Scared and Alone

Hi I'm 12 weeks and I'm not showing. I have talk to some of family member and some friends, but their words only comfort me for a day. Then when I try to talk to my boyfriend he always to busy/ tired to talk. So I'm stuck in my own emotion. So my question is: Is it normal to not be showing and 12 weeks along?

Thanks! I feel a lot better hearing from all of you! Thank you again your words are encouraging and I'm going to the doctors today to confirm on how many weeks I am

I'm on 24 weeks and I'm still not showing. My baby boy is very healthy and strong. He is slightly bigger than the size he's supposed to be on right now. I have a healthy appetite and am sticking to a healthy diet as well.I just have a really tiny body, I was below size 28 when I fell pregnant and I still haven't reached a full size 30. It happens. Just focus on the fact that your baby is growing very well and is "reaching" all their growth milestones while in the womb. Pregnancy is a very lonely experience, no matter how much you try to get some people on board and share your excitement, they just treat it like it's ordinary. You are growing a miracle inside you every single day and it's the most amazing experience ever. Do enjoy it my dear, do not allow enxiety to take that from you.

I'm 20 weeks and feel like just now am beginning to show! Not many people notice yet but I do! (Maybe everyone just thinks I'm putting on weight lol) just make sure you're getting those extra calories in and eat healthy! :) your baby will start to show themself soon!

I was in a bathing suit swimming and my dad didn't know I was 6 months pregnant then. It was a full piece bathing suit and he was shocked when he found out. At 7 months I ballooned and was Hugh so I wouldn't worry about it as long as u r doing well and your baby is healthy don't worry

I have a pic of me at 12 wks and still had the same trim toned body I had before. At 18 wks my jeans started to become uncomfortable. I'm 23 wks and although I look bigger some days than others, everyone I meet is convinced I'm lying about how far along I am! Don't panic it's going to show when it's ready.

If you take into account how very small a baby is at 12 weeks, it's only natural that you aren't showing. Around 20+ weeks you should start to show. Just remember that every woman is different n every pregnancy is different

Nothing to worry about I was 25 weeks with my first pregnancy before I stared to show. It was like I woke up one day and I had a baby belly. It was crazy.

I didn't start actually showing until I was close to 30 weeks, just looked bloated. Don't worry, your babybump will show up sooner or later
