I just started showing and I'm 29 weeks. You'll be showing before you know it :)

I'm 19weeks and on my 2nd and I'm barely showing, no one can even tell I'm pregnant.. I'm 6' though and pretty thin..   Don't worry it'll happen before you know it..

Everyone is right.  Alot of first time mommie's don't show early.  You must have firm abdominal muscle's or your baby is laying towards your back.  Don't worry...soon enough, that precious belly will be popping out so far, you won't be able to see your feet.  And those kicks will often keep you up at night.  Despite the aches and pains of pregnancy, it's the greatest event that will ever happen in your life.

Enjoy that miracle growing within your belly, dear one and congratulations to you both. :<)

I am 38 weeks pregnant and I barely started to show around the 31st week. But I'm also 5' 11" tall, and thick. It all just depends on ur body. I say the longer you don't show the better! Less money on maternity clothes! :)

With my first I didn't show til around six months I 15w5d and still not showing I didn't even feel pregnant still but I went to my appointment yesterday and got to see my baby for the first time and he or she is fine and very active although I don't feel it moving so I'm sure your fine just continue to stay positive and healthy until you get an ultra sound
