Unlikely to be bubs, as it's near your belly button, that's more of a 20 week area isn't it? I'd be jealous if it was, I had to wait till 22 weeks to feel anything with ds. I'd go for random spasms, you get a lot of random sensations.

I miss flutterings, this bubs is making me wince, I mean, how do they know where your organs are at that age :eek::rotfl:.

Bottom left under navel.. not near belly button. before 12 weeks the uterus is lifted out of the pelvic cavity and flops over to a side normally to low in the abdomen is quite possibly baby.. unless these flutterings are followed by a fart.. in that case it is probably wind lol

My 22 weeks I was being woken up by kicking and squirming!! Did you have an anterior placenta? That is very late for first movements!

I need an idiot's guide to making up a moses basket! Took me long enough to figure out how to get the cover back on (think I've managed but doesn't look quite right!!) but how do I make it up properly/safely with sheet and blanket? I've put a fitted sheet on the mattress and have a flat sheet and cellular blanket....I've tucked the excess around the mattress but it's just made to bottom of the mattress really bulky and uneven. Is that the way to do it or should I be folding them in half? I feel like a right numpty lol

I lifted the mattress so the blankets were smooth and in one layer under the mattress.. if that helps?

Nope not followed by farting....I save that for when DH comes to bed:p:rotfl::rotfl:

Confuzzled, I felt movements at about 11 weeks with DD (first bubs) and about 9 weeks with this one and was confused at first as all the books and websites say this will not be baby moving you will not feel them until around 16 weeks blah blah...I quickly realised this is just the first in a long list of things that 'the books' know that is in fact a load of tosh!

Not movements, flutterings! The movements didn't happen till 24 weeks according to my diary. This pregnancy I got there slightly earlier at 19 weeks. My placenta's are at the top, protecting me from this rib kicking I hear about...

Gill, if you find that guide let me know. I've just washed all the bits and already have no clue what half the material is for.

I get my c-section date on Monday :T. Wonder if I get to choose... Can't believe it's nearly over.

Sorry, but after all those weeks without chocolate I deserve it :p. Besides, it might only be a few days early...
