I am 24 weeks and 3 days, and i am not really showing. I can tell that there is a baby in there, but the general public can't. Before i got pregnant i was already a little thick, i weighed about 180 lbs. @ 5'6", i've gained about 10 lbs. so far for a total of 190. It probably wouldn't look so bad if i had a nice round belly, but i don't. The top of my tummy has rounded out some, but i still have a pouch of fat underneath. It looks like two seperate stomachs! People who don't know that i am pregnant just think i got fatter. Is there anyone else out there who isn't showing yet, and when do you think i will start?

You're lucky that you've been able to hide it for so long. I'm 15 weeks and I'm already starting to show. Previously, I did look like I just put on a little weight, especially in my rear and legs. But now my stomach's starting to pop out.
You're probably delayed because you were already 180 pounds beforehand. I've known friends who were about your size to still barely be showing at 8 months.
If you're worried about what people think, just toss on a maternity shirt. That way they'll know. I saw a great shirt the other day that actually said "I'm not fat, I'm pregnant." I thought about getting it myself.

I totally feel ya!! I am 30 weeks and my prepregnancy figure was a little curvy or thick-i had a really cute figure, and always a pretty flat tummy, but I still-at 30 weeks-feel like I'm not showing, in the last few weeks, strangers have been asking about my pregnancy, but I still think I look just fat!! I don't have that cute round bump(in my eyes)-its just a flabby belly!! Good Luck

Don't worry dear it will be soon that this little baby makes it known to all, I had two pregnancies back to back and wasn't able to lose the weight form the first before the second one came I too had this problem, now adays they make maternity clothes that go below the waist line these are better than the clothes that go midway or all the way to your chest, try some of these and don't where shirts that are too big and baggy this too just makes you look bigger, be bold wear something form fitting or a baby doll type shirt... trust me this baby will makes his/her statement within the next couple of weeks

I am kind of the same way. I'm 19 weeks, & most of the time I look chubby. It helps when you wear maternity pants & shirts. It accentuates your stomach to make it look like your pregnant. If I don't wear those, I look like I've gained 10 lbs. *lol* I fought for 2 years to loose 50 lbs & I thought when I got pregnant it would be obvious, but I just look like a chubster again *lol*

I'm 17 weeks pregnant, and was told that apart from a little thickening, unless you are really skinny you won't show until about 5 months+ (20 weeks or so.) However, in my mother's first pregnancy, she didn't start to show until she was eight and a half months (and she was slim!!) and in her second with me, she was showing at 12 weeks. My sister had her first baby at the start of January and didn't show until 7 months (28 weeks+). It just depends on your body and baby, so I wouldn't worry about it. Just let people know straight that it isn't fat, unless you want to surprise them of course!

I think it's kinda funny you asked this now, I will be 28 weeks on friday and just this past week strangers have started to be able to tell. It was funny actually. This past Saturday I had a man ask me when the big event was and I had no idea what he was talking about, because up untill then it wasnt as noticable. Shouldnt be long now. I also was overweight to begin with. Good Luck and congrats!

buy maternity clothes!! when I started showing just a little .. it looked like I had just put on weight
(I'm gaining EVERYWHERE .. hips, butt, stomach, boobs, etc). So, I went and bought very destinctive maternity clothes! that way baby can take credit for all of it! :)
when you get bulky maternity clothes .. it lets the public know you are pregnant .. and baby can take credit for all the weight .. and you said it looks like you have "two stomachs" .. if you get maternity tops .. then they just fall flat. They're bulky anyway! then it all blends together .. no worries :)
good luck! God bless!
