Why ain't I showing almost no belly at 19 weeks pregnant????

Question

It has grown since the beginning of pregnancy, but not much.. I just have a bulk under my belly button.. My belly seems bigger looking at it from the front, but from the side, it looks almost flat..

Im having a girl by the way.. I used to weigh 130 pounds before i got pregnant... Is there any reason why this is happening? Im beginning to get worried as i though this month it was going to look a lot bigger... (im due in on january 18)

Answer 1

no worries. with my second i didn't show until around 25 wks. it just depends on your build. if you are thin to begin with it will take longer for the muscles to stretch out. i'm preggo with number 3 and i'm just getting a noticable bumpp at 16 wks.  i am also a slim person and had a toned belly before pregnancy. it will pop out dont worry.

Answer 2

Ain't is a word in the south, don't y'all know that:)  I'm from Arkansas:)

Anyway, if you feel baby move and all your prenatal visits have been normal, don't worry.  You weren't big to begin with so sometimes smaller woman have smaller bellies until the last trimester, some have larger bellies.  We are all different and I would not worry.  Enjoy still being able to move around while you can:)

Good luck.

Answer 3

You're probably fine.  Some women don't pop out until about 8 months, as long as your baby is growing you shouldn't have anything to worry about.  I personally would want a smaller bump, versus the large one I already have at 25 weeks.  Also, as long as your doctor does not seem to be concerned, and all is well with your baby, there's no need to worry.  

Answer 4

No worries. You will blow up next month unfortunately because a lot of women take a long time to show with their 1st baby.  

Answer 5

Answer 8

your fine! perfect! your already small to begin with and your right on schedual... once you hit about seven to nine mounths you are gonna wish you where small girl :)

Answer 9

With my first son, I really didn't start showing until 23-24 weeks. With your first baby, you don't show as quickly. Don't worry, in a few weeks you'll be wondering what happened. :-)

Answer 10

With my first, I didn't start showing until about 5 months. You will start to grow a lot, very fast. For me it seemed like I blew up over night. Just give it time, you will get big... and once you do you will wish you were small again so you could bend over or tie your shoes. Good Luck and Congratulations

Answer 11

I gained hardly any weight or showed at all.  At 5 1/2 months I popped and when I had my 6 months appointment I put weight on.  It just took me longer everyone grows at a different rate.  It will happen soon.
