Im 19 weeks tomorrow with my 1st and still hardly showing...family and friends can tell im pg only bcaus they knew what I looked like before, strangers always give me strange looks when I tell them im 19 weeks! And only in the last week have I been sure the kicks are baby and not gas..hehe! But its often I forget there's a little person in there so don't be worried!! I've been told by many friends to enjoy this time while we can still tie our own shoes!
24w pg and I was told I was still in the "fat" stage - ie no bump!
6-7m pg and people asked why I was getting ready to leave work, had I been made redundant?
30w pg I was told off by a midwife for not being big enough!
9m 1w pg and I was FINALLY asked by a stranger when the baby was coming! I stupidly said "last weekend" and the woman flipped, asking me to leave the shop.
The plus sides were I saved a fortune on maternity clothes and looked fantastic. The down sides were I didn't get any of the special pregnancy treatment!
I think it's normal to not have a huge bump - and it is normal to have one. Whichever one you have, someone will tell you this is a problem. Just don't try to do a sit-up type leap off the bed at 8m pg because you're still quite trim. That isn't comfortable at all.
thanks everyone, you have put my mind at ease abit more!
I think I am just in limbo atm, with Christmas coming etc
We have another appt on the 30th & then 20wk scan on 2nd Jan - so hopefully it feels more real by then!
katabelleh - hey buddy - sounds like we are going thru alot of the same things hun! HUGS
Mrs BB, I am only a week less than you and I still dont feel or look pregnant either! I have put on about 5 kilos, mostly in my boobs I think!, but if you didnt know me you wouldn't know that anything has changed. I worry sometimes too, but I'm assured that this is normal, in fact its great and we really shouldn't be complaining! I have my next scan on the 5th Jan - can' wait for that. It'll just really help confirm that there is a little critter in there after all!
Mrs BB.... I completely feel the same. ALthough I am probably just really stupid, because I am well adn truly showing (even being a big person... I have ballooned) and I throw up daily.... but still my brain doesn't like to link those occurances to a baby.
Stupid brain.
I'm glad I'm not the only one not feeling very pregnant.
I am going to ask my middies for a doppler scan this thursday just so I can hear that there really is a baby in there.... I hate not having had any scans since 8 weeks
