I am a little worried, because I am 14 weeks, and I don't see anything. I am very thin, and I thought I would start showing early, but I am 14 weeks, and I don't look like there is a baby in there at all. I had a miscarrage before. Should I be scared?

everyone is different & being that your small already, it may take you longer to start showing-good luck sweety!

It normally takes awhile with your first. You'll literally wake 1 morning and be like WHOA where did that belly come from!!!

I was in full maternity with my son around 16 weeks I guess. With this baby I was in full maternity around 9ish weeks. I am short tho and have like no torso what so ever. So it all goes out!

There are women on my EDD board who still arent showing either. It all depends! I wouldnt worry :hugs

By the time I was 10 week I had to tell people at work because I was showing. I could still wear my clothes but you could definately see my pooch!! No doubts about it... the rumors had already started. :shurg everyone is different

I was a good 5-6 months before I showed with my first. I got sooner and sooner with each additional pregnancy. I wouldnt stress out over it. You've been to see a doctor right?

I've been to see my OB but its another couple of months before they can get me back in. I'm just scared with DH not being here, and because I was on birth control when I got pregnant. The same with the first.

Can you go in to L&D and have them listen for a heartbeat, just to ease your fears?

I show later than most. Even with my third. Usually around 6 months I have to start wearing maternity clothes.

I'm 7 1/2 months and still in my normal clothes. I wouldn't worry too much about it. Every woman is different.

For me it was around 7 months with all 3 of mine that people could really see I was pregnant. I was also a very small person. I am not big now, but I am not at prepregnancy weight either.

With my first I think I was over 20 weeks at least before you could tell and almost the same for the second, probably a couple weeks earlier.

Breanna: I was about 5 months. I didn't wear maternity clothes til about 6 1/2 months. We went home for Thanksgiving when I was just shy of 7 months and I just looked chubby. The next week one of my friends came to see me and I was huge. I blew up. So at 7 months I had no choice but to wear maternity clothes whereas before I didn't have to.

Johnny: I blew up with him. Seriously. I was wearing maternity clothes by 8 weeks. At 5 weeks I had to start going through my closet and tossing out stuff that no longer fit. I ended up gaining 70 lbs. with him. I think for awhile I just looked chubby. Probably around 3-4 months is when you could look at me and say ok she is probably pregnant. Definetly by 5 months.

The baby Im pg with now: I'll be 5 weeks tomorrow so hopefully I don't balloon like I did with my son.

In my experience every pregnancy is different. As long as you are gaining weight, the baby is developing the way he/she should, and the dr. doesn't seem worried I say you're fine. But, definetely, if you have any concerns, call the dr. and talk to her/him or one of the nurses. Good Luck. :)

With my first I was six months before I started to show and people noticed but I attribute that to awful morning sickness. With my second I started showing around 3/4 months and with my last I was around 5 months before I started to show but you really couldn't tell that much especially if I had on sweats :lol

I had a little baby bump when I was about four months but I didn't really start to show until around my 5 or 6th month and no one ever believed I was as far along as I said I was.

You could see a pooch at about 5 weeks or so. And I was in maternity clothes by 9 weeks and it was my first.

I just started REALLY showing the past week. Before that I just looked a bit round. Depending on what I wore, you would be nervous to ask if I was pregnant because it could've just been belly fat.

I am a little heavier and I started around 11-12 weeks

A friend of mine is 2 weeks and been in maternity clothes for 4 weeks because clothes don't fit

With my first I started showing/wearing maternity clothes at 5 months. With #2 I was about 4-5 months
#3 I was 3 months!!
#4 I was 3 months
and now with this one I am only 8-9 weeks and I am not showing yet, but I do feel uncomfy in my jeans and such!!

I am like Kristi...I have a very short torso, so I show sooner!! LOL

I started showing at around 10 weeks and this is my first. The thing is I have always gained only in my stomach, so everything no matter what goes to my tummy. I can still wear my regular pants, but my boobs have gotten really big so I am wearing maternity shirts.

I started showing around 6 months. I never wore maternity clothes either, even though I was all belly, I just bought longer shirts

I guess I was around 4 months when you could actually tell I was pregnant. Before that my stomach just looked like I ate a lot.:lol I was really small though, and I am short so it didn't take long to have a baby bump.
