I started my 16th week today and I am still in my regular six 6 pants! Below my bellybutton is rounded and hardning a bit, and this is my first...is this normal? I have my second ultrasound tomorrow and want everything to be okay! The first ultrasound was great....I just think if the baby is as big as a softball, I should be bigger! I have gained 6 lbs. so far.

Girl, count yourself lucky if you're not showing. Flaunt that tiny little belly.

That's perfectly normal, especially with your first. With the first pregnancy women start showing later than woman who are on their 2nd+ pregnancy. I am 20 weeks and still barely showing, I've also only gained about 5lbs. Don't worry hun, everything will be fine. The uterus might be the size of a softball right now, but most of that is still really low in your pelvis. Relax and have fun with your pregnancy. Soon none of your clothes will fit. :)

With my first I did not start showing until about 24 weeks, I always thought it was odd because I was a size 2. With my second it was about 20 weeks and with my last I started showing at about 16 weeks. Everyones body is different so I would not be worried.

I only gained 10 pounds while pregnant and did not show at all. I did not have to buy maternity clothes or even wear loose clothes. I couldn't gain weight for puking non stop anyhow my son weighed 4lbs 15.6oz & was 17 inches long at birth and was very healthy. He is now 5 years old.
Some people don't show at all while others start to show around 5-6 months.

I'll be 16 weeks in two days and I'm not showing either. I got a little thicker through the waist. I still fit into my regular pants also. It's my first, and hopefully we'll start showing soon! I can't want to look pregnant!

No, you're perfect. There's a lot more room in there than you know. Four months is normal with your first baby to not be showing much. In another few weeks, you'll laugh at the idea of being worried about not showing. Don't worry, its coming!!! Congrats and Good Luck

Count your blessings. Not everyone shows or gains weight until a little bit later. This is just how your body carries this baby. It will happen, and the ultrasound should reassure all your fears.

My sister in law carried her baby so high that she was able to wear her (very tight) jeans un until the day she had her son. In other words, pant size means nothing. You will likely start showing more in the next month though. I've heard most people start showing around the fifth month. Your baby is likely okay. I wouldn't worry.

haha no you shouldnt be bigger, your belly will grow when it needs to, Ive known many people who suprisingly never show, I didnt start showing till I was 26 weeks pregnant. My cousin 22 weeks. 4 months it still really early to be showing. Just cause you gained weight doesnt mean you will begin to show.

I wouldn't worry about it. I'm 28 weeks pregnant with my first and I didn't start showing untill I was about 20 weeks. Congratulations, good luck and God Bless.
