im 17 weeks today and i have not gained anything. the top of my belly above my bellybutton is pouching a little more than usual but that may be cause i have been stuffing my face. i would have thought that by now, i would be at least showing a little bit! im still in my pants and everything. it makes me mad cause i want everyone to know im prego :( not bloated! so, anyway im sure i will pop out sometime. im just frustrated and wanted to talk about it. have a fabulous day :)

Hang in there - it happened to me too! FOUR TIMES! It wasn't until I was 5-6 mos along that it was really noticeable that I wasn't just bloated.
I am average/thin - 5'5 and 115 normally. I've had 4 babies and with every one, I had severe morning sickness until 16-18 weeks along. I was having to get IV's at the hospital and everything, so I hadn't even gained much weight. I couldn't keep anything down. My doctor was a guy and he'd just say, "You look a little dried out, feeling parched?" - I had no tears, no saliva left from being sick 20-30 times a day. I would drink 7 up, juice and all fruit popscicles, crackers, soup - usually lost it all.
I promise within 4 weeks, you'll get there! Everyone will know and you'll have strangers stopping you to feel your belly (I hated that)! You'll get to the point you WISH you could wear your normal clothes! Best Wishes!!!

Wow, I would have loved to be able to fit into my old clothes at 17 weeks, heck 12 weeks! Some women don't show as fast, I have put on a little weight, but I am just now starting to look prego instead of looking like I have a pot belly, LOL!! I hope you start showing real soon, it feels good to have people smile at you in that way, brightens my day. Good Luck!!

I feel you! With my first I gained so much weight you could almost tell right away I was pregnant. Now, I'm about 2 1/2 months and I lost weight! I don't want to gain as much as I did last time but It's been almost 3 years since I had my daughter and I had been trying so long for my second one that I want everyone to be able to tell. I know it really won't be that long before I get my belly but sometimes I get too anxious!

I did not start showing up till 22 weeks. Right now I am 25 weeks and in these 3 weeks my belly just popped out. Dont worry everyone is different so enjoy this period. Because you are definately going to hate those maternity clothes. :)...

lol. sorry for laughing but a lot of people would love to be in your predicament. im almost 37 weeks and im still wearing all of my pre-pregnancy clothes. guess i lucked out. the baby is healthy, a little on the small side, but the doctors said that is fine. don't worry, you will begin to show soon enough. it's just different for every woman. who knows your belly may begin poofing out tomorrow. that's what happened to me, i woke up one day, looked in the mirror, and this big ol belly was looking back at me =] best wishes to u

It sounds like you are physically fit. For all of my wife's pregnancies she only gained 25 lbs. This is actually a healthy amount of weight to gain. You are at the time where you are going to start popping out there so get ready for it, and also get ready to start feeling the baby. This going to be very cool.

With my first pregnancy, I didn't really start to show until 7 months...my second, I showed at about 4 months..
Give it time, and trust me, by the time you are 8-9 months, you will be thankful that you have only been wearing maternity clothes for a short period of time!! Congratulations!!!

With my first, I didn't start showing until I was about 20 weeks. You will start showing pretty soon! Be glad because once you have more babies, you will show sooner! Lol...I am having my 5th baby and I am 33 weeks and I have people look at me like I am about to pop today! =)

Congratulations on being pregnant.
Some women don't show and don't show then one day BAM huge prego belly.
Look at it this way, you aren't getting any early pregnancy stretch marks!
Soon you will be feeling baby move, and I am sure you are glowing with pregnancy!
