Worried for no reason?

Before I became pregnant I was 5'10 and weighed 140, I'm almost 15 weeks along and barely have gained 4lbs on a good day. What I'm mostly over thinking about is the fact that I have no bump or roundness in my belly at all:( I'm sure I'm being impatient and overreacting I would love to hear some experiences from other moms! Oh and this is my first pregnancy.

I'm 5'10 as well and didn't gain any weight during the beginning of my pregnancy. I'm 21 weeks and I literally just started to show( barely noticeable). Also taller women tend to show later because of their longer torso. You're still pretty early along too so I wouldn't worry.

That's normal! I gained almost no weight until after 20 weeks and then hit all hit me... I've gained 35 at 33 weeks.

With my 1st pregnancy I didn't' start showing till I was 26 weeks n gained 33 lbs in total. With this pregnancy it's just so different, I'm 26+5 n I practically started showing the day I found out I was pregnant n have only gained 3 lbs.

That's perfectly normal by then end of your first trimester you should only gain between 2 and 6 pounds. Total weight gain should be between 25 and 35 pounds and most women gain the majority towards the end of their pregnancy. I didn't have a visible bump till 17 weeks and this is my 2nd pregnancy. Most women in the first show later.
