worried baby not growing

[candyy93]

Im 22 weeks pregnant and have no belly, people are still surprise im so far along and no belly, i have lost 10 pounds since finding out I was pregnant and havent been able to gain any im worried my baby is not growing. Is it normal to not have a belly at 22 weeks?

I didn't look pregnant till 23 weeks. And she was (is) right on track. Try not to worry

Im currently 29 weeks 1day and I really ain't showing much at all but i weighed 116 and now I weigh 148 but the weight has evened out I still don't have much of a belly

Don't worry about not showing. I didn't until I was almost 6 months and my doctor said it was because I had such strong abs. Even now at 38 weeks people think I only look like I'm 6 months along. Everyone is different and carries completely different.

I didn't show until 6 months.

I didn't start showing til I wax 7 1/2 months and right now I have small belly at 8 1/2 months. I also have lost weight and my doctor says that some women just don't gain during pregnancy and not to worry about it as long as the baby is grown. Right now my little man is above average in growth, so the Dr is guessing I'm having a 8lb baby.

I have only lost weight during this pregnancy. I am 29 weeks and just recently have started to show a belly. Doctor is not concerned

I didn't start showing until I was 6 months so it's really just your body but if your really concerned you should ask your doctor if everything ok or get a ultrasound to measure the baby

If you have a long torso you won't show as much, also first pregnancies don't show much. With my first I didn't show until 5 or 6 mos

I barely got the look the other day I'm now 31 weeks.. but people are barely starting to notice.. I'm told I'm lucky my tummy is small

I didnt start to noticably show until about 28 weeks. I too lost 10 pounds in the beginning from nausea and not eating much but then the weight started to pack on all of a sudden at 30 weeks. Dont worry, everything youre experiencing is normal.

I have only gained 6 lbs. I lost 25. I'm 29+3. I was showing super early.  My cousin was a teeny tiny thing but had strong abdominal muscles and didn't start showing until.she was over 30 weeks. Talk to your doctor if you're concerned.

Have your midwives measured your belly and sent you for an ultrasound? Weight loss generally isn't good but the belly size really depends how big you were to begin with I didn't pop until 24 weeks then by 26 i looked really pregnant I'm now 28+4 and my belly has popped again. I wouldn't worry to much as long as your docs aren't concerned and bubs has a great heart beat
