I was 115lbs when I got pregnant, so I showed very quickly. Not much you can really do, the baby is just going to get bigger.
Being tired is VERY normal, get lots of rest. I found sleeping on my side with a pillow between my knees and one tucked under my belly was the most comfortable.
My son was 9lbs 5oz and 23 inches at birth so when he was moving around in my womb it was VERY uncomfortable. He would stretch out a leg and press as far as he could. It looked like an alien trying to escape...kinda neat to see but doesn't feel nice at all!
Good luck and get lots of rest and eat many small, healthy meals....watch your carbs, they pack on the pounds fast. Trust me on that one because I gained 65lbs!

I am also very small and when I was pregnant my girls moved around a lot and it also hurt sometimes. My first daughter actually split my ribs apart because her head was up so high. The pain was intense. Sometimes they would kick their foot or shoot their little hand out where you could see it. Sometimes that hurt, too. I think the fatigue and appetite loss are just part of the entire pregnancy, but all the movement of the baby could make you tired and not feel hungry...it's a funny thing that your body is feeling.
I think that your situation is normal, but call your doctor to talk about it. A lot of hospital obstetrics departments have nurses that you can call and talk to. Try that.
Good luck!

Being tiny, you probably feel it more than someone who is larger. Now is the time when he will start getting pretty active and when he gets bigger, like 8 months along...he wont have as much room to do it. It is normal for him to move like that though. Just try to get lots of rest, take your vitamins, eat healthy and eat when you are hungry. If you continue not having an appetite...you may want to mention it to your doctor at your next prenatal visit. Good Luck!!!

Well coming from another little girl who had big babies(my last one was 10Lb 5oz) I think you just feel it more because there is plain well no room for the baby to move and it may feel squashed. As for losing your appetite that can just be bubs leaning in wrong spot. But if you are really concerned you should see a doctor, it is better to be safe then sorry

It is normal to feel your baby move at as early as 16 weeks i believe the tiredness comes with pregnancy and loss of appetite as well...make sure u are trying to eat right so that enuf food goes to the baby...the hurting part is normal too and itll get worse but then when u have the baby you forget all about it...good luck!!

Talk to your doctor because I don't think him moving should make you feel hurt and tired and lose your appetite. But just because I've never heard of it doesn't mean it's not normal.

You don't say where the pain is - however, if it is a feeling of pain in the lower belly or upper thighs, it is completely normal. Sometimes, a warm bath will sooth this pain. If it continues, speak w/your doctor - it could also be muscle spasms.
