18 weeks pregnant with first and not showing and no movements felt on regular basis.

[Wishful2013]

I am first timer and 18+ weeks pregnant today. I want to know if it is normal to not show a lot at this time. No one can figure out unless I have eaten a lot meal and wear a tight t-shirt. I believe no one can call me pregnant if i am in my jackets and a cozy tees. Also i have not felt any regular movement so far. Someday there are flutters but then its silent for ages. I am yet to wait for 18 days before i could see or get any gp. I have lost 2 previous pregnancies and a paranoid in third one. I hope to hear and learn from your experiences

Are your pics on instagram? I couldnt find them on your profile.

thats huge help. Are you still on metformin or stopped. I am told that its up to me as it wasn't for diabetes but for PCO and it has achieved its aim. However, i am bit afraid to stop it completely.

Thanks once again everyone.. it is a huge help to have you ppl around :)

it depends in your body & how much you weighed pre-pregnacy

My sister didn't show till 7 months, your baby is probably positioned further back ?

I'm a FTM, my belly isn't BIGGG though lol but I am showing, like you, I have to wear tight shirts, I can't even wear jeans though, if you saw a picture of my stomach at 7weeks to now at 18 weeks, you can definitely see a big difference. I had a miscarriage about a month before I got pregnant again, I'm always worrying about miscarrying, but try to stay calm and stress free (easier said than done, I know... lol) I've only felt movement a few times here and there, I'm hoping in the next few weeks I'll start feeling more movement and I'm sure you will as well!

I'm 31 weeks and just now get asked by strangers if I am pregnant. My fiancé's family always said they couldn't tell I was either. Just depends on him much you gain and where. Good luck with your little one! And sorry about your loss.

I didn't start showing until I was around 26 weeks. Im 34 weeks now and people tell me I look like im only around 4 months but my lil man is healthy as can be. I didn't start feeling movement until I was was around 23 weeks but once it started he never stopped. You'll get there soon (:

I alwys wondered the same thing at your stage. I didn't start really showing until week 28 and that's also when I started feeling regular movement
