Q: Showing

I was just wondering is anyone else 16 weeks and not showing. My stomach is still completely flat. I was thin before I pregnant. I just thought I would be showing by now. Is anyone else the same way?

I ain't really showing yet...Maybe a 'lil in the tummy area but that's pretty much it. This is my first child so maybe that's why?!?! My Dr. Told me that some people don't show at all and you can't tell they're pregnant...And others show right away, or won't show 'til later on it just depends. But like the 2nd child and on they will show more and sooner...But that might not always be the case.

Did you girls get to hear babys heartbeat and baby moving by the nurse using a doppler? I did my last appt. Thought it was the neatest thing. Guess they'll do that each visit from now on....:)

Im 21 wks and barely showing. Its the tiniest buldge below my belly button. I was just gonna ask when I should start showing more but I guess you ladies answered that for me... Thanks. I dont wanna blow up. Because your small dos that mean you might be endangering the baby?? Sorry if its a silly question.

Yes im thinking that will prolly happen to the ones not showing and so far gone---one day they will just "blow up". I have always been on the heavier side but wore 36 pants when I got preg in my 20's and I started showing by 2 months. I had 2 stretch marks with my first on by 2 months. I am also short waisted so that dint help me at all.

This time I was even on the heavier side and abdominal pregnancy will be quite different im sure as far as shape and showing goes. I cant even put any waist on my pants already--git these strange pains in my abdomen--not even where I think the baby is--im only 7 weeks 3 days today by doc scale---only 5 weeks 3days from conception.

Good luck ya'all

Yes went to er-- urine test still neg--but I have to be atleast 7 weeks for it to show on a normal preg, and ectopic usually shows even lower hcg levels. I had ultra sound. I seen the corpus luteum on my ovary which means egg is fertilized. Drs have not called with results yet though.



All my "sick" tests came back perfectly negative. No sign of cysts or anything like that. No uti to explain symptoms. All perfect. Never came out so perfect!!! Doh cant spell!!! Sorry
