my family would notice lol they have kept going on about when hubby and i were going to have a baby. funny thing is we were not even trying, happy accident even if timing is wrong. I don't think i will risk the prawn cocktails as i had food their before and it wasn't great ... that could be my excuse come to think of it.
As for boobs i know it is early days but mine already feel heavier and last night they were so sensitive ... even the duvet hurt!

Bleurgh - agree with the prawn cocktail, in fact anything fish based. Gross

At 18 weeks anyone know where Bean would be in relation to my tummy?
I keep getting this rounded lumpy bit on my left hand side in line with my hip bone - I am sure this is Bean's head but OH said no way!

Just about to polish off a Giant Jam Doughnut with some fizzy Vimto - sugar rush!!

Thanks - OH was like No way but then moaning at me for touching it!

OMG - Just got asked to hold a baby for someone while mum held big sis who was having pre-school booster. Mum handed me the baby and then said 'Oh r u pregnant?! He's got a rash' :eek:
Panic stations but Nurse assures me it's not Chicken Pox and just like a heat rash.

Don't go too mad though, you don't know yet how much ur boobs will change some ladies go massive and others don't change at all
Mine just get a bit fuller and I only need to get a bigger band due to big bumpness

I really hope they don't grow much more - I have/had gigantic boobs pre-pregnancy (G cuP)!! :rotfl:Praying they only get slightly fuller/firmer and don't balloon to the size of beachballs!

Yum strawberries - nearly bought some on Sunday but figured I would have eaten them all in 1.
I've still not felt any proper movements, a few strong flutterings a few weeks ago but nothing really definite lately. Can't wait for scan though next weet so I will get them to point everything out for me - each week I go on different websites to see size and progress and thing but I find them all different!
I stick with the NHS desktop one now.

Aless - I was a 32H and after 2 reductions was a 34D - but now they are probably an E. Just think that when you breastfeed they should go back down

when you go in, tell them you work for the nhs, they may get more stills for you, i did and i got more stills(pics)

That would surely depend on what position your baby likes to lie in! At 18 weeks there is lots of space in there for them to turn any which way they like, so baby won't necessarily be head down.

I'm 16+5, and the top of my uterus is just below my belly button (though this is a bit further on that you might expect for my dates, according to doc). I can feel the baby moving at different points on my tummy according to where he or she is at the time. Sometimes I do feel it almost at the top of the uterus in the centre, but most often I feel it about an inch and a half lower than this on the right hand side.

... though last night OH and I felt it distinctly low down on the left hand side, and only a few seconds later top centre, which fuelled our maybe twin paranoia!!
