You may be feeling flutters, but it's not the baby. When you are pregnant you digest MUCH slower so the baby can get all the nutrients that it can get, so that can feel different to you.
I was 128 pre-preggo, and 5'3" so about the same build as you, and I felt movements at 16 weeks and was told that was early. Approx time to feel is about 18-20 weeks.
Showing? I started to show at about 14 weeks, but only close friends and family knew I was pregnant... other people didn't start asking or commenting until about 20-24 weeks... somewhere's in there...
Congrats on your pregnancy! You should sign up at www.pregnancyweekly.com... they don't send you spam emails just what to expect week by week and you can go to "My Birth Club" on that site and it's a forum of women who are due the same month and year as you. DEFINITELY got me through a bunch!!!
Best wishes!!!

You'll probably start to show at about 14 or 15 weeks. You will probably not feel it move until 16-20 weeks. That flutter you are feeling is probably muscle spasms or new veins pumping. There is no way it is the baby.

The flutters are just gas at the time you won't feel your baby move for a while. Every woman is different and they start to show at different times. . This is your first baby and your abdominal muscles are very tight, but just hang on you've got a long way to go and many things to experience. Everything will happen when it's ready to happen but don't stress your baby won't like that. Cangratulations:)

You will probably start to show in another month or so and that's when you will really start feeling the baby move too. The fluttering is normal. By the way, congratulations! Have fun and enjoy your pregnancy! Then be the best mom you can be!

That's not flutter that's your muscles or something. The baby is wayyyy to small for you to feel him/her. I started feeling movements around 16-18 weeks.

You will start to feel the baby between 16-20 weeks!

Your baby is about the size of a sunflower seed right now. You shouldn't feel it moving. Since it is your first you shouldn't show for quite some time. Maybe around 16 weeks.

You dont feel baby move until like 18-20 wks and that is just quick flutters.
You probably won't show until your 7th month.

I don't think it's the baby you're feeling... I was about 3 months when I first felt it. Depending on how you're carrying, and your body type will determine when you start to show. Your clothes will start feeling tight by 3 months, and you'll be in an ackward stage where you're too small for maternity clothes, and too bloated for your normal clothes.... this is your excuse to wear sweats 24/7... go for it.

that is gas, you cannot possibly feel your baby this soon. it is to tiny to feel yet. as far as showing that is different for everyone so there is no way to know even based on you size.
