Hiya well I cant really tell the difference between the feeling inside but when I lay on my back I hold my hands over my tummy for a while sometimes I dont feel anything but its usually when Ive been laying on my side then quickly switch to my back, maybe it wakes baby up and makes him/her move rom the new position. My partner also felt it he said it felt like a kick. Its the weirdest thing ever! I went sunbating today and my belly looks so lop sided, Im constantly asking Matt if I look fat rather than pregnant!!
Were both 23, 24 in October, been together since the millenium and getting married 9th July, We planned this baby but only litrally started trying thinking that it would take a while. I even bought folic acid on the day I think I conceived, so strange!
I really want to try not to use any pain relief but Ive always suffered with a bad week pelvis and worried the pain might get too much! I find it uncomfortable lying on my pelvis when on a hard floor and sometimes its so painful, I might even buy one of those straps you wear for back support during pregnancy. Before I used to alwasy tuck my pelvis in when I walk and like you said its hard now with a bump up front! I used to go to the chiropractor when I was younger maybe a trip back could help! I wish there was a more humain form of pain relief, they all seem to knock you out, make you numb or completly high. I have suffered with anxiety before and hope I dont panik at the time, im sure I wont but im just going to go wwith the flow, some women ive read about completly kick themselves about having to have pian relief when they didnt wnat it etc, im not surprised some people suffer with post natel depression, they rally kick themselves about everything.
I also really dont mind about the sex, I want loads of children and like you I have no career prospects! I just want to be a stay at home mummy.
When is the age that the baby can be born and survive? I know its normally only ever problems with the lungs sometimes that the baby doesnt survive. Its worrying though, I havent had any problems so far, no bleeding or anything but I did have really bad bowl pains back about 7 weeks, we though it was all over, thank god it wanst and was just my bowel!!
If you have a bad back like me, maybe think about using the baths at the hospitals can really help with your pelvis, then get out in time for the birth. And also maybe buy one of those birthing balls seem so handy before they take all the pressure of your spine.
So 18th of july not long, its hard not to worry that somethings worng, I did too. Before I heard the heart beat I also though they wont find anything and I wansnt pregnant anymore, or even in the first place. Just try not to work yourslef up, pretty much every pregnant women does it.
I love talking to other pregnnat women like me, Originally in my first 3 months I stayed in bed a lot and stayed on the internet 27/7 and went on babyfit.com after a while I got a bit fed up with the November thread as there were women with problems etc and kinda got me down and worried after a while. Special in the first few weeks when women kept doming in saying they had lst their baby, I felt really bad for them but I just really wanted to get on with my pregnancy and not worry. I rarely go on there now apart from the uk thread in the cafe as some women are just having their babies and its really nice to see what they are going through, and informative!
I dont think ive ever heard anyone say, "i think im having a girl" maybe they just cant tell but so many saying "im sure im having a boy" I think surely uyou must be able to tell with the testosterone etc growing at the 10-12 weeks. After then it was the point where there were no stong feeling anymore but beofre when im sure all the part were growing I just knew. So many people dont believe me, like my mum, all we have is girl in our family, but Matt has nearly all boys. I really wnat atleast 1 boy and 1 girl, next time I might try all those theories of having a girl, like have sex the day before you ovulate as the female sperm is slower but stronger than the male etc! Im not sure how long we are going to wait until number 2, we will see how we cope when this ones here.
Hope your well! Take care!
