Where is my belly?

So Im 17.2 wks and will be 5 mon prego on the 3rd and this pregnancy is going exactly the same as my first...Im not showing at all! I didnt start showing till I was about 6 mon prego and by 9 I only looked 6 mon.The only acception is when I eat ALOT or have to have a bm. I feel so cheated out of the belly and actually looking pregnant!

Oh god you are so lucky...i realized last night that i am losing my belly button already..

I thought for sure I would be showing. My son isnt even 2 yet and odviously this is number 2. I was all ready to accept the belly and excited.Even my dr said Ide blow up but I didnt...I want my belly and for people to stop thinking Im eating to much!
I am jelous of you mommys that have the belly to match!

I agree!! I have no belly!! I'm almost 17 weeks and just look like maybe I've been hitting the desserts a little too hard, It's disappointing working with another woman who is about 7 weeks ahead of me and has the cutest belly and here I am with nothing..

I think you are lucky too. I am so worried about gaining weight that I can't loose. I just want to look good after I have this baby and I am scared to death that I won't.

Honestly most of the weight gained during pregnancy is baby,fluid,placenta,constipation,uterous and water weight. You loose almost all of it on delivery or that week and if there is any extra body fat there breast feeding does a great job at getting rid of it!

Well, that makes me feel better. I am eating healthy foods and staying active so I am praying that I won't have any problems and I am planning on breast feeding!!!!

Do you have a tattoo? I cant tell but if you do I do to lol

Haha yes half sleeve, and hubby is 2 full sleeves.. our photographer had a blast with us at our wedding..

Oh ok...mines halted at a quarter. Partially due to pregnancy. yours seems to go with you so well,Its nice to know tattoos can look good in a wedding dress...I have a few more and was worried about it. Yay for tattooed mommas...my son loved to stare at them when he was an infant.

This is baby #5 for me, and still no belly. Just like a pp, I only partly look like I have a bump if I ate too much or if I need to sit on the can for a while.

With dc #4, I didn't really get a belly until right after my 20 wk u/s. I was hoping to pop sooner this time.

Just the past week people started coming up to me and asking when I'm due. Thank goodness I don't just look short and fat anymore!
By the way, my hand is covering up my soon-to-be freakish tatoo on my lower belly. What was I thinking???

But you look sooooo cute! I have 2 hip tattoos that survived my son so you have hope yet!

Thank goodness! The location made sense when I was 20, not so much now.
Thanks for the compliment - that was so nice to read!

haha well me here at almost 17 weeks will be sure to post an all points bulletin if I ever get a belly (when it's not from a big dinner!!) In the mean time I'll deal with everyone thinking I've let myself go

This is my 3rd, and I am "showing" if that what u wanna call it!! I just feel like I look fat!
my previos pregnancies I didn't barely show till I was about 20 weeks! This one I've gained somewhere around 8-10 lbs, and it's all in the belly region, but it's not a firm cute pot belly
