Is anyone else still not showing?

TRS48 · January 2014

After looking at all of the cute bumps on HDBD I'm a little jealous I still have no bump whatsoever... well besides my little "pooch" that I've always had. At least 3 people this week commented that I'm "still not showing yet"... ugh. I know its not a big deal but I really am tired of just looking pudgy and not clearly pregnant. I thought by 14 weeks with twins I'd have something to show? Is there anyone else out there still waiting to pop? Could it be that tall women just take longer to show? Please tell me I'm not alone.

I finally have a tiny, tiny bit of a bump at 18 weeks. But to someone who doesn't know I am pregnant, I think I just look bloated.

I totally understand feeling jealous/frustrated because questions like "are you sure you're pregnant?!" start to get really annoying. Rest assured though, especially with twins, you will get a big round belly and have random strangers looking at you like you are a ticking time bomb before you know it! ;-)

Not showing but I can feel the bump under my fat pouch

AnnaMPAdams · January 2014

I have nothing either. I'm still wearing all my regular clothes. This is my second, so I expected to show earlier but nope! I'm sort of glad though, because I don't have a lot of very dressy work clothes (suits and such) in maternity sizes. I'm trying to go as long as I can without switching over!

ETA: spelling

Could be a tall thing..Not so much early on but after 20ish weeks or so I think it's possible. That's what I and my doctor blamed my lack of a bump on. I didn't show till 6 months with my first pregnancy--didn't really "pop" till 8 months, literally, people still tell me how crazy it was me not being noticeably pregnant so long--and this one is following that trend thus far. I don't even tell ppl I'm pregnant because I don't feel like hearing the comments again. They get old fast. But when I'm laying down, especially on my side with a full bladderI can definitely see/feel my hidden bump of a uterus has moved up slightly past my belly button and has been in that region a few weeks--So it seems I'm growing up just not out.

I'm wearing maternity pants to be comfortable with the bloat, but it's still just the pooch thus far. I was a tad overweight to begin with, so I'm blaming it on that, It makes me sad though, especially with the HDBD board, and I won't post a picture. I don't think it's a tall thing- I'm 5'3". It makes me really, really sad though.

Dude. I got nothing. I'm laying on the couch right now rocking a bikini bridge in my low rise yoga pants..... It may be a very low bridge, but it's there. And I just ate dinner.

I am super bummed because I was hoping since I'm a lot smaller this pregnancy weight wise that I would see a bump sooner and be "pregnant" sooner..... But no luck. I'm even in my pre pregnancy skinny jeans. Still. I'm almost 17 weeks!!! What the heck!

I am 5'9 though..... So maybe the tall has something to do with it? Or the twins are saving. All of it. And you're going to wake up one morning and BAM- what the hell happened to TRS48?!!! Her bump is ginormous!!

The pre-preg skinny jeans part... I too was hoping for a bump sooner this time around...Grrrr... But I second the waking up one day and "thar she blows"..

I thought I was showing until I started my classes and I told people how far along I am (16 weeks) and everyone kept saying how I don't even look pregnant. I guess I'm the only one who can see the bump or i'm just looking pudgy.

TricksyPixie · January 2014

I'm wicked fat, so no. I'm not showing. But I can feel my belly underneath the layers of fat.

alohababy14 · January 2014

I'm only showing at night. During the day, I just look bloated. I can feel a little bump there when I press on my abdomen, though!

EllaSmella · January 2014

I didn't show until close to 24 weeks with my first. It took until about 28 weeks for strangers to notice. I was a little bummed out, but ultimately I meant I didn't get really big at the end so was maybe a little bit more comfortable than I would have been otherwise. This time, I am a bit bigger than last time, but at nearly 17 weeks, I only have a little bump in the evenings - nothing in in the AM at all.

lamarei · January 2014

Not showing either

I'm overweight, so I knew I wouldn't have a cute bump to post.

lowerygirl · January 2014

I'm not showing either.

More than ready to have a bump!

TRS48 · January 2014

Thanks ladies! I am so glad I'm not alone in being "bump-less"! :-?

kellbell440 · January 2014

This is my life every day. I think it's an anxiety thing for me at least. I obviously know I'm pregnant but until I can see or feel something, it doesn't feel real still. I want a bump!! These HDBDs are bumming me out a little.

TugboatSheila · January 2014

I have to wear maternity pants now but only because my uterus has relocated all my fat. When I'm out I put my hand on my fat so people know I'm pregnant. Because, I'm THAT girl.

I was average size before getting pregnant but the way my body is shaped and where I hold my weight... Does not translate very well yet. My mom bought me a pair of medium maternity pants and there is that part where the fabric ends and the stretchy maternity part begins... which creates a sausage casing style muffin top. I guess I need large maternity pants.

jjess1201 · January 2014

Im not showing either! Im 15w and dont look any different. Still wearing my regular clothes but some of them are a little more snug.

loupgarou · January 2014

Not just you! I'm in the exact same situation. I turned 14 weeks with twins today and my ever-present pooch has gotten a little bigger, but I'm still in regular clothes and just look bloated. One of the other girls here at my office was 15 weeks yesterday and she's got an adorable little bump. I just chalk it up to every pregnancy and everyone's body being different.

TRS48 · January 2014

@scav13 that made me laugh.

Heather100612 · January 2014

I'm 18w3d and some days I feel like my bump disappears, but then the next day I feel huge. I don't know if I still have some bloat going on (I guess it could be possible even though I though that phase had passed). I'm looking forward to when my bump gets a little rounder/defined.

ashleymarie1027 · January 2014

17w2d here and no real bump, also 5'9" and a pretty active exercise routine... Only up 5 lbs, Still in my skinny jeans and definitely forget that I'm pregnant often; especially since I haven't had any real symptoms at all so far, except for now I actually fill out my b-cup bra

Waiting for the day I get to post an hdbd pic...

Csltdk · January 2014

I'll be 18w tomorrow and I feel like I have a bump and my DH thinks so too however everyone tells me it looks like I just are a cheeseburger and there's NO WAY I'm that far along. Grrr

tealowl · January 2014

I'm 15 now and just bloat really. I had a tummy pooch too so the bloat is just making that stick out more. I did have some ab muscles going from being at the gym so much, so maybe thats holding it all in!

When I lay down now I can feel a hard ridge/bump? It's more pronounced in the AM when I wake up.

SuperTinkerham · January 2014

I just look fatter. I have one shirt that is my favorite now because it makes me look more PG.

ARCory · January 2014

This is my third baby and I don't have anything other than the small pudge I had to begin with. I do have an umbilical hernia thanks to DS #2 and it's starting to get sore. I guess bc of my uterus growing. Ready to look pregnant as well.

I'm overweight so not not "showing" in the traditional way, but my tummy is sticking out in all kinds of weird ways! The largest part of my bump is way up high, right under my boobs, I guess where all my organs are starting to push upward. I still have a waist, though it is expanding, and then a lower tummy pooch that is really firm under the chub. Maternity tops are my best friend, especially the ones that tie under my boobs. They may not be super fashionable, but I look unarguably pregnant, and not just tubby!

This describes me perfectly! I'm 17w6d. I can't wait until I actually have a bump.

marathonmom823 · January 2014

I'm 18w3d with baby #2, and nothing here yet.
I didn't pop with DS until 25 weeks, and even then you had to look pretty hard. I wasn't getting the definitely preggo look until around week 30. I remember talking to the guy who did our home inspection and being about 32-33 weeks along. He asked if we had kids, I told him one on the way and that I was due the next month and he just looked at me an said, I thought you were only like 3 months pregnant. Made me feel good!
