You think? Sweetheart, have you been to the doctor? Have you heard the heartbeat, had blood work, and an ultrasound? Or at least have an ultrasound scheduled for the next week or two? Do you take your prenatal? These are very important for both your health as well as the health of your baby. If you have not had these things, you need to get to an OB asap.
There's also a website for a little bit more help. The bump also provides some information on different milestones and what you will be feeling. I would read as much as you can, it will help prepare you a lot better.
It's highly recommended that you use the time you're given before you're allowed to post to lurk, get a feel for the board, and see what people have been discussing. When you come in and post pretty much the exact same thing as two other people posted yesterday (and the day before that, and the day before that...), it makes it seem like you did not use your waiting period properly.
Definitely do read some of the bump articles, some of them really do help! Also once a week you should get an emailed update on how your baby is growing and what you can expect for that week or two. Everything is really scary, I may be older than you but I'm pregnant with my first as well, but you need to be as prepared as you can be. Good luck!
I am 19 weeks with my second and you usually show faster with your second and I'm not showing yet. Went to the doctor today and baby is perfectly healthy right where she should be so its okay don't worry.
I am at 17 weeks and I am the size I was at 26 weeks with my first. I didn't pop until what I thought was much later with my first. I wish this one was the same. Having a bump can be annoying as well. Don't rush things!
With my first I didn't show until 24 weeks or so. I'm 18 weeks now and am not showing. Have gained a total of 1 lb. with the 1st pregnancy I gained 12 lbs. and everything was fine. You will be noticeably pregnant soon enough. Everyone carries differently.
Who cares if the girl reposted the same thing. IT DOESN'T MATTER. She's 15 and probably scared out her mind give her a break.
Slow your roll, I feel like sufficient people have given good advice to ease her mind and make sure she's receiving the care she should. However, I also can't help but notice your post does not.
I read this board frequently. It's frustrating to see how many snarky comments are made daily. Someone posted a repeat about diaper bags. No one went in there and told her use the search function. I'm normally just a reader but now I'm a vigilante.
You joined on June 8th, your name is banned88, and you read the boards soooo much. Something tells me you just didn't turn into a "vigilante". The search function is a valuable tool, and especially valuable to this girl. It's not snarky to point it out. It is however inappropriate to start a fight where one wasn't happening and still not be helpful in anyway to the OP. You want to change the boards? Give some helpful advice yourself and get over that you can't control anyone else's response.
Oh I wasn't suggesting you didn't read them, I was suggesting you were banned for violating the TOU already. The bumpadmin frown upon that. Simmer down zorro.
If I don't read the boards then how do I know LSROO is really ELLASTAXX. I lurk. CREEP IF YOU WILL!
It's really rather rude to name call. And you just proved you were part of a private group where information was shared. Good going on that. You're so bad and we're all so scared.

Never mind, not that bad. You shouldn't name call if you're going to turn around and edit to make yourself look better. Great job changing the story, as usual.
Good lord this went downhill fast. OP, you've gotten some great advice and it seems like you've taken it all in really well. Feel free to ask questions, just look to see if they've been asked before. Often you will get great information reading other threads and you can always add to them no matter how old they are. It will bump it up to the beginning and we will be able to respond.
@BANNED88 please don't take over this young mom's thread. It's being handled well. If continue to be ugly on it she may not get see past that to get the good advice here. It's pretty obvious who you are; please don't hurt someone else's ability to get information.

The thread you're talking about is not a repeat, IMO, as it is in regard to a specific brand, and not diaper bags as a general topic.

Re: I'm not showing at 19 weeks !
There have been a dozen posts on this topic this week alone.
You can "exspect" to show any time between 20 and 25 weeks. It's totally normal. Enjoy not being uncomfortable.
Yes, it's normal.

Obvious AE is obvious. Do better.
I give up.
