Oh LM your beetroot story made me laugh, I do stuff like that all the time!!

Felt the Chicklet move at 17w exactly! Was lying very still at acupuncture and felt like my tummy was getting ready to rumble and felt a few twinges then realised it was the baby. Such a great feeling, I was so excited and that was the end of relaxation time!

And don't worry, I was the same as you at about the same time. I even went to my OB's clinic so the midwife could listen for the heart beat. Terribly reassuing, as you said, before the baby starts moving and if you're feeling well it's hard to know there is anything in there. If you have someone like that you could arrange a pop in visit to check up on your little one then I would definitely recommend it!!! I'm sure they thought I was an over anxious mother to be ( and let's face it, I am!) but they've seen it all before so they didn't mind at all and then I could relax.

Hope you all have a lovely day off. Think mine will be pretty quiet as DH is still not well, there goes our BBQ with friends plans...!
