I am 24 wks today and I am showing some but nobody else can tell as much as me is this normal. Some people tell me I can't belive your pregnant and im like yes I am sometimes it bothers me also a girl at work is 24wks too and she is huge and her feet are all swollen she always makes coments about how much she is showing and how I am not it bothers me is that normal for that to bother me. My docter said everyone shows diffrent. I still have a little role in the middle it is evening out some but when I sit down you can see a role I hate it! When will I really start to show?? Does this mean I am having a small baby?

Dont worry, youre stressing yourself over nothing. Every woman has a different body, which means everyone shows diffrently. Usually first time pregnancies, you might not show as fast as someone whos having there 2nd or 3rd. Also, if youre not very fit, it might take a little longer to show, which is fine, it doesnt mean youre baby is small. With my first, I barely started showing at 6 months. Now with my 2nd, at 3 1/2 months I was beginning to show already. So dont worry , youre fine :d

everyone is diffrent i'm 21-22 weeks and i'm not really showing well depending on what I wear.. And I was small to begin with, now people are starting to notice now.. Iwouldn't worry about it, it doesn't mean your having a small baby although you might.. Have you had an ultra sound?? What did the baby measure at? And at the time of your ultra sound how far along were you?? I had my u/s april 28 and I was about 19 weeks according to my last period and the baby measured at 19.4.. So I figured I should be showing more cause I think that would mean i'm having a big baby but I dunno.. They say the baby goes through growing spruts so it's kinda hard to pinpoint... Good luck and don't worry... You probally dont' want to be big yet cause once you are you'll wish you weren't lol
