Anyone else not showing at 15 weeks?

ndakhoul · November 2013

Hey mamas to be!

I'm 15w 1d today and I am still not showing! This will be my first baby and I heard you don't start to "pop" until about 18-20 weeks. Any truth to that? Also, I heard its based on weight and height as well. I am 130lbs and 5'6". Any input would be greatly appreciated! I just can't wait to start showing... I hope it's nothing to be concerned about.

Thanks in advance

Everyone is different.

I'm just starting to show. My husband noticed for the first time yesterday, but I don't think it's enough for anyone else to notice yet.

TheRealNJhousewife · November 2013

I am 5'8 and was 123 pre pregnancy...I still have a flat belly, until I eat. I didn't show with my son until about 18 weeks, at least.

lovelylauren86 · November 2013

I'm about the same as op I'm not showing at all either

AmandaFaith · November 2013

It really depends on the person. If it makes you feel any better, I have a friend who is pregnant with twins (her first pregnancy) and at 19 weeks she's still not really showing. If I had to guess, I'd say she's about 5'2" and 110lbs--so very thin.

awknyc · November 2013

I'm also same height/weight as op but also not showing yet. I can still wear all my regular clothes/jeans and none of my coworkers or friends can really tell. I am definitely thicker in the middle by at least an inch or two at most, just waiting to pop in the next few weeks.

Miggg · November 2013

I think it's complete random chance how/when you show and nothing to be concerned about. I am a FTM and looking about 6 months pregnant at 15W 2D. I was not expecting to pop out this early but am just rolling with it. Not much else we can do anyway, body will do what it wants!

coyadlik · November 2013

I don't feel like I'm showing at all. My weekly pic showed me a little thicker last week but honestly I don't really look pregnant. All of my clothes still fit too. We'll get there.

jenb_99 · November 2013

If you've heard that it's normal not to show till 18-20 weeks and you're only 15 weeks, what would make you think you have something to worry about?

busterbeagle · November 2013

Normal. I didn't show until 24/25 weeks with my first.

Pretty much the same for me. I'm 5'8" with a super long torso and a FTM, and I'm very obviously pregnant. I was definitely not expecting to show so soon, but it is what it is.

That's kind of funny, I'm also 5'8 with a super long torso which is why I thought I'd be one of those women who didn't look pregnant till 5 or 6 months. Just goes to show you, have to expect the unexpected with this whole pregnancy thing...

deren1em · November 2013

I am about the same size as you, I can feel it when I drag my hand across my lower tummy but the only thing that really "shows" is bloat I think. After I eat I see people eyeballing my tummy. I just want a bump so it doesn't shrink on and off through the day!

awc1986 · November 2013

I'm only showing to people who know me and know what i look like normally. To strangers i just look a bit chubby.

Marcella05 · November 2013

I look bloated still at 14w1d. I'm sure I'll be in your boat next week, too, but not worried.

goodgalpal · November 2013

I'm very obese. 5ft height, weigh 260. I doubt I will show at all with this pregnancy. I know a cute bump isn't important, having a healthy baby and being healthy myself is. However, I do wish for that baby bump anyway.

LindsayB0505 · November 2013

I'm only just starting to have a bit of a bump. I'm 5'7'' and 130 lbs. I mostly just got "thicker" until about 25 weeks with DD. I have a long torso, so there is lots of room for baby to spread out.

rainydayluck · November 2013

With DD I didn't have anything until 24 weeks and even then it was tiny. This time I was thinking I would show earlier, but so far no real bump.

MrsCaddyshack · November 2013

With my first I wasn't noticably pregnant until 6-7 months. It stinks, because you want to show and have that cute pregnant belly, but sometimes it just takes longer to "pop."

frasey · November 2013

ummm I just look fat. My normal clothes are a bit too tight by mat clothes are still a bit too big. This is no fun, esp we haven't told many ppl yet. ugh. Next wk tho!

RedInLove · November 2013

I'm 14 weeks and not showing yet. I'm 5'4", 135 pre-pg, and haven't gained any weight either. I don't have a flat stomach, I've always had a pooch, but I haven't noticed a change in it yet and my sz8 jeans still fit just fine.

I'm 5'7" with a very long torso and I already have a substantial bump at 13w2d. I seriously thought I wouldn't show forever because of my height & torso length. I'm telling my boss today since hiding this belly is getting ridiculously difficult (and I'm probably not fooling anyone, haha).

springbeduk2 · November 2013

ditto what @RedInLove said ... (exact same size! and also never having a flat stomach!) except I did gain a few pounds so far - 3 or 4 or 5 maybe? though then just had a nasty stomach bug so might have lost at least some of that back. Definitely no baby bump (which is stressing me out even though it really is a good thing since I don't want to tell everyone at school(work) yet) - just look like I just finished a way too big meal or too. Especially late in the day.

LDQAM516 · November 2013

Im pregnant with my fourth and really thought I would be huge by now...I still feel like Iam in the is she fat or is she pregnant stage. This pregnancy is totally different from my previous two...I lost 50+ plus pounds beforehand and workout rigorously...thinking that has something to do with it this time around.

jjtyler · November 2013

I'm also around 5'9...last PG I didn't show until around 22 weeks and then EXPLOSION. I never had a cute little bump...everything just got ginormous, lol. I started at 149 and ended 201 (with pre-e, I had her early). I basically gained 51 pounds in 17 weeks. Not fun.

This pregnancy, I am thinner. I started at 133 and have gained a few pounds but just feel thicker in he middle. My boobs are effing ginormous and I am pretty much in my regular clothes still and I am 13 and a half weeks.

But, if there is anything to be learned...every pregnancy is different. Even with the same person. I have been really sick this pregnancy.

I am guessing I'll wind up packing on the guacamole weight at around the same time. LOL.

wolt06 · November 2013

I'm at 13w with twins and not showing. I just look like a chubby lady with bad acne. Its almost like being a teenager again.

This^ I have a belly and I barely show unless you know I"m pregnant and so its obvious. Otherwise it looks like I haven't been rocking out at the gym like I'm suppose to. I'm 5'6 and prepregnancy weighed 155 pounds.

ndakhoul · November 2013

Thank you for the input ladies! Hopefully my bump along with some of yours shows up soon

Pinkinboca · November 2013

I'm almost 15 weeks & not really showing a bump either

I've gained 7lbs but its not showing in my belly other than a little chubbiness. I hope my bump shows up soon... I'm tired of looking fat!!!

jfletcher3113 · November 2013

My body is weird. I was pretty thin/fit before and have a bump that I swear looks like I'm six months pregnant but, according to the scale, I haven't gained any weight. How does that work? I think it's half fat half baby but I stick it out like it's all baby.

mrstengallonhat1 · November 2013

I'm 15w today and still don't really have anything. I have what looks like a pooch at this point, which just gets bigger as the day goes on. First thing in the am, I don't really have anything. Sadly, my regular pants don't fit because of the bloat, but I can't quite hold up maternity pants. Hoping to pop soon!

Also @LDQAM516 - I am a total name nerd, and your kids' names make me SWOON. Love them!

MinaE01 · November 2013

As PPs said, there is no need to worry. Bodies are different and the way we carry our babies are different. You will start to show in due time!

I looked like a lumpy mess with DS until about 24-25 weeks when I started to have a cute round bump. This time, the lumpiness has started earlier, so I'm hoping the cute round bump stage will happen earlier, too!

shopperliz · November 2013

I'm 15w3d... Original weight was 111 and I'm 5'5" but still no real bump. I've gained about 2.5lbs and just look bloated. I get more of a bump at the end of the day after dinner lol. My butt has definitely gotten more round and clothes fit tighter. My older sisters didn't start showing until 5-6 months when they were pregnant so they've said I may be the same way. I'm excited about getting a bump though

TeaeraMc · November 2013

I'm 14 weeks and 1 day and I am already rounding out but i am only 3'11 tall so it wouldn't seem like average experience to me.

LDQAM516 · November 2013

Iam pregnant with our 4th and hardly showing...medium build...5 foot 9 in and 149 prepreg. Iam chalking it up to space in there and the fact that my uterus is tilted back...baby is on track so Iam not concerned...though it is hard to not think about...especially when people used to comment on how huge I will probably be early on. And seriously, you might wake up one day and you will wonder where this huge bump came from! Our body is weird and so different from the other.

klbetzing · November 2013

Enjoy it while it lasts. You will be waddling before long:)
