Don't worry about not showing yet....it'll come! A friend of mine had her little girl 3 weeks ago - she didn't start showing until she was 7months then suddenly the bump was there for all to see. This will be my second, I'm 16weeks, and I'm showing already....although some people just think I'm getting fat! Its only a small bump feels huge to me) but its hidden well. I was really small with my first and didn't even get a bump until I was about 25 weeks then it happened quickly. I only looked 6 months gone when I was 10 days over and my son was a whooper....9lb 6oz!
Just think of all the stretch marks you are missing while your not showing :-)
Good luck anyway.....hope the bump comes soon! x

be thankful as you dont get that you have put weight on look.i know you want to show it off but give it time.when you are 30 odd weeks and look like you have swallowed a bowling ball you will think differently.
