Petite mums?

Question

Hi I'm 16 weeks pregnant and 125lbs (8 stone 13) pre pregnancy I was 122lbs (8 stone 10).

I'm not worried as such but when it comes to feeling the baby move, my husband seeing the baby move, my stomach moving etc. I haven't got a bump. Or anything remotely close.

I'm just wondering. Any small mums who stayed small have any problems with this? Seems a dumb question but the thought of my stomach moving and seeing kicks against a flat stomach seems unfathomable to me.

(Please no comments about how I might "pop" etc, I already know this is a possibility.)

Answer

My bump is very small I'm 20 weeks now I been feeling baby since 17 weeks and my boyfriend felt on Easter at 19 weeks

Answer

I'm only 21 weeks and I started out prepregnacy at 100-110 and I am currently 112-120 (weight fluctuates) (: I am having a girl and I am just starting to get a bump, I have a feeling in five weeks I'll be bigger!(: she weighed 12oz at my anatomy scan which was March 28th (:

Answer

Started small, now I'm 38 weeks and still could pass as a few months, haven't experienced any issues, I had a little siatic pain about mid way through but other than that, baby is happy and healthy :)

Answer

Movement comes between 16-20 weeks and sometimes even later, don't worry dear, you will feel baby soon, just be patient, and about a week or 2 after you feel baby kicks your husband should be able to feel it too. Things like your placenta location can affect how much movement you feel, with both my first and now this baby I felt my first real movement/kicks at 17 weeks and hubby shortly after. :) it is different for each person and sometimes hard to notice if you are active, a small belly shouldn't affect you feeling kicks unless your placenta is in the way. :)
