I don't know about you ladies, but I have been pretty irritable with DH lately. I think part of it is deserved (he gets caught up in work, but gets after me if I do the same!) but I know part of it is me. And then, to make things more confusing, I had a racy dream starring him last night. Oh, pregnancy!

This is me! I could have written it myself ... X
 
Campn, Xanz and Mari- you are all so sweet..thank you so very much for the well wishes for my mom and thank you Campn for the much needed prayers. Her surgery will be Tuesday. I am amazed by her strength and positivity and need to take some lessons!

Aid-- congrats on the baby boy!!! :)

Mari- that is great you found that out on scan so then no worry if not feeling baby as much as you'd think.
I still haven't felt movement. I guess I am showing a tiny bit now- tummy no longer flat when I lie down. I can easily not announce until after 20 wk anatomy scan! Mari and Campn- you guys probably know this -- it is normal not to feel movement until after 20 wks sometimes?

Xan- I hear you with feeling irritable. I feel I am best off alone most days...sad but true. I was hoping irritability got better in 2nd tri?! And the racy dreams..lol.. Last night it was with Steve Martin-- the older actor.. I told OH and he laughed so hard. These dreams are crazy!!
 
Campn - it is my favourite part of pregnancy too:) I have only felt flutters as well. The sonographer told me the baby will use my placenta as a cushion or like a pillow. Lol
 
Hopie - it is totally normal not to feel movement until after 20 weeks. Your could have an anterior placenta as well or the baby is still too tiny for you to feel. I will be thinking of your mom on Tues and hope all goes well:)
 
Hopie- Completely normal! Especially since this is your first right!? I felt those for sure moves after 20 weeks and at 24 weeks DH could feel some from the outside. When I was pregnant with my first most of the ladies on babyandbump said they started feeling the baby between 18-24 weeks!

Im very irritable with EVERYONE! I'm starting to get on my own nerves cause I say cold things like blurt them out no filter at all. DH was betting we're having a girl cause "all the estrogen you have is making you so mean!"

I prefer the word "annoying".
 
So now I have picked up whatever MrMoo and Sophie have had, but perhaps, and luckily, not so bad, but still bad enough to feel rough. Today a work colleague suggested this pregnancy will be easier than the first - I could have slapped her! This one is just plain bad for my health so far!

I don't get sexy dreams very often, but when I do, they NEVER feature MrMoo. The other morning it was a lanky business presenter on the Breakfast show - why him, gawd knows, but it involved a bubbly bath and (sadly) Sophie woke me up just as it was about to get "interesting".

We told Sophie yesterday after the scan that she was going to be a big sister, that there was a baby in mummy's tummy. She handled it pretty well, patting my belly and saying "it needs to come out!"
 
Usually my racy dreams are with anyone but DH, but the day he's infuriating it's with him! Hopie, that's hilarious that yours featured Steve Martin. He's handsome in that intelligent, timeless sort of way, I guess.
 
I'm also jealous of the ladies that have already felt movement! I know people talk about fluttering but I'm not realllly sure if that's what I'm feeling since this is my first. I'm not yet 16 weeks though so not expecting anything.

I already have a linea negra, it's currently just a thin line that starts at bottom of the rib cage, down to my belly button, and then continues down. Any other ladies have this yet? I've heard some tales about a long line meaning boy, and a short one starting at belly button means girl, not sure if that's true with you ladies.
 
Psy- I had to google how those flutters feel like with DS, some said as if it's a butterfly moving its wings in there, or champagne bubbles or pop corn popping. My sister says it feels like goldfish swimming lol.

I had that line with my son and it kinda faded a bit but now it's back again and will probably get darker. I'm not sure about the old wives tales related to it.

Oh also most of the old wives tales I did were correct!!!
 
I've only had one racey dream so far, and it wasn't anyone famous. It was just a really hot guy. And I told him "No thank you I'm married" And then I woke up thinking, it was just a dream why did I do that? :dohh: :haha:

I haven't felt any movement yet that I can say for sure is what I hope it was, and probably I've just had wishful thinking so far. But, last time, when I first noticed it for sure, it felt kind of like having a little muscle tic. The popcorn analogy makes sense to me too.

I have heard kicking several times on my doppler though :cloud9:
 
My first flutters with Sophie was like a gentle vibration, and yeah, a bit like a butterfly flapping it's wings.

This one is moving a lot now, it's a daily occurrence.

As for the line, I never had one. Don't know if that's anything to do with the fact that I'm on the larger side. Not heard the old wives tales about girl/boy either.
 
Uni - so glad you felt some movement:)

Aman - yay for all of us feeling baby move!
 
mari...definitely. I just have to research a bit how to do it :]
 
I'm not certain, but I think it's done here anyway, and it goes on a national database unless we request it not to be, but can then get it sent to a private place. *I think*
 
Mari- thanks so much..you are so kind! So awesome all of you who are feeling movement already!

Campn- thank you for making me feel better...Yes.this is my first (2 first tri losses) so maybe will take past 20 weeks. Interesting about the goldfish swimming-- I did sort of feel something like that last night!
I had to laugh when you said your husband said that! I was thinking maybe I'm having a boy and the testosterone is making me like this. I also am saying mean things -- that is not like me and I can't hold it back. So I know what you mean by it being annoying! I don't know how to stop it and feel I just want to be alone. Getting snappy with my mom who is ill makes me feel terrible. I guess I'm not one to feel happy chemicals during pregnancy!

I didn't know about that line. Wow- so many strange things in pregnancy. Campn- neat all the old wives tales came true for you with your baby girl. How about everyone else?

Xan, yea- coulda been worse than Steve Martin! How were your dreams last night? lol
 
Mari, I would like to donate to the public bank. The private banks make it sound like the cord blood would help your baby, but it can't - it can only help someone else. I'm hoping if anyone in my family ever needs cord blood, I'll have good karma from donating to public bank and we'll find the match we need. I think I have to send off for a kit though, or something? I'm not really sure how it works.

Moo, it's great they have an opt-out system on your side of the pond. I wish we had that here too! It would be so less complicated.
