No bump for me either just a bit of bloat but you betcha I milked that bloat bump for all it's worth at the grocery today and the sweet little boy bagging my groceries pushed my overflowing cart out to my car and even loaded them for me in the rain :-)
1st baby I kind of had a bump in tight clothing at 18w but didn't start showing until 25-26 weeks. I'm 5'1" and 100lbs so by 40 weeks my belly was massive and regretted wishing I had such a bump haha. This time I couldn't hide the belly by 15 weeks. We all carry differently and your bump will show up! I swear it's like you wake up one morning and it's just there!!

I'm 18 weeks and barely showing. The only thing tat has really grown is my chest. I've lost roughly 27 lbs give it take since about 5 weeks. I'm Starting to gain it back some though I can feel it!
You may just not show until the very end. Many women don't, and it's fine! Depending on how your body cavity is shaped, you may never get "huge".
I love this thread. I don't feel so alone. I'm 17w and 2d and my "bump" comes and goes depending how bloated I am. Sometimes I look pregnant and other times I don't. I can't wait until I actually pop and don't just look like I eat too much.
This thread makes me feel abnormal. My bumb is very out there and obvious. Im 15w and my husband will joke "can you put your stomach away please?" Lol i told my doctor i look way further along than i am and she said the baby is 2weeks bigger than expected but still i look like im 6months. I love it but im afraid someone will ask how far along iam and be shocked when i answer. Bodies are so strange!
This. Exactly. I've gotten a few looks of absolute horror when I tell people I'm only 4 months along. I'm only 5 feet tall and (normally) pretty petite so I try to tell myself that the babe gots no where else to go... But then I read this thread and feel a bit freakish.

I'm the same as you guys! I'm 16 weeks, petite (at least I used to be before this...lol) and exactly 5 feet tall as well. I am trying to stay positive about it, but everyone at work says hi to me and they just stare right at my stomach instead of my face lol. It doesn't help that the uniform shirt has to be tucked in. I just wonder how big I will be in May if I feel this way now! Apparently baby is making their presence known already... very interesting how different bodies can be!
With my first, I wore regular jeans until 21 week and then it popped! I'm pregnant with my third and just popped in the last week (17 weeks today!). It will come Mama!
I'm 17w&3d, and only recently in this past week I have started to pop. Everyone has noticed and made (nice) comments. FTM as well, but still haven't felt baby move. I guess it's all to do with your body and where the baby is positioned. My little boy is quite high up (midwife said) as both scans I've had and Doppler have been right underneath my belly button.
I'm a FTM, 15 weeks 4 days, and I look 6 months pregnant. It's driving me nuts. Im super bloated and feel ridiculous. I also feel what I initially think is my little guy moving around, but then remind myself that there's no way. I've only had one ultrasound so far and part of me wonders if I'm much farther along. Although that's pretty far fetched as well. I just wish this bloat would go away so I can still fit in all of my pants and not feel so fat while I still can!
With my first and second I didn't show at all until 20 weeks. I'm on my third and just recently started showing at almost 18 weeks. I went from nothing to a hard little belly overnight it feels like lol. Don't worry, everyone is different.
I'm 17 weeks with my third and get super embarrassed when people ask how far along I am because I look at least 6 months. I had an ultrasound and baby is measuring a few weeks ahead (which is normal for me I grow BIG babies).

Same here ladies. FTM, I'm 5'2 and have looked 6 months pregnant for the past 2 months. I also get the same stares of disbelief from people when I tell them how far along I am.
