Or, post a comment below.YouYou are now at the halfway stage of your pregnancy. You may have an ultrasound scan lthis week, if you didn't have one last week. You are probably feeling well with more energy than you've had for a while. Your extra energy may produce a greater libido, though not all women experience this. You will steadily put on weight from now on. Most women gain between one to three stone. Your navel may flatten and pop inside out until after the birth. High levels of oestrogen and progesterone circulate in your body to soften and swell your cervix for childbirth, and can have the same effect on the mucus membranes of your nose causing stuffiness and nosebleeds. Your baby Your baby's muscular and nervous systems will have developed sufficiently to be stretching her limbs, though you will not be able to feel this yet. Your baby's growth rate begins to slow down. Lines on the end of her fingertips start to form so your baby now has unique fingertips. Your baby's growth rate slows to allow her lungs, digestive and immune systems to mature. Your baby is now a size that would fit comfortably in your cupped hand. |

This is my second baby but the midwife has only seen me twice, ive not been given any pregnancy information this time round and i still havent had my maternity notes. Is any one else in same situation with no notes at 20 weeks ? (well 20 weeks on saturday :0))
thanks for reading me moan, hope you are all well with healthy bumps x
Felt really different this time and the has been alt less enjoyable then the first pregnancy!
Ive had alot of really bad indigestion and the pain is dreadful, also this time round and getting very anxious about the labour!!! maybe because i know what to expect had a differcult and long labour last time so fingers crossed things run smoothly and not so long this time???
im 20 weeks and have my scan next week too. i get sharp pains too when i go to turn over or get up quick!! so lets hope as its 2 of us thats its all ok. x

Goodluck to you all with your pregnancy xxx
im on my third pregnancy and have had spd in all 3!!! i was a bit worried though when it started at around 10 weeks this time, but reading through this has put my mind at rest, im not the only one!! im due my second scan next thursday which im a bit apprehensive about as last time i was told it was going to be big, around about 10lbs!! Thats not as bad as it sounds though as my daughter was 9lb7 and easier than my son at 7lb4!!! Im just a bit concerned that i dont feel much movement, just a little bit throughout the day, i cant really remember when i felt it with the other two and was wondering if it sounds normal?!?! Thanks x x
looking forward to chat if got ant advice for SPd pain please let me know
xxxxx
I am 20 weeks this week, scan on Saturday - feeling the little one moving and kicking quite a lot but was worried as had to fly to New York for work and then didnt feel anything for about 3 days, was worried the flight and pressure change was bad. Feeling more movement again now though which is a relief. every single person keeps telling me I dont look pregnant as only have a small bump, but I am 5ft 9 and think maybe it just had more room to spread out! anyone else just got a small bump?
I am at the end of my 15th week and i am as well feeling very tired in the evening and if i don't get food when i am starting to feel hungry then i feel miserable: dizzy, have terrible headache and sick. ~I think i have felt something but not sure yet that it is my little one!

i m littil bit worried..i got littil bit leak.somtime i need to use pad.but its not blood.just white type water or something else.i m warried ab baby fluied for this reason.pls if anyone hv same prom tell me wht to do.
I also experience pain in the bottom of my tummy when I cough but mostly when am hungry.I've read that its the uterus stretching.We will be fine
I'm almost 20 weeks pregnant and had exactly the same experience as you- a few flutters and then nothing much else. If you're worried then maybe you should call your midwife. From what I've read though I think it all seems normal?
