Nearly 23 weeks and still don’t look pregnant

I’m nearly 23 weeks and I’m still wearing same clothes as I was before pregnant. I’m a size 14/16 and have a bit of a chubby belly anyway but I don’t look pregnant. Is this normal for someone who doesn’t have a flat stomach normally? Lol. Everyone I know at this stage had prominent bumps and was in maternity clothes

Everyone is different . Some pop quicker if it’s second or third pregnancy / depends on core muscles

I’m size 14/16 but 6ft so didn’t have much of a belly to start with but I popped around the 14/15 week mark

My sister in law had her third baby a few months ago and never looked pregnant

I just about started to show around 20 weeks but still mostly fitted into my old clothes (apart from jeans), and most people probably wouldn't have noticed. I have a fairly flat stomach usually so put it down to having quite a long torso - think the baby spread upwards before popping out!

I am 5'9 size 10. First baby I didn't even tell anyone I was pregnant until 28 weeks and still didn't struggle to hide a bump. This pregnancy I was in my normal jeans until 26 weeks, now 35 weeks and people at work were shocked I was going on mat leave because I'm so small. Plus side is I have no stretch marks and my tummy went back to normal by the time the midwife came out on day 5!

Thanks everyone. I think I’m more worried that I’m still comfortably fitting in my clothes and my boobs haven’t got bigger lol. Some days I look majorly bloated others just normal. Who’d have thought I’d wanted to look fat 🤣

I never looked pregnant with my first until 32 weeks.. friends at work kept asking if l was sure l was pregnant.
I was a size 10 and wore my jeans and still rode my motorbike.
With second l was a size 12 and showed half way through at @ 20 weeks
I only put on a stone with each one.

I didn't look pregnant until 30ish weeks. I went from not looking pregnant to being massive. I was a size 16/18 and it was my first pregnancy.

Do you have a long torso? I can still remember a work friend who only really started to look even vaguely pregnant, and then only if you squinted, at about 25 weeks with her first.

Reading with envy, I'm 11 weeks tomorrow and can't do my jeans up!
This is my 4th and I am struggling to hide it for one more week before the 12 week scan. Glad it's jumper weather.

Thanks everyone!
I’m only 5ft 3 so thought I’d show more. I actually tried on my size 14 jeans today and couldn’t do up so I’ve obviously got bigger somewhere but I’m still weighing same as I did at 2-3 weeks pregnant 🙄
