This is my first pregnancy and I was just wondering what everyone elses belly feels like if they press on it, and where they are feeling it at. I am at 13 weeks right now. Also I was wondering when they started to notice it felt differnt. Is there anyone not showing or not feeling a difference?

It feels tight, like there is no more room in there! And I am only 15 weeks, so I know it's going to get worse! ;P The strange part is, I haven't gained any weight, but I have this little belly. And bb's! Where did they come from? A lot of people don't think I'm showing at all, - but I don't fit into any of my clothes/bras so I know better! :) I am seeing my midwife today and hope to find out if I'm ok or if it's urgent that I start gaining. Oh, and this is my first, too!

My first baby too, and haven't really had any changes so far I'm 19 weeks and I don't think I'm showing, although all I can no longer zip up!!. Sometimes I feel the baby moving but it's very isolated, then my belly feels hard and I feel some kind of pressure on it if I lean against something, and sometimes when I do that the baby moves too.

I am 22 weeks and it feels like a rock.. I think the baby is cramming all my inner workings upwards to make room for himself. Can be quite uncomfortable at times. But when I feel him wiggle around in there it makes everything worth it!

when its your first baby, as your muscles havent stretched before, it may take them a while before they decide to really go for it and you show. also you may experience cramping and pain on coughiong and sneezing, which is normal, and gladto hear that it only normally happens in the first pregnancies.
