Floss,

Your belly is about the same size as mine at 16 weeks! Have a look on Bub's website and check it out for yourself. Since this is first pregnancies for both of us, I think we're both just taking our time popping out. You're a gym junkie too, so would be another reason why your muscles are staying taught. I was also reading in a book called "Birth" that your body will have a baby that is suitable for your body size and since you're not a huge person, don't expect an Elephant! LOL

As far as the doppler goes, if you do get it, don't panic if you don't hear anything. The ones at the hospital are far more sensitive, so will pick up the heartbeat 1000 times better than the ones most people buy.

If you're feeling flutters, it won't be long before they turn into kicks! I felt flutters at 15 weeks and now they're kicks and flips and lots of wriggles. Absolutely awesome feeling and also really good for putting your mind at ease.

Relax and enjoy your pregnancy!
