14 Weeks Pregnant

My tummy continues to grow as the little person inside me does.  He or she is around 8cm long and the size of my clenched fist and may have already learnt to suck their thumb!  Here is my 14 week bump shot:

On the outside


My bump is definitely growing  and for the first time last week I got asked
how long I had left as opposed to how far gone I was. The answer 27 weeks was clearly not what they were expecting!  I have been sent some lovely maternity bits from Crave maternity which is good as I can safely wear maternity clothes without looking silly now.  I am still wearing a lot of normal clothes but I do have some lovely summer dresses from my last pregnancy that fit well and I can't resist wearing them.



On the inside


The most exciting development is that I have started to feel those little flutterings for the last few days.  About 4 times a day I can feel baby wriggling and kicking inside me and although they are only weak movements I definitely recognise them.  It is most noticeable if I eat something sweet and then sit down but I love the little tickles and the reassurance that little squish is wriggling away.

Tiredness is nearly gone although there is still the odd day I spend counting down until bed time from the moment I get up.  I still have no cravings as such although my fridge is scarily full of Dairylea dunkers jumbo tubes! Although being symptom free is a blessing I do worry and the movements are so reassuring and have put my mind at rest.  I am looking forward to seeing the midwife in a couple of weeks and hearing the heartbeat too.

  1. ha ha, I love that you were asked how long you have left! Last week I stood next to someone who was due the day before me (with her first baby). She had no belly at all and I was the same size as the 6 month pregnant lady standing on my other side. A little embarrassing to say the least. Love your bump. Super cute.

  8. Hey there bump buddy, yours is coming along nicely too!! I am in full blown maternity clothes now too but I have been rubbish at getting my pregnancy journal updated - must try harder!!

    I too felt the flutterings very early on, it's amazing I feel privileged to be experiencing it for my third (AND FINAL!) time ;)

  13. I am 14 weeks right now, and I am pleased to see someone else has a bump like mine! People always think I'm MUCH further along, and when I say 14 weeks, they are SHOCKED. I love my belly, in spite of all the fuss.

  14. Im shocked at that bump size for 14 weeks. Mine wasn't like that until 7 months- just proves how different we all are.

  15. Its like you read my mind! You appear to understand so
    much about this, such as you wrote the ebook in it or something.
    I feel that you can do with some % to drive the
    message home a bit, however other than that, this is magnificent blog.

    An excellent read. I'll certainly be back.
