Any tall moms out there who had to wait for a baby bump to finally appear?

Question

I'm 5'9 and everybody told me the reason I wasn't showing yet was because of my height.  Did anybody else hear this?  I'm still not showing that much at 23 weeks 2 days.

Answer

This was the day I was induced after going over my due date. I'm 5'8 so baby basically just grew up and not out. Lol most people didn't know I was pregnant until I was 8 months. She was also 9.4 lbs 22.5inches haha

Answer

Yep!! Long torso sufferers unite! Even at 5'9" you've got more space for your inner organs to go up before they go out when your uterus starts to expand! Totally normal!
Take it as a small blessing in disguise that maybe your skin won't have to stretch quite as much outwards! 💕 Looking good mama!

Answer

I'm 5'10" and now 23 weeks with my first. This was taken last weekend. Everyone keeps telling me I'm huge which is getting me down a bit though!

Answer

Same here, but I am happy as it helps me keep my runs intact as the belly doesn't make me off balance yet. Plus, we won't need to stretch that much ☺

Answer

Well I'm short and very petite. I'm only 5'1 and I'm still not showing much. My bump is a little smaller than yours at 21 weeks. I really wanted a big belly but after my last US where we were told everything was fine I forgot about it. All I want is a healthy baby!

Answer

Yes! I'm 5"10 23 weeks 1 day and I'm probably the same or maybe a little smaller than what I can tell from your pic 🙃 I'm hoping that means I won't be HUGE later on 🤔

Answer

I'm 5'8 and almost 22 weeks and I think my stomach looks exactly like yours, only slightly more pronounced in the evening.

Answer

Im 5'9 too! Photo a couple days ago at 24weeks 2 days with my first. With clothes on people really can't tell im pregnant at all. But I personally feel very full and wide as it is such a difference from pre-pregnancy. Everyone has thier opinions about why I havent "popped" or when I will, but at this point I'm perfectly content with not popping. I know my baby boy is healthy and thriving and I am going to be 25 weeks pregnant still wearing my size 1 jeans and extra small shirts and that is just fine!And  hopefully it means my post-partum body will not take much to adjust back to it's pre-pregant state. 😊

Answer

I'm not tall but I have a pretty long torso and it took a really long time to show with my first and with my second I still didn't show til about 20 weeks. Everyone told me that happens when you're tall or have a long torso.

You look phenomenal by the way 😀

Answer

I'm 5 10 and have a long torso so I dont look very pregnant either, just bloated lol and I'm 25 weeks. But I also have a tilted uterus so she said he sits more towards my back then popping out forward.
