Some women don't start showing until they are close to 6 months along. Most-likely nothings wrong, but if you're really worried, then ask your doc at your next appt.

20 weeks with baby #1.
Started showing around week 15 :)

Answer 2

If this is your first you shouldn't expect to really start showing untill closer to 20 weeks. Be patient you have a while to go.

Answer 3

I am in my 19th week and barely showing, just started to have a little pooch and if a person did not know me they could not tell that I am preggy, I still go to the pool in my normal bikini undetected. I know how you feel though, I am getting impatient myself...I want to actually look pregnant!But I think a lot has to do with the fact that your body is still nice and tight with your first pregnancy and that the belly takes a while to show. Also, I am not that sure but maybe your prepregnancy weight and shape has something to do with wether you show earlier or later... everyone is different. I have always been petite and thin, so I am not sure if that is why I don't show yet at nearly 5 months?!?! Hey, but as long as your doc says that everything is fine with the baby, then don't worry so much about it, the belly will be there before we know it and I don't know about you, but I will be happy not havin to stick out mine on purpose anymore LOL :-)
Good luck to you and congrats !!!

Answer 8

it depends on the person for some people it can take up to 5-6 months for it to show, also depends if it's a big or little baby.i was tiny when i was born.

Answer 9

Everyone shows a different times. Don't worry, unless the baby is not moving. Then if so Check with your Doctor right away. God bless you and your baby.

Answer 10

There is nothing wrong stop worrying. Some women show early and some don't. With my first I didn't start showing until I was around 5 months. It's totally normal RELAX!!!!!

Answer 11

NO- most woman get just a small "pouch" until they get to around 20 wks when the baby is fully grown and just starting to put on weight and continue to grow!
However if this is your first pregnancy then you may not show until much further along. I weighed 100 lbs when I got pregnant for my first and I only appeared as if I swallowed a basketball! So not to worry, when you are with your doctor the next appt be sure to ask him about it.

Answer 12

I ddin't show till I was 4 or 5 months preg. It's ok, it's just how your body is. Love the fact that you don't have to buy the clothes that are bigger than you ever thought you'd be caught dead in. You'll get there, and then you'll glow. Congrats!

Answer 13

No

Answer 14

Answer 15

Absolutly nothing to worry about. if you are fit and healthy there is a good chance you have nice strong ab muscles and they are holding everything in place nicely. If you are carry extra weight you may not notice any change for a while yet. my first i didnt show till 5 months, second i didnt show till 4-5 months and this time was about the same. enjoy still being able to fit into your normal clothes while you can, by the end you will probably be glad to get rid of the belly.first babies usually show later anyway.

Answer 16

not to worry your size and the babys size are a fatcor.when i got p.g. with my daughter i was 95 pds. i stared showing middle to late third month of preg. with my son i weighed 108 and didnt show until into my fourth mnth.

Answer 17

I'm rather large framed and began showing at five and a half months. If you are really worried about it, talk to your doctor.

Answer 18

i did not start showing until i was 5 months. dont stress its ok

Answer 19

Missy I am a forty year old women who has had two live births.

If you are eating right and excercising doing your what your have always done then be glad you don't have stretch marks or a big Jaba the Hut belly...

Answer 20

If it's your first baby, one usually doesn't start showing until the 2nd trimester. Your doctor would have told you if there was anything to be worried about.

Answer 24

It's normal. You will probably start to show when you are in your 5th or 6th month.

Congrats!

Answer 25

Most women dont start showing until they are 4-5 months pregnant...Be patient, you have a lot to look forward to.

Answer 26

youre only 3 months pregnant, relax, most people dont start showing until around 5-7 months

Answer 27

The average is about 15-16 weeks. I needed maternity clothes at 14 because I wear tight jeans but no one noticed!!

Answer 28

You should remember this moment, because when you are in the 7th-9th month that's when you will be going down memory lane,remembering when you had a flat tummy.There is nothing wrong, as the baby grows so will your belly.

Answer 29

You shouldn't be showing yet. With my first I didn't start showing until I was five or six months. With my second I started showing at 3 or 4 months. Everything is fine, if you are still concerned I would call your doctor. You are only supposed to gain 1 lb in your first 3 months.

Answer 30

Nope. Right now your baby is probably barely an inch long so no wonder you're not showing yet. It also has a lot to do with your pre-pregnancy size and shape. Many girls, including myself, who are slim and petite don't start showing until months 5 or 6 and then it looks like they swallowed a basketball. Other girls don't ever show mainly because they were larger to begin with. Some people show right away. That's the most important thing to learn during pregnancy. Each and every pregnancy is different and unique. Good luck and congrats!

Answer 31

Perhaps the baby moved out
