17 weeks, are you missing a bump too?

dreamofautumn · April 2015

I started out weighing 119lbs 5'5 and everyone thought I was going to "blow" with a baby belly. Well 17 weeks on and nobody can even tell I'm pregnant and it's honestly depressing. There's something there in my eyes but at work everyone is telling me how small I am, I've even gained10lbs

People keep telling me how tiny I am as well!! I lost 15 pounds being pregnant and am 18w1d and people are now starting to be able to tell something is there!! One day, it'll just pop!!

I just look fat now! I even lost 6 pounds! I wasn't big to begin with, but all my body is rearranging itself on my tummy and thighs but it doesn't look like a baby, just like too much pizza! It's very annoying!

Same here. I'm 5'8" and with a long torso...I'm assuming that's why I have zero bump

I've gained 5lb but don't have "the bump" I'm used to a toned tummy and it just feels flabby. I can still fit into my skinny jeans though and they make my legs and butt look great so that makes me feel better

You're super lucky @smiversen! My pants haven't fit comfortably in weeks! Most of my tops don't fit anymore either. But, like I said I just look fat not pregnant.

I get this ALL the time! Especially from one person in particular who continuously brings it up that we're the same amount of weeks and she's been showing and you still cant tell i'm pregnant, which honestly kind of hurts my feelings because i can see it and i'm so ready to show. I'm 18 weeks & 2 days and finally have a bump that you can see if i wear tight shirts.

15 weeks and no bump in sight. It makes me so sad and worried. Hopefully things are ok in there - I have my 16 week appointment on the 8th.

@ktewart you sound like my twin! I am 15 weeks and have my 16 week appointment on the 8th. Crazy! I also don't have any bump

I just look thicker in the middle cuz all my organs are moving. Sucks having a short torso!

18 weeks and no bump. I haven't gained any weight but my stomach looks pudgy, but not at all pregnant. I guess things are shifting around. This is my fourth but I showed very late with the other three as well so I think it's just normal for me.

I'm about the same size as you are and with my first I didn't start showing until about month 6. But when I did start showing, it was like it happened overnight! Hang in there!

I was in this exact same position until today...just awkward fat in between stage. However I caved and bought maternity leggings and jeans today and WOW what a difference!! They really emphasize your bump rather than cutting it off like your normal jeans and leggings do. Might be worth a shot just to try some on! I went from looking chubby to pregnant in one shopping trip.

I'm in the same boat. .5'7 long torso and was very fit before pregnancy. Only gained 3 lbs but my stomach looks flabby to me but no bump at all. No one can tell I'm pregnant. I thought I'd for sure be showing by now. . Only good thing is I'm still in all my regular clothes so haven't had to spend $ on maternity stuff!
