I've been craving my lunch since I ate breakfast at 7:30am. It's a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, but instead of bread = waffles. Is it noon yet? All the snacks are not holding me over.

starbuck27 You're feeling squirmies?!?! I'm jealous!! All I feel is gas lol.

[ClassyMrsA]

I felt a real actual little pop last night twice. DH wasn't able to feel it, though. I was shocked because I didn't feel L kick until after 20 weeks. But I am a stm and had an anterior placenta with L, so maybe it's not so strange?

[sweetmelissa5]

With regard to movement, I didn't feel anything until about 20 weeks with my first three, then with the last one I felt movement around 17 weeks. Nothing yet this time, but we'll see what happens.

[jubilantsquirrel]

I believe I felt movement with DS at about 16 weeks. It kind of felt like an eye twitch, but in my stomach. I've felt something the last few days, but I've also had a little bit of gas, so I can't be sure.

This was my breakfast exactly.

[dashook]

Re: movement; with DS I felt it for the first time (meaning with certainty that it was him and not gas) at 16w4d.

This time, I have been wondering for a few days if I feel something but writing it off as gas (and usually finding out pretty quickly that I'm right lol). Today is the first day I officially think I can say I'm feeling baby!! 13w5d

ETA it feels early but then again, I know what to look for this time.

[ClassyMrsA]

dashook I felt some flutters at right about 13 weeks this time around. It does seem very early. My mom said she felt me (her 2nd) at 13 weeks, too.

Can someone tell this kid to take it easy on the carbs. Bagel sandwich (mayo,cheese, turkey bacon,and egg) for breakfast, corned beef hash (which is like 90% potato if you aren't familiar with it) for lunch, and now spaghetti with garlic bread for supper. I think the last 13 weeks of no weight gain is about to come to a drastic change :S

I think this all sounds delightful so I am going to tell baby danib not to change a thing.

[sophiegrace]

Re: movement I've been feeling something since around 13 weeks as well. First pregnancy I didn't know for sure until 17 weeks that that's for sure what it was.

[kleigh]

danib All of that sounds amazing, well maybe not the corn beef hash (never tried it but I always thought it was bacon lard when I was a kid so I can't look at it now). I might follow you on spaghetti and garlic bread for dinner. Tomato sauce = vegetables.

dashook I bet it was as delicious as mine. I am going to eat one of these per day now. And to think I was struggling with how to get enough calories in each day. Also delicious sounding is a Belgian waffle ice cream sandwich.

[sophiegrace]

PLEASE eat all the carbs for me danib!!! That is all sounding so delicious. I'm in the midst of trying to figure out if I should start an elimination diet of some kind. There is something that I eat that destroys my stomach and I can't say it's 100% pregnancy related. Plain chicken and veggies are fine, eggs go down just fine, and condiments haven't given me any issues. I miss food. Again.

I'm sorry sophiegrace that sucks. This appetite is 100% new for me, hopefully you start feeling better soon.

Absolutely no bacon lard used kleigh

I'm just so so annoyed. I finally want ALL the food and it's turning against me!

[dashook]

kleigh omg a Belgian waffle sundae sounds sooo amazing right now. The diner near where I grew up made incredible ones but sadly they are no longer in business. Now considering trying to recreate it at home.

How pregnant are we?

[sophiegrace]

I just want some sunshine. This weather is so darn depressing.

[LizInFL]

Hey everybody!

Hope you all had a good weekend, haven't caught up yet. Sorry I've been MIA for a few days, busy weekend and Monday. We were out at a golf tournament on Saturday, then went down to visit my grandmother Sunday/Monday and got back last night. It was sad but I'm glad we went. DH and my dad are both out of town this week so lots of girl time with my mom for the next few days:)

Re: movement, yes I have been feeling little flutters for a couple weeks now. Definitely earlier than I experienced it with DS, I think I just know more of what to expect now.

[tallblonde]

sophiegrace that sounds awful. Is it new or been going on for a while? I'd def try some common triggers (dairy, wheat). I basically had IBS and the trigger was gluten for me. Coconut milk also is awful for me. Worst case scenario, you find out what's bothering you.

Cake batter waffles. That's all I have to say.

I've never heard of these but they will be on my next grocery list.

[LizInFL]

Now I want waffles...

[LizInFL]

I'm currently rocking DS and he has the hiccups. He got them so often when I was pregnant with him and it was the cutest thing ever. Still cute at 2 1/2

My DS was a huge womb hiccuper too!! I still think about it any time he hiccups now

[shedreamsincolor]

Thanks, all. Now I want waffles right before bed! Regarding movement with my first I didn't feel anything until about 17-18 weeks. With my second I felt what I definitely knew was baby just after 15 weeks. It's pretty unmistakable once you get past flutters to actual "thumps" or "eye twitches" (someone said that earlier and that is totally what it feels like for me too!). Nothing with this one yet but not even 14 weeks so probably at least another few weeks.

[sophiegrace]

tallblonde, it's been off and on for years to varying severities. But, I would just pop some gas x, pepto, and alka seltzer and carry on my way. It seems worse when my seasonal allergies aren't well controlled which is definitely 100% the case right now. I'm going to have to start a food diary because I'm struggling to make a connection on my own. Coconut is a huge trigger for me too! I drink almond milk because I don't like regular dairy milk and accidentally got the almond coconut blend. So much pain.
