are you showing?

njteach0414 · January 2015

15 weeks today...first pregnancy and still feel like i am just bloated. At times i see a little bump but the next day it's flat. Is anyone else around 15-17 weeks and not showing?

werehavingababy2233 · January 2015

As a FTM you mostly wont show till you are over 20 weeks. I was almost 23 weeks before I saw a belly with DD! This time I started showing at 14 weeks. I'm 15 weeks 2 days.

JennyJensing · January 2015

I am an early show-er. Last time, I had a definite baby belly by 17 weeks. This time, I was showing by 12 wks. My doc always says my ute measures about 3 weeks ahead, so maybe that's why? Idk. This is not typical though, so I wouldn't be worried.

ChristyM87 · January 2015

I can tell a difference but I wouldn't call it showing. I am still wearing most of my pre maternity clothes, though some are getting a little snug

GSUDavis · January 2015

I'm 17 weeks and now showing at all. My clothes are just getting tighter. My OB said that because I have a long torso and run a lot, my core muscles might not "give up" and let the baby pop out until I'm around 20-21 weeks. I'm so ready to actually "look" pregnant instead of just feeling fat and bloated. lol

njteach0414 · January 2015

Thanks so much!! My friend is 3 weeks ahead of me and the bump is definitely visable! Just can't wait to see it!☺

GSUDavis · January 2015

Oh! I also broke down and got some maturnity pants yesterday and am wearing them for the first time today. They are a god send! I don't feel like I'm about to bust out of my clothes and they are super comfy! =D

And my boss is actually three weeks *behind* me and she looks like she's easliy a month ahead of me. It's frustrating, but everyone is different.

Kbow91 · January 2015

I'm 17 weeks and just starting to show. I've always had some pudge in the mid section and now that's starting to poke out more since the baby is pushing everything up haha

njteach0414 · January 2015

I ran a lot before getting pregnant and worked out a lot. First trimester was terrible for me and i was always sick. Maybe that's why I'm not showibg as much. Thanks for the info!

kladd7182 · January 2015

I'm 17 weeks and I'm showing. I've been since around 14 weeks. I showed earlier with each pregnancy. My first I didn't pop out until around 22 weeks. One day I was still in regular clothes, the next day I looked like a freakin weeble wobble

dulcesilva1990 · January 2015

I'm 14w+5d and showing

my first pregnancy I started showing at 23 weeks, don't fit in my old trousers anymore, but I don't mind all worth it in the end !

chloemoroney · January 2015

My first 2 pregnancies both boys I was showing by 16 weeks then from 14 weeks. An now with my third I'm 14plus 6 days an not showing at all. Hoping for a girl?

ThisMakes5 · January 2015

This is my 3rd and I was showing by 12 weeks with a little bump. Dr told me it was normal for my age and pregnancy number 3.

Yianna2013 · January 2015

I am 16 weeks and showing a little. No one would know if I didn't point it out.

ipumpkin · January 2015

I'm 17 weeks. Everyone thinks I'm showing, but it's just fat. I do have a little "pouch" poking out that I can't even suck in, but it's so small right now only DH and I can see it when I'm nakey or wearing a form fitting shirt...which doesn't happen often. I prefer hoodies.

Youngwithra · January 2015

I'm 16 weeks 4 days , I'm very petite and I feel the same way! Sometimes I see a bump but the next morning I don't

Amycutzhair · January 2015

I'm 15 weeks and not showing at all. My regular cloths aren't even snug yet. I'm trying to enjoy it as long as possible. Not going to lie I'm I love sleeping on my stomach so I'm soaking up as much sleep as I can.

MCH77 · January 2015

I'm 14w tomorrow and I'm in maternity clothes with people asking (those who are expecting me to be TTC, no strangers yet).

However this is pg #3 in about a year and hopefully my 2nd take home baby. I had a 24w loss in Jan 2014 and 9w loss in May 2014, needless to say that my body just doesn't care to fight it. I'm sure most of it is bloat/fat and maternity pants make it more noticeable, but I'm showing.

mamacas15 · January 2015

Depends how much I have for lunch/dinner!

15+ weeks, some days it "shows" but I think bloat has a heavy influence. I still wear most of my normal clothes, with the help of the Bella Band for my pants. Other days I feel amaz, and can button my pants, but end up halfway through the day putting the band on.

Baby is going to double it's size between 15 to 20 weeks, so the bump is coming!! For now, enjoy fitting into the regular clothes, being able to breathe, being able to touch your toes!

gerberva11837 · January 2015

With my first pregnancy I didn't show until close to 20 weeks. I'm 15 weeks 4 days and I look like I did at 20 last time around. You pop right out with that second one.

jharring · January 2015

I'm about 16 weeks ftm. I just look fat and if it wasn't for progression pictures I wouldn't think "the bump" had grown at all, but it's definitely trying to make itself known. Few more weeks I'm assuming!

lindsaypkelly · January 2015

I'm 15 weeks tomorrow and I can definitely see a difference in my belly (some days more than others) but I have always been very petite so there isn't much there to hide any evidence of baby.

shenry43 · January 2015

I'm almost 17 weeks pregnant and I'm def. showing a lot.

nmo941 · January 2015

STM, showing but I still fit my regular pants....so that's a plus. With my first I was showing around 18 weeks.

kacdanz · January 2015

I'm still able to wear my clothes but cannot button my pants. I have to use the rubber band trick or leave them unbuttoned.

Mrskelso123 · January 2015

I am 14.5 weeks and I'm showing! I've always been super athletic and a healthy eater. My first trimester I was laid out. I was exhausted and the only thing I could eat was bagels so I'm sure that contributed to it. I also have a very short torso so the baby has nowhere but out to go! First time mommy!

agt104 · January 2015

I'm showing a little but only close family and friends notice if I poke it out lol!

Anneski87 · January 2015

I'm 15w5d I just look like I have a bit of a gut.

ohkay · January 2015

Baby number three and still no bump.

gotdiesel2007 · January 2015

Not sure if you would call it showing but certainly can't suck in the fat like I could before. However I am extremely thankful that I was not in maternity clothes at 9 weeks like #2. I'd be happy if I never have to buy them like I did with #1

NicHall · January 2015

I'm 15w6d and some days I feel like I'm showing heaps and other days not so much. I've always had a bit of a tum though. Most days I wake up looking "normal" but generally by about lunch my pants are getting tight and by night time I'm in my lounge pants as I'm too big/bloated for jeans. I can't wait to actually pop instead of just feeling a bit fat!

Handree · January 2015

FTM, 14.6 not exactly showing. I am overweight to start with so I don't know if I will "show" or not. I hope so! I do look more pudgy around the middle and I have been less inclined to hide it. I used to wear nothing but loose flowing shirts to work. Now, I will wear shirts that actually touch my skin on my midsection. I hope I get a pronounced baby bump soon!

NYMominCA · January 2015

14w5d here and in the morning I just look extra flabby but by the end of the day I have a rounded bump

tabbiekat13 · January 2015

I am 15w5d and have had a "pouch" since having two laparoscopy surgeries a couple years ago. However, it is definitely becoming more prominent though some days more than others. I know everyone says about bloat being the reason for that but I don't feel bloated anywhere else so could it just be the baby moving positons making the bump more visible at times? Last ultrasound it was jumping around and moving everywhere! Either way, bump or blump I have been wearing maternity pants for the past month. They are so comfy I don't know if I will ever go back to real ones!

Elieshar · January 2015

I'm 17w5d and with my 2nd and not showing at all. First thing in the morning there's a definite bump but as soon as I get up and shower, it's gone again. Not sure if it makes a difference that my DD is 10 yrs old or not. Not only am I not showing but I've barely felt this babe yet either... Can't wait for my apt next week to hopefully put my worries to rest.

car1081 · January 2015

Yes, I am showing now. I started to show last week and this week others have noticed.

WifeofaComposer · January 2015

This is basically what I look like...

kenziekelley03 · January 2015

17 weeks an one day. An just now can tell . I weighed 116.4 at the doctors today but with most clothes I just look like I gained weight I have to wear a tight tank or lift my shirt to see ! An it's my first baby

mrsbeachcat · January 2015

I'm 16 weeks and 5 days and I'm still in my skinny jeans (I'm a FTM and I'm tallish at 5'9") (although like I mentioned in the Monday randoms, yesterday I had a personal trainer tell me he could give me some great tips to tone up my midsection). I guess I feel like I mostly just look like I had too much Chipotle for lunch. Right now I'm wearing the pants I ordered from Gap Maternity on Sunday (fast delivery!) and they're so comfortable that I might just give up the ghost with my regular jeans... they also have the side effect of making me look LESS pregnant... guess the panel holds everything in?

ETA: I have a wedding to attend in a few weeks and I BETTER be showing by then. I really don't want to just look like a chubster.

zmombie · January 2015

No worries. A lot of first timers don't show for awhile. My first time I was 7 months and crying because no one could tell I was pregnant. I just looked fat... By 9 months everyone thought I was having. Twins... Lol careful what you wish for! Or you may always stay small and it will be easy to get back to pre pregnancy weight. Hang tight.

dizziewizzie · January 2015

15w 1d and I've been showing for a while, though it's not extremely noticeable at work since I wear my work shirt 1 size bigger than what I actually wear and leave it untucked. I've been about the same size for a few weeks now and it just about the size where when I say I'm pregnant people aren't sure if I'm joking or not. It's in my non-work clothes when you can totally tell that it's a pregnant belly and I haven't just consumed an extra large meal. Then again this is my 3rd pregnancy and my Dr. believes that it's normal for my age, height, and 3rd pregnancy for me to be showing this early. Everyone and every pregnancy is different. It will happen when it happens.
