How exciting on feeling you baby. I love it. Expect when i'm trying to sleep and he jabs me on the side, then I move on my back and he just starts to play around. The only worse it gets is when baby jabs u in the ribs but other than that its a wonderful feeling :d

Did you get a positive test?? Why have you gone to the doc yet? You need prenatal care and vitamins!

In the mean time I would suggest prenatals from over the counter!! I think u r probably alot further along then u think. Gaining ten pounds all of a sudden isn't a good thing!! Sorry if I am worrying u but it just seems strange.

and that is where you should go to get the otc prenatal, just get the wal mart brand... They will do good until you get the ones from the doc. I couldn't really take prenatals with any of mine pregs but when I did I eaither took flintstones or walmart brand and the doc said that is fine. Flintstones are good because they are easier on your stomach, but after a while the taste got to me!!! And the wal mart ones aren't as large as the ones you normally get from the dr so they are also easier to digest... Good luck!!!! How much do you normally weigh, because I felt this last baby really early, but because my abdominal walls are so week from prior pregs, but if you are really small and petite you could feel things earlier also. My b/f is 4 ' 11" (@ 22 yrs old!) and weighed 98 lbs when pre-pregnancy, so she felt things pretty early!!! Her body also tried to fight off the preg though and later on she lost 20lbs and had to be hospitalized because she couldn't keep anything down and lost 20 lbs!!! It is crazy what our bodies will put us through!!!
