No way....your belly pics are ADORABLE!!  You totally have a little baby bump......it's just that most clothes probably hide it......Don't listen to what other people say...they are jealous that you are going to look great after you have the baby and they did or will look like blobs!  LOL

Girl you are so lucky!
This is my first and I started showing at 2 months!
I'm 14w4d now and I already have like 5 er 6 stretch marks and my tummy is already level with my boobs, sticking-outwards wise.
It's not very pleasing because even though I was a lil over weight, I worked SO HARD to keep  my tummy fit ATLEAST cuz I didn't want a blubber gut like alot of overweight girls I saw.

I had alot of muscle built up from being a state champion swimmer... so I worked hard to keep from getting TOO overweight.
And now I wake up in the morning to Mount. TUM over here.
Ugh.
And I'm only gunna get bigger.

My mother said that I'm just like her.
Since I have "Perfect Baby Hips" as she calls it, which just means my pelvis is very wide, that I'm gunna carry big babies.
So that's prolly why I'm getting so big so fast.
And it's not gunna end in a very pretty labor and birth cuz this bubbah is gunna be BIIIIGGGG.

So be thankful that your belly is smaller right now, cuz that means you might luck out with very lil stretch marks and/or a smaller baby like 7lbs er so.

There's no doubt in my mind that this baby at birth if I carry it full term, it's gunna be ATLEAST 8 1/2 9 lbs.

My sister Darcee n I were both 9+lbs.
My brother Timmy was 11+lbs.
My brother Damien was 10+lbs.
And my sister Autumn was almost 8 lbs and she was 2 months premature!

So that just shows you what I get to go through. lol.

I envy yall girls who luck out with a lil one.
lol.

So there's nothin to worry about.
Just cuz you ain't as big as some women, don't mean there's something wrong with your baby.
If it's got a heart beat and all that, then you're okay.

Your only 15 weeks, your belly looks perfect for that time! I've seen way smaller bellys further along then you. I think yours is completely normal. A lot of women are larger but that doesn't mean thats normal either...you look perfect, and what a cute baby belly you have!
I M/C at 13 weeks...but I didn't even have half the belly you did at that time!

You have the perfect baby belly. Don't compare yourself to other people. Everyone has their own body type and you look like you are petite frame. As long as you are eating and your baby is growing, you will be just fine. You also look like you are having a boy. That to makes a different. You are carrying all in front. I carried the same way with my son. With my daughters, I was huge all over. Take care and best of Luck!!!.

You must have some good stomach muscles!!  With my first I didn't really start to show until almost 7m, with my second about 5m, but was showing with this one at 8w!!  You are getting the growing pains from muscles and ligaments stretching.  Don't worry, you will start getting a bigger bump soon!!!
