Hey its me again haha..... i am a newbie at this whole thing so here i am again

I am now at 11 weeks and 5 days starting today....and was curious and was wondering if those of you who have gone through pregnancy or are more in the know than me, could shed some light on my worries. Is it normal/ok that i am not really showing yet? Like bump wise? I looked at the bump thread and most people by six weeks or seven, nine weeks etc already have bumps to some degree....and i know everyone is different along with their bodies and if they've had kids prior but i still wonder.....my next question/worry is, i heard your supposed to feel a hard/firmness in your pelvic area or lower stomach below your belly button or somewhere around there? Here and there i think i feel some sort of firmness but say tonight when i laid down and relaxed my belly muscles and pressed around it felt soft and not firm or pronounced, is that ok? Ahh lol sorry if these are odd questions lol just hope everything is ok with the baby....I am not going in to see my doctor till the 14th this month so five more days to go lol.....I've had mild barely there cramping here and there but mostly no cramping....just had some mild /barely there ones days ago that lasted like two days or less , and now no cramping and otherwise no, blood or sharp pains or anything bad that i've noticed....Am i just probably being paranoid? lol thanks

first time round i didn't start showing till around the 4 month mark so about 16 weeks.
Then i couldn't stop it lol!
By 39 weeks i had a huge bump..but only gave birth to a 5lb 10oz baby! my bump was mostly water....every pregnancy is different. x HTH

I am not showing either!! I was 17 weeks when I lost my last and had only just started showing. I can feel my uterus when stood, but not when laying down. Aches pains and mild cramps are normal for most, hopefully this is the case for you, but your dr will be able to make a better assessment!!!

Thank You for the responses.....I haven't really felt cramping for a few weeks, just those two days of barely there mild ones a week or so ago....otherwise no, is that ok?

Newmom - don't worry! Everyone's different. Mostly, if a lady has a bump at 6-7 weeks, it's just bloating, not baby. I'm looking chubby myself, but no bump yet! It's my first (and a first bump is different than a second bump) but I know it's okay as I've had a recent scan and heard the hb this morning.

My cramps pretty much went away after about week 8, except now I pull abdominal muscles when I get up too quickly. Not to worry, we'll probably get some kind of cramp soon enough (ouch). But for the meantime, baby's nice and settled in.

Relax, honey, you're fine!

Thanks Annie I feel more reassured now....I guess I will just have to wait till my next scan which is in five days :O I just hope all goes well!
