Thanks Sarah..
I had a feel of where my uterus is now and it's just level with belly button..
Just a tip i learnt from other pregnant ladies: walk two fingers down your belly starting at your under your boobs, when the texture changes your uterus begins..

Hoping you feel baby wriggle for you soon xx

That can't be right cos mine seems to change just under my ribs lol or at least a good few inches above my belly button! Gah! Why can't I be normal? Haha

Haha it's different for all women..& you are a bit further on than me so yours will likely be higher up by now..
I'm going to get midwife to have a check when I see her on 3rd feb because she knows what's def my uterus ha..xx

I think I've felt flutters today!! Husband woke me up in the night because he wasn't feeling well (love him dearly but not a lot I can do!) and I couldn't get back to sleep, thought I felt something then but might have just been in that semi conscientious dream state!! However twice today I have felt a flutter, really low down. Come on little one, keep it up!!

This is brill!! Pleased for you..
Freaky that we've both felt baby on the same day haha hope baby continues!! Xx

i found out at my scan the other day that my placenta is anterior, which would explain my complete lack of movement feelings. Had first flutter feeling on new years eve and had nothing since. awkward baby is awkward lol

Got my a midwife coming from the one to one midwifery service coming to my house in the morning. Not really sure what to expect. Want my scan on Thursday over and done with, getting myself all worked up over it.

 

[Capricorn]

Hope your appointment goes well!
Exciting that you've got a scan this week.. Xx

I think I felt something tonight! Well I felt something but I think it was baby. It felt like baby rolled in my lower belly. A bit stronger than a flutter. It actually made me jump! I have even getting a lot of stretching pains today. It's nice to feel something though x

Yes, I'm sure I did feel 2 and both happened when I had my mind on other stuff at work so don't think I'm imagining it. Haven't felt anything since though.

On a different subject have you decided when to go on maternity leave? xx

 

[sophied]

Ohh I wanna feel flutters! Were u lying on your back or sides when you felt it?
Xx

 

[Capricorn]

I was lying on my left side this morning.. & felt it sat on the settee too..
Yay Ljay!!

Mat leave doesn't apply to me as I'm a stay at home mum.. Have put my career on hold to have another baby & it's gonna be so hard to get back into it.. Shot myself in the foot career wise but if I died tomorrow I'd be happy with my choice
If I was working though I'd prob leave at about 37 weeks..
Xx

 

[Ljay]

I was sitting up on the couch X

 

[Xjodgex]

I get proper little kicks now, and baby spends a lot of time pushing against my belly, so usually know where it is. I have to decide when I want to go on mat leave soon but it's so hard as I won't know how I'll feel xx

 

[AnnaW]

Jealous of all your flutters, hopefully I will feel something soon.

Has anyone else ballooned overnight? I've put 4 pounds on probably due to the chips and bread I've been eating to stop feeling sick. My clothes all fitted fine however I've woke up today a size bigger - nothing fits! Even hubby looked at me this morning and said I was bigger. I need some new clothes!!!

 

[Nikkinoodles]

I had this feeling yesterday, so I've now got my work maternity trousers sorted! Over the bump ones and they fit already! They are ridiculously comfy though
I haven't really felt much since that day of definite kicks. Hoping for more soon but have listened in with my Doppler so I know all is ok in there xx

 

[Daley]

Sat here waiting for midwife. Really nervous for some reason.

Feel like I've ballooned the last few days. Luckily I've bought some black work maternity pants, think I'm going to have to start wearing them, can't see my others being comfy.

 

[Daley]

Had my appointment, midwife was really nice and put me at ease straight away. Offered to come to my consultant appointment, which I declined but was nice that she offered!

 

[coz78]

Just got home from my midwife appointment and so glad I got to hear baby's heartbeat. It was so amazing. Feel at ease now. Next stop 20 week scan x

 

[First Baby White]

Sorry I have been quiet ladies, going to try and catch up now.

Congratulations to everyone that has has their scans I dont have much going on apart from waiting for my next midwife appointment and counting down till V Day.

How are all you ladies? x

 

[Ljay]

Has anyone else got their 20 week scan date? We should start a post with teams on it, ie yellow, blue or pink. xx
