Have you been pregnant before? Probably you just hold the baby more inside than other women. It has to do with the placement of your pelvis, etc. Often a first pregnancy doesn't show nearly as large or a soon as 2nd or 3rd pregnancies.

Hi. Dont worry about it Because im in the same position as you are right now..Im 25 1/2 weeks and I dont even look pregnant..I look like ive just put on some weight. Which kinda sucks but its ok. The less weight you gain the less you have to lose later. Plus not getting as big only means less stretch marks. Good Luck

It sounds like this is your first child. The abdominal wall/muscles are still strong and hold the bump back longer. Imagine you have a airbed pumped up until it goes no more. now you can put something heavy on it and it will barely push in.. its too strong... but let some air out (weaken it) and it will push in. Thats why woman show earlier with the second baby.. the abdominal wall is weakened from the first

Everyone is different. You will carry differently than other women. Some women go almost to the end of their pregnancies without showing at all. As long as your measurements are on target then try not to worry.

don't worry, i didn't show until i was 7mts. pg, and i was only 98 pounds to begin w/, so you would think i would have shown sooner. everyone's body is different.
