Honestly, if you have a long torso, there is so much room in there that it may take a while for the baby to push out. Hang in there, you'll have a bump soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/late-to-showing-a-bump#post-1918691 Tue, 28 Oct 2014 07:29:47 +0000 Circusbee 1918691@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LaughLines: This is exactly how I'm feeling too! I'm 24 weeks now, and while I think I obviously look pregnant, and DH agrees, I still have encounters with people who are either surprised to hear that I am or say that I look really small. And I can't eat much at a time because my stomach is so smooshed, and my lungs must be too, since I'm out of breath all the time! I was really active before becoming pregnant and had a strong core, and still find it difficult to release my ab muscles all the time. My theory is that my ab muscles were so tight that they aren't releasing very quickly and so my uterus just keeps expanding up instead of out. Not sure if that's accurate, but that's how it feels! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/late-to-showing-a-bump#post-1918634 Tue, 28 Oct 2014 05:12:52 +0000 Snowdrop 1918634@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I felt really full all the time and couldn't eat much then one morning woke up with a bump and felt much better :grin: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/late-to-showing-a-bump#post-1918632 Tue, 28 Oct 2014 04:55:10 +0000 erwoo 1918632@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It seems pretty normal to not show until your 5th and sometimes 6th month for first pregnancies. And then all of a sudden you pop out. I have also heard of pregnancies that hardly show at all throughout the entire pregnancy. With your second, it's hard to not tell people before your first trimester is over! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/late-to-showing-a-bump#post-1918622 Tue, 28 Oct 2014 02:59:37 +0000 lamariniere 1918622@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With my first, it wasn't clear that I was pregnant until about 23-24 weeks, and even then, people who didn't know me probably just thought I had a belly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/late-to-showing-a-bump#post-1918436 Mon, 27 Oct 2014 20:46:26 +0000 BrandNewMom 1918436@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't start showing until 25 or 26 weeks, and wasn't obviously pregnant until 30-32 weeks! Everyone shows differently. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/late-to-showing-a-bump#post-1918391 Mon, 27 Oct 2014 20:25:24 +0000 Raindrop 1918391@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm kind of on the chubby side. I didn't start showing till last week (26 weeks). It just popped out. One of my co-workers totally forgot I was pregnant this whole time till last week and he's like wow are you wearing different clothes? He said I definitely showing now and I could have hid it till last week.</p> <p>I actually didn't mind not showing but I know what you are describing. Definitely felt tight in there... but even with the baby popped out it still feels tight. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/late-to-showing-a-bump#post-1918384 Mon, 27 Oct 2014 20:18:12 +0000 LaughLines 1918384@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 22weeks tomorrow, and i don't really have a bump yet. Everyone i see says i don't even look pregnant (which i hate hearing). Well, today i started feeling VERY uncomfortable, like i am super full all the time. It almost seems like teh baby hasn't popped out so instead she's taking up space in my torso an smashing all my other organs together. Is this a thing? it feels crowded in there. </p>
