When did you all feel movement with your first? I know there's various things that can effect when you feel movement but I just need some reassurance about it now.

I first felt a funny kind of "pop" in my stomach at about 17 weeks, the MW didn't record it as movement though and I didn't feel it again for a couple of weeks. I was 19+2 when I first noticed something that could have been movement but it was only a few days later though once I'd felt it a few times that I was fairly sure that was what it was.

Now (21+5) I have the same feeling every day I'm sat down quietly, though I don't notice it if I'm busy (plus, apparently, your movement can rock the baby to sleep so you may not feel anything if you're particularly active). I'm not sure I can feel him from the outside yet, while I thought I did yesterday, it may just have been because I felt it on the inside and was expecting to feel him if you know what I mean.

Hope that helps some - I thought it'd be reassuring once I felt him moving too - though now it just gives me something else to panic about if I don't feel anything! Typical...:p

kindof - pleased to know am not the only one waking up with a split lip in the morning, its happened loads now, just this morning was really bad, and I thought it was just me!Eeek for such early lunch!

ymake - I wasnt sure about when I first felt movements because they were such light flutters. like butterflies or wind lol, the first deffinate movement I felt was 19+6 I was lying in bed reading

skint - thats really funny about your 4 y/o its funny what kids pick up on.

rach - I couldnt afford bravisimo even if we had one near, which we dont Will stick to mothercare sale or matalan/tesco.

nikkit - sorry lil man didnt want to put in an appearance yesterday but at least you had a good time.

Had an email from a friend whi is a midwife, asked her for some advice ref calcium and EPO. She's never heard of either being used but did recommend Almond oil for perineal massage and the nct homeopathy kit as well as recue remedy for both me and OH to keep us calm in labour. Aleady have RR and its packed, will look in H&B tomorrow if almond oil isnt too expensive will get some, she said you can pop some in a hanky and wear in your knickers thru the night too. The Homeopathy kit is £30 tho and would worry it wont show up in time to get use out of so will give that a miss this time.

I know what you mean. Once I do feel movements I will be exactly the same and panicking when I don't feel anything too :rotfl: Think I'm just getting impatient now but I've realised everything to do with pregnancy is all about waiting....and I hate waiting lol.

Think babies in football strips are so cute, however me and OH not much into football, so might get a roandom teams strtp for baby to wear.

does anyone else suffer from bad circulation, since being pregnant i keep waking up with pins and needles in my fingers? just wondering if its related cant find much in the book i got from midwife.

I keep on getting pins and needles when I wake up! I thought it was because I'd slept on my hand funny or something! Do you know why it is? If not I'll ask the midwife on Tuesday as I'm seeing her then.

Afternoon and happy valentines day

Im 37 weeks today! Officially full term! :j:j

Baby has 7 and a half hours to make her way into the world if she wants to be born on the day of her surname!

Nikkit - Thanks for that, i was wondering about the 5-10drops as i saw others saying mixed things to. I'll research it more anyway, but i havebeen reading up on it for a few days

Had a harvester today, they dont sell roast dinners
So i had a BBQ Burger with onion rings and chips, and then a massive chocolate fudge brownie sunday thing for dessert!

Couldn't eat all of it though so OH finsihed it for me :rotfl:

Made OH feel guilty today, we're not doing Vday this year, but i made him a card anyway and he felt guilty lol. But has promised to take me away next year for a holiday

Som - The inside of my top lip splits all the time cause my mouth gets dry over night. Its blimmin annoying!

Getting a gym ball on wednesday, found this one in Argos £6.99 link

MMM Nikkit I am jealous of your trifle!!! lol at not seeing OH for a week, my OH plays LOTR online and he has just got two of his friends into it, so they can all play it from their own houses but play it together, so I can hear him on his headset talking to them while playing with it, men lol

He said he wants bioshock 2 as well, I saw the advert the little girl kinda freaked me out lol

LOL no its not evil, you deserve your little man here NOW lol

This thread is sooooooooooooo quiet lol where is everyone lol
