its normal to not feel the baby until around 18 weeks in a first pregnancy....after that you can pick out the feeling sooner...the pain in your breasts is normal, but it shouldnt be extremely painful. i dont know what you mean about body temp rising, fever? its not normal to have a fever, you may just be getting sick. i would give the doc a call, but as for feeling movement your fine, the baby is about the size of your pinky right now there is no way you could feel that little thing in there.

It's perfectly normal not to feel anything at this stage. Most mothers usually feel the first fetal movements on the fifth month of pregnancy. This is called quickening. Breast tenderness is normal this early in the pregnancy because your body is adjusting to pregnancy hormones and preparing you for breastfeeding.
As for your temperature, make sure YOU DON'T HAVE A FEVER. Max temp should be at 37.5 degrees Celsius. Anything higher than that and you better consult your doctor. NEVER take OTC drugs, or any drug for that matter, for it may cause abnormalities in your fetus.
Good luck having the baby!

Totally normal, you will only start feeling something in you tummy from about 18 - 20 weeks. It all depends on your weight etc, woman that are a little bigger might only start feeling their babies later than woman that is skinny.
The reason that no one has the same information for you is that there is a wide range of normal. "Most" women feel fetal movement (quickening) at 18 weeks if it is their first baby (i.e. 18 weeks from your last menstrual period -- LMP). Some multiparas (those who have already carried a child to term) feel movement earlier, simply because they know what it feels like. The normal range is 16 to 20 weeks (LMP).
Fetal movement feels like "little mice tumbling around in your lower abdomen" or "little flutters that stop just as they started" or "gas bubbles" or any number of different ways women can describe it.
If your care provider has a doppler, he or she could tell you when they hear fetal movement and then you could decide if you feel something at the same time. Generally, if women think they feel something, it is usually fetal movement.
One of the difficulties with normal times to feel first movement is that we don't all have 28 day cycles, even though certain pregnancy landmarks, including due dates, are calculated as if we all did.

Yes, perfectly normal. Aside from sore breasts and morning sickness (unless you're lucky enough to avoid it), there really are very few signs that you're pregnant this early on. You may notice you're having trouble sleeping at night and also you're peeing more often.... but in terms of physical symptoms, there isn't much until around the halfway mark of the 2nd trimester when you start to show and your baby's movements get strong enough so you can feel them.
Relax and enjoy it, because having very little or no signs doesn't last long... soon enough you'll have heartburn, swollen ankles and all sorts of other fun physical ailments! Congrats and good luck!

at this time your body is increasing it's blood supply to nurish the baby. Eat 4-6 small meals through the day, rich in iron, protein, calcium, and folic acid.
Drink plenty of fluids, water is best.
If you feel concerned or worried then give you Dr. a call.

You're too early to feel anything in your belly. Wait about 2 more months.
