27 weeks and barely showing

Sara1259 · July 2015

This baby will be my second little girl and I'm already 27 weeks and I'm barely showing and with my first one I started showing really big by now. Is anyone else the same way and they started to get bigger just in a later time?

There are countless factors at play here. Based on your question, it seems that you might not be familiar with this group or those from whom you're soliciting an answer. Are you concerned about your baby's growth? If so, I would definitely consider discussing it with your doctor. Or are you simply looking for others who are in the same boat? If so, you may consider reading through some threads here. We definitely have some mamas who stay fairly small/bumpless throughout their pregnancies. You may find that you're in good company.

Great answer @LiveNLove44

I am huge. Be happy your tiny. I'm miserable and hungry. Next question.

3rd trimester struggles :-h

Yeah, not having that "problem" at all. I'm as huge as a cow.

Pay no mind to the rude people who know very well they don't have to open a thread if they aren't interested in reading it. This group is for support and all questions are valid. There is no rule that you have to " search" the board for questions. I am hardly showing either. I just look like I ate a large meal. I know it's strange because you hear and see that most women actually do look very pregnant at this stage. Even the nurses at the doctos office are surprised at the size I am, but my baby and uterus are right where they are suppose to be at this point. She weights about 2 & 1/2 pounds as of Friday. Your baby is probably doing OK. You don't went to get super huge anyways. It would be nice to be noticeably pregnant but there are benefits to being small as well. Best of luck and be sure to post whatever you want whenever you want

The past 2 weeks I think my child has moved to my rear end. I swear it's gained as much bump as my actual baby bump at the moment.

I wore a fitted dress to a party on Saturday and while I was getting ready I just kept telling myself that I was a Kardashian sister. That helped a little.

So I'm guessing the word rude is just applied to every comment now. I couldn't even find one rude response in this thread. This is becoming so ridiculous.

Um, Brooklyn? You're being rood.

Yo, if you read the guidelines, it does state that you should search before creating a thread.

Also, no, please don't post whatever you want. I recently came across a thread where someone posted a picture of their discharge asking if it was 'normal.' Like, no. Just no.

ETA: grammar.

Shut up. No. Stahp it. Someone really did that!? That's just inhumane.

MariahOBrien · July 2015

@morganabyrd Yeeeeup! The pic has since been removed (obv) but it was truly horrifying.

MariahOBrien · July 2015

@BrooklynBroussard Seriously? You're such a mean girl. Threatening to report me if I don't provide you with cuddly puppies? Foul. I'm leaving this forum forever and I'm never coming back. EVER.

tate62610 · July 2015

My grandmother was this way her 3rd pregnancy. Her doctors called it a softbelly (I'm sure the term has changed since 35 years ago).

Why is everyone so mean on this board? You are all so rude and uncalled for. Show the puppies or I AM REPORTING EVERYONE AND THEN CREATING A WHOLE POST ABOUT IT!!!

Glad I'm not the only one who throws up in their mouth when they see this headline OVER AND OVER AGAIN!

carlymarie021 · July 2015

@przemosbabe I'm sorry you feel this way. My comment was actually to make her feel better. Not to piss anyone off or make her feel bad. This is not to shame her at all. The pictures and silly comments are to make her feel better about being tiny. I should have used softer words to make you feel better. No one wants to be huge. But in reality if she is seeing an OB and she is measuring fine, then she has nothing to worry about. 3rd trimester is a pissy time for some women. This is a public forum and there is snark at times I'm sorry to tell you.

Kbhunter · July 2015

I'm pregnant with my second girl and I have been showing a bump for a long time now.
Therefore this thread is annoying. ;;)

ems028 · July 2015

I feel so huge right now.

adriennerose80 · July 2015

I think the problem with posts like these is you can't always tell what the intentions of the OP are. Is this a humble brag designed to piss everyone off? Is she actually worried that something could be wrong? Is she nervous about her size and hoping a STM has advice? You never know, but it almost always comes off like the first question and that never sits well with anyone, especially when you're in your third trimester and feeling like a whale, no matter your size.

No offense, but she at the same time posted the same question in the 3rd trimester board, of which I am mostly a lurker. I try to be respectful but I believe this is unnecessary. I didn't answer either because we all show at different times and felt this question was a massive repeat.

My friend told me that our booty's get big for balance. Don't want to get too heavy in the front and just topple over! That big ol' back porch is there to save us! #bigbuttsforsafety

I've had a pretty small/flat butt my entire life...I'm enjoying the perky, round booty I've got right now! Not to big, but nice and round. And DH loves it too! I think you're right though, it it wasn't there I might topple over forward!!

lol " I like big butts, and I cannot lie " song came to mind!

"No one wants to be huge" is probably a true statement, but I think it is absolutely AWESOME to look pregnant and I would think most other women carrying a baby would feel the same, which may very well be the intention of the OP. It's only 10:15 am where I am and already I've had the male barista at Starbucks tell me how pretty my (maternity) dress is and a random lady come up, brush my belly (it's ok if you leave a compliment:) and say, "You look amazing! I miss those days." No one says that kind of stuff when I'm not pregnant (unless I'm married to him and/or they really want something). I wouldn't be doing this for the fourth time if it weren't so damn AMAZING to look and feel like this.

Haha this is so stinking hilarious!!! Unfortunately I feel like I've lost my butt since I got pregnant. I've never had a big one but it was definitely there. Now I guess since my stomach pokes out further, my butt has flattened out.

Katarzyn · August 2015

Everyone carries differently... I believe it's based on the positioning of your uterus .... But if you are concerned I'd double check with your doctor. I on the contrary am carrying average to large and have hippo swollen feet most of the time .... I think swimming helped so much and brought my ankles back to normal and I highly recommend it ... From all the swimming I did in Belize including with the Sharks my ankles, legs and feet were so skinny but the flight back made me have super duper hippo/elephant feet .... The swelling barely even went down the next morning! Ladies remember a few more months and our ankles will be back to normal and we will have a bundle of joy in our arms!!!!
