hmmm....That's a hard one. I'm almost 35 weeks and have for a while now. Now it looks like my stomach is doing the wave. Lol

i'm throwing out a wild round about guess when I did. I think probably 30 weeks. It's cool when it happens and other people get such a kick out of it!


i am almost 30 weeks and can see him rolling around a lot now but I have been able to see his kicks from about 25 wks. It's different for everyone.

your 18 weeks according to what? The date of your last period or when you think you got pregnant.. B/c i'm 15weeks 4 days according to when I was ovulating and think I got pregnant but according to the Dr. I'm 16 weeks and 6 days. So I don't know what to tell people when they ask how far along I am.. The Dr. Goes by the date of my last period so I dunno it's really confusing for me.. Thank you

Ya, you should just always go by the date of your last period, unless during an u/s they give you a different date.

I've also started to be able to see my little guy move in my belly!! It's the coolest thing!! :)

i'm confused b/c yuor say your last period was on the 9th of dec. And your 19 weeks so when did you get pregnant when you were on you period.. I thought we ovulate about 2 weeks after are period.. So my last period was on dec. 19th so I go by that date even though I know I didn't get preggo then I think I got pregnant on dec. 31st I dunno this whole thing is so confusing.. Thanks for the advise

Yes, you start your pregnancy from the first day of your last period. So in your case your was on december 19, so you are now about 17 weeks pregnant. Go to pregnancyandbaby.Com and play around with the dates. It will explain it to you! Good luck hun!

so we add 2 weeks on to when we concieved.. Even though the baby is not 17weeks he/she is 15weeks I still would say i'm 17 weeks b/c of my last period...

Exactly!! You go by the date of your last period! The "gestational" time is different, but it's usually too hard to figure that out, so you always go by the date of your last period! That's what the doctor goes by and all the pregnancy web sites. So at two weeks pregnant, is when you actually concieved, and by the time you miss a period, you are allready 4 weeks pregnant!!

oh ok that helps me be a little less confused. So even when we go for are ultra sound it would still add the to weeks in there. Like lets say ok my last period was dec19 and I concieved on the 31 of dec. On my ultra sound it would say i've been preggo since dec. 19 right. Or some time after that date.. Thank you

Yes, I think the u/s adds the weeks on there. You should really ask your doctor to explain it to you very well!
