At 3 months you're only 12 weeks pregnant. It's VERY normal to not be showing yet. At that stage the uterus is only starting to pop out from behind the pelvis and cause any form of belly. It also depends on if this is your first pregnancy or not. A first time mother will generally not show till later on because the muscles are still tight due to not having been stretched previously. For example, I didn't show till 7 months with my daughter and even when I delivered at 39 weeks I could pass off not being pregnant.

You don't have to see a belly to know the baby is there, and even seeing a belly doesn't mean everything is alright. (Hard to think about, but true) If you're concerned, you could also look into getting a home doppler. This will let you hear the baby's heartbeat whenever you want and will give you more reassurance than signs and symptoms will. Different websites sell them, and you can also get them off of ebay for cheap as well.

Yess I agree with clysta :) i'm pregnant right now i'm 35 weeks and this is my first baby I honeatly didnt start showing until I was 6 months :) In the begininng I was like you I didn't feel pregnant it didn't seem lile I had a baby in there. But trust me your baby from one day to another will start to show :) meanwhile yeah buy a doppler to listen to the heart and that will remind you the baby is there.
