I'm 14 weeks, I'm skinny, and I'm still not showing!!! I just got done looking at all of your beautiful, cute bumps in the picture thread and I must say, I'm jealous.

I can't wait to start showing.

This is my #2 and I am also still not showing.

I was at a LLL conference over the weekend and talk to a mom who is due in August, who was showing WAY more than me!!!

I've also lost 20 lbs. since I got pregnant, but still overweight. I guess the fluff is hiding the bump.

I can TOTALLY feel baby Jude kicking around in there, and so can DH!
At 14 weeks, I wasn't showing either. I'm not skinny, I'm just "regular" (not skinny, not overweight).

Now, at 18w,3d, I've got a belly. Not huge, but definitely there.
I think I'm showing but no one else seems to be able to think so. It's a little bizarre, like I'm in the twilight zone! Hope you feel more bumpy soon.
I'm 16w5d and am still not showing. (I'm a size 6 and fairly athletic.( It's driving me crazy! I thought my belly had popped yesterday, but turns out it was just some temporary bloat. I want to have a bump so badly! My OB said on Friday though that it's no big deal and will probably take up to another 3 weeks or so to show.
I'm not super-skinny, but I'm also still not showing. My last pregnancy, I was *having* to wear maternity clothes late in te first trimester, and very visibly had a 'bump' by about 10 weeks.

This time? Nothing. Oddly, I prefer the lack of bump. I am able to keep the pregnacy private for a while yet, and I like that, it's also far more comfortable and I'm hoping I do't have to deal with the horrible polyhydramnios I did last time.
OP, so you are not counting your weeks from first day of LMP?
I'm due around 09/23 and on Wed. I'll be 16 weeks.
Of course, if counting from conception date - it's 14 weeks.

I think everyone here is counting using first day of LMP...

Take care!
i recall looking at bump pics in DDCs several months past ours and i saw women without bellys (most were very thin). i think some just carry differently. you're fine!

Oh I am much more comfy not showing than showing.
I never showed with my first... never even had mat clothes and LOVED it! My second, I got big from the get-go. This baby, my bump is my displaced stomach!
I don't really show either, I just look like my waist is awol.

This is my second and I am showing for sure, except I want to show *more* then I am already. But when I get to thinking about it; my last pregnancy towards the end of pregnancy I was HUGE! HUGE! HUGE! And this bump *will* continue to get bigger....so I try to be patient because this time I am going to be HUGE during the hottest part of the year

Is there a category for "I showed prior to conception?"

I am 18 weeks and not showing. It is sooo weird!! I did not show with my first until 20 weeks or so. I recall unbuttoning my top button at 20 weeks, that is it. But with all the babies since, I needed bigger clothes and maternity by now. I don't this time. I can still wear regular when I want to. (but I really like my new maternity capri pants and tops so I wear those when it is warm enough, but it has been cold so I have been wearing regular winter clothes)

LOL..ok..I looked pregnant before conception...but have not changed shape at all since. I have been measuring my waist and all is the same.

I didn't show until at least 18wks with my 3rd, 20 with 2nd and likely about 24wkswith my first.

With this one my 4th it was early - about 13wks but I think my stomach just gave up! LOL
I am almost 19 weeks, very skinny and still not really showing...and this is baby #4! I guess I have a bump when naked, but in clothes it is not apparent at all.

This has been how it is every pregnancy so I know this time it just how I do pregnancy. The bump will come soon though for both of us!
i have a little belly although since my last pic post i don't think it has grown much (which is good cause i don't know where the camera was packed when we moved)

although, after this post i went back and looked at some history of girls who are further along then us, and i have to say, compared to some of them, my 17 week belly looks huge. haha.

i can't wait for a big baby belly. i know everyone says it gets old fast, but i personally think i will really love it.

Yep, me too. I've always had a little ponch going on, which has definitely attributed to the belly bump.

Don't think I started to show until I was at least 5mo. Maybe later.

Yeah, me too. In fact, I still feel like its just the belly-pooch only gone out of control. . .can't wait till it seems like a baby bump and not a too-many-ice-creams bump!
