give it time.  If you are worried call your docs.  There will be days where you don't feel anything and some days where you feel like you might rip your hair out.  The last two days I felt "not pregnant" save for a little nipple pain and some RLP.

I am little over 24 weeks and I feel the same way.  My belly seems not to have grown but since I just had a u/s again, I know everything is going good.  If you are truely worried, the you should call your doc.

With my first I didn't show until after 20 weeks and was like 25 weeks before I started wearing maternity clothes.  If your doctor isn't worried, don't worry.

I am getting worried because my m/s is gone this week. I know it's supposed to go away starting in the 2nd tri for many, but it's weird not having that reassuring feeling of constant sickness. And I'm not showing, even though I'm only 14 weeks. I just saw the baby on Saturday and everything was fine so I guess it's just more needless worrying. :-/

Are you gaining weight?  I have been taking a pic of myself bi-monthly since wk12.  Honestly, my belly doesn't look much bigger now (22wk) compared to my 12wk picture!

I'm sure everyhing is fine. I felt the same way starting about 16 weeks. I felt like I "stalled out" in the growth department on and off for the past 3 months. This week I feel like I've grown more than I should (which sounds weird at 24 weeks). Lol. Give it time, it will all work out.

If you are worried, call your doctor. If this is your first, it may take a while to show and look pregnant. I didn't start showing with my first until about 23-25 weeks.

My belly gets bigger and smaller all the time.  If you're really concerned, call your doctor.

I'm 15 weeks- some days I look like I am HUGELY pregnant, other days I just look chubby. Perhaps TMI, but pay attention to your bowel movements- I notice that if I don't have a BM for a couple of days (natural when you are expecting... digestion slows down), I begin to look huge. After a nice healthy poop, the belly seems to shrink a little. I was worried too at first, but started to pay attention to my eating and elimination habits- it seems to correlate.
