babies heath first pregnancy Posted: 03-27-08 14:18pm
I am 20 years old and this is my first
pregnancy. I am always nervous aobut my
babies heath between visits. Every cramp
gets me nervous and i feel that i am not
starting to show at all. I am so excited
for this baby but i dont want my pregnancy
to be nothing but nervous. I went to the
doctor about 4 weeks ago. He said my baby
was excellent with a 178 bpm heart rate
which is awesome but y do i worry if i
say that. i think that it is because i am
not showing and i cant feel the baby!!!
anyone that can give me good advice i
would appreciate it.!! thank you!!!
How far along are you? I only just started
showing at about 28/29 weeks, & even
then people didn't realise I was pregnant
unless I told them. If your doctor is
happy with how your pregnancy is going
then try not to worry so much. It's your
first pregnancy & depending on how far
along you are, you might be feeling the
baby move but not realising it.

Congrats on the pregnancy
It's perfectly normal to worry and stress
a little bit about the baby and how you
are doing, especially if it's your first.
I was still doing it on my sixth baby. So
for me to give you more info on what
things should be like, maybe you should
first tell me how far a long in the
pregnancy you are?
Every pregnancy is different from woman to
woman and each woman has differences from
one pregnancy to the next too. There is
no set in stone list for things that will
happen. You can get the book "What to
expect when you're expecting" which gives
you guidelines for your pregnancy. Or you
can come here too, no problem with that.
Some women don't show until even 6months
pregnant and some will feel the baby move
really early, like 12 weeks, and some
won't feel it until 20. Just give me a
little more info about yourself so we can
help you out a little more

I'm 22 weeks and just barely started
feeling the baby move. WEll wait let me
rephrase that, I just barely started to
realize that the baby was moving. Really
if you don't know what it feels like I
just keep thinking it was gas, and my
imagination. But if you try real hard and
focus, usually it helps if you lay flat on
your back the baby will start hosting the
World Cup in your belly in no time.
Hopefully once you start feeling the baby
move a few times a day that'll give you
some reassurance that everything is ok. I
think being nurveous with your first is
normal, I know in my first trimester I was
always so paranoid that I was always
having a miscarriage, but have been much
better since then. Have you had your
first ultrasound yet. I had mine at 14
weeks and saw the baby moving around like
crazy and knowing that it was doing that
and I couldn't feel it made me a little
more at ease too.

Oh yeah your still really early you most
likely won't start feeling movement for
another month or longer. And not showing
that early on will is ok too, it'll be
weird cause one day you'll wake up and
your belly will have popped out, once that
happens theres no stopping if from that
point. My belly popped out literally over
night and I was about 18-19 weeks. Now
the baby condo is going in full force, and
someone I didn't even know actually
recognized that I was pregnant the other
day. So try to stay calm and be patient
cause it'll all start happening so fast
eventually.

Sweety,
I'm 27wks and 2day and I just now started
to show.
Don't worry a lot. If your doctor said
everything looks good then it is.
I hope you feel better. Good Luck sweety!

It's normal to worry, especially since
this is your first. As long as you don't
bleed, all those little aches and pains
are normal, growing pains if you will.
Don't worry about showing either. I'm
36wks and I still have to tell people I'm
pregnant. But I really 'popped' at about
32wks, but still kinda small.
