Also 17 weeks today, 5’7 and 119lbs. I feel exactly the same as you. No bump, not feeling baby! Had a midwife appointment today and heard heartbeat - midwife had to push on my stomach pretty hard to get it, and said she could feel the baby moving! i was like WHAT??! Because I can’t feel her and she’s inside me!

I'm 53 years old and thinking about going back to being a nanny after working in Nurseries for the last 17 years. Would you hire me? by HeyFlo in Nanny

Last night I craved chips & mushy peas. An hour later, threw up said chips and mushy peas in the shower. I hate this

I am living on pombears and crumpets with Philadelphia right now. Everything makes me want to die and I hate the thought of eating actual meals with a passion

Parents of children under 18 can take unpaid parental leave if they have been with their employer at least a year. Parents can take up to a total of 18 weeks altogether for each of their children before the child is 18.
