re: **June Mommies**

Hey June mommies! This is my first time posting on this website, but I'm proud of my belly, so I thought I'd share...Sorry if the pic is huge!
This is me at 15 weeks 6 days - I'm now 16 weeks 2 days!

I dont have much of a belly at all.. coming from the baby that is. lol The belly I have is my natural one. ='[ I have started to gain my first little bit of weight though which is exciting. 5 lbs and I'll be going on 5 months. haha go me.

aww, your belly is so cute!!!

My bump just came up over the last two weeks. But I can definitely notice it now. I am 16 weeks and 3 days! Can anybody explain what it feels like when the baby kicks? Everyone says it feels like gas, but I was hoping someone who is just as far along as me could give me a more detailed description so I know what I'm looking for!  )

Here is my baby bump at 4 months

I'm currently in my 19th week

How and when did you realize it was actually the baby moving and not gas or just a muscle spasm? I want to know what to look for...

It does kind of feel like a mucle spasm, most don't even recognize that its the baby wiggling around in there, lol. My doc said that if you want to feel it, drink something higher in caffeine or sugar, like a glass of orange juice, then lay down and you should feel it.

I have a bump and it's big because of my twins. They alternate kicking which is really funny. I sometimes can feel them move especially if I have had something sugary and caffeinated.

caffeine doesn't really work for me..but when I get scared or nervous I can feel the baby move around more  not that you would want to do that to yourself,lol.

Stacie, with me the first time felt like a butterfly moving its wings on my skin which I didn't pay much attention to and then this last week its gotten more frequently but has changed to feeling like someone flicking me. I was a little worried at first but my mom (who is a trained midwife ) just laughed when I told her and said actually thats the baby kicking. I feel it more oftern, after I have had something to drink (espesically a large glass of cold coke) or if I have been active and then lay down to rest.

when i realize it is when i felt like lil prickly feeling from the inside out, but just on one particular spot. It'll do it several times for a few minutes then stop. i notice it more when i just get done eating or not doing much of anything since im not distracted by anything then.

Well I'm 17 weeks and 2 days now. I feel this sharp jab kind of pain in my lower abdomen here and there and I was wondering if it could be the baby....I have no idea since I'm a first time mommy

not a "naked" belly, but it's me at 18 weeks

I still haven't gotten a bump yet I guess after having 2 babies and not really losing the baby weight mine is kinda hidden under left over belly fat from the first 2. I do wish i was already showing though because then i would look prego not puggies. lol anyways my time will come and like some have already said it will come over night

I have always had wayy more muscle than any of the other girls my age & I have a generally bigger body, so to me I still just look pudgy and not pregnant yet.
Im 17 weeks and 1 day, so hopefully i'll actually start to look pregnant!
