Forum - 14 > 26 weeks – The morning sickness has gone & the bump is growing. Talk to others and seek advice from maternity wear to what to expect over the coming weeks. This thread is called '
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.
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 +.

The following user says 'Thanks' to anita665 for this post:
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 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!
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.
