12 to 24 week pregnancy thread

sexymouse

I felf the first flutters at 15 weeks, but to be honest, that's quite early for a first pregnancy - my friend didn't feel her first kick until 22 weeks. It wasn't regular flutters every day though for quite some time after, but now at 24+4 it feels like he's kicking constantly! I think he must have really strong legs. I've even felt him hiccupping a couple of times now. I think I'm just lucky though to have felt so much so early.

moneypenny21 I was exactly 20 weeks to the day when I started to feel kicks. Now I'm 23 weeks (today) and I feel him daily, morning evening and night!

I felt the boys at 16 weeks however didn't feel mini_cub until around 22 weeks so it varies dramatically.

I felt what seemed like palpitations below my tummy button when I was about 18 weeks... wasn't sure at first! Think position of baby & placenta also has impact on what you can or can't feel. Now at just over 20wks it feels like definite kicking! Got scan today & keeping fingers crossed all will be well.

Good luck at the scan izzydogsam Are you finding out the gender or staying neutral?

Hiya! I bled lightly 3 times...

Once was around the time AF would be due so i thought I wasn't pg that month (so say at 4 weeks), once was about a fortnight later coupled with lots of pain on my left side and i went for an early scan a th the EPU and all was ok at 6.5 weeks and then i bled again at my booking appt (8ish weeks) around the time my second AF would have been due...

I haven't bled since (touch wood) and im now 17 weeks (tomorrow) and have had a healthy 12 weeks scan too.

How heavy is the bleeding? xxx

thanks for sharing your experiences girls:o

I had spotting for a few days and LOTS of pain at 8 weeks, had scan and all was fine.

Then sunday morning woke up by the feeling of blood and it was loads, got to the loo and had to stay on for a while, lost a clot and bleeding after was less but still went to A&E. I was seen, examined and scanned.

Bleeding had stopped by the end of that sunday even though the cramps have still been there along with back pain and also the left sided pain you have mentioned...but its been mild.

Yesterday i started bleeding again at 12 weeks exactly, its now stopped but they have said to still go in and be seen.

i only joined the group because i was so pleased to have got the 12weeks and had honestly thought it was the end of it.

Its good to know some pregnancies do have these problems.xxx

dont know if its also worth mentioning i came off the pill 'cerezette' after over 3 years use (no breaks with this pill, so no periods).
We were planning for the pregnancy not to be as quick as it was and i didnt have any period, i caught on the first menstrual cycle.
