Wow,I am in exactly the same situation!I am also 17 wks.,have not felt the baby move,and have not gained much weight(though my belly is popping out a little).I think it is probably fine.Different women experience pregnancy differently.Is this your first pregnancy?That may be why you haven't felt the baby yet.It may have moved but you might not have recognized it as the baby moving if it's your first.As for not showing yet,Were you so sick during 1st trimester that you lost weight(that happened to me)?That may be why you are not showing yet.I have a little bit of a bump,but it's not really noticable(except to my fiance).You are probably fine.Interesting how similar our situations are!Let me know how it goes.Good luck!

yes this is very normal if this is your first pregnancy you may not feel any significant kicks until about 20 weeks but look out butterfly feelings in your tummy or a feeling of bubbles in your belly this normally how it feel when your baby is moving around this early on . Dont worry about not showing my first pregnancy at 8 months people still didnt notice my bump was different the next time round though

No problem at all, especially if first pregnancy. In my first I didn't feel anything 'til 22 weeks! So many factors affect each pregnancy, not least of all if your placenta is at the front or back of your tummy. First pregnancy might not show until 20-23 weeks. You will worry anyway, it comes with the territory. Good luck though.

Everyone is different. I´m 19 weeks pregnant and only started feeling my baby a couple of days ago, what a awesome feeling. My sister only started feeling her baby at 20 weeks but she was bigger (fatter) than me, that also plays a role. And as for your tummy that will come slowly now, give it time..... I´m still not wearing maternity clothes ( Lucky me) ......
Enjoy it while it lasts.....

It will all start to happen in the next few weeks. I started to feel movements at 17.5 weeks and started showing at around 19-20 weeks. You should feel the first movements in the next 2 or 3 weeks, if not sooner.

if your doctor says its normal then im sure you have nothing to fear, relax and enjoy this wonderful time, you'll feel the baby kick soon and believe me near the end of your pregnancy you'll swear about it keeping you up at night lol
