20 weeks and flat belly :(

[SaraEmily]

I'm 20 weeks tomorrow and my stomach is still flat! I mean I have a tiny layer of pudge but that's been there since I got pregnant from the weight gain. At 18 weeks my midwife said my uterus is measuring perfectly so I guess I shouldn't worry but I can't help it. I want a bump!
Also, I'm 5'5 and only 105 lbs so I thought I'd show early. Anyone else still have a flat belly at this point?

there was a lady in our church group who didn't show until about a month before she was due. she was also very slender and around 6ft tall. some people just don't show much.
glad you're measuring well!

5'5 is fairly tall. Your baby could just be hiding because you have a longer torso or something.I showed early even though I have a bit of chub because there is seriously no where to go but out.

With my first I didn't pop and have a bump anyone noticed until about 22wks and it just sort of happened overnight. We r the same height and weight

I am 5'5 and was 107 lbs when I got pregnant. Not until week 20 did I show at all. I was afraid because I thought for sure thinner people should show sooner, but I have heard things about muscular abs actually holding back the uterus and baby. At week 20 it was a sudden change!! All of a sudden I got a belly. I just have a little bump, but it seems to grow everyday!! I swear it happens so quick!

Okay well good to know I'm not the only one. It's so depressing because I have a friend who is also pregnant, and she's got a HUGE bump at 16 weeks with her first pregnancy. And everyone keeps commenting on how small I am. Hopefully I'll pop soon, cause I hardly even feel pregnant, aside from feeling baby kick.

I'm 5'5 ...(btw, that's not really tall at all!)but i'm also very athletic. I was a skateboarding chick My abs were def tighter Now i'm just very on the go! Makes me still feel like a lardo being 145lbs!

105-110..you girls are all skin and bones,lol!! Ya, you're more apt to show when you're thinner,but 1st pg's you usually show later.


When I was pg with my 1st, I didn't get the "bloat" til about 5 1/2 months! I hid it from work that long, and no one knew or really believed me! I still didn't even really pop to the point where people could notice my bump until about 7 1/2 months!!!

I wouldn't worry about the bump not showing right now...it will then it will be so uncomfortable you just wish the baby were out already!


This pg, my "bloat" came sooner..about 6-8 weeks. My abs just aren't as tight as they used to be before my 1st, so i'm sure as being second pg too, that's why i'm showing alot sooner. I don't really have the bump in the morning either, it's weird! Only when I eat does it seem to fill up and show my baby bump! I am still able to hide it a bit at work, although they already know this time. It actually seems like in the past week or so it's gotten a bit smaller :/ I'm sure it's just more fluid disappearing. Just scheduled my first prenatal appt for next week, so it'll be brought up, and i'll be checked out.Not worried...excited!!

you should be too!! congrats, and good luck!
