Okay, so im in my eighteen week of pregnency and my belly looks the same from the beggining. And everyone is always asking me if im still pregnet cause I look the same as I did before I even got pregnet! I just look like iv gained a little weight. I don't even think Iv felt the baby move yet. When am I suppose to actualy start looking and feeling pregnet?

I'm not as far along as you are, I'm almost 13 weeks, but I honestly don't feel pregnant at all because my belly has not grown and I don't get morning sickness. I was at the doctor last night for my monthly appointment and she told me that because I'm small to begin with (115 lbs. 5'6") and it's my first pregnancy I may not start showing for another few months. I'm also young, 20 years old, and physically active which may be factors as well. She told me it's nothing to worry about and that it does NOT mean that the baby isn't growing or that anything is wrong.
I totally understand where you are coming from, I've been seeing all these pictures of women with huge baby bellys while everyones saying to me "I thought you where pregnant?"

i didnt start to look pregnant until around 25 weeks and you cant really feel anything until around 20 weeks or so

im with penswriter on this one most women dont show until there have way there i didnt start showing until i was 6 months along and even than it was more like an over night thing too so i wouldnt worry about it if ur small than ull stay small until you have the over nite blow up and it will happen and as far as feeling the baby i was around 20 wks i think but its diffrent for everyone so youve got about 2 more wks i would say but just wait itll happen out of no where

most women don't "pop" until closer to 20 weeks. you can go from a pudgy tummy to an enormous belly within a few days. at least that's how it was for me. some women never get huge bellies. i had an aunt who gained 5 lbs and went from size 2 to size 4 during her pregnancy.
