Belly not growing
I took some pics of my 18w5d belly this morning and I was comparing it to my 15w5d belly and there isn't much of a change. Is it normal not to get signficantly bigger in 3 weeks?
1st pic is 15w5d
second pic is 18w5d

Re: Belly not growing
Wow! You make your bed!
Seriously, there are times when I think I dont look PG at all. Then I have to go back to my first belly pic and realize that I am in fact growing.

Not making the bed is one of DH's pet-peeves. Must be made everyday!

Re: Belly not growing
i am right there with u! i didnt take belly pics until 13wks!!!!! and still it wasnt a dramatic change from my normal belly. than the second pic was 17wks and it was a little changed but still not dramatic like the girls on the board's pics.....im now 19wks and my belly feels like its bigger not half as big as some girls at the same number of wks as me but i feel like at least there is a change.....i think it is normal bc different ppl have different bodies and different ways that they might carry their weight and show their baby bumps...

Re: Belly not growing
Krista... don't worry - I hardly looked pregnant til I was 9 months preggo... Even then, I only looked like I was preggers to the extent of every other woman's 6th month.....
U may just carry really small. That's what happened with me, and DD was born 6lbs 2oz, 18 in long, and perfectly healthy.

Re: Belly not growing
I see a difference. It's not huge but it's a change for sure. Don't worry about it. Could you imagine how big we would get if we grew rapidly the whole time?!?!?! I felt the same way about my belly (I am right behind you). Do you always take the pics at the same time? I do mine first thing in the morning so there is no bloat. Just wait till 20 weeks when most girls POP.

Re: Belly not growing
I recently popped out much more at 23 plus weeks ,but was asked by my Aunt yesterday if the doctor was concerned and was he checking the baby to make sure  was growing, since I'm still on the small side. I go for a regular check up appointment tomorrow, but I think since it's my first I'm probably just carrying small.

Yes, I always take the pictures in the morning just before I get in the shower. I look much more bloated at night, so I make sure I take it in the morning.

Re: Belly not growing
I think you look great! Look in my album - I was small like you. I'm 33 weeks tomorrow and not tiny any longer . But I am small for how far along I am. I took a class yesterday at my hospital and there were other women there due the same weekend as me that were significantly larger than I am. But,  is measuring perfectly and is 100% healthy so my OB said to be greatful for the tiny belly. I wouldn't worry at all!

Re: Belly not growing
You look very similar to how I look and I am about 18 weeks. We have a sono thurs and I can't wait to see the baby and know he or she is growing. i always complain to my husband that I am not big enough! Glad that there are others who feel the same way

Oh I definately "popped" at 20 weeks. Holy cow. 
You will get bigger real soon. I think the rapid growth begins around the 18th week or so.

Re: Belly not growing
oh i definitely see a difference. You can tell your belly is becoming more defined. 
Don't worry... i didn't really pop until much later. I think it was 22 weeks. I think. Pics are in my album.
