Hey ladies, well I ain't been on over the past few days so thought I'd share with you how happy I'm feeling lately, lol. I am finally 24 weeks, my baby girl is "viable" and my mind is finally so at ease knowing this. It's beginning to feel more real now. I'm 25 weeks on Monday, only 15 weeks left to go. *sigh* Anyways just wondering, how long did it take most of you to realise, accept and understand you were pregnant? But how long did it take you to actually REALLY know? If that makes sense, when did you get used to it cos I'm still not. Crying or Very sad

I am 27 weeks now, and even though I could feel him moving around and kicking and everything, I think it's become more of a reality now that my belly is really bulging. Crazy enough but i think my belly grew like inches in just two weeks. So yes, right around now, when the baby is getting big enough that i can look down and be like "woah!" So it seems like now its really real. And now I find myself counting down the weeks already!
I am already getting nervous about labor and that's 13 weeks away! lol

And it's kinda going by slow. How about for you? Is it going by quick or slow for you too?

My pregnancy has gone so quickly but it did take me a while to actually feel pregnant. i knew i was pregnant but i just didn't feel like a mum. I think it was about 21week just after i found out she was a girl when i finally felt like a real mum
