My ob says my little girl is fine. The heartbeat is within normal range and the ultrasound was perfect. I feel like I am never going to show. I know everyone's body is different but how many other people have been this late in the pregnancy and still have not shown?? BTW, I am 5'8" and athletic and I have only gained 4 pounds...:) Thanks everyone...

I have a similar build (5'9", was a 4 or 6 when I got pregnant), and I didn't start to show until the end of my 6th, early 7th month.
Everyone is different, and as long as your doctor said the baby is fine, you'll be ok.
I know you're anxious to "look pregnant" but trust me, by your 9th month, you'll want your body back!
Good luck!

My cousin is 6 1/2 months pregnant... She is 5'8 and weighs about 120 lbs.. She has only gained 10 lbs so far, and is still in her regular clothes. She just looks like she had too much to eat is all.. She doesnt even look pregnant. You may never get that big.. Or you may not show until sometime later.. everyone is different. BTW.. She is having a girl...

If you're ob says you are fine then you shouldn't worry too much about it. Case in point. One of the girls I work with was 8 months pregnant before she even started to show a little and even then it was not all that noticeable. Her son was born healthy and is now over a year old. Neither her or her son have had any issues.

I didn't show with my first till I was 6 months pregnant. I was wearing 2-piece bathing suits and everything and noone could tell. I am 5'7"
I have a friend who is 5'9" who never did show, her last month she got a "pooch" she never had to wear maternity clothes and just wore stretchy shorts and stuff towards the end. Her ob told her it was because she was so tall that the baby rests different in the body.
You should perfectly fine, Good Luck!!!

Thats wonderful your not showing yet. But i know how it can be
I am having my fourth and people just think i am pudgy. Im four months now and have lost 5 pounds instead of gaining.
This is a beautiful time for you enjoy it. Maybe your showing in other ways like you have a glow or your hair is thicker.
It can be fun to hear people say wow i would have never known.
You carry it well.
Not every one can have that cute little basketball just let it be your secret and smile.

It's normal! I'm only 5'2" and didn't start showing till I was almost 6 month's! I had a little girl. It seems to me that it takes longer to start showing when your having a girl. It's probably not true but everyone I've known that had girl's didn't start showing till around 6 months. Congrats on the baby girl!!!

Most women don't start to really show until about the 7th month. Then their bellies just *bam* I didn't think I was showing either, till I had the baby and looked back at pictures of myself and I was like "Whoa" I blew up. So give it some time. It'll happen.

You are not late on the showing, the first one does not show right off the bat, it takes a while, but don't worry, in your last two months you will be popping out all over the place.

every woman is different. Your body type, activity level, the way you carry the baby all affect how and when you will show.
My first, I started at 140lbs, gained 20lbs, began showing at about 6mos. He was 8.1.
My second, I started at 102lbs, gained 57lbs, began showing at about 6mos, she was 7.3
My third, I started at 125lbs, gained 30lbs, began showing at about 6-7mos, he was 8.1
My fourth, I started at 115, gained 45lbs, didn't show until almost 8mos, and he was a month early at 5lbs 12oz.
I carried all four right in front, down low. I didn't even look pregnant from the back.
I swam, walked, lifted weights while pregnant with #1.
I walked alot while pregnant with #2.
I played softball, swam, lifted weights with #3.
I walked alot with #4.
If doc says baby is fine, don't worry about it!!
