Not showing much
I don't know but I would like to, lol. I will be 22 weeks on Sunday and you can barely tell on me also. I also have a lot of excess skin on my belly that I think hides it. I just think I look fat instead of pregnant. I am hoping that changes cause I'm tired of just looking fat. I want to look pregnant, lol.
I guess it just depends on the person and how much weight they lost prior to getting pregnant..I lost 150 lbs prior to getting pregnant and started this pregnancy weighing 150 lbs...I am 23 weeks tomorrow and I definitely look pregnant and have looked pregnant since about 16 wks...I have a tiny panni, but on me you can't really tell..everyone does tell me I'm tiny, but I think my tummy looks huge, LOL!
I have to say, I have had three babies since RNY. I was going to deliever on a Monday and that Sunday people were asking me how far along I was. When I would tell them I was going in the next day, they would swear I was only at most three months. They were shocked. I never had to wear preggo clothes either. My boys were born 07, 09, 10 and with all three I never looked preggo. I dont have much extra skin either. But all three of my babies were small as well. The biggest one was 5 .7 pounds. It had nothing to do with RNY either. My daughter I had 16 years ago was little as well but I got HUGE with her. But with her, I didnt really show until my 7th or 8th month. Good luck!!!
I wish I knew.... like a lot of you... I really don't look PG either. To top it all off, I'm about 15 lbs lighter then when I delivered my daughter almost 5 yrs ago. I have my panni (I lost my job just over a month before I had surgery scheduled) but the only real part that even looks PG is the top part of my stomach. It is kind of 'pushed' up and I definitely tend to look more bloated by the end of the day.
I did 'pop' out with my daughter within the last couple months so I'm hoping that this is what will happen again. It could depend on your size, frame and how the baby is positioned.

I just look fat not preggo in my opinion I've gained 20lbs though and my husband says he can tell. Because I had excess skin in my stomach I'm carrying kind of low. Everyone was possitive it was a boy because of this but it's a girl. Everyone tells me you grow the most your last 2 months we'll see I guess. I have pictures in my profile at Christmas which was 18 weeks but everyone says the shirt I was wearing made me look much bigger than I really am and I have to agree. I may be that big now at 28 weeks.
I hear what you are saying. I have not gained any weight, actually have lost 14 lbs but I am still heavy. I have a very large panni and I think that covers the baby alot. This baby is still really low also. I can make myself look pregnant by wearing a bella band and pushing all of the skin together. Sometimes I do that just so I don't look fat.
