Hi I'm 17 weeks tomorrow and I started showing around 9-10 wks since then my belly doesn't look like its grown if anything my bumps gone smaller!..I'm not sure wether to be worrid or not x

Thanks I was getting slightly worried but I've been reassured now of my baba,I got some little kicks last night I couldn't feel them with my hand,felt like he/she was nudging my bladder xx

No its nothing to worry about, at 9-10 weeks it was most likely bloating as the baby is still tiny and wouldnt be causing you to show... so if the bloating decreases your tummy will too... and even at 17 weeks its still early to have a really noticeable bump... at this point you COULD be starting to show but everyone is different how they carry and how they show... it will happen soon, dont worry

And Daphni... yes petit girls do tend to show earlier but size doesnt always mean much... everyone carries different and shows at different times....one of my Gfs at 5 months didnt look pregnant....but at 6 o7? months she popped big time! then another friend who is also petite never really looked pregnant... well she did but had such a small bump...even at the end and she had a 8lb something baby.... and following she went right back to being petite... i dont know where she hid the baby?? i was huge!! adn i sure didnt go back to my before size like that!!!

So dont worry about what you look like the baby is just starting to kick in to growing mode this month and soon you will too!!

It sounds like I'm having the same problem, except I'm not showing at all and I'm 16 w.  I'm starting to get a little Concerned because I'm  petite and I figured i would be showing by now.
