everyone around me has a huge bump. But I'm 21 weeks pregnant and look like I'm not even pregnant. Is something wrong??

    Nope nothing wrong at all! I didn't show noticeably to strangers until 25 weeks. Pre-pregnancy I was a size 4 and 5'6. Everyone is different and trust me the huge bump is overrated!

    I was in a wedding at 20 weeks with my first and people who didn't already know I was pregnant couldn't tell.  

    I went to another wedding at 25 weeks and everyone knew I was pregnant.  You'll be there soon.

    My husband says at 15 weeks it looks like I'm starting to show.  I don't agree with him, but then my view is limited anyway.  We're all different, that's all I can really tell you.

    Everyone is different. I have a long torso and am slender. I didn't start showing at all until about 22 weeks. At 27 it looks like I swallowed a soccer ball - it came very fast. 

    Are all of your friends in the same stage of pregnancy, with the same uterus and body shape as you do? Highly unlikely. With a first baby I think it's really uncommon to truly show at all until about 20 weeks since the uterus is tucked tight behind the pelvic bone until 12-14 weeks. A lot of people mistake bloating for a bump.

    I'm pregnant with twins and expected to be huge by now (24 wks) but I didn't get an obvious bump until recently - 22 weeks. It's still not that big and I get comments 'wow, your bump is tiny for having 2'. I have read that you don't get very big until the 3rd tri, not sure if that's true.

    I didn't show until 24 weeks. I only "popped" by 3rd trimester.
