I am pregnant, my last period was around October.8th so I'm about 8 weeks pregnant right now. My symptoms have got better REALLY fast, tho i still puke at least once a day when i first wake up or at night when i get tired. I thought before my belly was growing but I guess I was wrong. Every morning my belly gets empty and sinks in. Right now I have no stomach still, so I'm wondering, is this normal to not be showing my baby bump yet at 8 weeks? Could I of lost my baby???

love-him agony auntHey get it checked at a doctors, however, if anything at two months pregnant, some people dont show anything, as the foetus is around the size of a bean. If you are worried, seek medical help. I hope i helped, feel free to mail me x x x

CaringMummyof2 agony aunti wouldn't worry hun, people show at different stages, some may look huge where others might have a tiny bump, i didnt start showing untill i was around 6 months and i went massive, i also know friends that never really looked pregnant untill the last few months of there pregnancy,to be honest i think 8 weeks is really early to notice a bump, if your concerned about this then i would advise you to see your GP, good luck x

birdynumnums agony auntI showed at 4 months too, the results being an 8 lb baby. With my 10.4 lb baby, I showed earlier, and then I quickly turned into the size of a small RV. Emily's right! See your OB/GYN and get on those prenatal vitamins! Sounds like you are a normal size! Good Luck, Hun!!!

I didn't show till 7 months.I delivered a healthy baby.I had gone to the hospital check up at 6 months and the heavily pregnant woman next to me asked "Why have you come to the hospital?".It depends on the genetics mostly.

I have read that mostly women start showing at 16-20 weeks.

Please don't stress yourself out.Stress is not helpful for the baby.Go visit a doctor as Emily and Eyes said.

eyeswideopen agony auntEmily's right, why waste time asking us? Go to a doctor immediately, prenatal care is vital. I CAN tell you that it's entirely normal not to show at 8 weeks, I never showed until I was 4 months along. Make an appointment with a doctor.
