Is it just me?

Well it seems like the jump from 16 weeks to 17 weeks has really made a huge differance! I feel huge. At first I thought ok it was Thanksgiving, but no the scales don't reflect weight gain! I feel like she is HUGE! :) not that I'm complaining but I went from barely feeling her to she is squirming and kicking all the time! She must have been really going last night when I was asleep cause I had a dream I could feel her whole body it was weird, I could make out every part, LOL  I just wondered if anyone else has felt a huge differance in the last week or two?

With this being your first you won't probly feel anything till 18 - 20 weeks, it's ok though you'll know when you feel it! As cool and exciting as it is at first.... When it's waking you at night, it's a whole differant story! LOL

I am feeling my little girl a little bit, but only when I think about it, but I agree about 17 weeks making a big difference.  At 16 weeks I wasn't really even showing -- at 17 weeks and 1 day I was suddenly obviously pregnant!

it's called an anterior placenta, but it's no major problem just can't feel baby as much or until much further along. i have another scan on dec 16th maybe we'll be able to see this time lol

I'm not sure what that is called either cause previa is when it's on the bottem of the uterus. I'm sure all is fine. Did you ask your OB about it, they should have been able to tell with your last scan. You have anothe coming up soon don't you? or was yours Jan.?

not for me but have never really been able to feel baby every now and then a small kick but the same with my last pregnancy my last pregnancy my placenta was on the front of my uterus acting as a cushion between the two forgot what it was called, i'm hoping it's not the same this time around.
