Not growing?

charcharxcharcharx member
in 2nd Trimester
I am now 26 weeks and my bump doesn't seem to have grown atall in the last 6 weeks, I was abit worried as a FTM and don't know if this is normal. It's not just me, I have friends as family commenting on this aswell. I still feel movement and kicks which is obviously a good sign. These are my 20 and 25 week pictures..
I know that the bump changes when you eat and things but I would have thought that in 6 weeks there would be a noticeable difference..

    The size of your tummy is just your uterus bulging out at this point.  When your baby gets bigger and starts taking up more space then your tummy will get bigger also.

    I'm also a FTM and was 20 weeks on Friday.....my belly is like HALF the size of yours at 20 weeks (and I'm overweight) so maybe your belly at 20 weeks was still a little bloating of their things of that nature and what's happened is swelling and other things (organs) are better situated and what's really happened is your belly now at 26 weeks is more baby? Hope I was able to make sense there. But I feel the same way. Feels like my belly really hasn't grown in the last 4 weeks. I just chalked it up to organs shifting and slowly being crushed by our babies. Haha. Also. As FTM our abdominal muscles haven't been damaged and therefore hold baby back much tighter and longer than in the subsequent pregnancies we will have. I really wouldn't worry! Baby seems to be doing ok if you're still feeling movement!
