So, I'm over 9 weeks now and I'm not showing at all although I do feel that I'm fuller and tighter below my belly button.

When I was pg with DD (after my first m/c) I didn't start showing until around 4-5 months.

Hi Vandana...


I would say that at about 8 weeks, I could tell I had a little bump... but DH still couldn't tell.

I know how eager you are to start showing to give you a sign that your baby is growing because I was the same way! I don't think you have a thing to worry about though. I only gained four pounds in the first trimester, and lots of women don't gain any weight at all until into the second trimester. Your baby is still so tiny and your uterus is still within your pelvis at this point, so I don't think you should worry that it seems like your belly isn't getting bigger yet. I'm sure it will start to happen in the next few weeks though!

I am 9 weeks and the other day I weighed myself and I've gained about 3lbs. I am still in all my regular close but they are definitely getting tighter around the belly. But honestly, I eat WAY too much! It's not the baby, it's my overeating! DH has already commented on my bulging tummy. When I had my m/c I had already gained 6 lbs by this time! Totally all just fat because the baby had stopped growing weeks before I actually found out I had a m/c. So, needless to say weight gain/big belly definitely does NOT equal growing baby!

Reading everyone's posts here I am actually getting jealous of you all who have gained little/nothing thus far. I have a feeling I'm going to be in for a major battle of the bulge at the end of all this!
