In my first 2 months of pregnancy I seemed to have a nice little baby bump at the bottom of my tummy and peed A LOT. Now that I turned 13 weeks my baby bump isn't so.. idk how to describe it.. but not so "round" or noticeable. When I pee.. its hard to get it out & I have to sit a few minutes then "push" to get it to come out. Is this all normal for this stage in my pregnancy? Or do you think somethings wrong? This is my 1st baby and I'm very nervous about EVERYTHING.
It won't. Your "bump" wasn't baby. It was bloat. There isn't anything there to actually cause a belly until the uterus rises above the pelvis, and since this is your first it could take you awhile to properly show. I didn't until 7 months of pregnancy. Depending on your weight and build you could show sooner or late. You have nothing to be concerned about in terms of that right now. Far too soon to be concerned, and even if you look "small" or "big" isn't even concerning.
The feeling like you have to go could just be pressure from baby and your uterus. When you get the next feeling, push down on your lower belly where your bladder is. You'll know if you really have to go or not.

When this has happened.. the problem peeing.. my bladder felt like it was so full it might explode. Like when you do the little "I gotta pee really bad" dance.. lol. My baby bump isn't really there anymore.. I do "feel" preggers down there though. Like its something expanding and full and hard sort of.. but it just doesn't "look" like it. I know I'm probably being a lil paranoid but I'm genuinely concerned.
Constipation is common. Try taking a stool softener or eating foods that are natural laxitives.
It isn't a uti unless you experience pain or burning or a need to pee constantly. It also could be that when you go pee maybe your bladder isn't full enough. Best thing to do would be to contact your doctor and ask them. As far as your baby bump goes the first trimester you bloat and then the second trimester you slim down again. You don't start getting a real baby bump until after 13 weeks. Don't be worried if it takes a while to get one either since this is your first and your abdominals might be pretty tight. I'm pretty tiny and with my first I didn't start showing until I was 6 months along.
Thankyou for answering. I was just tested for all infection maybe 3 days ago at my ob/gyns office. They said I didn't have any infection including uti. So could something else be wrong? I've also been very constipated. I haven't gone number 2 in maybe 3-4 days.
