AFM - i dont know its m/s or what - whatever i am eating these days - i am throwing everything and feel gassy and bloated all the time..yesterday i cooked some potatao and beans and everything came out in shape..yakkkk... i am feeling very week. rest is all good. My 20 week u/s is booked on 27th aug..eagerly waiting to see bub and to know the gender as well ( thinking whether to find-out or not?). we still havent disclosed the world about the news (except family), so thats going to be hard as we are thinking to tell everyone after 20 weeks and my Dh is thinking of inviting everyone for drinks in mid sept and i will be 23 weeks by then...thats a long time...heheeeeeeeeeeeeee.
Hey all the experienced ladies - when do we feel movements of the bub??? i read in some forum - gals are saying 15 weeks, 17 weeks, 20 weeks...even the first timers said that they feel LO kicks in 16- 17 weeks??? when when when...


Take care all.
Will post more from now on...

Love and wishes,
Ric xx
Hi Ric,
Are you in a bellybuddies group? Im sure you should be with KitFaerie and I??

We havent told anyone yet. we are waiting until after the 20week scan next week. I think it makes it go nice and quick for everyone. 23weeks is getting a little hard to hide the bump id guess. But do what ever you want!!!
I felt my bubs around 16-18weeks, its hard to know what you are feeling when its the first and then hard to be confident thats what it was!




Oh! Mini vent! At the 5 weekish scan, the tech was all like ''we may not see much cos the baby's very small'', at the 7 week scan the teach was all like ''the baby is still very small'', at the 11 week scan the tech said ''remember the baby is still very small'' AND yesterday when searching for Tiger's heartbeat the midwife said ''The baby is still very small at this stage''! Compared the to 2mm Tiger was when we first saw him, 17 weeks is frikkin huge! And babies are meant to be small, if they were the size of cars then I doubt very much that I'd put my hand up for carrying one around for 9 months!

Mini vent done.

Belly rubs for all! xoxo
Totally agree with mini vent!!

Hi ladies,

sorry to have been MIA, I have been lurking but not posting, just feeling a bit down at the moment, and well, needed to be a bit reclusive.

I'm feeling really tired and teary, and have a horrible cold - I feel so "overwhelmed" really.....

Our scan - well, Spud is measuring quite small for dates, so I have to have another scan next week to ensure Spud/ placenta are OK. I so hope so, I don't want to have to have induction or C/s early and the whole NCIU etc - apart from the obvious, it means the bigger hospital, several hours from home.

I am feeling really disorganised, and so not ready for Spud to arrive yet, and feeling to tired to do anything about it ... sorry for the moan.

Oh and just to let you all know, on Ferrals earlier post - I too read "blow job" LOL. You girls do make me smile, sorry for bringing the board down.
I know everyone else has said it but mine have always not been the same weight as the scan... Either bigger or smaller. My DD2 lost 2kgs in 2weeks if you believe the scan people! Good luck hun!

you may awell give up now because there is nothing anyone can say or do to really put your mind at rest WELCOME TO PARENTHOOD.


AFM: Been working heaps and tuckshop = standing for 16hrs straight! Im completely rooted! Hard shifts too (im a nurse) Very emotional, which sort of works well as i clean when upset. So the house is spotless . Sorry no more time for personals. Know im lurking and thinking of you all!
