Im 11 weeks pregnant I havent seen a doctor yet, the past few weeks ive woken up in the morning and had pretty bad pains in my stomach, ive expreienced them later in the day as well, a couple of times theyve been so bad that ive almost doubled over. Is this normal?
Also ive seen pictures over the net where woman who are 3 months pregnant are already getting big, and you can hardly notice that im gaining any weight. Normal?

Its normal not to even gain weight in the first few months, tho some women will get larger beforehand. It all depends on your body.
As for severe stomach cramps, thats not normal. But cramping and pulling feelings are normal. Its usually ur ligaments stretching, getting ready for baby. But if your worried, talk to your doctor about it. I wouldnt worry unless I saw blood following with the cramping!

I have stomach pains from my belly stretching.

I'm 6 months and am all baby, people still can't tell i'm pregnant.

He's a little guy yup.

I've only gained 6lbs so far by the way. I think you're okay, if you get too worried go to the emergency room.

I'm 11 weeks pregnant too and I am doing the same thing. I have no bleeding or anything. Just the cramping. I am planning on going to my first docotor's visit this month and I am going to mention this to him and I would suggest you do the same. There for a while I thought I was going to miscarry but weeks later still no bleeding. Don't worry about not gaining any weight right now. A lot of ppl don't start packing it on until later. Have you calulated your due date? Mine is may 28. Well good luck and I hope everything goes well!

I had stomach pains a couple of times in the past month. It was pretty weird b/c it never happened before but they haven't come back again and I hope it stays that way.

I have also felt little cramping and pulling on my lower abdomen and sometimes feel a little soreness
