For the last couple of days I've been able to put my hands on my belly and feel little flutters. I read that I should start feeling these sensations now and that it may feel like gas bubbles but is actually the baby moving around in there. The hubby felt it too which was really exciting.
But flutters aren't the only thing I've been feeling. Friday and Saturday I was having a lot of "growing pains". Sharp pulling pains around one side of my belly that felt like a bad muscle pull. It was pretty sharp and would come on suddenly and stop me in my tracks. My midwife said that it could be a number of things - my uterus expanding, stretching from lifting too much at the gym, gas (there's that word again) or pressure from the baby's head pushing on one side.
Gas is blamed for feelings of nausea, looking more pregnant one day than the next because of bloating, indigestion and other things of the like. Can I add bouts of grumpiness and aggitation to this list? Because I would love to just let my frustrations out when I'm having a bad day at work and just say "oh sorry, I have gas".
