13 weeks pregnant and not showing at all?
Answer:
I think that having a small belly at 13 weeks of pregnancy is normal. I know your excited about people noticing your belly and wearing those beautiful maternity clothes because I was the same way, but I don't think you want to be "big" just yet. Enjoy your beautiful small belly because when you get towards the end of your pregnancy your really going to be "showing", your going to be showing so much that your not going to be able to see your feet. Even if you have a small belly during your pregnancy don't worry, it doesn't mean your going to have a small baby. I had a small belly during my second pregnancy and I had an 8 pound baby.
Good Luck!
You may not start to show until after the fifth month. Don't panic as this is normal, especially with a first. don't spent too much on clothes now as you will get bigger.
My advise is to THANK GOD for your metabolism...my neighbor is the same as you, she was due today and I saw her Sunday at my son's birthday party and she was JUST BARELY showing.
Do you work out a lot?? (she does)
Anyway, as long as all is well and the baby is doing fine, don't worry about not showing, be happy, it's less weight you have to lose later....even though I can understand that you want to "show off" that you're preggers. Congrats!!
Either that or your baby is not getting what he/she needs.
as long as you are healthy, some women don't show too much. how very lucky for you :)
Enjoy It! I didn't show until I was almost 6 months w/ my first pragnancy!
Dont worry! im 13 weeks too, and im not showing either. my doctors says that different women show at different times, i guess we gonna be one of the late ones.. but nothing to worry i heard the average time is around 5months when you can notice it. and remember that women who have had babies already get a bump quicker because their uterus is used to be stretched.
congrats and take care! x
13 wks is nothing. You are not even half way through yet!! I didnt start showing til a few weeks ago and im 33 wks. You are totally normal. Every pregnancy is different and everyones "bump" comes at different stages
that is completely normal everyone carries differently some dont show untill they are 7 months so as long as you are going to your OB/GYN and all is good dont worry about other people.. you should feel good. you will get your prebaby body back faster.
I don't agree with the one that says your baby isn't getting what it needs. At 13 weeks you can very well not be that big. I'm sure you notice it, though. Soon there'll be no denying it!
LOL Be glad! I am 13 weeks and totally show! I know a lot of women cant wait to show, but you have 7 more months of showing, be glad for now that you can still wear "normal" clothes. If this is your first you may not show till later, usually on the second pregnancy women tend to show faster because their uterus remembers stretching out. For now just continue to eat healthy and get plenty of rest, that belly bump will show itself sooner than you think. You'll wake up one morning and none of your clothes will fit! Good luck and CONGRATS!
I wouldn't expect you to be showing at 13 weeks, especially if this is your first baby. Totally normal.
13 weeks along isn't very far along for others to notice that you are pregnant. It's hard to tell unless they knew you before you got pregnant and can compare it to you now.
Between weeks 20-28 you will have a huge growth spurt where it will be more obvious that you are expecting.
I am 30 weeks and people just started asking me (with confidence) when I am due.
And if it is your first you won't show as fast.
I had only gained 8 pounds up to my 7th month and barely had a little pooche. Nobody I worked with believed me that I was pregnant either and I was just average size. You're probably carrying the baby in your back, as I did. Don't worry the little one will pop out there, mine did in the eighth month.
i'm average build too, and i didn't really show till my 7th month. i know you get excited to show, it's like you know this amazing wonderful thing is going on inside you affecting your everyday life and other people can't see it yet!! but trust me too when i say you'll be VERY ready to have your body back by the end. i'm due monday, and i'm uncomfortable and just want to be able to move around like i used to!!
good luck with your pregnancy!
I didn't show until about 20 weeks. I wore my regular pants with a hair elastic in the button up until my third trimester. I'm not fit or overweight either, it's just one of those things. Each woman is different. Since I'm as small, bellywise, as I am I also have less pains and problems. My back hurts infrequently, my feet could definitely feel worse, and I'm due next Saturday. As long as the doctor says that the baby is growing, there's absolutely nothing wrong.
Congrats on your baby.
I was the same way...I wondered if it was normal, and it is. I gave birth at 27 weeks and I had just BARELY started to show at that point. And it's a bummer, cause I wanted to get that big round preggo belly too! =/ And I was petite during my pregnancy and before it. *shrug* Everyone is different...it depends on the body type and size and the baby and how the baby is laying, etc.
everyone is different , mom wore her normal dresses till the day my brother was born, though he was only 4 pounds. i looked like a battleship.
I didn't have a belly until almost five months... I am pregnant with my second and am in better shape... I will probably pop late again...
Be thankful, carrying around the belly gets exhausting...
