First kicks

edited April 2014 in Pregnant after IF
19w5d, 5.30 am. I'd been awake since 4-ish, we are at my aunt and uncle's for Passover sleeping on a pullout couch. I'm lying awake reading articles about the Overland Park shooting and a Boston Globe in-depth story about the family of Martin Richards, the 8-year-old killed in the Boston Marathon bombings last year. And all of a sudden, I feel these unmistakable twinges. I waited until it had happened a few times (all in exactly the same place) then whispered to DH, "I think I just felt Munchkin kick." He woke right up and I put his hand over my abdomen and sure enough, within about 45 seconds it happened again and he could feel it. We looked at each other in shock and amazement, he kissed me...and then went back to sleep. Heh. I'm just...wow. Beyond overwhelmed, teary-eyed...just wow.

(Edited how far along I am because it's Monday, not Sunday. Preggo brain!)

    That is awesome :) It took me quite awhile to feel the first kicks too (though I was trying from about 15 weeks onwards lol) but once it happens, it's like, wow. That's your little baby girl in there! Now that you've felt it once you'll be able to notice them more and more now.

    Then she'll start kicking you in the ribs at 2am and wake you up just to say hi mom! :)

    That's the best!  I was 19w exactly when I felt the first unmistakeable kicks and it was the best.  I couldn't concentrate on work the rest of the day that day :-)  I'm at the point now where the kicks are so strong they scare me sometimes and I jump haha, but not so much that they hurt, don't worry - that's always fun when it happens if I'm in a meeting or something.

    Enjoy those little movements!

    Awww so sweet!! I was 14w2d when I felt the first (and so far the only) movement :) I was squished in the backseat of a car between my mom and husband. We were driving an hour home from a 4 hour shopping trip at ikea. I was sitting in the middle and was on one hip and leaned to my left to put my head on my mom's shoulder to try and nap. I was hunched over on my left side (where LO has been at every u/s) and felt the strongest "push" like 3 times. I instantly shot up, laughing, because I knew it was my LO, obviously uncomfortable lol can't wait to feel more :)

    Me:Hypothyroid DH: Type II diabetic. Together since 03/2007, Married 10/2011, D/C bc 10/2011. TTC: 11/2011. Charted BBT and CV along with OPK 10/2011-02/2012 Baseline labs 02/2012 WNL, SA 03/2012: botched sample by lab - destroyed hubby's confidence. 04/2012 Clomid 05/2012 Clomid 06/2012 Clomid 07/2012 Clomid and Ovidrel 08/2012 Ovidrel (I never knew that I was supposed to be monitored while on meds...I never was. I asked for u/s and other tests to see why we weren't getting pregnant, doc just kept giving me meds and telling me to go to his church for a "laying of hands") Stopped all monitoring/testing/temps, etc, Sex became a chore and we started to grow apart. At 12 mos I decided to look for another doc. 02/2013 consult with new doc....3 days later testing began...u/s, all good, HSG: all good, labs: all good, ovulating, etc. Started on Pregnitude. 04/2013 failed attempt for SA, 05/2013 failed attempt SA. 12/2013 SA: 3% morph, abnormal functionality. DH started Pycnogenol. RE consult 01/15/2014.
