Hi all,
My name is Emma, i'm 25 and 21 weeks preganant with my first babs
I'm quite anxious about a few things (prob with being new to all this pregnancy lark!) and on a daily basis seem to have questions, but know that my midwife is not my PA!!! LOL - so thought i would join a forum, make new friends and vent my worries on here!
My first anxiety ended about 6 weeks back when my morning (or like I prefer to call it "all day") sickness, suddenly disappeared overnight. I expressed my concerns to my midwife "is everything ok with the baby? I'm not ill anymore" - to put my mind at rest she invited me in and let me hear the babies heart beat
Me and my Hubby were delighted on friday at our 20 week scan, to find out we are having a boy and to see how much our little man has grown (last time we saw him was at my dating scan and I was 10 weeks preggers, he was a little jelly bean back then!) I'd been having (and I still am occassionaly) period type pains, which I have been told is due to everything stretching. So seeing him made it all worth while. But I do have 1 concern: I'm not showing yet. I'm 21 weeks and don't have a bump to show off, every morning I put my hand on my tum, like i'm just expecting and waiting for him to pop through
!
My Mum bought me a very good pregnancy book that has been right with EVERYTHING i have experienced, it's like my little bible. But it say at 18 weeks "You should have a small bump now" yet here I am at 21 weeks with nothing. It's just another thing for me to worry about! I know that everyone is different, but surely I should begin having a bump soon?
Has anyone else been or is in my shoes? Would love to hear from you and meet some new friends
Hugs x x x
