When will i notice?

Question

At 10 weeks has anyone not seen the slightest bit of difference in the way their tummy looks? Mine hasnt altered at all and seeing as they say you put weight on quicker if you are slim that worries me a bit.

Answer 1

I wouldnt worry about your weight because for some women it does not show until half way through, then at the point when it does show you will be wanting it not to show. I sudgest lots of baby oil starting from now though every night on your tummy if you want to try to avoid strech marks

Answer 2

Hi there, you're tummy shouldn't really look any different at this point, your baby is about the size of a grain of rice. If you press above your pubic bone, it will probably feel harder.
I didn't need maternity clothes until I was 18 weeks with my first but needed them at 10 weeks with my second (mind you, I didn't know at the time but it was twins!!)
You may not put on too much weight either, I only put 2 stone on with my first and only put on 1 1/2 stone with the twins??
Try not to worry too much, everyone is different - the midwives don't even weigh you any more because it doesn't really give an indication of the babys weight.
Good Luck and take care xxx

Answer 3

Don't worry, every woman is different as is everybody shape. I'm sure that in the next few weeks you'll be able to notice. A friend of mine is really slim and you struggled to notice she was pregnant after 16 weeks. The baby came out a healthy weight and was fine.

Congratulations on your news x

Answer 4

Please don't waste another minute worrying about that! I've had friends that didn't show any change in their tummies for the first half of the pregnancy. All had healthy babies.

Get yourself a book that shows you how your baby is developing. At about 2 months, your baby is the size of a kidney bean according to the site I'll share below. You'll see how very tiny he/she still is and that might help you understand why your body doesn't show anything yet. Keep taking those prenatal vitamins and take good care of your diet.

Answer 5

Most people don't show at all until they are at least 12 weeks, anyone who is showing beforehand is just showing off their fat!

I still had a waistline full term, no perfect round bump here, it went in and then back out again because of the way my baby was laying.

So don't worry at all, you will show and by the end of it you'll probably be fed up with the lump getting in the way when you try and put your socks on! lol

Answer 6

Most dont see even the slightest bump for as long as 16-20 weeks so dont worry about it. At the stage your at, your little un will be little more than the size of an Orange.

Answer 7

on bf comp i am a slim lady and i have had two children and with both of them i didnt notice much of a difference for a few months and other people only noticed my little bump around the time i went for my scan around 18 weeks after that i dont know how my tummy grew but it did dont worry

Answer 8

slim women seams to put weight on quicker and have a little bump other people may notice that you are pregnant before you notice a change of figure dont worry you will see a change soon

Answer 9

don't worry about it my friend at work is only slim she is a size 8 she is now 14 weeks and has only just started showing everyone is different just relax and enjoy being pregnant

Answer 10

I started having a tummy at like six weeks or so both times. I am thin so it started popping out. But I had nine lb babies everytime.. so maybe that is why I showed so early... enjoy it!
