What happens when your pregnant and you suck in your stomach? I can still somewhat suck in mine pretty flat but sometimes I feel a little pinches here and there... What happens when you are further along? I'm only 9 week now...

DON'T!  YOU'LL SUFFOCATE THE BABY!!!!    Kidding, of course.  At this point, you're just sucking in the bloat.  Later on, I'm guessing you won't be able to suck it in at all, no matter how hard you try.  Why would you want to?  I'm looking forward to the day I actually look pregnant so I can relax and let it all hang out.

I dont really want to, I'm just curious as to what happens. Maybe in a way its a way to see whats fat vs baby lol

I don't think I understand the question really, but I'm gonna try.

This early in pregnancy, your baby is still very low.  When you suck in your belly, it has nothing to do with the baby and your uterus.  When your uterus "pops" - moves up from the pelvis and above your pelvic bone, it will start to expand into your abdomen.  Sucking in has nothing to do with the placement and size of your uterus.

My questions is more so as to what it looks like. For example right now when i suck in I get a flat tummy but I'm curious as to what that will look like once I'm further along and I do the same motion of sucking in. I'm not trying to hide my pregnancy or anything, I'm just curious.

Once the uterus moves up, sucking in won't affect that bump.  You can't suck in the uterus!  You should definitely be able to feel the difference.  Your lower belly will feel hard to the touch without flexing.
