28 weeks? thick women

OK GIRLS, I'm 28 weeks pregnant which im guessing makes me 7 months?!  with my first child and I'm on the thick side I started off at 185 lbs and now weigh 207 and I don't have a baby bump yet. Is that normal? Some days my stomach can be flat and some days a have a LITTLE bump. But I'm curious if that's normal for being 28 weeks. When I lay on my back or side I can feel my son move but if I'm walking or standing doing something I don't even feel pregnan at all. And most people can't even tell I'm pregnant. Before i was pregnant most of my weight was in my thigh's, my stomach was always kinda flat so i figured i would show more. Idk butIs that normal. Plz help.
Is anyone else experiencing this?

Yes thick thighs ,  wide hips . People are usually like "aww you carry you baby in your hips" which I kinda get offended when they say that. But my mom tells me don't worry about it the less time you have with a bump the better cause it's really uncomfortable but I guess I'm just anxious since it's my first I just want to have a bump lol. But I guess you can say for 28 weeks I still sleep comfortable.

I'm on the thick side as well. I didn't really pop till I was about 32 weeks. I'm 38 now and I'm huge. I have a ling torso and short legs so when I asked the doctor he said the baby has more room to stretch length wise instead of popping out. You mentioned you have thick thighs so I'm assuming you may have wide hips which give the baby more room to fit in. Don't worry u will pop sooner or later lol. I'm honestly fortunate I really showed later on in pregnancy since a big tummy is very uncomfortable for me to sleep or get around.

Thanks. I guess it is cause my baby isn't really big. My baby barley gonna be 2 lbs at 28 weeks.

It's fine my mom didn't show until she was 8 months pregnant with my sister but me on the other hand I've always been very big in weight and I'm 16 weeks (4 months) pregnant and I'm showing with a big bump and all which I'm carrying a big baby my doctor said because measurements of the baby show it's bigger than most at that point but the dad is large as well so if your baby isn't very big then you won't show

I wouldn't worry...everyone is different.  I'm almost 21 weeks and I'm thick too but I'm showing and feel so huge. Could be cause I've lost weight though, not sure. If you are that worried I'd just ask your doctor to ease your mind.
