    Hi there - I am 17 weeks and am also not really showing (I can notice it, but no-one else seems to be able to!)

    I went to a family BBQ yesterday and they were all disappointed in my no-show of a bump, as they hadn't seen me since Christmas and were expecting me to be a bit larger!!!

    Don't let it bother you, as mum2bee says, some days do definitely feel bigger than others and it depends what clothes I am wearing, but I reckon it won't be long before the belly becomes noticable.

    I didn't really start showing until after 20 weeks, and even then not much, I still get people saying I look very 'compact' for my dates. They do say with your first pregnancy you can start showing later and your tummy muscles haven't stretched before. Everyone tells me I'll probably get really big right at the end!
