Good luck flutter! Has anyone queried if they feel movement as yet? On Saturday (16+3) I felt this sensation like a bug was walking up my stomach on my right hand side , wonder if it's the start of movement having never experienced it before?

Congrats blue eyes, shocker, diamonddust on finding out your teams!!

Good luck on your scan Flutter! Can’t wait to hear which team you are on!

NT how exciting! I hope it’s the start of movement. They say you can begin to feel movement after 16 weeks so probably is! I cannot wait to start feeling movement! I hope it is soon.

AFM We have our gender scan this Saturday and I can’t wait! Then we can officially start buying clothes and getting nursery ready!

Ladies keep us posted on your milestones. So exciting to hear everyone's news!

I have not been comfortable with my body lately so I was afraid to post bump pictures. But the ladies on my pregnancy journal convinced me to post some so I figured I would share one with you ladies. Here it goes me at 16 wks....

Looking good chick! I don't thing you have anything to worry about, you look fab lovely baby bump!

Afm I saw my midwife today and I don't like her at all, she was mean and rude and made me cry (after I left not in front of her)

I don't know how to multi quote from my phone!

I was told abruptly the flutters I have felt recently could be little one, but she said between 18-22 I should feel a lot more

[Jessica28]

I am back to being worried again. I don't need to see the Doc. for another 2 weeks but they just called and they need another urine sample from me... I just gave them one 2 weeks ago.... I wonder what that's all about.

I am sure its nothing to worry yourself over, probably just monitoring iron levels or something small like that

Good luck at your scan blue eyes and also your bump is gorgeous! embrace it you look fab

Is anyone else feeling a ridiculous amount of movement? All this week ive been getting winded and baby has actually been felt by numerous friends and family poking out and kicking, half the time this has been just under my right boob, really far in my ribs, i really didnt think they'd go up that far so early but its definatly him i can feel his little foot, but its got me worried that when he gets bigger its going to be really painful as its already quite uncomfortable at times and hes still only teeny!

 

[hope88]

Congratulations to all the ladies that have had ur gender scans its do exciting im 18 weeks tomorrow unfortunatley i havent felt any movement yet . But i have my scan in 2 weeks at 20 weeks feels so far away lol

Aiden is gorgeous diamond yayy for team blue

Nt yes I totally agree!! I was told it was mad to find out the gender, then if I did find out at least keep it to myself until he's born, I told everyone it was mine and OHs choice not anyone else's!! I have also been told by ohs brother that name choices so far are "pansy names" and will get him beaten up which is completely ridiculous! Not to mention all the people wading in with "I had mine with no pain relief you should to/get all the drugs you can/have him in hospital/have a homebirth" its all driving me completely bats already!! Not to mention the people at oh's birthday party a few days ago that I was meeting for the first time ever thrusting their hand onto my belly and rubbing it before even introducing themselves!!! definatly need to learn to block people out.

Yes! Getting sick of comments on our name choices, DH brother doesn't like either--like I care. I had a customer whose house I am painting find out this was child number six and said "you shoud earn to keep your legs closed" if I hadn't been so shocked I would have thought to say 'and you should learn to keep your mouth shut!" This is the same schmuck who lights up a cigarette while standing just feet from me despite my telling him I can't be around the smoke. Getting tired of ignorant people, an finding myself real b!tchy lately. DD (22) ran into my DH's brother the other night and was ranting about me being to f-ing old to be having another f-ing baby among other things. I had it out with her and told her to get the heck over it, and if being in my house was too much of a strain on her then she was more than welcome to move out! I told her I am happy about the LO, and that I made the choice to keep it because it is the only choice I could ever live with. I told her I am the one whose plans are all up in the air, who has worked for 4 years to get into my program and now may not be able to finish, but that I AM the one whose choice it was to continue the pregnancy and that I will be the one who needs to adjust and figre things out. I told her to back off and keep her nasty comments to herself. I need to get out of this foul mood

Congrats Diamonddust and shocker on team blue
2 weeks and 3 days away for me, hoping LO cooperates so I can know if I should expect Wyatt or Anneliese

Oh that's just £@@& the guy is an utter prick, personally I'd have done well to not say a hell of allot worse back! I'm quiet surprised by my actions recently, at work I had a customer threaten me and call me abusive names, I told them to f**k off, now I would have NEVER said that ad I was so upset I was shaking for saying it! As for your daughter, as the saying goes you can pick your friends but not your family! I'm sure it all boils downto jelousy and quite rightly she should shut up or move out, it's not like she is a child she knows what she said is hurtful! Im so sorry your having all this to deal with! Your happiness is all that counts! Big hugs xxx

 

[shocker]

Perpetual that is total madness!! that guy is a total dick and your daughter is old enough now to be a little more mature about this whole thing, im sorry your having to deal with this I completely agree, she should be proud of you for continuing as it sounds to me like all you have ever done is put your kids first and now just when you were doing your program you are making more sacrifices for her brother or sister! Ignore that sort of unsupportive nonsense!

Diamond I am totally the same, finding myself with very little tolerance for the rudeness of others! its not a bad thing!

Hope Im sure you will feel it soon! every baby is different and they all lie in different positions, mines just sprawled across instead of up or down thats why ive felt so much, it depends on the position of the placenta and how much fluid there is aswell, try a little orange juice and then lying on your left side while really relaxed for a half hour a few evenings in a row and im sure you'll feel a little goldfish swim!!

 

[Diamonddust]

OK taking a leaf out of you other lovely ladies books, I'm posting my very first bump picture, taken at 16+6.
