not really showing

[Mrs-N]

ive read some recent threats that they are already showing and people are noticing but im 14 weeks and i dont even feel like ive got a bigger belly.
is this normal not to be showing at 14 weeks.
i want a bump i can be proud of.
when i go into baby shop the assistants automatically look at the belly but they must think im mad as im lokking and buying baby stuff and they must think im not even pregnant.

when will i start showing.

I still just looked bloated to everyone till about 16 or 17 weeks. Then it just seemed to start growing quickly. It almost seemed like one day I didn't have a bump and then I did. By 19 weeks I looked pregnant.

I'm sure you'll start showing soon but when you think your uterus doesn't even come up out of your pelvis so you can feel it till about 12 weeks, 14 weeks is still early to have a bump. Lots of people say they don't show till 20 weeks +.

thank you anit665

yes i guess baby isnt sitting very high ill have to wait for a bit.
my belly feels really bloated and plump but i know its not a baby bump yet.
ive always had a belly even when i wasnt pregnant so i guess it might take a bit longer to show.
thanks again amy x x

Mine stayed down as low as he could for as long as he possibly could! I guess he's just too big now but I'm sure if he could fit he'd still be down there.

I'm 22wks and totally not showing...I am overweight though, so I might not show at all. I'm sure you'll be popping out very soon!

I think it's different for everyone. Personally for me, I wasn't tiny to begin with so for myself it looks like I've just gained weight but those close to me swear that I have the start of a bump.

I know how you feel about going into baby sections, I still feel a bit weird doing that but than I just tell myself you know what I'm pregnant, we only have a few months left to buy stuff so this is what I need to do!

My belly popped at about 18-19 weeks.

Here my bump is at 14 weeks, not much:

I will be posting a photo of my bump now at 24 weeks a little later in the bump thread.

yep im kinda showing but it just looks like fat mostly.
i hate it.

 

[Holldoll]

Even at 19 weeks for me, I was barely showing. I still think that I just look fat, if you didn't know I was pregnant. It will come. Most people don't start showing until after 20 weeks, especially with their first.

 

[Mrs-N]

thank you very much to all of you.
this afternoon i went round a friends house and we were talking about when she was pregnant and it came onto bumps and i stood up and shew them my belly and they said ive definitely got a bit of a belly.
so that has mad my day.
i guess you dont notice as much as you grow steadily to begin with.

I only had a little buldge untill 17 weeks then by 18 weeks my belly was HUGE!

 

[honeybunch2k7]

At 16 weeks I was hardly showing despite being pretty thin. I did look bloated thanks to constipation though.

 

[ab2401]

I didn't show AT ALL till I was like 21 weeks and then at 25 weeks you could tell through my cloths.

 

[glamgirl]

i felt same when i was around 15 weeks etc! But recently i can see my bump getting bigger, i feel really heavy though. I walk funnily as well. You will soon have your bump "mrsnewbury" just don`t worry i was exactly same before.

My OH was gone out of town for work for a 10 days and when he came home he looks at me and says... "You look preggers" I'm not small but I guess I'm showing, felt like it would never happen
