Dont worry. Everyone one carries differently.

I dont know but if you are small to begin with...it can take a little time for a belly bump.
20wks...I know the baby is the size of a banana. thats not that big.
Its also normal to not to feel the baby just yet. In due time.

I know with my 1st...at 19wks I got a little bump.
By 22wks...BOOM it was there!

Hang in there...soon!

Please don't worry.
I am exactly the same.
The Dr was amazed I was still in regular jeans at my 20 week appt.

Everyone carries differently.

And I did not feel the baby at that point either.... and I barely feel it now at 23 weeks.
You will be fine!

Please don't worry...everyone carries differently!!! I'm 25wks and I'm just starting to feel the baby more regularly. At 20 wks i barely felt anything other then a twitch every once in a while! Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

it's so true that uyou literally pop overnight. i felt so fat and bloated and always said i had a deformed belly for so long and then all of a sudden, i just popped at like 25 weeks or so and just kept growing since. lol. dont worry. enjoy being smaller!

Do not worry!
I am 22 weeks tomorrow and I am not showing at all. NO one, and I mean, NO ONE can tell that I am pregnant. And when I tell people that I am 5 1/2 months, you should see their faces!!!!
I have only gained a pound so far and I am still fitting into most of my clothes! My doctor is not concerned at all and as long as she isnt worried, neither am I . I am honestly in no rush to get big and am enjoying being small and still fitting into most of my clothes for as long as I can as long as the baby is healthy!

This is my second child and I was barely showing until 21 weeks. I could totally tell the difference but if you didn't know me you would have thought I was just a little heavy in the middle. I am sure everything is fine. Chat Icon
