im not feeling pregnant AT ALL. ive been feeling like i shouldnt believe that i am pregnant. when i stand up i can feel my stomach pulling outward and its really hard and firm, and when i sit down its not as hard. is that normal? or is there something to worry about? heres a picture of my stomach : [a href="http://i62.photobucket.com/al

do i even look pregnant? i feel like its all in my head. i have BeBe sounds back at my moms house, should i probably get it to assure myself that there IS my little one in there?

also, im having this gross bleeding on and off throughout the day. i havent experienced any cramping or anything like that. it mainly does it when i go to the bathroom and when i have sex. its like a reddish orange sometimes and sometimes a really dark brown. ive asked the doctor and they said its fine because some women experience bleeding throughout their whole pregnancy. it just freaks me out. anyone else have this? ↓

The only thing I know is normal is that your tummy is tight when your standing and not so much when lying down. I have had that with both my pregnancys. The BeBe sound monitor hasnt worked well for my or a few people i know so I dont know how much it will reassure you but you can rent one like the doc uses. ↑

I had a BeBe sound with my first and I threw it in the garbage. Didn't work at all for me.

As for you stomach, yes it is perfectly normal for your stomach to be tight and hard while you are standing up and soft when sitting down. It won't actually continue to stay somewhat hard to the touch until your alot bigger. I wasn't able to pull up your picture so I am not sure how big you are right now.

As for the bleeding. Yes some women actually do experience bleeding though out their pregnancy, some expierence it in the beginning and some never experience it at all. Doctors are usually looking for blood that is deep red or bright red because this is a sign of fresh blood. They are also looking for cramping, since cramping with bleeding could be a sign of something bein wrong. Brown blood is almost always just old blood that your body is trying to get rid of and is nothing to worry about. ↑

How far along are you? I think that you look quite pregnant. I was worried about not showing as well, but some people never get a very big bump. Have you spoken w/ your dr. about the bleeding? I know it's really hard not to worry, but that is the best thing right now. If you start to have severe cramping or other symptoms that you haven't noticed before, then you NEED to call you dr. Otherwise, take a deep breath:) ↑

i am supposed to be 4 months on the 15th of august. i havent gotten any cramping or anything like that. its usually a dark brown or a weird red color. idk how to describe it but its not usually what im used to seeing. ive talked to a dr about the bleeding and they've told me not to worry about it unless i have a cramping or any type of lowerback pain, which i havent had any of .
the main thing that creeps me out is the fact that when the blood comes out, it smells quite rancid. it makes me feel really disgusting and i know not to douche during pregnancy so im at a loss for words on this one, ladies. ↑
