My bump seems smaller & weight gain

Okay, I sware that my bump was bigger before.  I think that maybe the bloating went away and now there doesn't seem like much left.  I do have a little bump but with a big shirt you can't even tell and it mostly feels like fat (altough I can't suck it in).  Is this what happens when the bloat goes away?  I know it's kind of silly, but I'd rather show and look pregnant than just like I've put on a few.  I'm also a little worried that I haven't gained enough weight yet.  Since finding out we were expecting I gained 7 lbs. and since then I've lost a few, making my total gain like 5 lbs.  I read Dr. Luke's book and i get nervous and now I am getting on the scale daily and it literally goes up and down by the day.   I guess I could eat more, but I eat when I'm hungry which is 3x per day plus snacks.  Am I crazy or should I just relax about it.

    Relax about it!  :)  

    For a while, I felt like I was rockin' a big ol' beer belly - then one day I looked pregnant!!  

    As far as the scale, it still goes up and down for me.  I'll usually weigh myself before bed and then by the morning I've dropped 4-5 lbs!  I had to stop worrying about it and I just go by what my OB's scale says I weigh when I go in for checkups because it's usually at the same time each day on the same scale.

    I'm in a similar boat. Unfortunately, I have not gained any weight and my Dr. is concerned. I just have no desire for food and everything I eat makes me nauseous. If your Dr. isn't worried, I wouldn't be either. As for your bump, I think early on, like in my case, it goes up and down especially if you haven't gone to the bathroom in a while. Good luck

    I think you're totally fine.  I was pretty sick during my first tri and by 14 weeks I was down from my pre-pg weight.  Even with that, I was at Dr. Luke's recommended 24 lbs by 24 weeks.  I just could eat all of a sudden.

    I had OHSS so I was terribly bloated and I don't think I really looked pg until 16 weeks.  The babies growing balanced out the bloat as it went down.  I definitely just looked like I gained a few. It sucked, but most people go through it.

    I'm having the same issues. I have a very small bump and no matter what I wear it doesn't show. Also, I've only gained 1lb. since I got pregnant (I'm 16 weeks along).
