I'm ten weeks along and not pooching out a bit. I'm sure this is normal, just need reassurance??? I miscarried in January and i'm a bit apprehensive. Thanx :)

Don't worry about it. Some people don't show until closer to 20 weeks. Don't lose any sleep over it!

Sorry for your loss. I've had 3 miscarriages so understand the anxiety that follows every subsequent pregnancy. Don't worry, it's very normal not to be showing at 10 weeks. Your uterus won't be past the pubic bone until around 12 weeks. A lot of women don't show until 20 weeks or so. It depends on your age, if you have had any previous children and your frame etc. I started showing at 12 weeks because I'm quite thin with a very small frame. Everyone is commenting though on how much more I'm showing that other women at my stage. Everyone's different. Best of luck for this pregnancy!

Don't worry - I'm 22 weeks and just starting to show. Many women do not show at all in the first trimester.
I know that pregnancy can be stressful after a miscarriage, I went through one as well. However at 10 weeks you're almost into your second trimester! Your chance of miscarriage has already lowered each week and keeps getting lower as you go along!

That is a good thing! If it is your first one, its likely you won't show for a good while. I didn't show with my first one until I was about 16 weeks or so. My other 2 I showed a little sooner and now I am 7 weeks with number 4 and not showing any and I am perfectly happy with that lol. Trust me, once you do need maternity clothes, you will grow tired of them fast.

Sorry to hear about your previous loss. I've been through that, too. 10 weeks is really early. My first full pregnancy, I didn't show until 6 months along. My second and third full pregnancies were showing a bit earlier. Everyone's different, though...just keep your doc visits, follow their directions and keep your stress levels low.

Hun, Im 16 1/2 weeks and not showing. Thats quite normal. At 10 weeks hun, your baby is still not very big. It will take up until about 20 weeks for your uterus to actually reach your belly button inside. You will be fine hun!!

It took me seemingly forever to pooch out! I think I was 4 months along when I just started pooching out. I wore maternity clothes anyway. It's always fun to wear new clothes.

Don't worry dear, I didn't start showing until I was 6 months along. Still wearing all my normal clothes and everything. Just keep eating right, going to your doctors appointments and you will see your baby tummy in no time!

i don't think you have anything to worry about, i'm 20 weeks and not showing my baby is the right size and everything is fine. i was like that with my first child too!! i didn't start really showing with her till the end of my 7th month. you'll feel better after you have and ultrasound.

i didn't start to show until right around 20 weeks....now my tummy tells all that i am expecting! it happens to everyone at different times....people will tell you if you are smaller in frame you will start to show earlier but that isn't always true...like i said, i started to pooch at 20 weeks and was 115 pounds when i got pregnant...enjoy your tiny tummy now, it won't last long!
