pregnancy weight

I've lost 3 pounds since I've been pregnant. In going on 8 weeks tomorrow.
just wondering if losing weight would stop me from getting a baby belly? Or if ill still get a baby belly despite losing weight?

I'm a chubby girl 191 pre pregnancy, I'm down to 172 now at 15 weeks.
Baby#2 for me I have baby bump my belly definitely sticks put a lil further. But with my first pregnancy, I didn't show until after 20 weeks.

I was 230 prep regnancy and now at 30 weeks I'm 220, my doctor says it's because I've become more health conscious and he's not worried because I already had extra weight to begin with. Don't sweat it, the bump will come, it might just take a little longer then other womens. Mine finally became noticeable to strangers just a couple days ago.

You will still get a baby belly trust me lol. I'm 21 weeks 2 days with my second baby now, I lost 20 lbs altogether the first 20 weeks (didn't get sick at all) and didn't put any weight on until I hit 20 weeks. I started showing at 13 weeks

I was 138 before I found out I was pregnant. I dropped to 124. I didn't start gaining weight until my second trimester. As the baby gets bigger your belly will get bigger. Trust me. Keep the weight off while you can. I'm 165 now and have 5 weeks left. Now that I'm in my third trimester it's like the weight pounds on very easy and quickly!!!

I lost nearly a stone at the beginning and only put on 6 pounds now and I'm 30 weeks but have a massive bump I think it just depends on your body type to start with.

You'll still get a belly, may be big, may be small but as you get further along and baby starts gaining weight and getting bigger, so will you and your belly!
