Anyone not showing yet?!?

Cjacobson24 · September 2013

I'm 10 weeks and I saw the post where everyone was posting their bellies and mine is not even close! This is my first baby and now I'm worried my baby isn't growing

after seeing the other mommies to be.

avidkeo · September 2013

Try not to worry!!! its really unusual for first time mums to show before about 14-16 weeks!!! some even take up to 20 weeks to start showing! Most of the ones with bumps have already had a baby, or some of them are just blessed to be slim, so are showing earlier!!!! (lucky ladies! hehe). It will happen soon!

Cocomammy · September 2013

I'm not even close either.. Pants still fit! (Snugly)

Kelseyl34 · September 2013

I think most of the showing is actually bloat!

Sisimama10 · September 2013

This is my second and I'm not showing at all yet either. 8 weeks.

KadieA512 · September 2013

I'm 10 wks, pretty thin (5'10 143lbs) and the only thing I'm showing is some end of the day bloat and maybe bigger boobs. All of my clothes still fit and I haven't even gained any weight. We should consider ourselves lucky albeit maybe a little jealous and anxious to see a bump!

kelbel2440 · September 2013

I think most of the posts are probably mostly bloated bellies. I know in the morning I have a nearly flat belly. After eating, or by the end of the day I look 4-5 months pregnant :-) I wish I could say that was the baby, but definitely not!

Cjacobson24 · September 2013

Thanks!! I'm not indulging on junk food or anything so im not bloating actually I'm doing the opposite my husband is on a strict diet so I tend to eat what he is eating and have only gained a pound but first time mommies worry about everything expecially since I have had a miscarriage and it took us 4 years to get pregnant!!

4maddison · September 2013

I was one of the "bloaters/showers" but this is my second baby. My first baby I didn't show till around 16 wks and even then it was a barely there bump. I didn't pop till 20 wks last time.

avidkeo · September 2013

haha, I look 4-5 months pregnant BEFORE conceiving, so not even sure if Im going to show! sigh.

kelbel2440 · September 2013

I wish I were eating junk food to contribute to my bloat bump :-) a bowl of cereal adds a couple inches of bloat :-)

smashton14th · September 2013

This is my second pregnancy and i am 9 weeks. I am not even close to showing but i have bad MS. My doctor also said i am carrying closer to my back so it wont show in the front for a little while.

PaddysGirl8 · September 2013

I am 9w1d and am not showing, well except for the carbs that I was eating the past few weeks and my boobs.

NicoleAnne416 · September 2013

My bloat is there in the mornings on an empty stomach. It literally won't let up at all. I do have a low bump but it's my third and everyone is different!

BR · September 2013

I am 8 weeks and not showing at all. This is my 3rd pregnancy and with my 1st, I didn't start showing until almost 20 weeks.

NicoleAnne416 · September 2013

I think I had a small bump by 16 weeks with my first. Sometimes I hear height/length of torso can make a difference, too.

ksulli · September 2013

I'm on #2 so I have a little tummy now (9w5d), but last time I remember getting dressed for Christmas dinner at 13w and wondering if the day would come that I couldn't shut my pants. I started out quite thin (5'6" size 2/4) and didn't switch to elastic waists until about 19w.

patunia7321 · September 2013

The only thing I am showing is the puffy bloat and my new Mac & cheese food baby.

bootsiebabe · September 2013

Nope. My pants still fit, but they are a little more snug, especially in the evenings. I just look bloated, but probably normal or a little chubby to everyone else.

mjoyoung · September 2013

I'm a slender build and am not really showing yet. I can feel a difference in my belly but others may just think I'm bloated or may think nothing at all. Don't be discouraged!

lyndsey774 · September 2013

This is my second and I've actually lost weight

knotty-girl · September 2013

I'm not showing yet, but I am behind- 5 weeks. I really should be on May board, but initially my estimated due date was 04/20 or 04/21. I won't have a new official due date until my appointment next Wednesday. Also this is my first pregnancy.

In the photo attached that is my belly with maybe a bit of bloat. My stomach is toned but never completely flat so that's not a baby bump. Am I the only one who gets peeved that the tabloids accuse any celebrity without a perfectly flat stomach of being pregnant? "BABY BUMP WATCH!" Um news flash, not everyone has a flat stomach! Seriously this annoys me to no end.

I am excited to start showing though!

sambrownmac10 · September 2013

I'm overweight, so no bump for me at 10weeks. Bigger breasts though.

Luma88 · September 2013

I didn't show until what felt like FOREVER with my first. Probably like 18 weeks and that was if you knew me. Strangers def. could not tell. It'll eventually happen, just takes longer for some. At least it makes it easier to keep the secret (if you want to!)

KitKat1280 · September 2013

I'm so glad that you asked this question because I was thinking the same thing today. I easily zipped up my pants today with a sad sigh. Glad to hear others are experiencing the same thing!

JessicaDanielle0910 · September 2013

I'm on my second, I'm very small built 5'2" very slender and I guess after having the first my muscles are shot, because started the bloat/show about a week ago, my pants don't fit, etc. I think it is very dependedent on your body type and physical condition.

pineconey · September 2013

1) I thought this said "showering" and I thought "oooh! I hate showers! I always gag!"
2) not SHOWING - just cubby as usual

Beckypooh09 · September 2013

This is me at 19 weeks with my first. Don't worry, the bump will come.

strawberrytree · September 2013

Don't worry, I am on #2 and not showing at all. With my first I didn't start to visibly show until around 20 weeks, and I am 5'2" and petite. I actually lost weight due to morning sickness up until week 14 or so. Everyone is different.

At this point it's pretty much all bloat anyway. The uterus doesn't protrude over the pelvic bone until week 12 or something.

fiendelle · September 2013

Totally normal-everyone is different! With DS I was 20 weeks until I noticed, let alone the world...it goes quickly from there though! Soon enough your belly will be in the way of everything, and preventing you from sleep...ah yes, lots to look forward to! \:D/

speechie517 · September 2013

I'm just getting wider and have a little bit of bloat that gets worse as the day goes on, no one else has seemed to notice. A real bump will be nice in a few weeks though.

acrookston · September 2013

I'm 9 weeks and not showing at all. This is my second kid too. I have actually lost six pounds so far with the first tri and so my pants are actually fitting a little loose. I can wait for all the weight gain and the bump because soon enough I'll be ready for it to go away

mommahn · September 2013

Normal! I didn't show at all with my first until 18 weeks and then with my second at 16 weeks but with #3 I am starting to only slightly show. I chalk it up to having #2 only 10 months ago so I'm still carrying some of that baby weight.

Stasi · September 2013

It's completely normal to not be showing, the pictures people are posting are mostly bloat, some STMs might start to show pretty soon, but you've got nothing to worry about. I didn't even get the slightest bit of a bump until I was about 13 weeks last time...

angelaluisa · September 2013

Not really "showing". Just have annoying bloat but no weight gain. Pants still fit.

MapleLeafMama · September 2013

I'm overweight and have "left overs" from my son, so I have no idea when I will be genuinely showing and not just fat.

macof3 · September 2013

Today is the first day I am using the rubber band trick to shut my pants. Im only 7 weeks but this bloat is CRAZY

CHD84 · September 2013

Be THANKFUL! I am so upset that I'm only 8 weeks and I already look huge. I know it's all bloat, but it's really frustrating. I was hoping that I wouldn't start showing until later (like 20 weeks)... I don't like a ton of attention so I wanted to postpone it as long as I could.

AcaAwkward · September 2013

I'm a STM and I can't even pass the bloat off as a bump. I just look like I ate 5 enchiladas.

DemoDoll · September 2013

No one is showing yet. The bump pics you see are bloat and/or guts being pushed up and out of the way. Your uterus and baby doesn't even come up and out from behind your pubic bone until 12 weeks. So until then, no one has a true "baby" bump.

Here are some diagrams:

justright47 · September 2013

This is funny because I feel like I'm showing and have posted a few pics. In reality, don't hate, my fit athletic tummy is gone for the first time in years and I know it's just bloat at 8 wks. I marvel from day to day how it fluctuates depending on what I eat and can't wait for it to be a real bump instead of a food baby:)
