dont expect to really feel the baby until 25weeks also as for your weight gain your doing just fine!

You are still plenty early to not feel kicks or see a baby bump especially with being plus sized. Heck I am extremely slim and didn't have a baby bump at that time. Pretty soon you'll feel baby nonstop

I weighed 157 before pregnancy and now weigh 165 at 36 weeks. I wouldn't be concerned unless your doctor is. Most of the weight gain is in the last trimester.

I'm also plus size not gonna say how much I weigh but I'm 23 weeks now and I can feel her a little but not much. I've lost 11 pounds since I found out in August and they are ok with it. Gonna be a first time mom too so I know how you feel.

It's all normal for your weight. Like others said, kicks aren't regular until 25 weeks.
Being overweight, healthy weight gain is a lot less during pregnancy than slimmer women, so you have nothing to worry about having gained only 7 pounds.
Being plus-sized will also inhibit your ability to feel your uterus as easily because of the extra fat and muscle in the way. Same with the kicks.
It all sounds normal to me.

I am also plus size and about 30 weeks pregnant, I haven't gained anything   I lost 12 lbs in first 4 months then gained 9 lbs but lost 3 lbs again. My doctor isn't concern since my belly is measuring 2 weeks ahead and baby is healthy. Felt first kick at 21 weeks but not consistent till about 25 weeks. Just enjoy the pregnancy and things will progress and happen when its time.

Not unless it was a TON of blood, and you continue to bleed. Your cervix can be pretty friable during pregnancy, and you could have just scratched it a little.
If you are worried, I would go in to L&D.

You probably don't have anything to worry about, then. If you weren't using condoms, then it was probably a lot at first because it was mixed with semen.
The same thing happened to me when I was 25 weeks pregnant. Although L&D did recommend not having sex for a couple weeks just to let the small tear heal.

Perfectly understandable. I think most FTMs are like that.
Like I said, if you are ever really worried, just go in to L&D. They really don't mind checking you.

By the way, I was due April 12 last year- had my son on the 13th!
