Girls, I feel your pain. I'm 16 weeks and I'm not showing at all. I heard the heartbeat 2 weeks ago, and I am experiencing all of the usual pregnancy symptoms. But I'm not showing! It is really frustrating. I went into Carter's to buy some baby clothes and I told the lady I would be back when we found out the gender next week & she just made comments about how it'll be longer than that for me. Very, very frustrating to know that I'm pregnant, but to everyone else I appear normal.

It is very exciting to be expecting isn't it?

I have the exact opposite problem...I just started a new job and I am not ready to tell my employer that I am pregnant, but it is getting tough to cover up my baby bump that is so very obvious to me at only 15 weeks.

All the websites show that our our babies will grow very rapidly now so I am sure it will not be long before you will be showing off your proud bump to the world. Good Luck!

I have been showing since week 10! I am very small, size 3-5, but very petite, and now look about 4 1/2-5 months. I get comments out in public of people throwing out their guesses of how far along I am, and they are all wrong! When I tell them I am barely out of my first trimester, they look at me as if I dont know what I'm talking about! None of my clothes fit, I am fully in maternity! ha ha The good thing is, my mom claims you cant tell in my face, just all in my belly! :~)

don't worry one morning you will wake up and your belly will be there...i wasn't showing at all until 19 1/2 weeks..until then i could still wear all my normal pants. Then one morning i woke up and the baby had pushed out my belly and i looked pregnant. now i'm going on 22 weeks and i totally look like i'm growing a beach ball under my clothes. you'll get there..and as far as knowing what sex you're baby will be my doc was able to tell me just before i turned 18 weeks!!(boy) good luck!

Amen! I am 17 1/2 weeks and, man, I just kind of popped a good bit 2 nights ago- FINALLY! After weeks and weeks of just looking like I drink a six pack every night, I think I reached the point of, "Is she?......." My lower back is KILLING ME, though! I can't find relief! I find out the 23rd if boy or girl!

Hi! When are you due? I am due April 20th...we should correspond and exchange experiences! I am a flight attendant based out of Seattle and I'm having a hard time flying even a minimal schedule with the lower back pain! DO you know yet if you've got a b/g? I find out the 23rd! Hope to hear back!

Holly

I am now 17wks. I am showing definitely in some clothes but others I just look normal. I have had to keep my jeans unbuttoned, little uncomfortable on the tummy. My sister told me she didn't really show until 6mos, then I am showing at 4 1/2 mos......I was like O know, am I eating too much. I have gained about 12 lbs now, which I know in the last 2mos, the baby will grow mostly....I need to start watching what I eat, which I don't eat bad, but I also don't want to gain too much weight. I am keeping a close eye on weight gain by what the Dr told me I need to gain. I am scared I will be well over that. I find out 3/24 what we are having......YAHOO!!!
