in 1st Trimester
This is my first pregnancy im almost 11wks. Should i be worried that im not showing yet.? Before pregnancy my stomach was flat so i figured i'de start showing pretty quickly. Now i guess its a little fatter but im not sure if im just gaining weight or its the baby. I have my first dr. Appointment next week n im worried that they'll say i miscarried even though theres no bleeding. Am i just paranoid.?

    Most people don't start showing until 16 - 20 weeks, especially first pregnancies.  It doesn't matter how flat your stomach is to begin with.

    I didn't show till 18 weeks with my first, and that's if you were really being kind. I didn't really pop until 23 weeks or so.

    Your uterus is not above your pubic bone yet. Everyone's different but I didn't start showing with my first until after 20 weeks.

    It is perfectly normal not to show until a little way into the second trimester! The recommendation for 1st tri weight gain is 05 lbs and that is mostly blood volume increase and boobs! I am sure you are fine! Enjoy being able to see your toes, tie your shoes, shave your legs, and wear your clothes while it lasts!

    In my first I was 20plus weeks before I looked pregnant.

    In my second I was just "chubby" at 18 weeks and well past 20 again before it was visibly pregnant.

    Now at 3 we'll see.

    It is what it is. It doesn't have much to do with anything.

    With my first i didn't show until i was past 20 weeks... Just count your blessings.. soon you won't be able to see your toes, shave your legs (or anything else). I do remember with my first eagerly awaiting that baby belly so i understand how you feel. It will come.

    You shouldn't be showing this early.  When people get a bump this early, they are bloated.  We retain a ton of water early.  I'm sure you're fine.  They will listen to a heartbeat at the next appointment, most likely.

    Most don't show until late 2nd or early 3rd trimester. So no, you have nothing to worry about. Simmer down.

    Enjoy your regular clothes while you can!  No, you should not be showing.  You MIGHT look like you ate a big lunch at the end of the day, but you will likely not consistantly show until weeks 20-30 your first time. 

    I was still in regular clothes until week 24 for DD#1.

    This. Plus you could have a tilted uterus which would prevent you from showing early too. No worries at this point. It's coming.

    My first pregnancy I started showing well after my anatomy scan. Maybe 22 or 24 weeks. Completely normal. And I still ended up having a good sized baby belly in the end.

    I was thin when I got pregnant with DS. I didn't noticeably show to strangers until I was 26 weeks. I was just as thin when I got pregnant with DD. I started showing around 18-20 weeks. Definitely earlier my second time, but nowhere near as early as you seem to think is appropriate.

    Snort.

    I didn't show with #1 until 28 weeks.

    DH could see the bump at 23 weeks, but nobody else could really see it until I was 27 weeks.  I am small and had a flat stomach before getting pregnant, too.  Don't worry! It will come in time!
