Hi there Yogi Bear, don't worry! I felt lots of cramping and stuff generally "going on" in the uterine area from the TWW onward through, oh, I don't know, about week 8 or so. Then I felt nothing for a few weeks and, like you, was wondering why not. But we had our ultrasounds and everything was fine, and now, wouldn't you know, I'm getting lots of twinges and stabbing pains on the sides of my uterus which my OB says is just round ligament pain as the uterus expands and moves up into the abdomen. So don't worry, you'll likely be getting lots more feeling in a couple of weeks!

MaggiePie, sorry to hear about the loudmouth at your husband's party. I had a few similar situations at work functions where people were asking questions since I'm usually right in there having a couple of glasses of wine. Luckily, a few friends of mine (who are NOT pregnant) had just finished month-long alcohol free months, so I told people I was doing that. I got a few people asking why, but I just said a bunch of my friends had done it for health and weight-control reasons and I thought I'd give it a try. That worked until my DH and I went out to dinner with my boss a few weeks ago and I still wasn't drinking. I told him that I had decided to extend the alcohol free month for another month just to see if I could do it because I liked the idea of doing an extended detox. (I think it helps that my DH and I really do try to do alcohol free weeks from time to time, so it wasn't total bull***** when I was trying to explain it.) He didn't really understand but I think chalked it up as one of those weird girl things. I think it would be harder, though, if it was women who were paying attention to you at all these events. But I do think that the AFM story is good, b/c quite a lot of people do do that, apparently. (In fact, apparently a magazine wrote an article about "Dry February" or something, with regards to detoxing after the holidays. You can say you had just heard about it and wanted to try it.)

Also, glad to hear of those of you whose appointments and scans went well. I met my OB for the first time this past Monday and was so pleased, because I loved him! Now I can understand why he's so hard to get into!

Finally, LondonMiss, I hope that we're not hearing from you b/c you're off having that baby. GOOD LUCK!!!!!
