I'm sure I can compete with you on the fatty front. I'm 14st 5 pounds now. No idea how far along I am yet but a couple of people have suggested 5/6 weeks. So I've got ages yet. I've lost 9 pounds in the last month, is that a bit odd when you get pregnant?

Well I'm 13 Stone and have been for yonks... and was when they weighed me at 8 weeks and again at 16 weeks - not sure if I should have gained or not but I haven't because of being so violently ill all the time... well that's my theory and the MW seems to agree
Having seen pics of mum in her second pregnancy I'm actually glad I'm cuddlier than her... she looks very skinny (was as bad with MS as I am...) and then like someone has stuck a beach ball on her stomach! Very odd

My bump seems to be really high up, and I feel kicking just behind my belly button most of the time. Is yours that high? I've still got a wobbly belly at the bottom. According to pictures I've found in books, the top of the womb isn't very high yet.

The top of my bump is probably an inch or so above my belly button.
I feel him kicking all over, maybe it's coz it's my second, I duno.
Earlier i was lying down and felt it kick againts my hand quite high above my belly button.
Alot of the time I feel it pretty low down aswell.

I was 8 3/4 stone before and am now 9 stone at 8 weeks. At this rate I'll be the size of a house!!

I saw my belly wobbly after a particularly hard kick in the bath earlier! I'm amazed at how strong it is, real, proper kicks!

Do they measure legs at the anomoly scan? He had really long legs last time, I want to know if he still does.

Yes they measure the legs.
I've not really noticed my belly moving but cant really say that i've been looking out for it tbh.
Think it's a bit early to notice much.

Was only a tiny wobbly. My belly is kinda a bit like jelly. Only takes a little tiny poke and it wobbles all over the place! :rotfl: (I'll admit, I was sat in the bath watching my bump. I'm fascinated by it!)

BTW think I felt bean moving again last night... it's a very very odd feeling... Definitely wasn't wind or anything else... just a VERY odd movement inside my lower tummy
