Before I ask, a little information about myself.

I'm 19, pregnant at 21 weeks. When I conceived, I was 94 lbs. Right now, I am 96lbs at 21 weeks.
Should I be worrying?

I don't usually look big unless I've finished eaten, but once the food calms, I'm small again.
Is that normal? Or will I eventually have a bigger tummy?

And this next question, I seem to haven't really get the words out right. Try to understand >.<

Lately, when I'm laying down on my back, the lower part of my tummy hardens. Then it will soften again. This has happened a few times, but I thought it was just my abdomen flexing or something. I don't know if I should be worrying about this?

And lastly, I've been having slightly short nose bleeds the last couple of days. Is that normal also?

There are "weight goals" that women are urged to maintain during pregnancy. I think as long as you gain weight, and eat when you're hungry, you should be fine. I have also read that nosebleeds during pregnancy are common as well. Have you had any check ups yet? Feel free to add me or PM me.
