girl,
fret not.
it doesn't really matter.
so long as the baby is growing and healthy...
(just make sure your gynae is doing his/her job, know what i mean?)

I've got a friend who is skinny like a bamboo and her tummy didn't show till 7months!!!!!
but her daughter is healthy and buzzing! *laugh*

my tummy for my first child didn't show till end of 5th month, which is about 20weeks....there after, the growing rate of my tummy was like an inflatable balloon! *laugh*
 
Hi ratna,

Like you, my tummy didn't show. In fact, some of my colleagues didn't even know I was preggie until my third trimester!

As long as you go for your regular gynae check-up to ensure that you and baby are healthy, there's nothing to worry about. Just enjoy the journey! :)

hi ratna..

dont worry too much abt it.. the size of your tummy doesnt really matter. as long as the lil one is healthy and growing well inside of you.

for me, my tummy only started showing when i hit around 26 weeks or so.

now im in my 37th week, and anxiously waiting.. =):Dancing_tongue:

my tummy was not obvious until i was ard 6mth preggie n wearing tight clothes (else ppl dunno i preggie mah).

dunnid to worry. as long as gynae says baby is in healthy weight/length range, heartbeat ok, amniotic fluid levels r ok then no prob :)

my boy was born average weight n extremely active n mischevious now, so dunnid to worry k?

hey no worries!!! My tummy is also small before I reached 22weeks. There's many occasions my friends asked "you pregnant got 3months already?" I still can wear my normal tshirt until about 18 weeks... Even though my tummy is seenable now but people still tend to guess I'm only in 4th months. I asked my gynae, she said as long as your baby is growing well, it doesn't matter if your tummy is small =)

So envy all the mummies here.

My #1, my tummy showed around 12weeks lo but could still camoflauge with loose clothings that time.

My current #2, showed around the same time leh...but more obvious now (i am ard 16 week)

Maybe I got tummy before I pregnant ba..thats why show so early..:tlaugh:

My gynae and the nurses there told me is Baby Gaining the amount of food you have taken that's good.
Although we only gain a bit but is ok one .

Hi all mummies,

The reply from all of u make me feel relieve. I went for scanned a few days back. Im expecting a boy. My gynae told me baby growing up fine. My baby very active. My scanning took almost 45 mins cause my BB was doing acrobat inside. I guess as long as the BB growing fine. Thanks all
