I just don't feel Pregnant.....?

Question

I am 13 weeks pregnant and my stomack is almost completely flat. I have always been built kinda small.
I want to start showing so bad. People don't even know I am pregnant. I don't even have a tiny bump....nothing!!!

Yes, This is my first baby

Answer 1

This is not unusual and "showing" is different for everyone. It takes longer to show with your first pregnancy because your muscles and ligaments haven't been stretched before. I was very tiny when I got pregnant...only wieighed 102 pounds but didn't show until the 27th week! It will happen....just not as fast as you might want it to.

Congratulations!

I lost 12 pounds my first 12 weeks. Nothing tasted good and felt sick. By 16 weeks i was buying maternity clothes. Once you are around 4 months you will definetly be showing. I am small to and gained 35 pounds the whole pregnancy. I was very anxious to start showing also but dont worry you will have plenty of time for that. Congragulations and eat very healthy. try to eat only Organic foods ( no fast food, no matter how bad the craving it is bad for you and the baby and will give you horrible heart burn). The healthier you eat the easier it will be for your pregnancy and for your baby. I eat only organic food and so does my 2 year old little girl and we are never sick. She has never been sick once. Food is so important. I started eating this way when i was as far along as you and continue to this day. My daughter is not hyper or sugared out, never sick and very healthy. Same with me. Sorry to get off the subject just very important to spread the word.

You are lucky. This is my fist child to carry this far, im almost 10 weeks and already showing. I'm stuk wearing maternity shirts and drawstring pants because that's all that fits. I'm a size two, and now about a four, and I just cant find any maternity clothes, or see the point in buying maternity closthes that small. I see it as a waste of money if im going to get bigger. You are very lucky, you will start showing shortly. One morning you'll wake up with the bump and it will grow until you wished it would just get smaller. Good Luck!!

Answer 4

This is very common. But you will show. Every womans body is very different. My doctor says it is a lot to do with the angle of the uterus - some point back and some point forward. And also due to the strength of your stomach muscles. Stronger, tighter muscles hold the tummy in longer.
You will show, and may even be happy to be a little smaller at the end of your pregnancy - it is not very comfortable to be really huge when you are a small build.

Hello hun... for u to get a protruding belly u need to wait for alteast another 7-8 weeks! After that u'll have such a big belly that... u wud want to get the baby out as soon as possible :)
Is this ur first baby? I too had felt the same way and used to stand infront of mirror to see if my belly had started to grow :) So be patient till such time! Gud luck and congrats.

Answer 6

Don't worry its just because your only 13 weeks, the reason is because like you said your built small, when my mom was pregnant with me she weighed 89 pounds when she was about 6-7 months old peolple didn't even know she was pregnant. But I came out normal and healthy

Answer 7

With my first pregnancy, I barely showed at all until my 3rd trimester. I bought maternity clothes just so I could say I had, not because I needed them. My son ended up being 7 weeks premature, and I could still fit into normal pants as long as they were somewhat stretchy.

You may have to wait until your 2nd pregnancy to actually show. Its not necessarily a bad thing! You don't want to look pregnant when you're not anymore. ;)

Answer 8

Be GLAD!! The smaller your belly gets during pregnancy the easier it is to lose after pregnancy!! Believe me, you will start showing soon enough...and when it starts getting really big, you will wish it was flat again!! =)

When I was pregnant with my first I didnt start showing until 5 1/2 months!!

Answer 9

You are lucky!! All I got to say is that you shouldnt want to feel pregnant because you are actually one of the lucky ones that don't get all fat and nauseated during pregnancy.. Don't rush you will soon start to show.. I was 8 months when I started to actually show..

Answer 10

Normally people that are pregnant with their first babys...tend to take a longer time to show...it'll eventually get there..dont worry!!! good luck and congrats on the baby!
