weeks and 22 weeks with my first. It really depends on how you carry it. My uterus tips back, plus I am tall, so I don't tend to show that soon.

katcarls · October 2011

That's normal, you're not that far along. I didn't start getting a tiny bump until 21 weeks with my first and I'm not showing at all yet with this pregnancy.

WildcatPrincess · October 2011

It could be awhile. I was 22-23 weeks before I really had a bump. Believe me, it's a long 9 months, you don't want to be big this early!

It's also hard to judge yourself. I really didn't think I was showing (aside from ridiculous night bloat), but when my mom saw me in sweatpants, she said I had a definite bump. Then once she had said it out loud DH felt at liberty to tell me he had noticed too :-)

Daisy41459 · October 2011

Before DS, I had very toned abs. DH and I didn't notice a difference until 16-17 weeks (and even then, it was Christmas week so who knows how much was baby and how much was cookies Wink

). It wasn't noticeable to my friends and co-workers until 24 weeks or so and even then, I was wearing regular clothes, until about 28 weeks when I had to switch to full maternity clothes.
