I'm 14+4 today and it's a sunny day from what I can see. It's a shame I haven't got the motivation to rush out in it. I had a slightly eventful day yesterday. I was having my shower when I noticed a tiny bit of blood which obviously was abit alarming. I rang NHS direct who advised me to call my GP surgery. It was bang in the afternoon and my GP surgery closes for lunch. I couldn't wait so I rang my hospital and spoke to a midwife who advised me to go to A+E. I quickly got myself ready and went down there. I was a good girl I didn't cry or get myself over worked. I just kept as calm as poss with the OH on the phone constantly. I was lucky enough to get seen very quickly. I gave in a urine sample which detected I had a urine infection (UTI). I was prescribed antibiotics to take. The lady gave me a quick scan and I got to see my rather chilled out bubba on the screen heart beat flickering away. GREAT!!! So the panic calmed down and I went on my merry little way. I had a physio seminar to go to and had to go straight there from the hospital. I was happy to be sitting there with the other ladies knowing my bubba is growing inside me just fine. I will be drinking much more from now on and the UTI should be cleared up in a week.

SPECIALGIFT ... Just read your journal and it makes me feel more calmer. i had a missed mc, found out in jan. i am now over the moon that i am pregnant again ... and i really want to have that same feeling like you when you see the little heartbeat.

sounds like you had a shock yesterday but its great that you got to see little bubba again and everything is o.k

I'm 15+2 today and I'm a happy lady(except the severe backache I'm having). I am feeling my bubba move!!! I was right the other day when I thought it was movements. It started of feeling like a twitching nerve and that would happen 1-2 times a day. It kept on happening everyday so I told my mum who told me it probably is. Now I'm feeling it as least 3 times a day or more. I'm soooo happy. Being a worrier this is the best thing for me. I know they say first time mums may not feel movements until 18-20 weeks but for me it started at 14weeks. Evey time I feel the bubba move or new name 'twitch' it takes me by surprise. I'll be talking and it will happen and I just end up zoneing out of the conversation and concentrating on this beautiful feeling. I feel it if I'm standing up, laying down and sitting. It doesn't matter at all it happens when it happens.
Today I'm experiencing severe back pain and oh it was painful. As I'm not over obviously showing people don't give me a seat on the train so I have to stand alot and it's annoying. I am showing though in certain clothes and if you know me or you look closely you can tell. If I wanted to I could put it in peoples faces but because I need to be comfortable I'm in loose fitting clothing. All my family know now and majority of people said congrats, god bless or look after yourself. It's a life to be celebrated you know. I am young but I can handle myself and I wouldn't bring a baby into a complete disastrous situation. I had my last exam today at college and thats it for me. I can sit back and rest for abit. I am so fatigued all the time and I haven't experienced that burst of energy yet.
I am not ready yet to buy anything for twitch I am waiting for my 22 week scan so that I can see the sex if we decide to(still considering this) and I know that twitch is developing just fine. I got my down syndrome results back and I have been put at low risk which is a relief. For now I'm just resting and letting twitch grow as I know the big stuff will be coming soon.

Hey hun, just going through all the journals and getting to know the other girls in the 'pregnant' section! Sounds like you've had a busy time. Glad the exams are out of the way, you are in second tri and you can relax a bit now. Hope the backache eases off xxx

I'm 16 weeks/ 4 months preggo today. YAY! I'm one month closer to meeting my baby, 5 months to go now. This is really great and with twitch moving daily I have constant reminders that he/she is ok. I am feeling uncomfortable in my private area today I guess this is stretching pains. So far I haven't felt sore in my abdomen area just in my private area. I'm really looking forward to feeling some kicks now. I've started to run out of everyday clothes and soon will be needing to go and buy some new clothes. Right now I'm not ready just yet and will cope with a small selection for now. The past few days my bladder has become as flat as a piece of paper and I can't hold a few sips of water in without it coming out the other end! My appetite has grown slowly , I am not that aware of how much I eat but apparently I get through quite abit. My joints really hurt and walking up stairs is really annoying it makes me feel like an old woman. My three main things I do are go to the toilet, eat and rest.
Changes in my body: My bb's have increased in size again. This week I have noticed that when I wake up I feel an extra weight on my chest. My bra's getting abit tight and maybe I should get measured so I know what size I am meant to be in.
I really like this stage as everyday will be bringing some new symptoms and special little surprises. I have my midwife appointment on Tuesday so I am really looking forward to hearing twitches heartbeat especially for my OH as he missed it last time.
