U are all so good. I struggle with my 3 mile walk to Uni and back that I now drive half of it. I have just put on my first two pounds at 22 weeks. I lost half a stone with puking yuk. Feeling awful bumpy lol

Yeah but haven't you got a little one at home keeping you busy too? All I've got to worry about is a little dog and a big cat. DH is good and takes care of himself most of the time. Anyway it's all individual isn't it?

Lol yup. Even this pregnancy is totally different from the first.

I'm 14 and 5 and am definitely showing now, although how bumpy I look really depends on what I wear!

Quick question to those of you who already have babies are a bit further on - how far along were you when you felt your baby kick? Will I definitely know that's what I'm feeling?

im on my fourth pregnancy now and have been feeling this little one since quite early on - 12 weeks ? i cant remember now but i still have days now where i dont feel anything for an age and when i do im sometimes not 100% sure its not wind :o

everyone differs depending on size, its not much help to you but once you get to the kicking stage you then know what was/ wasnt baby in these early stages !

I felt first one at twenty weeks. Took a few to realise what I was feeling. Feels like a bubble rising to the surface and popping I think. With this one I guess I knew what to feel for so I felt it about 15 weeks. It is an awesome feeling

I'm pretty sure I first felt something at around 17 weeks. It felt like bubbles. A week later it became obvious that it was the baby because he/she kicked me very deliberately in the cervix three times in a row. After that I felt obvious movement every day - kicks, nudges, flutters, pops and bubbles.

At about 24 weeks you could start feeling it on the outside and from about 27 weeks you could see it too. Some kicks are so strong now (29 weeks) that my whole body wobbles from side to side and i nearly fell over the other day.

One of my friends in the US has just had her baby, and she said that she used to wear horizontal stripes in her late pregnancy as she said it was cool to watch how the stripes distorted when the baby kicked.
