I am 106 pounds, and I have not gained anyweight. I am tiny and I am 17 weeks pregnant, but still small. My husband and I are the only ones who can tell, only when I am naked, so when will I get bigger?

I did not look pregnant until I hit seven months. Even my family doctor measured me to be a month smaller then I actually was and I had to go the hosptial to get measured again properly. My family doctor also told me I was going to have a small baby because I did not look like I had a baby in me at all. I didnt even gain anyweight until I hit seven months either..then I gained 38lbs in a hurry. SO dont worry it will come when it comes every body is different and no one can tell you when you will get bigger.
BTW dont listen to those who tell you to eat more because that is a load of crap, if you eat three square meals a day and two snacks you should be fine, even eat when you are hungry. There are some people who say you should gain a lb a week, which could be considered normal but not all bodys are the same. My baby was born three weeks early and was 6lbs 5 ounces which is a very decent size for her being three weeks early and it was commented that she had a very thick cord (which meant she was very healthy in there) and I didnt gain weight until seven months. So dont listen to those who demand you eat like your not..of course eat more then you would otherwise but dont stress yourself out about it because that can make it worse on your baby.

LOL!!! I'm thre with you girl! I weigh a bit more than you, and have gained a bit, but I am still wearing size 3 non-maternity pants. I could probably wear a swim suit and no one would really know. Know what my doctor said to me? I told him, everyone keeps saying I should have a tummy by now...should I?? He said...did they learn this in medical school, or during their residency? LOL!!! I so love this doctor. He isn't worried. I was 10weeks 3 days and had gained a whopping 0.4 lbs. and he wasn't the least bit concerned. Eat good and don't worry about that stuff. As long as you are feeding youeslf and the baby, the tummy will come when theh tummy comes, ok? Good luck to you!!! (We can only tell when i'm laying flat on my back in bed...then I have a little *hump*.)

Every woman is different you might start showing around the fifth month I am 6 months and have gained about 5 pounds I weigh 109, so every ones different, the last few months is when you really start to get bigger and gain weight in allot of people, don't worry.

Don't worry everybody is different. I am also tiny before I was pregnant I was 100lbs. I didn't find out I was pregnat untill I was like 5 months. I also weighed very little......now Im 33 weeks pregnant and I weigh 134lbs! You will gain more weight during your last weeks. If you wan to make sure just ask your doctor if your ok, Im sure he/she would of told you from the start!

This is not uncommon for some women. I actually LOST weight continuously up until I was seven months pregnant. I had no appetite. No vommiting or nausea but just had no appetite. Give it some time! You'll eventually begin to fill out. In the meantime eat healthy and keep fit. You'll thank yourself in the long run when you don't have a ton of baby weight to loose! Congrats on your baby!

Any time. If you are tall and slim you may not show much at all. My mother was 5'6, 115 pounds and had twins and she wasn't any bigger than when she had me (the single baby). Babies sometimes will stay in positions where they are mostly undectable, curled up under your ribs, lenghtwise, any way that they can get comfortable. I have one friend that would be showing one day and completely flat stomached the next - that baby was comfortable everywhere. Don't worry though - one morning soon you're going to get out of bed and ask yourself how you managed to lose your feet overnight!

A girl at my church is due in the end of Jan or early February and she just looks like she has a little ball in the front. She is only around 97 pounds. I am Due at the end of March (but with my 4th baby) and I look farther along than her..lol. She started to show around 6 and 1/2 months I guess. Just recently.

Since you are so small you need to be extra sure that you are taking your vitamins and eating healthy (probably more then you are). Only I could tell the difference when I was naked up until about my 6.5th month though. But I was gaining weight...

To let you know you couldn't tell I was pregnant with either one of my kids until I was 7 months pregnant. With my son I lost 5 pounds, then gained 11 pounds back. With my daughter I lost 20 pounds, and gained 5-10 pounds back. My son was 8.6 and my daughter was 8.11! It is all about your body. Trust me tho, in the last trimester you put on weight extremely fast! So be careful

It's not uncommon to be small until you are 5 or even 6 months pregnant. You'll probably just be one of those women who look like you stuck a basketball up your shirt. As long as you are going to the doctor and he says everything is all right, I wouldn't worry about it. Congratulations.
