Your baby is still small, so at around 18 weeks pregnant, it'll be more of a gentle flutter than a forceful kick in your belly.

A: It doesn't happen to all pregnant women. But sometimes a growing baby in the uterus can put so much pressure on a woman's abdominal wall that her normally “innie” belly button becomes an “outie.” It typically happens in the second or third trimester of pregnancy, most commonly around 26 weeks.

As your uterus expands during your pregnancy, you may experience "growing pains" around the middle, or what your OB-GYN calls round ligament pain. Many women start feeling it around week 14 of pregnancy, but it can strike at any time from the second trimester on.

It's very common -- and normal -- to have an upset stomach when you're pregnant. Chalk it up to pregnancy's hormonal changes. It usually happens early in pregnancy, while your body is adjusting to the higher hormone levels.

There isn't a set stage when mums-to-be begin to show a pregnant belly. Every woman is different. If you're a first-time mum, you'll probably notice your waist starts to be a bit thicker around 11 weeks, but other people won't see any difference just yet. At about 13 weeks, you may see a small bump.

Pregnancy symptoms at seven weeks You won't have a bump for a while yet, but your womb (uterus) is already expanding to accommodate your growing baby. As this happens, the tissues supporting your womb (ligaments) will stretch and you may feel mild cramps or twinges in your tummy.

Women usually notice the changes in their navel around the second trimester of pregnancy. As your uterus continues to expand, it pushes your abdomen forward. Eventually, your belly button pops out due to your growing abdomen.

Your baby will also have less room to move around towards the end of your pregnancy. You may find that the number of movements you feel plateaus at about 32 weeks, but they should still be regular right up until you go into labour. If she becomes more active at this stage though, this isn't usually a cause for concern.

Mom's Body at 18 Weeks Pregnant If this is your first pregnancy, you may feel the baby begin to move inside your belly sometime soon. This fluttering feeling is known as quickening. As your baby gets bigger, you may notice stronger movements and maybe even kicks in the weeks to come.

5 Weeks Pregnant Belly. At 5 weeks pregnant, your belly may look unchanged—or you may be a bit bloated or feel like you've already gained a pound. Heck, you might feel so sick that you can't eat and worry you could have lost a pound. All those scenarios are considered perfectly normal and totally okay!

You've made it into month two, or weeks six through ten, of your pregnancy. By the end of this month, your baby will have outgrown her embryonic development and matured into a fetus. Your body is changing rapidly. You may start to feel pregnant now, if you didn't feel so before.

During the fifth month of pregnancy, your baby becomes more and more active, often in the evenings. You may be able to see your baby moving and then kicking at the beginning of this month. By the end of the month, your baby will settle into a regular pattern of activity and sleep.
