What do i do so my belly can grow????????? im 20 wks???

Question

and it looks as if im 12 weeks!!! what could be wrong?? why haven't i popped yet if im already 20 wks pregnant?

Answer 1

Girl, I know how you feel I dont look preg at all and I'm close to 5 months also, no pop, maybe a little pudge, but people who dont know I'm preg are shocked to find out that I'm 5 month...I would say enjoy it now, dont over eat b/c you dont have to..you only need about 300 extra calories so unless the doctor is concerned there shouldnt be an issue.

Answer 2

Every woman "grows" at a different pace. Nothing's wrong. You'll start to show more rapidly over the next few weeks. I barely looked pregnant at 20 weeks. Now I'm 31 and people seem surprised when they find out my due date isn't until the end of October.

Answer 3

girlll... i was like that... theres nothing you can do...!!! keep eating healthy DO NOT OVER EAT... cuz later on... it'll be bad for you!!! trust me... i was underweight... and i didn't control myself... i ended up putting 40 pounds...!!!...    

Answer 4

don't worry about it.  Each woman is different and each pregnancy is different.  By the time it is over your belly will be huge!

Answer 5

you are just carrying small. some woman dont show untill 5/6 months.

there is nothing you can do. if baby is fine, and all is normal, you just have to let baby grow at his own pace...

Answer 6

haha ! sorry that made me laugh ! LoL  Girl ! nothing ! ur gonna pop out soon !! promise !

Answer 7

as far as eating to make you show more that would be strange considering smaller girls show before heavier girls, so logically eating would build fat to just cover up the belly or make it look kinda chubby more than anything else. eat healthy! indulge yourself sometimes, since you're pregnant, but trust me on the sometimes. i gained 90 lbs with my son, which for most of my pregnancy i validated because i was skinny before i got pregnant. lol  bad idea.

you might stay small bellied the whole pregnancy or you might suddenly seem to expand over night...nothing you can do will change that. its just a matter of where the baby spends most of its time, your abdominal tone, body type and just how your uterus likes to grow and be shaped.

Answer 8

Answer 9

I'm at 21 weeks and I don't look pregnant to anyone other than myself and my husband. I just look not quite as thin as usual. I've only gained 4-5 pounds, and have a very small bump. I'm petite and thin, so even with said bump, I'm still small. But - I'm eating well, I feel well, and my baby is a healthy size for 21 weeks. I also had really strong, tight abdominal muscles prior to pregnancy. That, combined with the fact that this is my first pregnancy, means that i'll just take longer to show than some people.  

It's not unusual for some women to not show until their 5th or 6th month, especially if it's a first pregnancy. As long as your doctor or midwife thinks that you and your baby are healthy, don't worry.  

Answer 10

there is nothing you can do but wait. you'll probably wake up one morning look in the mirror and say d**n! what happened to my body?

Answer 11

You really can't do anything, you are five months pregnant so any day now your belly will just pop out! I didn't show on my first pregnancy until I was about five months. I also was very petite! Be patient though because at 7-9 months you be wishing you didn't have this big belly LOL.....

Anyways good luck and congrats!!

Answer 12

There really isn't a way to make yourself show. I remember thinking that same thing around that time. Most women don't show until a bit later. Don't worry, you're fine. =]

Also, before you know it, you''ll be wishing the opposite when you can't even see your feet. Lol.

Answer 13

Are you kidding me? I wish I had not shown so early!! I am huge right now!!! I can hardly walk because of the weight! so dont eat alot! eat normal it will grow and if not concider your self lucky its less weight you will have to loose after your baby is born ...

My mom never had a stomach ... she was in labor and the nurses kept asking why she was there no one believed her she was 9 months pregnant ~ LUCKY!!!

I look as if I am 25 months pregnant and having twins! haha~

Answer 14

Everyone grows at different rates.  You may just not show a lot until later.  Be glad.  If you show early people always make comments about are you sure your not having twins?  Or are you ever gonna have that baby?  

Answer 15

HA!! i started wearing prego clothes till i was 28 wks before that everyone would ask "wheres the baby bump" and now everyone tells me "d**n girl whens your last day of work cause your big!" LOL

trust me itll pop outta nowhere...from one night to another!!

one morning i woke up and said d**n! where that come from...hahahaha!!!

just enjoy the non-looking prego belly ; )

Answer 16

it will come just have some patience:)lol  

Answer 17

everyone is different - i didnt get a pregnancy bump until i was at least 24 weeks hun dont worry! if its your first then it can take a long time for your bump to appear as your tummy hasnt had to stretch before and its completely normal! also if you havea rather toned stomach then it takes longer to show aswell as your strong tummy muscles kee the baby in nice =) Also your baby might be positioned close towards your spine/back than some peoples so thats why your bump will not show yet/be smaller than other peoples.

I felt like i had no preg bump until i was at least 24 weeks and it wasnt until i was 30 weeks pregnant until i actually felt like other people could properyl tell - but my babys growing fine, the size of your bump isnt important hun

enjoy your pregnancy and i wish you all the best x*x

Answer 18

i am convinced you cant do a thing cause im now 13 wks and still in my pre pregnancy jeans! ive actually lost 14 pounds and ive not been sick at all so i dont know what the deal is! i thought maybe having more calcium would help but nothing yet...i think some ppl just dont get big? but oddly enough i was huge with my last and i was in maternity clothes by 12 weeks...i think it might just be the way the baby is carried...frustrating though huh!?

Answer 19

it may not pop, when i was pregnant with my first no one believed me because my belly didnt pop until after my seventh month !?!?!, there is nothing you can do, consider this a good thing because when i had my daughter i left the hospital in my old jeans, i went right back into shape and my daughter was 9 lbs 10 oz so everything was perfect
