Not showing :(

Bwagner91 · September 2013

I'm almost 14 weeks and I not really showing. Is that a bad sign?

Parryt · September 2013

With my first I didn't show until 5-6 months. I think you're fine.

MaDa8 · September 2013

Each pregnancy is different. I mostly feel that I'm not showing either. I'm 14W5D. I mean, I mostly look like I've gained a bit of weight. Try not to worry, especially if you've seen the doc and all is well. That's what I keep telling myself.

saisongbird · September 2013

I'm not showing either. I'm only 10w4d, but I'm overweight to begin with. It sucks. I just feel fat.

JKS21 · September 2013

I didnt truly start showing until closer to 17 weeks with my first. You are fine. Everyone is different!

ceh789 · September 2013

I was overweight to start with and just feel really, really fat and bloated. If I'm showing at all it's a poop baby.

One of the (many) pregnancy apps I have said that this week (14) is when the baby just starts to pop out of your pelvis, so if you're not having much bloat/constipation then it totally makes sense that you wouldn't be seeing much different yet at all.

I'm almost 12 weeks and have no signs of pregnancy. I gained 5lbs but I chalk that up to taking the summer off at the gym. I look at the ultrasounds in amazement bc I don't look or feel pregnant. I'm going to embrace it for as long as I can. My dr said FTM's don't show right away so I'm not worried.

legallyginger · September 2013

No pregnancy is the same. Especially if you're a first time mom, you might not show for a while.

MeggsM · September 2013

I went in yesterday for my monthly appointment and said " I don't really feel or look pregnant" to which the doc replied that's normal at the beginning if the second tri and for a FTM. They measured my uterus and said I was in track and maybe even ahead ! I've only just started to pop. Your uterus begins to rise around now. Oh and I'm 14w 3d. Also did a Doppler and heard the hb.

Also, a little off topic but does anyone else's OB joke about looking for twins at every exam? Mine does and it's pretty funny actually but I think he does it to see the look on my face:) but apparently an old patient who was tranferrsd to his care didn't find out she had twins till the 19 wk scan! And that's why we measure uterusssssseszz (sp?)

Well everybody thinks my bloat is my baby bump but I don't think that counts as showing. Haha

SurpriseAt39 · September 2013

Normal.

I knew a woman who went from fairly thin and I didn't know she was pregnant, to fairly large 2 weeks later. Turns out she was 8 months pregnant.

I'm sure she must have been wearing something to minimize the bump on the earlier date, but it was crazy how much difference there was.

I have also known women who barely looked pregnant at all and were full term.

PerkyErky · September 2013

I'm 14w tomorrow and not showing. I already had a tummy so I am not really worried about it. And last time I didn't start to show until around 17ish weeks.

JAck5209 · September 2013

I'm not overweight but I didn't show until 20 weeks with my first. I grew quickly after that. I'm currently almost 15 weeks with twins and still just look fat, not pregnant.

*Naea* · September 2013

I look like I've been bellying up to the bar too frequently. Ha. I look more pregnant when I am in my bra and undies than I do in clothes at this point. #3 for me and I am smaller than I was with #2.

iheartbooks · September 2013

I just look fat in normal clothes, but I switched to maternity clothes yesterday for comfort's sake, and holy moly they make me look pregnant!

Word. I look weird fat/not pregnant in regular clothes, but maternity jeans and tops make me look super pregnant. It's so odd.

20-22 weeks is fairly normal for starting to really show. Your uterus doesn't even start moving up out of the pelvis till around 12 weeks. I showed around 19 weeks a little with my first, and was almost 22 with my second. This is my third, and I really show after a meal. But otherwise I look a little round.

People who THINK they are showing prior.. it's bloat. It's not a single ounce baby. So, they flaunt that bloat till the real thing happens

Sarah090612 · September 2013

I wish I wasn't showing anything... well I'm not really, but I have a fibroid just under my belly button (10cm diameter) so I have a belly bump but not baby... I already moved to a belly band 8-|

Thank you everyone!! You are all awesome and super helpful!!!

mrsdahamm · September 2013

I'm 14w5d and in the same situation. My belly gets huge after I eat, and I feel like my belly is getting bigger in general, but it doesn't look it during the day.

AshleyO925 · September 2013

I'm 13 weeks and 4 days with my first and have a visible bump that showed up last weekend. My tummy was flat to begin with though.

Katesmith1785 · September 2013

14w6d here and nothing to show yet... Prob gonna be a few more weeks for a lot of us ftm's

LiFeIsAmIrAcLe · September 2013

I don't feel like I'm showing either. I'm almost 14 weeks. I've gained about 6 pounds so far, but I feel like it's gone mostly to my hips and arms.

avigailandcharlie · September 2013

I'm 14 weeks (measuring 2 days ahead) and not showing, at all, unless I am super constipated and have just eaten. This is me today:

edit: okay, I am showing a tiny bit.

parenthood4 · September 2013

I didn't show until 19 weeks with my first. I'm 11.5 weeks with this one and my doctor doesn't think I'll show for another 2-3 weeks. Part of me wants a bump, but part of me knows to be grateful to be in my regular clothes for as long as possible. It'll come!

super05 · September 2013

I really sad that I don't have a bump either. I know one day it will pop out.

DH learned the hard way not to joke about twins! This pregnancy has been harder on me than DS and my belly really popped early and he kept joking it was either a girl or twins. We made it through an appointment w/the midwife, had everything palpated, one heartbeat on the Doppler, then found out we were having twins 3 days later at the NT scan. Surprise DH! He will never joke about twins again
