Showing?

in November 2013 Moms
Hi! Okay well I'm due November 4th which puts me at about 5 months pregnant. Everyone always says I'm not showing that much and I'm really not. Like, I have a bump but I feel like I'm not as big as most people are at 5 months. I had my first ultrasound and they said everything looked healthy. I just wanted to know if anyone else was/is like this.

Btw this is my first and it's a girl

    I have two girls at my work both ahead of me by 3 months and every time they see me they're shocked at how small I still am and that I'm in my normal jeans. I have a small bump but they both said they were huge by 4.5 months! However, they're alot shorter than me, I'm 5'8 so I think my baby just has more room to grow haha. I have a feeling people like us should enjoy our smallness for as long as we can!

    Everyone's body is different. Some women don't show until 7 months. Some don't ever really show. It could just be what you're wearing.

    I have shown quickly with both pregnancies, but one of my friends never really showed at all. Even at the end she just looked chubby.
    Another friend was heavy when she got ku and she looked very pregnant but had obviously slimmed down. She came out weighing less than she did before getting pregnant.
    Everyone shows differently.

    Totally normalI am 20 weeks today and got asked last weekend if I was "ready to pop", but this is my third. I am pretty average height and have actually lost weight, but I carry all in my belly. Enjoy it!!

    It'll happen.... The end of the pregnancy is the best part because you finally have a belly to show for what your been excited about for so long or suffering for, lol....

    I'm 20 weeks, and barely showing at all. No one believes me I'm this far along haha. :) I'm a FTM, and lost a lot of weight at the beginning of my pregnancy from getting sick, though, so that may explain some. My mom never showed much either, even right before I was due. My sister is a totally different story, though. Everyone is different.

    Everyone is different, I wouldn't worry. When I was 7 months pregnant with my son, people would say how huge I was and a stranger actually told me I had dropped and looked ready to deliver.  Then someone else would tell me I looked small because I hadn't gotten fat all over (I did gain 40 pounds!) This time I'm showing faster but not gaining as much weight.  I'm ignoring all comments this time, people should think before they speak!

    Randomly, I'm apparently carrying higher-- my bump literally starts just a couple short inches below my sternum and has been that way for a while now-- I think a month or maybe month and a half-- though it's much more noticeable now-- I'm a few days over 19 weeks as well.

    My jeans still button at my belly button and I haven't grown out of anything yet-- my shirts are just a little shorter because of the fullness at the top of my stomach!

    I'm about 4'10 and have a short waist, so I imagine that's why I started showing earlier?

    I'm due the 8th and sometimes I feel like I look pregnant and sometimes I don't. My friend who is due exactly a month ahead of me had a nice round baby bump a month ago. Sigh. In fact at the store yesterday I was buying a bunch of onesies on sale and the cashier asked if I was going to a baby shower. I said no I'm actually stocking up for this one" and pointed at my belly. She still didn't get it and looked at me all confused. So I had to say "I know I don't look all big and pregnant yet, even though I am." After that she goes "Oh, you're expecting? Congratulations." Lol So I guess I am not showing to other people!
