Not lying on your back after 16 weeks

[Shenzhennifer]

Just wondering, excuse me for how this sounds, but is your body naturally big? Is that why you are not showing? If so, I might pay a bit attention to starting not to sleep on your back as your baby still might be big enough to be putting some pressure on your veins. I never felt faint or anything til I was really huge but I stopped long before that.

Hi Shenzhennifer, no I'm not very big, though a little fatter right now! From what I have read and other people's posts I thought many people didn't really show until later, especially with a first pregnancy. I am 15.5 weeks. Do you think this is strange?

Well, if you`re not big already, and the docs say everything is ok with the baby size-wise, I would just count your blessings. With my son I showed at like 6-8 weeks(I was thin then), and now I`m not even 7 weeks and I`m already showing a bit(less thin but not fat). It`s not nice. My friend didn`t start showing till she was about 5 months nearly.
I say as long as the Dr is happy with the growth of your baby, you don`t need to worry. And hey, look at the bright side, you can really go on an eating binge if you want!
