Question

I am 20 weeks pregnant and i am not really showing and i haven't gained any weight. but baby is fine and moves all the time? Any info

This is my second pregnancy and i am overweight anyway, 5'2'' 244 lbs

Also I am eating very healthy, lots of fruits and vegies and lots of water. Water is my main craving.

My a month ago said not to worry about gaining weight because i was big anyway, i see him again Aug. 25th. I guess i am just too anxious to show and tell the whole world i am carrying a new life!! Thanks for all the help!

Answer 1

I have a very good friend who is overweight, probably about your size from your description. Unfortunately she didn't show until she was around six months. She had a very normal pregnancy and when the baby was born she was a very healthy little girl. Enjoy your pregnancy and tell the world. Don't worry about not having the big belly to show for it. You already have the wonderful glow of an expecting mother.

Answer 2

Depending on your build and how many pregnancies you've had, you may not gain much until the end of your pregnancy. I did not show much at all when I was pregnant with my son and gained only 20 pounds when I had him. I also have twin girls and I showed at three months and gained 50 pounds. Everyone is different. Just remember to eat good foods and some exercise...walking is the best and indulge in your cravings...just don't go overboard. And, only your doctor can determine whether you're gaining enough or too little. Best of luck with your pregnancy and with your little baby!

Sorry but all that may happen is a rounder tighter belly. That maybe whats healthiest for you and baby. To much more weight would be tough on your heart and put you in danger. I was a bit over weight with my last child and I only gained 12 lbs compaired to the 35 I gained with first 2!Good luck and Congrats!

Answer 4

You're doing fine. If this is your first pregnancy, you wont show until fairly late in the pregnancy. I wouldn't worry about the weight unless the dr mentions it. If you didn't have any extra weight before you became pregnant, you should gain between 25 and 35 lbs.

Answer 5

Girl DON"T WORRY! As long as your baby is fine and moves don't worry about your weight. A little secret once you have the baby you probably wont be as overweight as you thought because you will have lost it through pregnacny. I was weighing 166 when I got pregnant for my son and after I had him I was only weighing 135. And he was healthy. That was even better.

Answer 6

Not unusual. Be happy, maybe you can lose some weight when the baby is born. The more you weigh, the harder delivery will be. I would not try to gain, just eat healthy and follow the doctor's instructions.

Answer 7

If this is your first pregnancy, it may take a while for you to show. I don't know the numbers of weeks. What has your doctor said about your weight gain?

Answer 8

Your fine I never showed I wore my regular clothes throughout my 1st pregnancy and I even lost some weight. If the baby is moving and your doctor says that you are fine then your good.

Answer 9

I am 29 weeks today. I remember when I couldn't wait to show. I would see pregnant females around me, and thought that I didn't feel pregnant because I wasn't showing. I am the size of a basketball. Trust me don't rush it, it will come. Congratulations

It's just the way your pregnancy is going. Don't worry, you'll develop a big bump before you know it, just enjoy this time you have with out having to carry a huge bump around.
