Reassurance please =)

So im 12 weeks pregnant with my First kid and yet i still fit in all my clothes. im not showing at all and have never gotten morning sickness. my last Ultrasound at 8 weeks 3 days they said that everything was good and its the second time a heartbeat was found =) this time being 153bpm. but because im not showing and my next ultrasound isn't till this friday ive been worrying ever since. Im not due until December but everyone i talk to seems to show early. So im nervous that maybe somethings wrong with the baby or what if i go and they can't find a heartbeat? or what if im not pregnant anymore. i haven't had  any spotting or cramping but i still worry non stop about little things! Help Please!

I'm 11 weeks, and the only thing I've had to do is by new bras, my tummy just looks like I snuck a couple donuts, but I'm still under my pre-pregnancy weight. My fiance's the only one who's noticed my tummy bump, but otherwise I'm not really showing at all and I still fit in all my clothes.

I only noticed a bump when I laid down when I was 17 weeks, but nobody else could tell.  I didn't start showing until I hit the 24 week mark.... and was still in my normal clothes.

You have nothing to worry about. I was 19 when I had my first and I did not show until I was 5 month prego! Now I'm 29 and prego with my third and I couldn't fit into my clothes after the first month. Everybody's body is different. No need to worry you will start showing within a couple months...Good luck

you need to remember that the fetus is very small. It's likely you will not show until much later. Go this web page http://3dpregnancy.parentsconnect.com/calendar/12-weeks-pregnant.html. Resources will help give you an idea of the progress your baby is making, and the changes that going on with your body.

I know how you feel..I didnt start showing until really late because I carried more towards my back and im quite tall so I didnt show until 25 weeks. Didnt tell my mum and she just thought I wasnt holding in my stomach (she would remind me to as shes a fitness instuctor..she said it was better for my abs) Even said i should go on a detox to get rid of bloating..she felt so silly when I told her I was preggo. LOL.

Yes..it's completely normal. This is my second pregancy and I didn't show as early this time around. I only popped out about 2 weeks ago. (I am almost 22 weeks) I can actually still fit into some of my normal clothes even still. Everyone is different and shows at different times. Try not to worry. I'm sure everything is fine! =)

I started showing around 12-13 weeks with Jaxson. Everyone is different and I am sure you will be totally reassured at your next ultrasound! =)

Try and relax, stress isn't good for pregnant ladies. =)

You shouldn't worry because not only does the worrying stress your body out which in turn stresses your baby out. That's not meant to scare you or make you worry more but I'm the exact same way. I'm 16 weeks and 3 days along and I just don't feel pregnant at all and before I went to my doctor's appointment I was terrified they wouldn't find a heartbeat but sure enough, it was there. You may not feel pregnant but don't fret! Be happy you're not one of the unlucky majority that gets so nauseous they have to stay in bed! I'm not even showing at 4 months but I'm expecting something soon enough! You're in good condition if you're not spotting or having any prolonged cramps.
