Is it normal to worry that your baby isn't growing?

Question

I'm 11 weeks and two days today. And I can't help but have that fear that the baby isn't growing. That it stopped after a certain week or something. I see women getting bumps all the time. And I'm not getting that. I had an ultrasound at 9 weeks and the HR was 171. But I still have that fear. Am I in the clear for a healthy pregnancy?

Answer

relax....i am 13 weeks tomorrow and still dont have a bump...no symptoms except for extreme tiredness...but i can also attribute that to being lazy... but every at dr appointment, baby sounds good...harmony test came back clear (the test for downs syndrome and other genetic tests)....its perfectly normal to feel not pregnant...trust me, the alternative (think morning sickness, food aversions, constipation) isnt much fun

Answer

A lot of women aren't showing @ 11 weeks. Baby is still really small. You might not start showing for several weeks still.

Answer

I didn't get the official round bump till 22 ish weeks. Everyone carries different 😊

Answer

I'll be 15 weeks tomorrow and I swear my belly is all fluff and no bump 😒

Answer

You're very very early on still. You probably won't show yet. Most people don't unless your a second time mom or so because you sometimes can show sooner. I think everyone has that fear. It's easy to have that fear even after you've hit the second trimester. Just try to relax. I'm sure everything is fine. Unfortunately it basically is a waiting game

Answer

My bump didn't come in until I was 20 weeks. It's totally normal not to be showing at this point. Keep in mind your baby is only about the length of your pinky right now. Still super tiny! It's still tucked way down in your pelvis. You'll be fine mama!

Answer

11 weeks is really early to be showing, especially if it's your first baby. With your first, your abdominal muscles will be stronger and will hold everything close to you for longer.  Also your baby is still very small and your uterus might still be under your pelvic bone. I don't believe your uterus will pop from underneath your pelvis until somewhere around 12-13 weeks.

Answer

I'm 10 weeks 4 days. This is before the bloat. By tonight I'll look like I'm 5 months along. But I start off totally flat in the morning. My uterus is tilted to the back so I'm worried it's going to take forever to actually show.

Answer

I didn't really start to show other than looking bloated from time to time until about 22/23 weeks. It's totally normal!

Answer

Most women aren't showing at 11.. I wasn't and Im carrying twins. But I totally feel you. Im terrified 😣 especially when I wake up I feel like I may have slept wrong all night to cause something to happen 😔.. Its normal, sucks but normal.
