I just want to cry, I'm so upset. My mom didn't show until 6 months with me. It's not fair. Is anyone else not showing around my gestational age? I keep waiting those "few weeks" and the belly never comes. It's my first and I'm 21.

I was wearing normal clothes with both my first and second at the 20 week anatomy scan so it will happen. You'll appreciate this one day!

Oh hun, I know how you feel I was the same way with my first. i barely showed until I was 24 weeks along and then the belly popped. I wasn't very big at the end either. You will likely get a belly in the next 4 weeks, I know it's hard to wait but it will happen.

There is a plus side to being small and not showing, it is so much less painful on your back.

With my first baby it took until at least 22 weeks and I was wearing normal clothes then still.

Thank you for your replies! I thought it was the opposite about being small I thought if you were small framed you would show so much sooner, even at 12 or 13 weeks I was 113lbs prepregnancy and I'm atleast at 130 now (I don't let them show me my weight because I had an eating disorder before getting pregnant for 5 years, but I'm pretty in tune with my weight by the numbers considering I used to weigh myself everyday three times a day heh so I know I've gained to atleast 130 ^_^)

I definitely know I'll appreciate it later, and I promise I'm not trying to be big-headed, but it's just not right to be 4 months pregnant and still in a size 0 -.- I want the pregnancy body, it's part of the beauty of being pregnant! My family and friends keep telling me I don't look pregnant (in that tone, you know), and it's just so saddening to me! I want to look as pregnant as I feel. I have to take Zofran 8mg a day because I've had morning sickness and been hospitalized since day 1. I don't mind the sickness, but I wish I had a belly to show for it! Sorry for the rant

I will say I went from a 32A to a 34D in the first month -.- Wowsers! Wish that kind of progress just happened a littttle more down south haha!!

I was wearing my normal clothes too right thru this last pregnancy and I didnt even put on a kg. At 19 weeks i did mention to my ob I was worried because I hadnt grown at all yet but she found a HB straight away so all was fine. I was very small aswell day I had him and he was 7 pounds very shocked at his size for how tiny my tummy was!

Your baby is the size of an avocado right now, so you can see it easily hides inside. Id say 4 - 6 more weeks and you wont be able to hide it. I should have taken more pics with my 1st pregnancy but the 1st one i took was @ 23 weeks and i was small like you, here it is so you can see what to expect in 6 weeks

And 6 weeks doesnt sound like a long time but in pregnancy you can grow ALOT in 6 weeks!

Wow!! I feel less alone now Thank you guys so much. I'm glad other people know how I feel it's very comforting, thank you! Cinss you look absolutely amazing, what a beautiful belly! I sure hope that's what I have in a month and a half That would be amazing! Funnily enough I haven't taken more than 3 pictures so far either haha! Most people are filling out the scrapbook regardless but I'm way too bummed to start

And pinkin, I know what you mean about being worried because every week I always feel like I'm going to have a stillbirth. Hearing the heartbeat has definitely comforted me too
