IM WORRIED!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today makes my 7th month of pregnancy and I'm still barely showing. I haven't been taking my prenatal vitamins because they make me sick. The doctor said to stop them. She didn't find anything wrong with baby but still, shouldn't I be huge by now?!??

Everyone is built different.  I've heard some babies stay far in the back so you don't show much. Don't worry at all.

Do you think I should ask for an ultrasound just to make sure baby is growing? I gained 7lbs so far and in the beginning lost 15lbs so I'm still underweight.

I'm 39 weeks and though clearly showing, I keep being told I look small, or "no way you are due now!" and most people estimate me at 5-7 months along. It worried me but I've gained 30lbs, (was about 115lbs when the pregnancy started), and baby is estimated to weigh 7lbs right now!

So if you're being told by your doctors everything is fine and baby looks good, then I wouldn't freak yourself out! Especially like others said, by 8 or 9 months you could grow a lot. Everyone carries differently and has different builds.

I am 22 weeks and I dont feel like I am showing at all either. I know its still some what eairly but I see other people showing at 14 weeks or so and honestly im kinda jealous. I am a bigger women to begin with and I feel like sometimes ppl just look at me funny when I shop the baby section. But I know I will show soon enough.

I am 6 months and not really showing.  I too am larger girl to begin with so maybe we just don't show until the very end? It's very annoying and I'm ready to look pregnant instead of just fat.

Don't worry about showing. Embrace it while you can. I didn't really show much till about 31 weeks. I have a long torso. Doctor said he has room to stretch and not pop out. But I'm 34 weeks now and I'm huge. Lol. It happened overnight. You will get there :)
