    Yeah, when I went to see my family at xmas I wanted to wait to tell them till into the second tri for the usual reasons - but it was so blindingly obvious I didn't stand a chance of hiding it. I was almost at the second anyway so it wasnt so hard, but I had been "feeling" the bump when I lay on my stomach for a few weeks before that.

    I know! I think I might be getting somewhere with these daily contractions. Even the small ones are really hurting! Not waking up DH just yet though. Will time them for a while first I think.

    That's always good news! When your labour properly starts your cervix will be ready so there'll be less work to do! When I had DD she hadn't even decended properly and my cervix was rock solid shut lol. Do you think you may actually be in labour or are they BH?

    Sadly, I cant tell pre-labour from established labour anymore. I just hoping that if nothing else I can get this lot to bite. I thought I lost a bit of plug before but wasnt 100% sure on that either because I had a lot of CM all the way through... then prelabour started and it stopped.. My cervix has been soft and 50% effaced (doc wasnt sure on that and not so sure on dilation because she couldnt reach it properly... welcome to the club honey - I am making jackets) for a little while now, which is probably why the CM stopped. Not really sure again.

    Sheesh, you'd think I'd be an old hand at this by now!

    Showing ...not me !!

    Hi all,

    I am loving reading your stories, I cannot remember when i showed with my first child, as it was almost 10 years ago but I seem to recall around the 14 -16 weeks. I am a larger person so it sucks for me because I already have the extra padding and it is going to take me a long time to show, I wasn't so big 10 years ago with my first, heck I was 19 !!! But now i would give anything to be slim to watch my baby belly poke out!! It will come soon enough though and besides, I know that I am pregnant, bub reminds me every time I even contemplate eating !! Yay for ALL DAY SICKNES!!! Not!!

    Anyway
    Take Care
