I'm almost 18 weeks preg and on my second baby and not showing much. I am overweight a bit tho so wonder if this could be why - I'm 5"2 and 10 stone 10. Anyone else had similar non showing at 18 weeks?

I also don't feel the baby but with my last baby my placenta was anterior so I didn't feel until 6 months. This pregnancy it's prosterior and I don't really know what I should feel but don't think I'm feeling anything but maybe it's again Cos of my weight

The same thing happens with me. However, I tend to gain weight in the first trimester and then lose it during the second. So people just think I’m fat. Especially since most of the extra fat collects in my bum. I’m just a weird shape and look more fat than pregnant even now at 30 weeks! But to be fair I love to wear very lose clothes. It is not only the weight you have but how it is distributed.
