Today is the first day of my 14th week of
pregnancy. The last 4-5 weeks have been
great...No more morning sickness. Now all
of a sudden, I have it again! I've been
told this is normal because the hormones
fluctuate but feel worried that i'm about
to start my second trimester and am
getting sick again out of the blue. I
also don't feel like i'm getting any
bigger. My tummy started popping out
about 2 weeks ago but I haven't noticed
much change since then. Other first
trimester symptoms have also worn off. My
breasts are no longer sore. I feel
frustrated because I feel like I should
"feel" pregnant by now. This is my second
and feel like I should be bigger and ready
for maternity clothes and i'm not even
close. My next appointment is next week
which will put me at 6 weeks since my last
appointment. Should I be worried about
anything? Thanks for your input.

Every pregnancy is different. With my
1st child I didn't start showing until I
was about 5 mo preg. But because there
were people that doubted me I would push
out my stomach, just so that I didn't get
questions. Everything will be fine, and
you may be stressed with your 1st preg and
not living up to expectations, which are
not good to focus on. Just go with the
flow, ya know...Joe. Ha ha. Just dont'
worry, and everything will "fit" into
place.
Good luck and best wishes,
jennifer

I know every pregnancy is different.
Everyone keeps telling me that. This one
has been worse than my first and I keep
telling my husband I will never get
pregnant again! I also worry about
everything and now that I have a baby
growing inside me, I worry constantly.
This is such a frustrating time. Since
i'm not very big yet and can't feel the
baby move yet, I have a hard time
believing the baby is okay. I hear these
horror stories about babies that have
passed away but the woman shows no signs.
That scares me to death! I just wish I
could hear the heartbeat and know it's
still growing.
Thanks again!

Hey, I am also 14 weeks and still wearing
mostly my regular clothes. This is my
fourth pregnancy, I thought I would be
bigger too, because with my last son I
poked out by two months! I still haven't
really felt it move either and I only
heard the heartbeat for the first time on
wednesday. I turned 14 weeks on tuesday.
Good luck! I hope everything works out
okay.
