I do have a long torso, and I know my uterus is growing the way it should. But, I still can't help but worry about not looking like I'm 6months pregnant. He moves all the time, and they're really strong movements that go from my pubic line up past my belly button, and then sometimes he moves along my sides. Does he have enough room in there if my tummy isn't sticking way out? I do look pregnant just not 6months. Will I eventually pop out? Thanks

Yes, you will eventually pop. With both my pregnancies I didn't show until I was almost 8 months pregnant. Enjoyit now cuz when you do pop you'll feel like a balloon. Good Luck to you!

I'm not a woman, and I've never been pregnant (had I been, you would probably have read about it). But I do know that every woman manifests pregnancy differently. Usually, taller, leaner women (like you) don't "show" obviously, until very late in their pregnancy.
Other women may gain a significant amount of weight very early on. My sister, who has three beautiful little boys (ages 6 yrs, 3 yrs, and 6 months) is a very slight, petite woman. She's about 5'3", but she is athletically built. Each time she was pregnant, she became (literally) almost as wide as she is tall. But she also snapped back into shape very quickly after giving birth.
Every body is unique, and in fact, if you have more than this one baby, your body may react differently then, too. As long as you are healthy, and your physician confirms that your baby is healthy, you have nothing to worry about. Nature will take care of things.
Best of luck...and have a beautiful baby!!

it is not uncommon for the first pregnancy not to show as others will. i have pictures of my mother at 9 months and you would never guess that she was pregnant. we also had a neighbor had she 2 older children yet she never showed any sign of a new pregnancy. she had paternal twins. you said that your child is moving around and is quite active,that is the most important thing. i know that first time pregnant women like to look pregnant. i know, i couldn't wait either. but i gained only 18 lbs. my second child i gained i gained 57 lbs and you really could tell that i was pregnant. my second child weighed only 4 lbs 6 ozs. if you see a doctor regularly and he isn't worried, be confident that all is well. when more children come you will show, and remember fondly, the first pregnancy when you didn't show. my prayers are with you and your baby boy. best of luck david's wife grace.

With my first child I only gained 10 lbs. So I never look pregnant. Until just a week before I gave birth. You baby may just be small. My son was only 4 lbs 6 oz. And I was full term. It depends on your body type, I'm only 5"4 . But with my 3rd and last, I gained ALOT of weight. He weighed in at 10lbs 11 ozs. So again it depends. If your truly worried talk to your doctor about your concerns

You may get bigger- the baby prob only weighs about 1 pound now its the last 8 weeks that the baby puts weight on. Every women is differant I had a friend who gained only 10 lbs the whole pregnancy and the day she delivered she could have passed for a none pregnant women and her baby was close to 7 pounds.

Its because you do have a long torso, I do to and there is a lot more room for the baby to grow before you pop out! I just had a little basketball showing at the end of nine months. My baby's were perfect. Good luck and I bet its a girl!!!!!

You will start to show soon. Something else that may determine that is what was your weight before you got pregnant? If you were overweight before then it may take longer. I didnt start showing until the end of my 5th month but I was also very small before pregnancy. My girlfriend weighed around 165 before she got pregnant, she didnt show as fast as I did. Hope that helps.. But dont worry you will soon have that waddle all pregnant women get and the belly to go with it. And you are talking how bad you wanna look pregnant, wait until you get further along, you will not want to be pregnant anymore it gets very very uncomfortable!!! GOOD LUCK!!

I did not really "show" until I was past 6 months, it can be very annoying! Both my babies were fine, each time I lost in the beginning and only gained around 15 lbs total, I'm sure that has to do with how pregnant you look as well!

When I had my first child, I weighed 98 lbs when I delivered and I never looked pregnant. She is healthy and has been for 39 years.
I guess its just the person. It sounds like he is going to be healthy one. I really wouldn"t worry about not showing. Good luck!
she was healthy
