So, I felt a little bit of a twinge yesterday evening, and put it down to indigestion.
Today, I felt the same thing (four times in total), and was less certain about it being indigestion. One of my colleagues, who is almost due to start her maternity leave, told me that she felt her first baby movements from four months on, so now I'm statrting to think that might be what the feeling is.
But.
Each time I felt it today, I felt sick. As in, convinced that I was about to be violently sick, and went rushing for the nearest toilet, where I stayed until the sickness went away again.
I never suffered morning sickness at all, not even slightly. I'm starting to think this is karma for being so smug about not having it
Has anyone else felt like this? I know many women look towards feeling the movement as reassuring, but I'm sitting here now praying that it won't happen again before I go to bed. And tomorrow, I have to go to a wedding reception (that I don't want to attend, but that's another story) where I don't need to be drawing any attention to myself in that way, as there is an apparently vicious (if true!) rumour going round amongst some of the other guests that I am pregnant. It's none of their business, and so I don't want to give them any more excuse to gossip about it
