9 Weeks and still no weight gain or baby bump

I know its still pretty early but I know a few women who are a week or two behind and even ahead of me in their pregnancy. Most of them already have a pretty noticeable baby bump and admit to weight gain. This is my first pregnancy so I'm not sure if that's normal. Is it??

Wow u guys must be really fit  or skinny..lol.  I consider myself to be of normal weight for my height, I look skinny, but im far from stick thin, but unfortunately for me I already had a lil pouch and my nausea from 4 wks thru 12 wks did not help me.  I gained 12 lbs and I'm barely getting that bump, it's more bellyfat pouch than a proper bump.  I'm currently 14wks and my clothes is getting to be really unethical tight..gah..lol

Thanks for this post. I'm 17 weeks (1st pregnancy) and some days I feel like I have a flat stomach event though the baby is almost 6 inches long crown to rump.

Glad to know I'm not the only one.

No baby bump for me until late 4th month. No weight gain until then either. Then it was pretty steady weight gain. You only need to put on a lb a week starting you second trimester.

Yes. I didn't gain any weight until about my sixth month. I was even losing weight for a few months. If your doctor isn't worried, you shouldn't be worried. Every woman and every pregnancy is different.  You shouldn't spend much time comparing yours to someone else's!

I'm 28  weeks i just started getting a baby belly... some people it just takes a while. it also depends on how you're carrying your baby.. some people don't gain weight right away either. I didn't until about 20 weeks. I think it also depends on your body type. I was fit and almost 130pds when i got pregnant
