I am carrying low but I started to show early- like 9 weeks or so- I blame the "fluff" I previously mentioned. Your body may just be accommodating your displaced organs well. This chart shows how large your uterus is at different weeks: <a href="http://www.virtualmedstudent.com/images/fundal_height.png" rel="nofollow">http://www.virtualmedstudent.com/images/fundal_height.png</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/carrying-low-starting-to-show#post-493042 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 05:02:54 +0000 shopaholic 493042@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>IDK, I think I have carried baby girl low low low all this time - and usually confirmed by the u/s techs! But I am still getting major rib and in between ribs pain now! I think I really POPPED at 27 weeks, even though I was apparent to people who knew me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/carrying-low-starting-to-show#post-490479 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 08:21:24 +0000 ValentineMommy 490479@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am carrying low, and at 35 weeks, he's STILL mostly below my belly button. I'm definitely showing, but I can still wear regular bras and I haven't really felt him near my ribs or lungs, thankfully. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/carrying-low-starting-to-show#post-485994 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 12:37:07 +0000 MsLipGloss 485994@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't really start to show until around 27/28 weeks . . . my bump just looked like lower belly bloat until then. It was really easy to hide in clothing, so I wore a lot of close-fitting tops with side ruching to accentuate it (I so wanted a bump!). </p> <p>@BabyBoecksMom: Too true! I carried low enough that I was never really out of breath. :) But oooooh the swelling . . . :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/carrying-low-starting-to-show#post-485978 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 12:31:06 +0000 T.H.O.U. 485978@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's totally normal for a bump that early! It will move up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/carrying-low-starting-to-show#post-485963 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 12:29:15 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 485963@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That sounds about normal to me. Be thankful for it, because that means he'll be farther away from your lungs later on ;-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/carrying-low-starting-to-show#post-483519 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 05:57:23 +0000 lomom 483519@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My little boy is hanging out quite low at 21 weeks. I have a bump that's noticeable to me but it's all beneath my belly button! I think it kinda looks like a lot of pooch rather than a bump when I'm dressed (depending on what I'm wearing). I wonder if he'll ever move up!</p> <p>If you carried low, when did you start to show? </p>
