Hey everyone. I am 14 weeks pregnant. When I got pregnant I weighed about 130 and am 5'1 tall. I have gained 5 or 6 pounds but I am not showing. Is this normal? What about my amount of weight gain? Is it ok?

If this is your first you will not be showing at 14 wks. With my first I didn't go into maternity clothes until I was about 5 months. My doctor's reasoning: your skin is tight and your body is learning what to do. with the next child you will show much earlier.
Average normal weight gain is 30lbs total. That does not mean that you can not gain more or less.

I didnt show until about 6 1/2 to 7 months its completley normal. I didnt get very big either until the very end is when i gained all my weight. Women uaually gail most of thier weight in the beginning or the end or there are the women that agin alot the whole pregnancy. But everyone is different

Totally normal. Especially if it is your first pregnancy. Don't worry--you will "pop" soon! Some women just carry small the whole time too--I had a friend that didn't really show until she was 7 months, and when she gave birth, she really only looked 5 months pregnant or so. She has two healthy babies.

14 weeks is still very early most women dont show at 14 weeks some dont show until 5 or 6 months it depends....and 5 or 6 lbs in my opinion is very healthy weight gain

i didn't start to really show till i was almost 7 months pregnant then it was like i woke up one morning and poof there's my belly and you can really tell now that he's dropped
about your weight gain as long as the ob says that the baby is healthy then i wouldn't worry bout your weight to much one of my friends is 36 weeks and she has only gained a little over 10 lbs

My first pregnancy, I weighed 135 lbs to start. I didn't show til I was 6 months. I had a little pooch but it really wasn't noticable to others til 6 months. Keep in mind that every woman is different and start to show at different times.
If you are anxious to tell the world that your prego (which I don't blame you if you are), I would suggest to start wearing maternity clothes. You don't have to be showing to wear them and it lets the world know that you are a mama to be.

congrats!!! i too am 5'1 and petite (115 pounds), with my son i did not show until about 5 months along. if this is ur first pregnancy it may take a little longer for u to show due to tighter abdominal muscles. in later pregnancies u may show earlier, i am in my second pregnancy now and i have a little bump this time at 2 1/2 months.

Don't worry about it, there is nothing wrong at all. When I was 8 mnths pregnant with my first, I was still in size 12 clothes, nobody knew I was pregnant! yet with my second, was 4mth gone and I looked like I was ready to drop! good luck with your pregnancy and your new baby !!!! X
