It's normal. Usually the uterus is growing up, rather then out. Everyone is different though. Some people don't start showing until they are around 6 months! It will happen (:

Yep i didn't start showing until i was a little over 6 months with my first pregnancy. My doctor told me it was because the baby was sitting further back than normal..Which was why i had a lot of back pains during that pregnancy. She said he was closer the my spine than to the front of my stomach lol. It was pretty nice though, I got to wear my normal clothes longer than a lot of other people could lol.

You're probably fine.
This was me at 6 months


My tummy had just started to pop out. I didn't gain weight until that month, and I wasn't holding much food down at all. As long as the ultrasounds are showing the baby growing, and healthy things are fine.

Some people balloon up right away and others take awhile.

I'm 16 weeks and still not showing either. My mom says she didn't start showing until about 6 months, so I figure I'm going to be like her. It's perfectly normal!


From your head down to your toes,
You're not much, goodness knows.
But you're so precious to me,
Sweet as can be,
Baby of mine.

Hey!
Don't worry about not growing a bump yet! You have plenty of time for that. Every pregnancy is different, every mother is different, and the course of how the baby grows can differ as well. Perhaps your baby, like Nellie's, is closer to the spine. As long as your doctor ensures your baby is healthy, there is nothing to worry about

My cousin Heather didn't start showing that she was pregent until she was about 20 weeks in. Little Max was fine. Just as long as the ultrasounds show that the baby is healthy and developing properly have a flat stomach shouldn't be an issue.

thats totally normal, its around 20 weeks that the bump reallystarts to pop out. Then it grows like mad for the next 8-10 before settling in to a slow but steady increase. I've never had a baby but my sister is being induced for baby number 2 tomorrow Don't you get a scan at 16 weeks? Don't worry about it, if you feel well, then all is well and if you are still worried, pop into your doctor and ask him to have a poke around, he wont mind

at this point your baby is still really small inside of you it only weighs about three ounces, I didn't start showing until around 6 months or so... you actually tend to gain the most weight in the last month or so of pregnancy. I didn't start gaining weight until about month 5 and then I more or less felt bloated. I suggest: http://www.planningfamily.com/ where you can look in week by week at how your baby is developing, it'll give you a closer look at what to expect from the little one growing inside of you.

It is completely normal. Everyone shows at different times, but usually in your first pregnancy you can expect not to show for a while. I didn't start getting an actual pregnancy pooch with my first until I was 22 weeks or so.

I wouldn't worry. As everyone has said, it is normal and everyone is different! c:
