need adivce

My doctor thinks taht I could be about 6 weeks pregnant but I don't feel any different as if I weren't pregnant, well other than the only symptom which is my lower back aches.  I was wondering if anyone else is in the same boat.  I'll I ever get syptoms?  This is silly but at about what week will my belly start to show.  I know it doesn't show right off.  I just need some reassuance.

chances are, your in for a load of symptoms and changes and enjoy the lack there of while it lasts!  maybe you'll even be one of those rare lucky ones that gets to enjoy the experience instead of grit your teeth and bare through it.  wear all you skinny cloths and go enjoy yourself while you can, one way or another it will all change soon enough.  
i forget what week you start to show.  my daughter is ten now.  if you do have a daughter, don't teach her how to talk, because that turns into talking back!  ;-)  good luck

Some people don't have any symptoms at all.  My doctor thinks I should be almost 7 weeks, and the only symptoms I really have are tender breasts and all of a sudden liking spicy food.  I was also really really tired at first, but that's even subsided a little bit.  I don't have any morning sickness, or anything like that.  My doctor did tell me though that I may not be as far along as we originally thought, and it could just be too early to feel any symptoms.  So good luck, and hopefully you'll be included in the lucky few that don't have a ton of symptoms!!!  As far as showing, it really depends on the size of the baby and the size of you.  I've known super skinny girls that didn't show until 5 or 6 months, and bigger girls that showed at 3 months.  It all depends.
