17 Weeks 2 days still not much baby bump and I'm skinny. Its like I see the difference and feel the difference but no One else can. When I do see a bump its because of gas was it goes away. I know the baby is suppose to grow drastically now ESP in the next two Weeks. As much as I want a bump I have to remind myself with the bump may come stretch marks. Lol so as long as your eating right and drinking plenty of water let your buddy grow as slow as it wants : P

If you're bigger, you probably won't really show until your past 20 weeks - everything gets pushed up as your uterus rises out of your pelvis near the end of the first trimester so if you're a little "fluffly", you can just end up looking a bit fatter for a while before a definite bump appears.

As for the flutters, it could be your baby. That's how I would describe the first motions I felt with both my first and my second. I remember first feeling them near 15 weeks with both pregnancies but it was not regular or consistent.

Hi there, im also not sure what to feel for.  I feel all day everyday and unsure if that's the baby or gas.  I was having some issues eating since my 7th week and I'm just getting my appitite back. All i was having was my prenatal vitamins, folio acid and iron supplement.  My stomach sometimes growl and so im unsure if that's the baby or me needing food.  I usually drink boost or ensure.  I was on diclectin  for nausea and I've weaned myself off of it.  Sometimes i wonder if the growling of my stomach would make my child deaf.  Im so glad my appitite is coming back.  I started showing at around 13/14weeks im on the slimmer side. Well im 5'9 and 154lbs.  I read somewhere and it says that first time moms may feel the baby during their 20wks.  I often worry and so i go to my family doctor to hear the heartbeat to make sure my baby is still there.
