22 weeks is supposed to be 6 months not 5

re: Weeks 21-24 (Month 5): Papaya

karukaru - breakdowns of months and weeks differ from source to source as it clearly says on the website above.  it does not mean that the nest or their source is incorrect.

I'm just starting to show, but it really depends on what I wear.  I can definately hide it if I want (but I don't want!)  My little bugger moves an awful lot too!

re: Weeks 21-24 (Month 5): Papaya

I just started to feel the baby kick like one week ago, and still its not very often.  My dr. said that its normal for 1st pregnancys to feel the first kick from 20-24 weeks.

re: Weeks 21-24 (Month 5): Papaya

Once the Dr. told me that my uterus was all in front & just below my belly button, and that everything above was my guts, I realized that a lot of the bubbles I attributed to gas were actually my little boy! Just starting to show, and my belly's getting a lot firmer!

re: Weeks 21-24 (Month 5): Papaya

P.S. I feel movement the most after I eat, right when I wake up, and right before bed - best with my hand on my belly.

re: Weeks 21-24 (Month 5): Papaya

I feel baby most laying down, and while I did feel him quite early, he's only now getting strong enough for others to feel.  I'm only showing in certain clothes, so while it's really noticable to me, it's not entirely to other people.

re: Weeks 21-24 (Month 5): Papaya

Man, you all are making me feel HUGE!  I am 5' tall, and my belly is so big, everyone keeps asking if I'm having multiples!  I look like some people at 6 or 7 months.  There's definitely no hiding this baby! (not that I mind...)  I guess being so short, I had no where for his to be but outward!

re: Weeks 21-24 (Month 5): Papaya

My baby is doing riverdancing down there!  At time, I feel no movement  and played some music... the baby woke up and was active.  So that was when I knew Baby was doing good :)  My husband felt baby move and kicked on occasion and heard movements.  The baby would calm down when Daddy talks then starts to be active when he wasn't!  It was sooo funny!

re: Weeks 21-24 (Month 5): Papaya

My baby is just really starting to play soccer in my belly. I just started to feel it like 2-3 weeks ago but it keeps getting stronger hopefully soon she can kick  her daddy :) I started to show around my 4-5 month, but it really depends on what I wear to really be able to tell. But I actually like the fact that people know I am pregnant and not just gaining weight for no reason at all.. :)

re: Weeks 21-24 (Month 5): Papaya

Man, my lil Jakob is really active too. The last two days he was kicking the crap out of me. One minute, I get a kick down low, and then the next he will kick me up high.  I only really started feeling him kicking about a week ago but he has gotten active fast. My hubby felt him the other day. He was so happy.

re: Weeks 21-24 (Month 5): Papaya

I just turned 21 wks and I do not feel a lot of movement yet. I think I feel some flutters or bubbles below my belly button. At first I was not sure if it was the baby moving or not but I have been feeling it a little more, so I guess that's the baby moving. I can not feel or see any movement on the outside of my belly yet. Since my movements are not real clear yet I was starting to worry but reading some of these posts and other listings, I think it's okay. I did see the baby move on the u/s a few weeks ago I just didn't feel it.

re: Weeks 21-24 (Month 5): Papaya

I've been able to feel the baby move for a few weeks now and she's getting alot stronger. My husband felt her move about a week ago. She was extremly active for about 2 weeks then these last few days she's really calmed down I still feel her move but not as much so it really makes me wonder if there is something wrong.

re: Weeks 21-24 (Month 5): Papaya

I had no idea that papayas were that big!  I feel baby moving ALL the time.  I get kicked and poked everywhere!  I'm still getting a good nights sleep right now, so I hope this means that his sleep cycle will mesh with mine once he's born.

re: Weeks 21-24 (Month 5): Papaya

I wasn't feeling anything either, so at my last appointment my dr looked during my ultra sound and it turns out I have a "thick" placenta that is inbetween the baby and I.  I am 22 weeks and just starting to feel the flutters.

I'm 22 weeks and have been feeling my little one for a long time now. turns out my placenta is on the back side of my uterus. He's packing quite a punch now and my husband has even gotten to see him move. I'm showing, but to me it still just looks like chub,(tho I was never very chubby) from the front my tummy looks like a round Vee,coming to a point at my belly button  and from the side it  looks like my tummy is pouting. ;) LOL

The same day I found out I was having a girl I felt her move for the first time for sure. It is the coolest feeling!! My husband can feel her too a little. I can't wait until she's really kicking.

Sleeping 12-14 hrs a day!?  Lucky girl!  That explains why I haven't felt her move as much!  I was getting worried.  I love my papaya!

I'm 23 weeks and my little girl is a ninja. She's go very long legs which explains why she spokes me everywhere and i do mean every where. She likes my singing and she dances when i'm dancing.

I don't think this lil lady knows she's supposed to sleep alot. LOL!

re: Weeks 21-24 (Month 5): Papaya

Well I am definitely showing - but I am or should I say was 5'5" and 134 lbs - so nowhere really to hide the bump...lol...not that I mind too much.  I am just worried about getting too big.  Anyway, our lil girl is very active in the morning when I am getting ready to walk our Chi...and she is very active when I am hungry and when I am eating...lol...oh and anytime my Chi sits in my lap she kicks him...hmm already a love/hate relationship going on there...

re: Weeks 21-24 (Month 5): Papaya

i'm 22 weeks 4 days today, and this little munchkin takes great pleasure out of kicking me in the most painful places at the most inopportune times! So far the favorite seems to be during long car rides, around 20 minutes past the last rest stop, and right on top of my bladder!  a couple of days ago my hubby spent half an hour just holding my belly to feel our little one playing!

re: Weeks 21-24 (Month 5): Papaya

I am 24 weeks now with my first, but I have been able to feel my baby kick since 18 weeks. Maybe thats because I am carrying her mostly inside or maybe she's just big. Who knows? But I don't think she sleeps that much, she is always active! She is still in breech position so she kicks my cervix a lot, which can be very uncomfortable (especially during church) and painful.

I'm at 21 weeks and this little Ninja loves kicking me especially in my bladder not to mention kicking everywhere else in there. Then sometimes it feels like he's pushing against the front of my stomach... I'm finally starting to show but only recently.

re: Weeks 21-24 (Month 5): Papaya

I am 22 weeks and I actually felt my little guy moving around 16 weeks but that is really early for a first pregnancy. I am showing for sure, looks like a basketball and people definately notice. I think it is so fun. He kicks me all the time but mostly first thing in the morning, after meals and at night while I am in bed. My hubby felt it for the first time this week which we have been waiting for forever. We had a u/s Tuesday and the tech did some 3-D for us which was really nice. It was so cool to see his face but not much fat on it. We have the cutest profile pic of him and you can really see his little button nose and sweet little lips. Adorable!!

I can tell now that this baby's a heavyweight! Baby Emily likes to kick me MOST when I'm trying to sleep....I guess she's naturally lulled by my daily movements and awake when I'm still & relaxed!!

my lil one is moving like crazy. I definitly feel him but he's still not quite strong enough for other people to. im 22 wks so im not entirley sure if its normal but hes getting there so eventually other people will be feeling his kicks and then theyll probably have an even bigger obsession with touching the belly. is it just me or does that drive any one else insane too?

I'm 22 weeks and I started to feel my little one kick about two weeks ago, but it wasn't strong and not often. Well while we were at the movies last week, the baby was really active (guess b/c of the noise) and my hubby could feel it kicking too! Now I feel it kickand move more often.

re: Weeks 21-24 (Month 5): Papaya

I'm 22 weeks with my first pregnancy and I have been able to feel our Bailey's little flutters since I was about 14 weeks... I didn't understand at that time that that's what it was, but they have become progressively stronger over time. It's the same feelings of flips and twists and punches, just much harder. And right in the bladder! It sends me running to the bathroom sometimes! I feel it most right when I lay down at night, or when I am sitting down while leaning forward.. I can even see her movements on the outside of my stomach! But my husband is having a hard time feeling or even seeing it... I don't understand! It's like she calms down as soon as he comes over to feel. He's getting discouraged... poor dad.

HOW ARE YOU LADIES SLEEPING...?? I usually sleep on my stomach and of course now that cant be the case. I asked my doctor about sleeping on my back instead and she said that my side is the best way to sleep. Needless to say, After going through 3 pillows for comfort last night, I got NO SLEEP! I am so sleepy right now! (24 weeks today)

re: Weeks 21-24 (Month 5): Papaya

KSchickling0707  It took my husband a while to feel the baby kick too..the same thing happened to him, every time he would come over, the baby would stop! I had to keep telling him to be patient and just sit there for a while with his hand on my belly, finally he was able to feel the kicking and he thought it was the greatest thing ever! And I can definitely relate to the kicking in the bladder! Its such a weird feeling!

re: Weeks 21-24 (Month 5): Papaya

I'm 22 weeks today and I've been feeling the baby really well for about 2 weeks. Before that I wasn't sure, but a friend described her first baby feelings are little muscle spasms and that's exactly what mine felt like! I knew I was feeling the baby for sure. The baby and I are definately on different sleep schedules at this point. She/He loves the night time! And I got a word of advice from another friend... if you haven't felt the baby move in a while and you're getting worried drink a glass of really cold water. It wakes my baby up and gets it kickin every time!

This is my first pregnancy and I've been feeling baby Bella move since I was 16 weeks and my hubby has been able to feel her move since about week 18.  Is that weird?  I keep reading all these entries from soon to be mamas saying they are just starting to feel their babies movements.  Do i just have a abnormally strong little girl in my tummy??????

I have felt baby Parker move since 17 weeks.  I am 22 weeks now and he is moving much more.  My husband could feel him move around 19 weeks so I wouldnt say it is weird I think it just varies from woman to woman.  Or we both have strong little babies!

I haven't started decorating the nursery yet, so no, you are not alone! And I've been feeling movements for a few weeks but yesterday I got very aggravated and stressed at work and within 5 minutes baby Conner was just going nuts! He was kicking and moving for about 45 minutes. I guess he doesn't like it when I'm upset!

re: Weeks 21-24 (Month 5): Papaya

This is my third kiddo (y'all pray its a girl!), and I was able to feel pressure at 16 weeks. I'm having slight braxton hicks (I'm 21 weeks today). My hubby got kicked by "squirt" in the ribs the other night while snuggling with me. Squirt seems to be most active in the evening and when I'm resting. Sleep and being able to catch my breath aren't in the cards for now. Forget walking while pushing a stroller with a two year old. I'll be lazy for now LOL.

I've been showing for several weeks now, but am just really starting to pop out big! I've been feeling my little guy in there for a few weeks, too. He's having a party in there it feels like!! :)

re: Weeks 21-24 (Month 5): Papaya

I thought I was the only one that would feel my baby girl moving in the morning only and then at night. It's alos funny because when my husband tries to touch or feel her moving she stops.

re: Weeks 21-24 (Month 5): Papaya

The same thing happens to me! She moves in the morning and at night before I go to sleep! My husband gets so frustrated because when I say she's moving and he puts his hand there she stops!

re: Weeks 21-24 (Month 5): Papaya

I've been feeling "sensations" since about 18 weeks, but haven't really felt actual movement until about 21 weeks, and am now 22, but still not feeling it all the time, and not really any kicking. I am definitely showing, but not too much, guess cause I'm tall. Anyone feeling like this is such a reality now and is getting a little overwhelmed?

All I know is this little Papaya sure acts like she is at Gymboree or something...flips punchs kicks.. I'm so proud she's active!! Just not really thrilled that I'm the opposite of anyone I have spoken to -- first starting to get nausea now in week 22... nothing in trimester 1

Anyone else getting a lot of braxton hicks at this point?  I'm 24 weeks and I have been and quite frankly, they are freaking me out.....My doctor says its ok as long as they aren't able to be timed and if they go away if you change positions.  Plus she said to drink more water...  Still worried...

re: Weeks 21-24 (Month 5): Papaya

My girl is kicking all the time.  I think there are a alot of factors such as if it's your first baby, your size before you got pregnant, andpossibly the size of the baby that determine when and how often you fele the baby kick.  Don't worry - I thought I wasn't feeling her much at all a week or 2 ago - now she's on the move constantly!  I'm showing quite a bit now, but I was tiny to begin with, so I'm all baby.  Anyway, I'm enjoying every minute of my first pregnancy!  As eager as we are to meet her, I know it will be here before we know it =)

re: Weeks 21-24 (Month 5): Papaya

Papaya!  I love papayas.....It's a wonderful feeling to have my little girl kicking in my tummy.  Most of the time they are small kicks but some times she goes all martial arts and my DH can see it and feel the kicks.  And that's awesome because he feels a little left out of the excitement sometimes and this helps him be a part of it a little more.  I agree with you....she'll be here before we know it!  So many things to do! : )

I usually feel my "Itsy" moving when I'm talking with a client at work (she's already demanding all my attention)!  I am 22 weeks and I have been feeling flutters since about 18-19 weeks, but now I'm feeling full fledged kicks and punches, which I love.  Hubby hasn't been able to feel them yet, but can't wait for that step!

re: Weeks 21-24 (Month 5): Papaya

My little guy is always moving around and letting me know that he is there.  It seems like he already knows his name because when ever someone says his name he starts to kick me.  Last night my BF and I were watching TV and I had the remote on my stomach and my little Alexander kicked the remote off of my stomach...it was the funniest thing he has done yet!

my bf has been feeling little blake move for a couple of weeks. :) i've been feeling it way longer, i think at like 16 weeks i felt the first definite kick. i'm FINALLY starting to show a little bit! lol i still get bloated a lot so that makes it look even more so, but a lot of it is baby. it also depends on how he's laying, i look more preggo on somedays more than others. and i'm not sure my baby actually sleeps that much! haha he's always kicking around. it's okay though, i love it. :)

re: Weeks 21-24 (Month 5): Papaya

We found out last week that we are having a boy, but people have been telling me that for weeks.  There is not doubt that I am pregnant to anyone that takes a look at my belly.  From the back, though, you would never know.  I know another woman that is a few weeks behind me, and I would never guess that she is pregnant.  It's funny how everyone is so different.  I've been feeling movement since around 14 weeks, and my husband finally felt his first kick this week.  According to the doctor, my little boy is already one pound!

I am already showing spl coz my body frame is not that big. Looks like i've only put on weight on my belly. it looks huge. lol.

My lil one moves a lot too. she did not like daddy's touch initially. she will stop as soon as DH will put his hand on my belly. But she is ok with him now.

I LOVE feeling the baby move! It's my favorite part. It moves ALL THE TIME.  It's a power napper for about an hour and then is up for an hour, then down, then up.  It's great! Saw a little foot stick out of my tummy the other day. My dh saw it too. It was just the cutes oblong shape pushing as hard as it could! I can't wait to see it again!  I am really showing. We don't know what we're having but everyone keeps guessing it's a boy!

papaya is not my fav fruit but i feel my baby girl kick a lot! its so cute! i'm starting to get an idea of when she's awake and sleeping. She wakes me up about 5am. Kicks a lot about 10am, 2pm, 5pm, 10pm and that its so far. My belly is so round and bout my first maternity pants. H&M has maternity clothes now and i love it! OH and her little kicks are way stronger than 2 weeks ago. My fiance, mother, sister and co-worker felt her kick already which is a nice thing to share with other people.

I'm so glad to hear that I'm not alone--my morning sickness seems to have come back as well! Just in the afternoon so far though.

I've been showing for a LONG time and people also ask me if I'm having multiples! Baby is kicking steadily and I'm finding that he/she is awake when I am (hopefully thats a good sign that they'll be on a schedule when they come out!! lol)

You guys are so funny. I am so big already, there is no hiding this! I'm also really short, 5'2 and there is no where for this belly to go. The doctor says I am on track with my weight, so I guess this is just how my body looks prego. I have been feeling my little guy kick and punch just about every day. I notice it a few minutes after I eat, especially if I eat anything sweet. I'm trying to get my husband to feel it, but he is always too late or the baby stops.
