12 wks pregnant and not showing???? help?
Question:
Answers:
Your fine. You are just one of the lucky ones who won't show until later on. First you feel fat and are wishing to fit into maternity clothes then around the 4th or 5th month you start really looking pregnant instead of fat.
You won't really feel the baby until the 5th month and even then it's questionable. It's a slow progression. Have patience. I know it's exciting with the first and you just want everything to be perfect. Everyones pregnancy is different and it's hard to predict how yours will progress. You might not show for a long time.
Other Answers:
Usually it takes longer than 3 months to show for some people. I showed right away... but with your first pregnancy it takes longer. Also a lot of people have told me they dont start showing till like five months to seven months. It must be nice! I would enjoy that your not showing yet personally.
I think its normal. My aunt is four months pregnant for her third child and still doesn't show. But she throws up everyday, just about. She gets really sick when she is pregnant. Just be careful and go to the doctor and make sure the baby is ok.
Its perfectly normal. The baby is still, not a baby yet, the cells are just there. You'll start to see signs soon enough and I don't think you should look forward to being sick! Good luck!
and your worried about this???I didn't even know i was pregnant until I was 13 weeks...I didn't show until I was almost 5 months..and believe me when I did I was wishing I didn't!!!
its normal that you are not showing. by 12 weeks, you should have gained about 5 pounds but some women dont gain anything yet. as the weeks progress (especially towards the end) you will start gaining about 1 pound per week. your symptoms of feeling sick and tired are also normal. other symptoms include nausea/vomiting/fatigue/shortn... of breath/ swollen feet/sore breasts.

Mom of 5 pregnancies here. The first time oregnancy you won't start showing til about 4 months. Just an approximation there. You were probably bloated or retaining water is all. Don't worry you will be able to show off your new life very soon.
My daughter is very tiny and she did not "show" until almost her 6th month. She never wore materinity jeans - just the low cut ones and didn't wear a maternity shirt until almost 7 months. Are you seeing a doctor regularly? They kept a close eye on my grandaughter's development since my daughter was so tiny - but everything is fine and I have a beautiful 14 month old g-daughter now.

Personal Experience
There is nothing wrong with that at all. My wife didnt show for a long time and when she was 8 months pregnant, people were shocked that she was that far along. She has suddenly gotten larger here in the last couple of weeks of the pregnancy (baby is due on the 24th), and the baby is going to be over 8 pounds, so it obviously was not a problem. Consider yourself lucky!!
If you're tall, sometimes you hide it better than other women. Your OBGYN will check and see if all your measurements are correct, and if he has any concerns, he'll order an ultrasound...sometimes MANY ultrasounds!
as its your first you wont show until 6months and you are lucky to have lost your morning sickness too

You sound fine to me.
I had a friend who didn't have ANY symptoms of pregnancy, and didn't start showing until she was well within her 5th month. Thank God for pregnancy tests or she would've had no idea.
She was a thick girl though.
Don't worry about it. Every woman begins showing at different times in their pregnancies. Your body's shape, your weight and height and how you're carrying can all have a role in how soon you show. For example, I'm 5'10" and weighed 170 pounds (muscular but not fat) at conception... I didn't really start showing until I was just shy of 24 weeks. Now at 37 weeks, I look like I swallowed a water tower bulb!
So sit back, try to relax and enjoy your pregnancy! Good luck and congratulations!
Everone is different and it will take time for some people to show, all you do is waut and see some people carry more water that why they show faster, some peoples babies are bigger or sometimes your uterus isnt pushing that far yet, but nothing is wrong I know someone who has a beautiful baby girl that is 7 months and she did not show at all!!! how crazy but i can assure you that nothing is wrong!!!!!!!

Are you gaining weight like your doctor suggest? If so than don't worry. I didn't show when I was pregnant with my son until I was about 5 months. I went to bed one night and when I woke up, there it was! Now that I'm pregnant again, I swear when I was the positive result on the home test my stomach poked out immediately. Stop stressing yourself out and enjoy your pregnancy.
I almost forgot to mention that my mother didn't show at all through any of her three pregnancies. She never even had to wear maternity clothes.
Sweetie I didn't show until the last trimester. The kid is fine and at the top of her class. Relax. Try to enjoy pregnancy!
Feel lucky - for now. It will show up all of a sudden. I felt great when I was pregnant. Enjoy your pregnancy!!
your just paranoid...you will start to show in no time..
lol stop worrying girl!!! first
its normal that at 12 weeks morning sickness stops or eases off abit and second ur belly will start showing when ever it does, all woman are different my belly i cudn't tell until i was like 15-20 weeks!! take a look at this site, and see the different belly pictures from different woman to see that EVERYONE is differnt.

I didn't start showing until about my 20th week. I was tired at the beginning but I never got morning sickness the whole 9 months. If you are worried something is wrong call your doctor. That's why they are there and they'd be happy to answer any questions you have. Plus, it's better to talk to a professional then it is to sit home and worry about it. Good Luck! My son is 2 1/2 months old now and I love everything about being a first time mommy!!
Most women dont start showing until 4-5 months.
You are soooooo lucky. I have heard a lot of women say that they did not gain weight or show until the end, like the 3rd trimester. And look at it this way you can still wear your regular clothes and save some money! If really worried then ask your M.D.
Don't get upset. As long as your Dr thinks you are progressing well, don't worry. Now that you are in you're 12th week, you will begin to feel better. You are comming out of your 1st trimester, and you will not be as tired as before. I used the book What to Expect When Expecting. Its a great book and tells you what to expect each month. I suggest getting it and it will help calm your nerves. Also remember, some women, gain the most weight in thier 3rd trimester. Some go from small bump to having a big round belly by the 9th month.
I would not worry unless you start to lose all your pregnancy symtoms,the beginning is rough because you want to see all these signs that tell you your preggo but theres not alot of change to see. Alot of women lose weight in the beginning also its so normal,i have had 4 babies and i worried each time.relax and im sure you will start to pop soon.
I did not go into maternity clothes until I was 26 weeks pregnant. People when I was 8 months pregnant had not even realized I was. At nine month pregnant I looked like my friend who was 5 months pregnant. Do not stress about it. You will pop at some point.
I have 3 children and didn't show with any ofthem till the 6th month, (about 26 weeks), i only put on about 17lbs with each child. Others thought I wasn't expecting, then about 27 or 28 weeks I'd start to show. The babies grew fast, by the 38th week I was ready to explode, all of my babies were healthy, happy and beautiful, Sarah 6lbs 11oz (now 24 yrs old, college grad w/ good job) Nichole 7lbs, 11 ozs. (starts collgeg in fall, honor student) & Big Ben (8lbs he's only 10, but I expect great things from him also!)
Eat lots of healthy foods, meat, fresh veggies & fruit. Rest lots, and everything will grow in time. Enjoy, this is one of the greatest experiences you'll ever have.

You are just being paranoid. At my first pregnancy, I did not start showing until I was seven months, nobody believed that I was pregnant, and with my second, I started showing at about 5 1/2 months, almost six months, therefore, you are very early to show.. Some girls do tend to show at an early stage, but you have to remember that every belly is different and every woman is different as well. Feeling OK, is a normal sign, as your body usually has the worst symptoms during the first three months of pregnancy, after, your body is usually getting use to the changes and you should be feeling better... What you should do is do light exercises, like walking the treadmill for like 30 minutes each day., that will help you when you are in labor., and you will feel much more energetic... good luck..
My first pregnancy, I didn't show until I was 5 months along. It just depends on your body type and genetics. Enjoy this time cause once you start showing, you feel like there is a HUGE bowling ball stuck in your stomach and you cannot do anything. It will happen. You are getting into your second trimester which is when morning sickness is suppose to stop and the chance of a miscarriage is reduced greatly. Just sit back and enjoy, once the baby comes, you will have an entirely new set of concerns.
you are probably just paranoid!!...normally people dont start to show until they are around 5 months.....i know i didnt im 6 months pregnant...and i didnt get a belly until 5 months...normally with your first baby you will get a belly later on in pregnancy because its the first time your uterus is stretching out and it takes longer, 2nd and 3rd pregnancies you show alot sooner...if you have any feeling of anything being wrong with your baby go to the doctor, and talk to them about it...it helps...if you have any questions email me kimmieisapunk2005@yahoo.com ...good luck to you! congrats on the baby!
