5 months, 2nd baby, no bump!

Surprise baby, have only just found out that I am 22 weeks pregnant.
No symptoms and absolutely no weight gain.

Is this normal? My friends who are on their 2nd started showing at roughly 18 weeks and by the time they were at my gestation they had a fully formed bump.
I have nothing! I was showing earlier with my 1st.

Any experience?

Congratulations!

I’m expecting no. 3 and didn’t realise until i was 12w. I never had any symptoms in any of my pregnancies and also barely had a bump. With my 2nd and 3rd I told work at 23-24w and still wasn’t really showing. This time I didn’t put any weight on at all in the first 22w but then put on 3kg in a few weeks.

My babies seem to be good at tucking themselves away!

I wouldn't worry baby could be hidning towards the back of your womb. Silly as it sounds the shape and angle of your pelvis makes a difference too.
I'm the opposite and am like a bloody house - id long for a smaller bump as I'm already struggling at 26 weeks!
You might find now though, now you know you're pregnant you'll notice the weight slowly creep on. I wouldn't worry too much hun. Everyone develops at different paces. X
