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
