Good morning everyone. hope you all had a great WE.
I was wondering when did u guys start feeling your little ones moving? I'm 16 W and haven't felt anything yet. do boys move earlier than girls?
----KittyMommy, how are doing and how is your pregnancy going so far. Have u had an U/S yet?

I felt movement at about 22 weeks.  It started out really slowly, maybe once a day.

Is it me or have we had an AWFUL LOT of pregnant posts again???  I am totally with Stacie30 on this.  I truly believe with my whole heart this is the same person changing their names just to get a rise out of us again.  I mean they stopped a little bit but now there is like 4 or 5 right in a row on here.  I personally am sick of seeing them and I will NOT be giving advice to any of those people anymore.  Sorry to sound rude but that is how I feel.  Hope everyone is having a good day.

I go on Thursday to get my progesterone level checked, CD 21.  I hope I have ovulated and am on my way to pregnancy.  If not, at least my doctor can bump me up to 100 mg of clomid.

[blondie72]

Good luck.  Sending LOTS & LOTS of baby dust your way.   I hope this will be your month.  I'll say a prayer for you.

you are with twins right?
First babies move later than second babies they say.
I am 21 weeks.  The doc asked me at 16 if I felt movement  (and at 13 14 and 15)  I was worried everytime I said no that something was wrong.  By 17 weeks I thought for sure it was by 18 weeks I was relieved to feel it.  For the last three weeks  I am worried if I don;t feel her in the AMs and evenings.  
YOur size definitely matters - the smaller you are teh easier to feel it!
best of luck

I felt movement at about 19-20 weeks and it felt like a little bubble popped in my stomach.  I would feel it maybe once a day after that.  I usually felt it in the morning when I was taking a shower.  I have a little boy so I cant say if boys are felt before girls because I dont have a girl.

I had a boy, and I did not feel movement until 21 weeks.  I probably was able to feel movement a little earlier but did not recognize it.  

I don't think gender has anything to do with how early you can feel movement.

Thanks!!

Hi everyone I was wondering if morning sickess was necessarily vomiting? I feel sick sometimes and i'm tired all the time at 9 weeks. I know that no symptoms is a bad sign so I was wondering if the nausea and tiredness are enough to consider my pregnancy healthy so far? Waiting for your comments. Thanks

Yes, i would say so.  I have a healthy 4 month old little boy, and I was not sick at all.  I was a little naseaus for about a week until I changed the time of day I took my prenatal vitamin.  I was never sick.  Just because you are not sick doesnt mean it is bad.  You are just lucky.  However, pregnancy is a very emotional and confusing time for most, so if you have any questions, ask your doctor.  The only stupid questions are the ones you dont ask.  Good luck!

I felt this baby move at 14 weeks. I didn't feel him every day until about 17 weeks though. Keep in mind- he is my 4th pregnancy and 3rd child so things were already a bit stretched out in there. Because of this, you are supposed to feel a 2nd or 3rd earlier than the first.  

You seem kinda worried though (this and your previous post). I'm sure your doctor wouldn't mind taking a "peek" to ease your mind if you tell him/her what you've told us. Don't feel silly asking. It's a lot better for your pregnancy to ease your mind rather than stress out.

[IWantToBeAMom]

Either I'm going cross-eyed or you posted your question twice....

No, morning sickness does not always means vomitting. I just had a general yucky feeling, like the run-down yucky feeling you have right before you get the flu. I did vomit, but only about 4 times total, and this was because I would gag from the toothpaste foam getting too far back on my tongue. I had to be very careful when I brushed my teeth from about week 8 until about week 18, and then it went away. Weird, huh!?!? Everyone is different.

Dont worry !! some use to say if you felt really sick it was a good sign..I think its an ole wives tale..I was only sick once with my first pregnancy none with the other two and the kids were perfectly fine

[shubunkin]

i was not sick with my first 2 and they were fine! I got sick with my last one and the symptoms did suddenly dissappear and he is fine also! try not to worry.

Hello,
My name is Holly. I am 20 years old. I am planning on going off the pill (i have been on it for 3 years now) in November. I hope to get pregnant right away so I can give the news to my in-laws and my parents as an xmas gift. Do people usually have problems conceiving the first few months they go off the pill? How does it work? I also want to lose weight before I have a baby. As it is I am not comfortable in my skin. If anyone has suggestions or would like to chat, please email me at butterfly_baybee2005***@**** I will respond to everyone!
Also, will you only conceive on certain days of the month? I can use as much information as I can
