No bump yet??

So- I'm 15 weeks today. I was pretty slim to begin with, wearing a size 4 and worked out 4-5 days a week. I am now in my second trimester and people are starting to ask where the "bump"is?

Without my clothes on I can totally tell that I have gained weight, I look chubby. But all my clothes (except my bras) still fit and you can't really see a difference in my body.  I can't feel the baby move yet, so I am getting nervous.

I went to the dr. 2 weeks ago and all was fine. Should I be worried? My sister says I should feel happy that I don't have to buy maternity yet.

Thoughts?? Anyone else not experiencing the bump yet?

I'm 18 weeks and have only recently started to show. Woke up one morning and boom there was my bump. I also haven't felt the baby yet. Went to the dr yesterday and heard the heartbeat and all is well. Just be patient. I know it's hard. Trust me I was getting nervous too.

I'm 25 weeks and unless you saw me everyday you wouldn't have noticed I was pregnant until about 23 weeks, I looked like I was just thickening through the middle a bit. I'm just now consistently having a bump. In the mornings there's not much of a bump, but then at night I'm all belly. 

 If you're really nervous about it, call your doctor to alleviate your anxiety a bit.   On a side note, I bought my first maternity clothes about a week ago.  I only bought shirts because I've been using a belly band so I can wear my pants a little longer.

 I did read at some point that people who are more physically fit might show later than others.  Before I hurt my knee (right before pregnancy) I was running between 5-10 miles a day, and I had to stop for a while due to the knee, and then due to the little guy.  But that's what I attribute not showing right away to.

I was about 20 weeks before I started showing, and didnt wear maternity clothing untill about 25 weeks, and most clothing still fit way farther into my pregnancy than that.

 I felt my baby move at about 18 weeks, and subtle at that.

So don't worry! As long as your doc says everything is ok, you are fine!

(I went up 2 cup sizes by week 20, I am 7 weeks PP now, nursing, and still that same cup size)
