How Big?

Ok, I'm 23 and this is my first baby. I'm due sept 1st, and whenI first got pregnantI was already a little on the heavier side. Since I was already heavyI knew it would be a while beforeI would start to show but I'm starting to get a little worried because I'm over halfway there andI still haven't showed very much.I notice the canges becauseI have to put on my clothes but nobody else seems to notice my baby belly.I was wondering if maybe there was someone out there thats 21 weeks along and heavy that has pictures of themselves that could maybe put my mind at ease.I worry all the time that the baby isn't getting big enough in there but I'm just not sure what to expect.

I don't really have any pictures, but I was a bigger girl and you couldn't really see a "baby bump" on me until I was 26 weeks or so...then when it popped, it popped big! Somedays, though, I don't look pregnant, simply because my belly button still indents! lol Good luck to you, though!

everybody shows at a different stage. if you can tell a difference, that's all that matters. i'm 25 weeks, and until like this past week, unless showing my bare belly, people didn't know that i was pregnant. even the father, who saw me naked, said that i didn't really look pregnant...but i am starting to get bigger now...and i still worry that people think i'm just fat and not pregnant. it will come. don't worry about it!

You know, I am having the opposite problem. I am having number 3 and I am hudge. When I had my first baby I was 19 and I did not show until I was like 7 or 8 months. What does your dr say??

I am a small girl and people didn't start noticing my belly untill later than that. I would notice the difference but other people didn't. You are fine, just be patient! =)

I wouldn't worry about a thing, as long as you feel your little one kicking.......if you think about it even if you could tell you were getting bigger you still can't see how big your baby is.... Best of luck to ya hun!

im not really heavy, but i was definitely chubby. my doctor even told me i haven't gained any weight because the baby is using my fat!   nobody could really tell with me till 7 months even though i could definitely tell.
