19 weeks...and no round belly yet

I keep looking at all the belly pics that are posted and I'm starting to get a little worried. I still only have a bump below the below button. Nothing has moved up. I have my level 2 next week so guess they'll measure everything, but now I'm wondering if I'm too small. Believe, I'm gaining weight...it's not that! Did anyone else pop a little on the later side?

Re: 19 weeks...and no round belly yet

It sounds like I was exactly the same way. I didn't have a big round bump for a while (I think I even posted on here, worrying, that other girls' bumps were bigger!). But it will happen...I've got quite the bump now!

It's normal to worry, I know, just try to remember that everyone's different! And wait for that Level II for reassurance...everything will be fine! Chat Icon

I think one day you are going to wake up and see that you popped! I bet it will be soon.

I popped VERY late, and I didn't hav a round belly until a week in the 20's....not sure which one.

Everybody is different. Don't worry!!!!

Re: 19 weeks...and no round belly yet

I don't think I am ever getting a round belly. I mean, don't get me wrong, I have a belly (a rather large one too) but at 37 weeks it is more, let's say, long and flat then round like a basket ball.

But the other girls are right, one day you will just POP and then there is no going backChat Icon

With Roman I didn't pop until about 22 weeks! Everyone is different. This time around I popped a lot sooner, like 15 weeks. I also never had a high bump even throughout my whole 1st pregnancy, this time is very different.

I don't think that the size of your belly is always a good indicator of how your baby is doing, especially so early on.

If you really think about it, the baby is only a few ounces & a few inches long, definitely not big enough to make your belly poke out. It probably has more to do with your body type & how you carry weight. If you tend to gain in your stomach, then it will stick out earlier than if you gain in your hips.

Anyway, try not to worry too muchChat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

Re: 19 weeks...and no round belly yet

I am 24 weeks and still do not have a round belly. My waistline is definately fighting. I have moved up so I have two bumps. It is kinda odd. I look at is as hopefully I will be able to regain my waistline quickly after delivery. But perhaps that is wishful thinking.

The size of your belly has no bearing on the weight or health of your baby. Everyone is different.

As everyone said, every woman is different, don't stresss. Personally my belly didn't pop until about the 22-23 week.

Re: 19 weeks...and no round belly yet

People did not even know I was pregnant until I was 8 months pregnant - if you see some of my belly pics, you will notice I had almost nothing until very late in my pregnancy - don't worry! Even at 9 months pregnant, people didnt even know I was that far along - I had a healthy, beautiful baby!

Check out mine (and other ladies) belly progression pics!
