Q: 14 Weeks...

I'm almost 14 weeks and still dont have a belly. I just look like i've had a lot to eat and am full. I'm also not expecting to feel the baby move for another couple of weeks but i'm sooo afraid of not being able to tell wether it moved. I'm afraid i'll miss it. The morning sickness has started to calm down so thats definately a plus. Anyways...Just curious as to when I should start expecting to show or when I should start expecting to feel the baby move.

Im 18 weeks and I still dont have a belly. My mom and my boyfriend think I do, but thats cause they see me everyday, but if you didnt know me, you would never know. If you miss feeling it the first time, it will do it again. You will feel it eventually. I thought I was feeling something, but I wasnt sure cause ive never been pregnant before, but I started to feel it all the time, so youll beable to tell after a while. I think.

Around 14/15 weeks I started feeling little flutters, but I wasn't certain if that was the movements or not, but around 18 weeks I began feeling it stronger and now at 21 weeks I deff feel movement..You might miss it at first but as it gets stronger of course you'll be able to tell..
As for showing..I'm still small, no one can really tell i'm pregnant yet..Everyone looks at me and says "your still so damn skinny..I thought you would have been bigger by now.."..So yea I guess it all depends on your body..Idk..But glad to hear your morning sickness is getting better, morning sickness is the worst! Ughh! Haha anyways take care :)

14 Weeks...
When I was 13-14 weeks I had a thick heavy middle that just looked fat and I hated it. I figured if I was gonna be pregnant I at least wanted to look pregnant. Then I don't know if something shifted or what but suddenly around 14 weeks a pregnant tummy sort of popped out of my middle and all of a sudden I went from looking fat to looking pregnant. Now i'm 17-1/2 weeks and people keep saying I look farther along than that.

I can feel my baby moving now sort of like jello jiggling in me and its totally awesome. I first felt it about a week ago and it was sort of like people say little bubbles and I wasn't even sure what it was at first. My doctor said my baby was moving before that only it was small enough or something that I just couldn't feel it. The most amazing thing besides just feeling it was that it really hit me something was living in me and it made me feel like my baby was really ok. I still love that, and now I can't wait to feel its little arms and legs twiching and kicking.

Good luck!!

Well, you couldnt tell I was pregnant untill I was 6 months.. I cant exactly remember when I got a belly. All I wear is hoodies though..And it was all ive worn..So thats probably why nobody could tell I was pregnant. You can tell with the hoodie now though. I cant pull that one off anymore..!! But I didnt start showing for a long time! Also..I felt my baby move at 14 weeks I think...

I am 13 weeks and I don't have a belly either just a little pooch that looks like fat. I think I might have felt the baby early but I am not sure it could have just bee my stomach. It felt like something popping in my stomach or brushing up against it from the inside.
