YOu wake in the night and try to turn and it feels like your bump is being ripped off
YOu sneeze or cough and get that same feeling
YOu feel exhausted and can sleep constantly

Oh yes it appears that im going through a growth spurt again, as i have all of the above. With the added bonus of waking in the night by baby Oliver kicking me and then not being able to back to sleep as i felt as if someone was squeezing me around the ribs so tight i could hardly breathe.

Ah the joys, however i am very excited as Ollie is getting much stronger with the kicking and the punching which are easily felt from the outside now

I've haven't had too many physical symptoms altho I eat like a pig at mo, but my belly/bump seems to have grown massively in just 2 days. In fact my tummy aches like its just stretching outwards like I have a balloon slowly trying to inflate. I can't believe it has grown so much in 2 days. Hubby was saying that baby takes almost 20 weeks to grow to this size and then almost starts to double in next couple of weeks (he's been reading the baby book!)

achy pains when walking around for too long....... bump is taking over the world !!

LOL sooooo true!!!!!! Experiencing it all at the moment.

23 weeks

and when your boobs start resting on your bump!!

do you sleep with a maternity pillow 2bsmart? john lewis do a good one - the dream genii. its brilliant and helps me support my bump when i roll over.

know what you mean about the strong kicking and punching! I think its a boy thing!!!! girls surely wouldnt punch this hard!? Brody is constantly kicking and punching away in there - as was clearly evident in our last scan (which i had that one recorded on take home dvd!!!) i just love sitting here and watching my belly jump constantly now. makes me think though... is he having fun in there or trying to get out?? as long as he stays comfortable for the next 4 months im happy!
