I know that I am probably just being overly nervous but

I am going on 21 weeks and still not showing. I have a tiny bump and a pouch but I am still in my regular clothes. The doctor keeps reassuring me that everything is fine but I still worry that I am not doing something right. Thanks for letting me vent Chat Icon

I just saw my friend who is 25 weeks with her 2nd baby...she barely is showing! I asked her if she was sure she was 25 weeks. I popped around 27 weeks

Everyone pops at different times. If your Dr. says things look good...try not to stress too much.

Re: I know that I am probably just being overly nervous but

That was my biggest fear in the begging, I kept thinking I was not big enough for having twins - I still feel that way but since I feel them move I feel better. I have been taking pictures every week to make sure I'm growing. I'm really still not - but that's b/c they're not gaining much actual weight yet from what I understand. Don't worry, your baby will be gaining weight and you'll be growing before you know it. Think about all the women who don't know they're PG or can hide it all 9 months - somehow they must stay really small. Don't worry I'm sure e/t is fine! Chat Icon

Let me just say -- you may have a very different post by next week. I wore my pre-pregnancy jeans to my 20 week sono, but by the next week it was obvious to the world I was preggo. I really feel like it happened over night. Don't worry!

same here...I thought I would be a lot bigger carrying twins. I feel it, but DH keeps saying are they going to be small.
I just think everyone CARRIES DIFFERENT.

Agreed!
As of 20 weeks I could still fit into a lot of my regular clothes still ... I had gained weight, but my belly was still very tiny. Everytime I would go to the doctor they would laugh and jokingly say "aww your belly is soo small now - but just wait, it'll catch up!" And they were right!

I think it was literally that very next week (around 21-22 weeks), I started showing. For sure by 24 weeks, I was noticeably preggo and into maternity clothes entirely.

Trust me there is NOTHING wrong with you! Your baby has plenty of room in there and he is totally content and happy Chat Icon

Re: I know that I am probably just being overly nervous but

Ohhhh, just wait!

A few weeks ago, I couldn't wait to be able to show. I would wear maternity clothing and push out my stomach to feel pregnant. Now, I am almost 21 weeks and I can't hide it. I mean, I am not huge - but it's there!

I hated hearing "everyone carries different", but honestly - it's the truth.

Write back in a week or so and see how different you feel. I think you are at the peack of a turning point.....

Don't worry about it! A friend of mine didn't start showing until she was almost 6 months. I'm sure you'll pop very soon.
