A couple weeks ago I thought I felt movement but then chalked it up to having gas. Lord knows I've had plenty of it this entire pregnancy. Seriously, it is bad. Thank goodness Brian really loves me. haha
But today at work while sitting very still and in a serious thought about whatever it was I was working on, I swear I felt a faint flutter type feeling in my right side. It was about belly button level but to the right of the belly button. I haven't had any gas this afternoon so I'm curious if I actually felt the first movement. It lasted for a bit but then haven't felt anything since. I can't decide as I really don't know what to look for or expect. I've read that it can feel like butterfly flutters or tiny, settle stabs. I'm 17 weeks 3 days, so I'm getting close to where I should start feeling movement and I read that smaller build women can sometimes feel the movement sooner. So maybe it was??? I'd like to think it was anyways! I had a horrible headache yesterday and all through the night so it kinda brightened up my day.
This week my nose has been running like crazy. Last week my dr said to expect a constant running nose as it can be a pregnancy symptom that could develop at this point and stay for the remainder of the time. Well I think it has made it's visit. I know it's not allergies because my right ear isn't itchy. When my allergies flare up, my right ear goes hay wire and drives me crazy. Needless to say zyrtec and astepro allergy nasal spray are on my daily to take list. (don't worry all you dr's out there - these both are approved by & one prescribed by my dr :-) So since it isn't allergies, I guess I'm a lucky candidate to get the pregnancy running nose. My toilet paper bill has already doubled since I pee all the time so I guess my kleenex bill mine as well too.
Other than the headache and running nose, I'm still feeling good. Certainly can't complain!!!
Next week when I hit 18 weeks, I will post another belly picture. It has changed (grown) a bunch since the picture I took at 14 weeks.
