There or not?
I think this is something all pregnant women go through. At that phase where there are no outward signs of pregnancy and things like morning sickness have eased, you start to doubt if it's really happening. could you possibly be pregnant without any tangible evidence to support it. Complete strangers can look at me and they won't know I'm pregnant - I haven't got a bump. This has lead to severe cases of bump envy - all other pregnant women have better bumps than me.
And so, the debate has raged in our house as to whether I have a baby bump or not. J says I obviously do, but I think I just look like I ate a large lunch and may have wind!
This morning, however, I remembered the Test! When I first found out I was pregnant, I asked Jamie to measure the 'inny-ness' of my belly button (many women's belly buttons pop out when they're pregnant and I wanted to be able to check if mine would do that). Anyway at that stage Jamie was able to up to the first knickle of his index finger into my belly button (I've realised, just now, how seedy this sounds and yes I have a VERY inny belly button).
Last night I insisted the Test was repeated. This time J was only able to get half-way to the first knuckle on his index finger in. This means that whether you can visbily see the bump or not there is something in there putting pressure on my belly button in an outward direction!
I am less inny than before ==> therefore I must be pregnant!

In the middle bit of pregnancy you won't feel 'as' pregnant coz your symptoms of morning sickness etc will stop BUT towards the third trimester your definatly going to feel and look pregnant! Be pleased that you have no bump at moment because it is no fun when 'bump' gets big and you waddle like a penguin when you walk....then theres the heart burn and the cramps and swollen ankles...some women get piles...nice eh? BUT its all worth it in the end!! R u going to find out what you are having before the birth?
