I'm happy you did, it's nice to know.
2nd June is my husbands birthday. He was relieved that the due date changed it means he doesn't have to share his special day with someone else not that he would have minded all that much if he did!!

Right you have to remember that no matter what the books and the internet says, we are all different and so is every pregnancy!

You are still possibly upto 4 weeks away from being able to feel obvious baby movements. As for the energy, being pregnant and having a baby develop inside you is very hard work, then put life on top of that too.......it is not suprising that not all women get their energy back or at least not like before they were pregnant!

Some women do not show obviously with a pregnancy until up to 7 months....then again some women start to show earlier....

Weight gain, some lucky people gain very little, others pile it on (like me)

Everyone is different......the main thing is that you feel well in yourself and your appointments are going well, the scans have been/are OK and the heartbeat is heard and urine tests are OK etc.....as long as all this is OK, then so are you & baby!

Maybe it would be a good idea just to read about the develpment of your baby rather than what YOU should be experiencing too, as it may not be the case at all! x

Thank you everyone. You have all made me feel much better

Don't worry... I never got my energy back like they say you do. Probably because I'm sleeping less from aches and pains. I remember one of the first things I learned in one of my education classes is that every pregnancy is different. You can have a horrible first pregnancy and go on to have a wonderful next one. This is what I try to keep in mind because some days I don't think I could ever go through this again! LOL!

Everything you are describing sounds normal, as all of the girls have said... All pregnancies vary. I'm almost 24 weeks, I STILL get morning/all day sickness, I still am exhausted daily, and thats from doing very little. And I also went thru a time, right around 18-19 weeks, where I stopped feeling her at all. (even tho before were mostly just little flutters and a few little kicks) I got so nervous. For days until I had a doctors appt, I was so worried that something happened to her, that as soon as we saw our nurse and heard the heartbeat I just started crying out of relief. Try and relax, and enjoy your pregnancy. If you can, rent a doppler online, so you can hear your little ones heartbeat anytime you need reassurance. Hope it gets better!

Hey everyone, guess what felt a flutter for the first time this weekend. I'm soooo happy and even more excited. I'm 19 weeks today and have my next scan on the 28th December. Can't wait to see my little babe again.

I'ts so good sat at my desk doing normal boring stuff then all of a sudden I feel a little nudge. Makes me smile and feel like I've got a secret no one else knows. (even tho i've bored everyone to death about it all

It's made my depression lift a little.
