AnswerUntil you reach 20 weeks of pregnancy (5 months) you will not notice any change in your abdomen. Once you reach 20 weeks gestation, you will start "showing" and you will lose your waist. After 20 weeks, other people will notice that you are pregnant. You will feel the fundus of the uterus at the level of your belly button. AFter that, your belly button may start protruding. Don't worry. You will not feel any fetal movement ("quickening") until 22 weeks. After that, you should feel fetal movement every day.
