I'm 18+3 with my 4th and yesterday I felt a little kick but other than that it's little flutters there quiet faint too. I felt kicks with my last from 17 weeks so thought I'd be feeling more by now.

I've been feeling this baby since about 16 weeks, really subtle somedays to where if I hadn't been pregnant before I wouldn't realise it was the baby.
Feeling movement can also depend on your build & what way the baby is lying. They have so much room in there at the moment that you may not feel anything yet. I definately wouldn't worry before 20 weeks anyway or if you are worried just pop into your GP & they'll have a quick listen to the heartbeat for you & put your mind at ease.

Thanks Ms2011, I had a checkup yesterday and the heartbeat is thumping away so that's a big relief but I still can't wait to feel my baba, he / she must be lazy! Midwife says I prob had a few movements already and just put them down to gas or hunger etc. will be on the alert from now on.

That's good to hear. Yeah it can be really hard to distinguish those early movements if you're not paying attention. Trust me when those kicks are keeping you awake at night you'll be glad for some peace;)

Ms2011

That's all the scans I'll have now, won't see babs now until she's born!

Yeah we have a little boy.
'Gentleman's Family' is all I've been hearing all day:p

Bit nervous of the whole girl thing as I've only ever pictured myself with boys but I guess I'll learn:)

I'd give them until dinner time before they threw the towel in

Most of the symptoms I have (heartburn, bloating, indigestion, constipation and a blocked nose) my husband has most of the time, so he'd be fine!! I've gotten very little sympathy for the bloating and burpies that genuinely upset me, I've never had to deal with these things in my life, he has them 80% of the time, I never realised how awful it must be until now!

Ms2011

Aaaahhhhh stretch marks have started to appear :eek::eek::eek:

Painted the nursery over the weekend, if this baby ends up being a boy it's his own tough cos he's going in a pink & purple room:P

I've had heartburn for about 13 weeks now, 21 weeks in. Indegestion is so bad at the moment I feel horrible. Anyone have any tips that might have helped them? I've been on galviscon and rennie. Tried ginger ale and milk with ice. Would appreciate any help.

If it's really bad your doctor can prescribe something for you

Leinster1980

He said he wouldn't feel comfortable prescribing anything as prescription meds can pass through the placenta, which made me nervous. I'd have to ask the doctor in the hospital if I wanted a prescription. Next visit isn't until after Christmas.

So are our bumps all set to decorate Christmas trees?

Ms2011

Leinster my friend was prescribed something for heartburn (something begining with Z, can't remember the exact name) so I'd definately ask further about it.

I've held off putting the Christmas tree off but it's going up on Friday, can't wait to see the little fella's face, it's the first year he'll really know what's going on!

Hi Leinster, I suffered a fair bit with it last week and was told to try almond milk. I'm having a big glass of it everyday and no heart burn at all since. I can't say for defo that it's all down to the almond milk though but as it's apparently good for you anyway I would just give it a go. Avoid oranges/orange juice or anything really acidic as this will add to it- just think alkaline foods or drinks to neutralise that acid. Best of luck, I now know just how horrible heart burn can be.

Our decorations are up, no bump helping them out though really! I love Christmas decorations so they always go up the night of the Toy Show.

I found my first one a a lot easier but it will be worth it

Ms2011

Yeah I found no.1 easier too though I've hit a good patch of eating & sleeping well at the moment I so can't complain too much.

Ms2011

23+2 today, just back from the midwives & all is good. Baby is transverse now as opposed to breech so hopefully she's going in the right direction for a VBAC.

I've just exploded in the last week, there is no hiding my bump anymore & OMG my boobs are huge!!!:P

Hope everyone is feeling well x
