No bump, only mild symptoms.. Is there really something in there?

Eillimaj · March 2012

Just wondering if there is anyone out there like me? I got the baby news at my 12 week mark before then I had no idea that I was expecting. 5 weeks later (I am now 17 weeks 2 days), other than mood swings and minor weight gain, I don?t feel pregnant! I?m starting to think this is a little on the weird side! I got my 16 wk check-up & sonogram; everything is going fine in there... I am on the heavy side, solid though, tummy didn?t stick out much to begin with. The few ppl that know I am expecting are in denial especially when I tell them how many wks I am! I know most ppl are going to read this thread and say ?What is she complaining about?? I?m not at all complaining, just wondering if there is anyone else that shares the same sentiment?

I only felt a flutter of movement once a couple of weeks ago and I've only just started showing. I had no morning sickness or anything other than exhaustion through the entire first tri

I know what you mean though, it's hard to accept what's happening when you physically don't feel any different- but you will. Give it a few more weeks.

Me! This one has been harder than my first pregnancy but still easy compared to others. I just tell people I'm glad pregnancy agrees with me and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it lasts!

I definitely felt this way in the beginning. Once my m/s started up, then I obviously started to feel pregnant. Before I had many symptoms, it felt so surreal though. They're telling me there's a little baby developing in there, but I didn't feel it or see it, so it was just a strange feeling to me. However, I KNEW I was pregnant before my missed period, at about 3 weeks 5 days, because I just felt like I was pregnant.

I had MANY moments where i doubted there was something in there at all. i just felt fat, no other symptoms for the longest time. I'm now 20 weeks and starting to really look preggers. I have a friend who is on her 2nd pregnancy and she's 27 weeks this week and looks like shes not pregnant at all. still flat as a board tummy and everything. just remember that you will feel the baby moving in the next 6 weeks or so, and it will be more real when you feel those little pokes. also, you're a/s isn't that far off and knowing the gender may help you relate as well. Good luck, I know exactly how you feel, and don't worry, this too shall pass

If everything looked good at your 16 week ultrasound last week, then I wouldn't worry too much. Some women don't get a lot of symtoms. Consider yourself lucky that you don't have morning sickness.

Also, I think a lot of women don't show until close to 20 weeks or even beyond that. It depends on your body type and whether it is your first pregnancy. I'm sure you'll have a bump in the next month or so...

I felt exactly the same way!! I didn't really show until I was in the early 20 week stage. Didn't feel movement until 22 weeks! Took me forever to really believe I was pregnant. People just started noticing I am pregnant within the last few days and I am 25 weeks now! Hang in there...you will feel it eventually

me! before I went to the doctor to confirm my pregnancy the only symptom I had had was a missed period. I kept thinking there was something wrong with me rather than just accepting that I was pregnant with no symptoms lol. Even after they confirmed I was pregnant at a clinic I still had doubts. It wasn't until I heard my babies heartbeat that it all sank in..I cried so much knowing there was a little one in me

. I never had morning sickness and at 24 weeks I look more bloated than pregnant..we're just blessed to have such simple pregnancies! My doctor tells me that at every appt when she asks how I've been feeling
