I always thought when my baby came I'd carry front and center. I'm sixteen weeks and I'm not showing or anything, in fact I've lost fifteen pounds due to sickness and still nothing shows. Maybe one day soon. (:

A lot of women don't start showing till 5 months. Totally normal

Everyone's body is different and every baby lays differently. You'll find one day you soundly notice there's a proper big bump and then in a really short space of time you'll feel huge :-) I didn't really have a bump by my second scan first time round - I wasn't even in maternity clothes! :-)
