16 weeks 2 days...worry much?

Ok, so i'm a little confused about how much weight I should have gained by now? I'm also still concerned about my belly size :( At my first doctors appointment at 6 weeks and 3 days i weighed 134 lbs. At my second appointment at 12 weeks and 3 days i lost 6 lbs and went down to 128 lbs. I then went down to 126 lbs and now at 16 weeks and 2 days i'm back to 128 lbs. I'm just worried if i'm suppossed to be gaining more weight by now. My belly also seems to not be getting any bigger since like 12 weeks. Here are some belly pics:



9 weeks (dont mind my pocket and underwear sticking out haha)


12 weeks


14 weeks


16 weeks

I dont see any difference from week 12, and actually it kind of looks smaller! I dont know if i'm obsessing too much over it or not. I also haven't felt the baby at all yet either :( My doctors appointment is tomorrow so I'm going to bring up my concerns about my lack of weight gain or belly growth. Alot of people I've seen pictures of at 16 weeks have alot bigger bellies than me! I'd love to hear some opinions on weight gain and belly growth from anyone. I'm just praying for a strong heartbeat and that everything goes well tomorrow.

    When I was early in my pregnancy my OB told me that she doesn't care about weight gain until I am 20 weeks. I lost weight in the beginning too cause I was always feeling sick :( but now at 29 weeks I am right on track!

    I didn't really feel the baby move until 22 weeks, it feels like a little fish at first. One thing I used to do when I was early was lie down and feel the hard spot at the bottom of my belly. That's the womb! you should be able to feel that by now and it is pretty neat.
