I didnt show alot until about 7-8 months. I couldve easily hid my belly from people up until then. Dont worry, everyone told me the same thing but we all show differently

if it makes you feel any better i went from measuring small at my 23 wks check  to measuring a week ahead at my last appointment two days ago.

i didnt look very pregnant at 6 month(24wks) but the last two  to three weeks baby and belly have had a major growth spurt so dont worry its coming. if your a ftm like me it takes longer to show because your body hasn't done this before so everything is tight and takes longer to stretch. but again some women do just carry small, you may have a long torso so there's more room for baby to hide or you may have a posterior tilted uterus. i say enjoy where you are now, im almost 27wks and sleeping the last two night has gotten challenging, adjusting to a new body every week. And keep in mind baby really only bulks the last 6 week when he or she can put on a pound a week ( im sure you'll notice your belly then!) Dont let people make you feel bad if your dr isn't concerned you shouldn't be. :)

I'm 22 weeks and everyone laughs when they ask to see my belly. "you don't even look pregnant!" well screw you guys because I feel super pregnant & my tummy was flat before. Some women just carry smaller.. My boyfriends mom tells me not to worry "you'll get huge soon!"

I am the complete opposite.  My belly grew so much around 6-7 months. The last month I have stayed the same. At 6.5 months I had a lady approach me and say "wow ready to pop any day huh?" Same thing happened with my first pregnancy.  My 1st pregnancy, at 7 months I was asked if I was having twins. Luckily, I only gained belly weight!
