scared and paranoid

im 17.1 weeks and my I havent felt my baby move and im hardly showing at all when there are women who are 15 weeks or less that look 6 months pregnant. Im scared that when i go to see my midwife for the first time that she will give me that heartbreaking news that ive lost my baby, am i being over paranoid?

I'm 18 weeks and barely have a pooch. And I rarely feel the "fluttering" that they talk about. I just saw my OB today and she said that its perfectly normal. So it's a lot of just stress. Try drinking a soda cause sugar is what makes mine move. I don't eat or drink a lot of it either to be healthy. Always worth a try.

I'm 27 weeks today and didn't start to show till i was 22 weeks. Everybody pregnancy is different and i didn't start to feel my son move till i was 24 weeks pregnant. Woman who already have kids show faster than some woman who are on there first one.

I didn't start showing until around 26 weeks :) and your placenta is in the front like mine, you might not feel baby for awhile still!

I didn't feel my baby girl til 19 weeks. And I didn't feel her all the time. Now I'm 27 weeks and Im starting to feel her all the time! Also I still really don't look pregnant most people don't believe me when I tell them. Don't stress hun, just breathe and relax.

When I was 6 months pregnant, I was barely showing, and I was quite thin.  I gave birth to a healthy 9 pounder.  The size of your belly indicates nothing reliable about the size or health of your baby.  You should start feeling movement soon.  Check with your OB/GYN if you are concerned.

Don't be worried, I didn't feel my baby move until I was 23 weeks, and I didn't even look pregnant until the third trimester. You're being over paranoid and I'm sure all is well :)
