    With my first i showed very early.. like 13 weeks i was in maternity clothes. Im only just showing now with my second and only just not fitting into maternity at 19 weeks. Some people just show early, some late.
    With kicks.. with DS i felt them at 16 weeks 4 days.. think one, ive hardly felt anything. A few niggles here and there but nothing like DS's.

    Just shows everyone and every pregnancy is different, no matter if its your first, second or 50th!

    Hey Bugalug

    I felt the same way too. I only had a very small bump which grew slowly during my pregnancy and I kept thinking..'shoudn't I be bigger then this??' I went and had an US at 34 weeks because I still felt so small compared to other people, and it showed the chubbiest bubba (with big fat cheeks and all )!! TBH, it was only in the very last few weeks that I really started to grow. Then when DD was born she was a lovely size- 7lbs 7oz.

    We all carry differently and babies sit in all different positions...I am sure you have nothing to worry about. 19 weeks is still very early and your baby bump has got a whole lot of growing to do yet!

    As for movements, depending on where your placenta is lying you will probably feel some movements very soon.

    Go see your ob if you need to chat to someone and are really concerned.

    All the best

    i remember what i wore to my 18 week u/s with DD and it was just a normal work skirt, not maternity at all.. i really showed from around 26 weeks or so.. with DS i was in maternity clothes from around 14 weeks.. every one is diff.. i am sure you will be fine!
