Mel, it was probably around the 16-17wk mark that I noticed that my waist had a firm section (in between the flabby bits above and below). I mostly feel it now if I lay on my back. When I go to bed I just lay there with my hands on my belly trying to feel movement (I've got an anterior placenta, so not a lot to feel still). I'm going to miss that when I can't lie on my back any more. I'm getting a lot of shoulder and neck pain when I sleep on my side.

Danielle, I'm surprised you said your indent is getting larger. The first sign of growth I had was that my indent was getting a bit less deep and more wide. Or was that what you meant by "larger"? Lol, next time, instead of "tantrum", try calling it a pregnancy moment. Gotta blame the hormones!

Yarrawin, well done on the tax return!! If you don't mind me asking, are you starting to get uncomfortable yet? I just ask because you're about 2 weeks ahead of me, and I've noticed a bit of discomfort occasionally in the last week, but today I was just uncomfortable the whole time and didn't seem to be able to relieve it at all. Then I started feeling sick and I'm not sure if it was because I couldn't relieve the discomfort. It has just left me a little puzzled...
Yep, sure am... sucks big time.
