Kash.....this ones for you :)

Have you felt your babies yet?? I keep thinking I've felt it but it's never like people describe so I'm not sure....

Also, is it uncomfortable for you to walk unless you walk really slow and are you finding it difficult to do housework before getting crampy and really tired?

I keep getting pains at the sides of my uterus, some are aches and some are little stabbing pains that don't double me over in pain but are just a little unpleasant.

I'm not sure whether I am being a wuss or not....

Kash I mentioned it to my Doc and she said it's unusual this early in pregnancy and every pregnancy is different. She offered me a physiotherapist whcih I turned down. Since I started the summer holidays I don't have to move much so it's not as painful to walk because I'm not working.

I don't have constipation anymore either and I've been eating tonnes of fiber but I still get wind and it causes cramps.

After never getting a spot in my life I have them all over my face and chest and sides of my neck, I look awful. No colostrum yet though.

I have been getting this feeling inside like a bowling ball rolling and I got it since 14 weeks. The OB said this was not my babies and was prolly my uterus. She said it is veyr unusual to feel the babies before 18-20 weeks even with twins especially if you are first time mother.
I only felt one flutter and that was last Tuesday, my form won sports day and i jumped up an cheered. Afterwards I feel this feeling in my stomach that made me feel a bit sickly and it was like a washing machine inside. I haven't felt anything like it since though.

The bowling ball feeling is a little bit like wind moving abut but heavier and definitely not that because it is a sensation I never felt before I was pregnant. It is more pronounced and occurs more often if I lay on my back because this makes my tummy all tight.

I have a midwife appointment on Thursday, I'll ask to hear the heart beats then. Then I don't have a scan until 20 weeks. The wait is driving me crazy!!!!!

I have been having quite a bit oflower back pain as well... but mine only comes towards the end of the day when im working.  Im on my feet non stop at work though so i think its just because im so tiny and im not used to carrying this lil belly around.

Hi Belly buddy.... u won't believe this..but just yesterday I felt something.. and I told myself to check with u if u were feeling it too. I am not sure what it was... but I think I felt a little something inside(like someone brushed or tickled) me from inside:) . I am waiting for it to happen again.. not sure if it was one of the babies. It surely wasn't like the fluttering ppl talk abt.. so that makes me think if I am being crazy :))))

I think the sudden stabbing pain ( got it a few times to) must be the round ligament pain... and i think it gets worse with the growing belly.

YEs yes.. tired and super moody.. thats meeee. Thankfully my mom and dad are here for another 2 weeks ..so its been so much of a help. Else I am more of a super tired lazy bones by the time I come back from work.
Good thing is that bowel movement is a lot better now... so less crampy cos of that. Are u taking enuf fiber?? Please make sure u do that... it really helps with cramping issue.
How have u been feeling otherwise?
