i used to get gas which used to feel like strong kicks,but i wasnt pregnant lol...dunno maybe its possible although dont think they would be ard ones at this stage coz they wouldnt be that strong yet but you will be feeling alot more in the next couple weeks anyways so i wouldnt worry too much
Amy, I first felt DD kick at around 22 weeks, and tbh I can't really remember how far along it was that I felt this one for the first time - probably a bit earlier as I knew what to look for, as you say, but I do know it was much longer before I had any visible tummy movements/DH could feel it because when I fell pg with DD, I was very taut and trim but hadn't lost all the baby weight and got rid of the pudge this time, so there was a bit more flesh for the kicks to filter through before they could be felt on the outside hahah
And, this will probably sound NUTS, but I quite often felt phantom kicks all over my abdomen (as though I were carrying a well-developed bub, not a half-cooked one) the entire time between DD's birth and falling pg again!! It didn't seem to be related to things like gas or illness or anything, I think it might just have been psychological. No idea why I would feel kicking (sometimes very strong, other times just little flutters) but there you have it... have any other girls had that?? I'm probably just odd lol.
I think all women and all pregnancies are different - for instance I started showing a bump with DD at about 8 weeks, other girls I know had smooth, flat bellies right up till about 7 months!! Just enjoy it hun, it's reassuring to feel bub kicking (or at least *think* it's bub kicking), just don't panic if you don't feel it regularly, at this stage it will be fairly sporadic so don't freak out if you don't feel it again for a week or two lol
In other news, nah, nothing much happening with me Finally got around to washing all the new baby clothes/blankies etc today so she can make her appearance now that I'm about 90% organised hahah (everything else just involves packing my hospital bags and making sure the fridge is stocked so DH doesn't starve or live on Hungry Jack's while I'm gone lol)... every night as I'm going to bed I start getting pains but they go within an hour so nothing terribly exciting to report. Had my 'last' ante appt yesterday and doctor said she's engaged, could be tonight, could be a week from now lol I hate that there's no definite deadline on them!! This is half the reason I demanded DD be induced lol, I wanted to just KNOW when she was coming rather than waiting around for her
So if anybody has any tips on how to get things moving along lol, I'd appreciate them
How's everyone else doing? Any exciting plans for the weekend I need to be jealous of?

I want to show!
ahahah its still all sureal to me....
I dont even have the slightest bump and its annoying. As for exciting plans we havent really got any... its our 2 years since we've been together tonight but we have little munchkin Layla-Jai so it will just be a quiet night. Oh and Beau isnt to happy about the fact its an aniversary and there won't be any love making ahahahaha my poor baby
Ah the joys of being pregnant as a younger couple.
Hows everyone doing?
Pregnancy's going well?
thanks girls, i have worked out that it is the baby i can feel, but very very light kicks and they suprise me lol. but yeah cant feel them from the outside yet. i also used to get the gas kicking lol but its feels abit different.
gothmum- exciting you have nearly everything ready, hopefully it will happen soon! i have heard eating hot curries, having sex, having a warm/hot bath, drinking rasberry leaf tea, going on a bumpy drive.... umm cant think of any more, can help getting labour started, someof them are old wives tales.but try it. oh and caster oil. but im not keen on that one.
Lauren- congrats on 2 years!
you will prob start showing in the next few weeks. i have just started showing. its feeling more real now coz i can feel it and see it.
its hard to beleive it all when you have no physical proof but dont worry it will happen soon enough. do you sleep on your tummy? when you sleep on your tummy it could hurt when you make up in the morning, coz the baby is getting too big, i got that from about 10 weeks. i try to sleep on my side but every morning i wake up on my tummy lol. so that could be an indication of when you might start to show.
im making tamarillo chutney today, they people behind us a have a tamarillo tree and it hangs over our fence (they dont get any and we get it all, lol) so asked my mum about htem and she said they make really yummy chutney so im going to try that today. its storming here and has been for the last couple of days so trying to stay inside and do homely things lol.
well have a good day every one!
take care x
mum2maddieand1 that sounds absolutley yummy!!!!!
ive started cooking already im going to make something nice for dinner make the best of a non-idealic situation i guess. I don't actually sleep on my tummy i sleep on my side with DF spooning me the same every night I love this especially coz he holds my belly cant wait till kater in the pregnancy when tiger kicks and wakes DF up ahahaahahahah!
oh thats soooooo sweet, i wish dp and i would sleep like that, we would if he got his wish but i hate people being close to me when im sleeping. oh im jealous lol. that will be really cool later on when tiger kicks!
whos layla-jai? and what are you cooking?
Layla-Jai is my goddaughter
her mother just died and her father is not coping at all
so me and DF have taken little LJ in. She 3 and certainly a handful.
Little munchkin. Yeah my sisters the same she doesnt like being touched where as me and DF still cant keep our hands of each other
