I just had one concern. I am 11 weeks pregnant and hardly have a stomach. I just have a slight bump on my lower abdomen, the rest of me is pretty much the same. I have my doctors appt on the 21st but I thought I would get some advice before to ease my mind a bit about this.

Is this normal or should I worry?:(

Each woman's pregnancy is as unique as the baby she is carrying. Many women don't start showing until about 5 months (19-20 wks). You may even see a difference in your first pregnancy versus subsequent pregnancies. The issue of "showing" isn't what should worry you. Be more concerned with what your doctor is telling you about your baby's growth and development. I was VERY big when I was pregnant although I only gained 16lbs throughout the entire pregnancy. But my baby's measurements were on target for his gestational age and he weighed a healthy 7 lbs 14 oz at birth. Trust your doctor; if he says you're OK, relax.

This is my second pregnancy and I am 8 months pregnant now. My friend is 5 months pregnant and our bellies are the same size. All women carry differently... I wouldn't worry unless the doctor tells you something is wrong.
