It was nice to talk to other mums about babies. I don't feel like a mum at all 99.9% of the time, even when I'm with Jasmine, i call myself 'mummy' when I'm talking to her, but it feels fake.
Its like when Jasmine was first born, I couldn't bring myself to say her name. It took me a long time to be able to get used to it. I manage it now, but I still struggle saying things like 'my daughter' or 'my baby'
I don't know why and its quite upsetting.
I'm fine! Totally fine. I don't know why it's coming out all loud and squeaky, 'cause really, I'm fine!
Beckie, Im so glad you went to parents and toddlers group and enjoyed it! I really hope they allow you to go every week, it's such a good idea.. I really believe we're not designed to stay inside with our babies, it drives us insane and makes life so much harder. x
I saw the midwife today she couldn't find a heartbeat because baby is right against my back but she did hear LOTS of movement, it wouldn't keep still for her at all.
You're entirely bonkers. But I'll tell you a secret. All the best people are.
she is just gorgeous, glad the group went well, and I hope they let you go every week! maybe you dont really feel like a mum cause you dont see alot of her, but hopefully they will see how good a mum you are and youll get her back and be able to be a full time mummy soon xxx#
I am 17 weeks tomorrow. Doesn't feel like it though! It has gone really fast because I have been mad busy with uni and my business. Not had quite so much time to obsess over every little thing! That is probably a good thing :)

I felt something a bit weird on the bus the other day that I think might have been baby flutters. Felt like a fish :P
I am settling into the idea of this actually happening a bit more, I think I will feel even better after the 20 week scan. I am staring to plan ahead more now though because of uni. My dissertation is due in on my due date and I have 2 assignments due in the first week of May! I also bought teeny tiny giraffe slipper boots :D I couldn't help myself..

I wouldn't worry about feeling weird saying mummy or find it weird or difficult saying daughter, I still don't feel like a mum at all and find it weird saying my son and I've been with Lucas all the time and he's 1!
Ended up in the hospital Wednesday night. Really hated it. I had intense stomach pain and very low blood pressure. They wouldn't let me go home until my pressure came up, and they kept pushing me full of fluids. They had to ultrasound my appendix to make sure it wasn't infected, and I saw Lacey.
She was trying to roll away from the wand like she always does...LOL it wasn't even about her this time!
I'm 22 weeks now. Closing in on trimester 3 fast...where did the time go?
I didn't get baby flutters but at 22w6d I got the hardest kick in the ribs ever, only way I can describe it was I immediately visualised a bass drum being hit by the pedal, like 'thump thump' against my stomach.

Lol i likend kicking when i first felt it at 22 weeks to having your hand in a cup full of tadpoles. My mother in law was mad i was comparing her grandson to baby frogs :P
Now at 26 weeks im feeling the 'popping' but still not anything regular or easy to feel, though hubby can feel and he regularly kicks my laptop off my lap. If i put my hand there he runs away to the other side! Lil bugger!
Matt only used to feel if he put his head on my bbump, talking of matt had a text to ssay hos new baby is on its way so he can't have the kids this weekend

It felt like a bit like a fish out of water really low in my belly. I have had the same feeling but much fainter a few more times at home when I have been lying around often when I have just gone to bed but both times on the bus it was much stronger.
