Answer 1

Feeling the baby kicking is hard to say. Most start to feel a fluttering inside around 4-5 months or so. That is a sign of movement. Actually feeling the baby kick won't be felt until a few weeks later. It is extemely normal for your stomach to hurt. Remember that you have muscles and ligaments that have never been stretched before and also that there is something inside that is going to be moving around a lot of your organs. A lot of women experience morning sickness and nausea during pregnancy, and not just in the first few months. It can be at any time. However, if you feel anything other than nausea, like you think you might have a fever, it's a good idea to go and see your OB/GYN. Babies can come out and look like any parent, or like none of them. My bother actually looks more like my grandmother and my son actually looks more like my brother. You can talk to your doc about dominant features and what to expect, but always expect the unexpected. Reguardless of who or what your baby looks like doesn't matter, it's still your baby and the most precious thing in the whole world. I actually came out looking like I was Chinese, but I'm caucasain. I no longer look that way. You'll start to see more attributes of you and the father as the baby matures. As for exercises, you should ask you OB/GYN. A lot of women do yoga and walk. No situps and avoid bending over. No jumping jacks and avoid heavy lifting. Don't run or jog. That's what I know, but it depends on you personally and what you doc has to say. As for weight gain, yes. Most women will experience some type of weight gain. More obese women may not gain as much as someone who is small opr average size, but most women can expect to gain an average of 25-30 lbs. This is a good thing however. Your doc will want to see you gain weight to make sure the baby is growing adequately. If you have any more questions, please feel free to IM me or e-mail me. I am more than happy to help! Good Luck and God Bless!!!

Answer 2

between four and five months you start feeling the baby move around. Some women go through pregnancy without throwing up once. I only got really sick about 3 or 4 times. Ive never heard of the thing about coming out looking like the mom or dad, that sounds like an old wives tail.Yes you will always gain weight. If you dont then you need to start worrying because the baby needs to grow and that means that you will be growing as well. If you eat healthy and exercise then you will gain less weight and wont have as much of a problem with getting it off after the baby is born. Good luck. Hope I helped!!

Answer 3

For your first you usually feel movement around 5 months. Morning sickness is different for everybody, some people have it the whole time and some have none at all. It's normal to feel some "stretching" that can be a bit painful, just move slower. The baby can look like either parent, it all depends on the genes and which are dominant or recessive; the gender has nothing to do with is. In a normal pregnancy exercise is very healthy. Don't do heavy weight lifting or anything, just listen to your body, if you get too tired then stop. Weight gain is different for everybody, but they say about 25 pounds is normal. I know how scary it is to be a pregnant teenager and it's normal to have a ton of questions. Ask your doctor, he/she will be glad to answer them for you!

Also, you may want to look into some local support groups for young mothers. I'm not sure where you live but we have several at different churches and organizations here. I know when I had my first child (I was 17) it sure helped me feel less lonely and scared!

Answer 4

You should feel a kick around 4 or 5 months. Yes it's very normal for your stomach to hurt, the baby is growing so it will cause pains. Why would you be throwing up at 4 months in the first place? My daughter looks like the both of us. You can do any exersize that your dr says is okay, probably no running and no stomach crunches. Yes you always gain weight, the baby needs you too eat more in order for them to get bigger so therefore you will gain weight.

I would suggest that you buy a book on pregnancy, "What to Expect When Your Expecting" is an awesome book.

Answer 5

You normally start to feel the baby kick around your 4th month, unless you are a heavier person it could take longer. At first you may not realize its the baby because it feels similar to having gas bubbles. I had my daughter 15 months ago and i sometimes freak out when i get gas because it feels som much like a baby inside me. Of course the further along you get the kicks with become much stronger, and even during the last couple of months your whole stomach will shift from one side to the other and you'll have a huge bulge on one side of your belly. Its actually quite amussing. And yes it is normal for your stomach to hurt sometime. Your growing at such a fast pace your stomach muscles need to adjust, and trust me the stomach pains and aches dont go away, so get used to them. Every women is different, so you may experiance morning sickness at a different stage, or you may not have it at all, just pray that u dont. And as for what the babys gonna look like, it all depends on the baby. It may come out looking like you, the dad, both of you, or even neither one of you at first. I had a girl myself and she looked identical to my newborn picture, so it all depends on the genes. You should Probably talk to your doctor about what exercises you can do, she/he will know whats best. And YES you are going to gain weight, there is no way around that one if you want a healthy baby, Although some girls gain less weight than others, so maybe you'll be one of the lucky ones. My advice to you, since you are so curious is to go out and by the book "what to expect when your expecting" That book was literally my bible for 9 months! Another good one is "your pregnancy, week by week" That one breaks it down into weeks. And also try to watch those baby shows they play on t.v. My favorite was "Birth Day" On the discovery health channel. It takes you through the whole labor and delivery. And trust me it shows Everything. It may scare you a little, but trust me it will help you during the labor and delivery because you'll know what to expect, and more than likely there wont be any surprises. Sorry for the novel i just wrote, I hope it helps and good luck.

Answer 6

NO need to be sorry, and congrats!!!
Im 20 weeks pregnate now and I first felt the baby move when I was about 18 weeks, and yes, my tummy hurts sometimes I noticed that it hurts right when I wake up but everyone is different. As for the exercises, I'm a natural walker, I walk everywhere, so about 3 or 4 times a week I take weights and do some wall sits while doing kegal exercises (they say it helps out to start it early to help out with labour, you should check into it) and as for weight gain I've only gained about 3 pounds but I'm tall to begin with, so my doctor says just to keep active, eat several small meals in a day and drink LOTS of water. Well, good luck with your baby and remember, get out there daily and go for a walk, You'll feel better about yourself in the long run.

Answer 7

usually the baby starts kicking around 5 months. it's normal for your stomach to hurt. It's normal to throw up around month four, you could have some symptoms of morning sickness. I've heard the same thing about boys looking like the mom and girls looking like the dad, but this is my 1st pregnancy with a boy, so I will have to wait and see if it's true. congradulations on being pregnant.

Answer 8

If i can remember from my last pregnancy, It's around 4-5 months when you feel your baby. It's very common to feel crampy like in your uterus area for like the 1st 2 months in your pregnancy. But it's only ok if your not bleeding. If your bleeding then you need to be seen. It's very common to not throw up when your pregnant. Im in my 2nd pregnancy and ive never thrown up in either one of my pregnancies. Ive never heard of that about babies looking like either one of the parents. I think that you can't tell until the baby gets older. Exercise, you can go on walk and stuff but not stuff that raises your heart rate alot. That's not good on the baby. And yes!!! you ALWAYS gain weight when your pregnant. It all depends on what your pre pregnancy weight is. But you should gain anywhere from 15-25 pounds all together. If you havent been to a doctor yet you really need to go. You need to be taking prenatal pills everyday or your baby will have some birth defects. So, good luck and go to the doctor.

Answer 9

I started feeling "flutters" or kinda like i had butterflies in my stomach around 4-5 months. Didnt actually feel kicking for about a month later. The thing about boys looking like mom, etc is bull!! And yes, you should always gain 15-25 pounds during a healthy pregnancy...good luck

Answer 10

1- Depends very much on each person. I felt movement before 12 weeks! It feels like butterflies in your tummy to start with!

2- Your stomach will hurt from time to time, there's a lot going on in there! If it's very bad, seek medical help though!

3-Throwing up does not always come with pregnancy, and anything is normal there! Some woman don't feel sick at all, others throw up for the whole 9 months, most are in between!

4- I don't know! Babies rarely really look like their mom or dad to me! They just look like themselves! LOL I think everybody finds something in the baby that they want to see, but however he/she is going to look, you'll probably be surprised, but think it's the best looking baby ever!

5-Try to get a dvd or class for pregnancy yoga - you'll be glad if you do. Go for nice long walks, you'll get loads of benefit from it.

6- Yes, you will gain weight! You are carrying another person inside you! Eat sensible and lots of fruit and veg, drink lots of water, don't starve yourself! But if you are careful and don't pig out like most of us do when we are pregnant! :-) you won't have much to lose afterwards. Remember even when you gain weight, it does not matter, pregnant woman are beautiful. And breastfeed when baby is here, it really helps a lot in getting you back in shape.

Most of all though, CONGRATULATIONS! Good luck and take good care of yourself and little one.
