CONGRATS ON YOUR PREGNANCY!
You are fine. I actually lost weight and have not gotten back to my pre preg weight yet and i am 25 weeks along. As long as your doctor is happy with your weight and nutritional intake you are doing great. (i hate it when fam and friends tell us we should look like shamoo by week 20 just because they may have)
As for showing... well.. some babies are bigger/smaller and some women carry more water weight then others do.
Another thing is, babies latch on to the uterus in different areas. My dd is attached to the back of my uterus, so it took a while for me to form a little baby bump (and I'm a 'thicken' anyway so its going to take a little longer. lol)

Dont worry about it... you are fine as long as your doctor isnt concerned. I only gained 17 pounds in total. and my son was 7 pounds 13 ounces. Everyone used to tell me to eat more and that i was too small but i had a healthy baby boy. Dont worry about it just be happy-- no stretch marks..and less to lose after the baby!! It also depends how you carry.. my son was more to my back while others are more out in the stomach!! just go get some cute maternity tops and show off your cute lil baby belly!!!!

You are fine. I am 24w6d and i only put on 6 pounds, and the baby is doing fine. I went in for a 2nd level U/S all hte measurements are good and the baby already weighs in at 1 pound 7 ounces. For being 6 months, everyone tells me I look like I'm 4 months. dont worry as long as your doctor isn't worried you shouldn't be worried

It is really not about if your big or not it's about if your eating healthy and giving your baby the right nutrition.Beside if the baby was under weight your doctor would be the first to tell you.Belive me your only half way through your pregnacy , you still have time to blow up and your stomach probably will. So don't worry it's not healthy for you or the baby.

You are fine, I am 20 weeks pregnant and have only put on 2lb. Everybody is different in pregnancy there is no written rule that says how big you have to be by a certain stage. As long as you and baby are both healthy nothing else matters.
