[quote=Anonymous]OP, that happened with both my pregnancies--totally normal. The changes you see in your belly before that point are related to water retention and other hormonal changes, not the baby (who is still teeny tiny). I didn't start to show for real with #1 til 22 weeks and 16-17 weeks with #2. You are at the end of the first trimester, and a lot of the tough growth is done so your hormones are settling down (also why morning sickness often improves at the 12-week point). Enjoy this period--you will feel very, very pregnant soon enough, and will be missing this little respite! This is also why people say to travel, go out to dinner, etc. in the second trimester--by the third, you will be dealing with sore muscles, ligament pain, heartburn, etc., etc., etc. Unless you see bleeding or have pain, don't stress and know that you are completely normal--and plan a night out with your partner or a lunch date with friends to take advantage of this special time![/quote]
