Freaking out, just a little...

captain-ally · Oct 28th, 2008, 10:38 AM

I'm 17 weeks or so and I'm not showing anymore now than I was at 12-14 weeks. Just the tiniest little bump that I'm pretty sure only I can notice. Is there anyone else this far along that's not showing yet? My 12 week scan showed a healthy baby, but there's still a chance of another m/c and I'm so terrified of my scan next monday because I almost don't want to know.

I've seen pictures on here of other people's 17 week bellies and I'm no where near that - just enough to make my pants too tight. People also keep telling me I'm not showing at all.

It doesn't help!

Everyone is different! Honey don't worry, some people don't show at all till they are around 24 weeks! You saw your little one, and I am presuming you haven't had any symptoms of anything bad, so I am sure, so sure that he/she is perfectly okay. Don't worry mama, just because other people are growing at a different speed to you doesn't mean something is wrong! Sending you massive hugs to you and your little one xx

Don't worry hun, I am exactly the same! 17 weeks tomorrow and I barely have a bump, just look like I've ate a few too many chips!!
A lot of people pop at about 20ish weeks so fingers crossed you will have a glorious bump soon enough!! x

Dont worry at all girly. It is very normal not to show much yet or not even at all.

Aww don't worry hun! With my first I didn't start to show properly until I was 7 and a half months gone!

My tum was hard and you could see the small shape, but I was still in my normal jeans until after that time! (And back in them 3 days after the birth!)

My second pregnancy was a different story though lol

I'm 19 and a bit weeks and I'm not showing much yet - I'm just a little bit rounder lol. I am still wearing a couple of 'normal' trousers at work (although I have got maternity clothes too which I wear when I can just to feel more pregnant!!).

You'll soon get a bump, don't worry x
