Question

I can feel the bump when i touch my belly, but i can't see the bump. I'm not even showing a little. Is this normal?

Answer 1

its normal... most people dont show til about 5 or 6 months...

Answer 2

15 wks isn't that far along. Your baby isn't even a full 6 inches long yet. Ppl that have been pregnant more than once show as early or earlier than 15 wks (but that's becuase thier muscles have already stretched in a past pregnancy and relax quickly w/ other pregnancies). Some show a lot more becuase they gain their weight faster and pooch out and some show earlier becuase they already had a bit of a tummy. I didn't really start to show until I was 20/21wks. Then from there I started to get a little more and a little more round and even though I don't look big, I know I really popped. I'm 23wks (just nearly 6 mos) and don't look as pregnant and some do.

Answer 3

totally. and when you do, people will complain that it's not big enough. Just listen to your dr and go with what they say. Everyone's body is different and so is the way they carry their baby. I'm 30 weeks and if I put on a sweatshirt you wouldn't know I'm pregnant. I would say it took till about 20 to finally feel like I was showing enough not to make people wonder, "is she pregnant or just gaining some weight." I weighed 126 and now way 135 and dr. is happy with everything. Best of luck. I"m sure you will start showing soon. Then you'll have to start getting maternity clothes!! oh the fun!

Hey girly don't worry. When I was pregnant with my son a friend of mine was also pregnant. We were both ten weeks when she started to show but I wasn't showing at all. I am very petite and she is alittle heavy. My stomach looked so flat that people began to question whether or not I was really pregnant. I was worried because I kept comparing my progress to hers. She heard her baby heartbeat at 10 weeks I couldn't hear mines at 10,11, 12 or 13 weeks. I started worrying and stressing that something was wrong with my baby. My obgyn sent me to have an ultrasound at 14 weeks because he was worried about not hearing a heartbeat at this point. Well while I was in the ultrasound waiting room the tech came out and called me to the back. She asked me why I was there and I said I was there for a prenantal ultrasound. She looked at me in disbelief and was like your'e pregnant?! I explained to her that we could not hear a heartbeat and that I was scared. Well lo and behold as soon as she put the transducer on my stomach there was a healthy strong heartbeat!! I could see everything the head the spine the movements. I also learned that I was having a boy. I was so excited and relieved. I went home that day and relaxed. Well about two days later, literally I am not exagerrating, I started to show. My little stomach just popped out of nowhere. I looked undeniably pregnant!! Everyone was shocked. It just happened overnight. From then on I grew at a steady healthy rate. I wasn't huge but I measured normal for my gestation. My friend was huge and she had a 5 pound baby boy in February and I had an 8 pound 5oz baby boy about a week after. So don't worry about showing because your baby can still be big and healthy inside of you but your stomach isn't ready to pop yet. Trust me it will happen all of a sudden and you will be shocked at how it grew before your eyes. Good luck mommy!!

Answer 5

Wow you should be happy. LOL I started gaining weight immediately and was showing A LOT by the time I was 15 weeks. It was crazy. Don't worry in a couple of weeks it will start to show and then you'll start to say that nothing fits LOL also start putting vitamin E cream and cocoa butter so when your belly does start to grow you don't get stretch marks. Good luck and Congrats

Answer 6

I am also 15 weeks and can't tell unless I try putting on my old pants i am in maternity pants right now but no bulge i guess my waist is just wider. The thing that keeps reminding me I am pregnant is because I feel movement and this is my first pregnancy but my doctor says some people uterus is more sensitive than others. Every one is different I hope to start showing soon too.

Answer 7

It is normal. At 15 weeks, the uterus containing foetus inside just comes out of pelvis..i.e.above the bone you feel anterioly.
The feeling of bump by you is alright ,since you are 3 weeks into the second trimester. Nothing to worry about.
Good luck and take care.

Answer 8

Yes it is. I am 21 weeks pregnant with my second child and I started to show at about 10 weeks with my first son, this time I did not show til about 19 weeks and all at once it was like over night and I was huge! Just thank your lucky stars that your not showing yet! You will get so miserable and big! Your time will eventually come! I wish I could still be little cause everything is harder once you start to get big.

Answer 9

totally fine. you may just blossom a pot belly at the 5th month, so dont worry about it. some people only look like the have gained a few pounds until 7-8 months, then oopsie i am showing! so dont fret, continue eating healthy and doing kegals, think positive and smile! pregnant women are beautiful, even before they begin to show! the glow is the first "show" of being pregnant anyways!
congrats!

Answer 10

Yes, it's completely normal. No worries, okay. I'm 21 weeks actually, and I'm not showing a lot. In fact, most people who didn't know me before just assume I'm gaining weight, unless I wear maternity clothes that emphasis my tummy, and they still look at me funny and I can tell they're asking themselves, "Uuummmm.... she looks pregnant, but I don't wanna say anything 'cause I don't wanna get my head knocked off!" LOL ... you'll start to really show at about your 6th month.. don't worry!

Answer 11

It might be normal for you I didn't really show during my whole pregnancy and I am a small person and my son was just fine. Make sure you go to every DR appt and eat right whats normal for someone else mat not be for you so try to relax and enjoy.
