I'm 24 weeks, and I feel so little in comparison to everyone else.

When I delivered I looked 25 weeks and I was 42, so it's just different for everyone.

Your belly just hasn't poped out yet. But it will. I looked bloated and fat at that time. But then I woke up to get ready for work one day. And BAM! I poped lol. Everyone carries different. As long as your doctor isn't worried. Then you are fine. I'm sure when you do pop you will be ALL belly. Congrats! :)

It was very toned. I could effortlessly do over 100 situps without stopping.


Quoting kris0921:

Was your tummy toned before becoming pregnant? That could be a cause as to why you look so small. The muscles are alot harder for the uterus to push out than fat. Also if this your first you normally dont show until much later.

With my first, I didn't show until almost 8 months.

The placenta is farther back with you, totally normal just means you won't be huge.

Beyond carrying differently is the difference in how baby was laying.  Earlier this week, when I would stand with my back against a wall, I could totally see my tummy past my boobs.  Then yesterday I couldn't again.  Baby had tucked herself different.  It's hard, but try not to worry :)

Don't know what you look like usually. If you are a tiny girl normally, then I'm not surprised. Also, if this is your first.  Plus, I remember getting pretty darn far along thinking, "Im big, but not as big as I thought I would" Then in the last month or so it was like, BAM!

That's how I looked the day my son was born, at 30 weeks. If your Dr isn't worried, you shouldn't be either.
