All of the baby books, my Mommy friends, and the girls online all say that around 16-17 weeks early movement can possibly be felt. So for the last 2 weeks I have been waiting for that first movement. Well, it might have been last Monday night! Or it might not have been, I have no idea! I woke up twice last Monday night by a sharp stinging feel on my lower left abdomen. It was strong enough to wake me up, and it was succession of 3 "stings". Then it happened again Tuesday evening, but nothing since then. I don't know if it was the baby or not, I have certainly never heard of a stinging sensation in anyone's descriptions of the first baby movements. I hear that it feels like gas, or butterflies, or little air bubbles...defiantly not stings! It didn't hurt, it was just odd. But as I am learning EVERYTHING is normal in pregnancy.
Test results came in yesterday from having my blood drawn. I am at a "normal risk" for downs syndrome and spinal bifida, which is good. They will check the baby for signs during the big ultrasound.
As of today I am 18 weeks and 0 days pregnant. The baby is the size of a sweet potato, and I should be feeling the baby's first movements around now. The baby is also able to hiccup and yawn now and is growing hair. Next Thursday is my next doctor's appointment and we will schedule the big ultrasound.
