18 weeks pregnant: Belly flutters, dampness, no morning sickness, and HUNGER

I am turning 18 weeks in 2 days and I didn't feel baby kicks yet! I am very excited to experience it for the first time. Just like you (T_F) i didn't have any morning sickness what so ever! i have very small bump, and wear my regular jeans and clothes, I really thought i will be huge by this time.
So other then on my OB/GYN visits there are no evidence that i am pregnant!

Ohh also i cant wear perfume of any kind now. i break out.. That happen to anyone??

So im 18 weeks today. I had an ultrasound back in Feb and my baby was very very active, It was hard to get a good picture of him/her. But still i feel no movement yet.. it worries me. I havnt had any morning sickness rarely any symptoms. i have the "dampness" and im hungry all the time, and thats really it.. sometimes i dont feel pregnant at all. has anyone else had a pregnancy like this?? No symptoms??

Hey - did you ever reach the point where you 'thought' you were feeling it, to where you KNEW you were? Just curious when that happens to people :)

Flutters feel like (to me).......
When you go to the pet store and buy a fish, you carry this fish in this clear bag full of water home in your lap because you don't want it rolling around in the floor or seat. The feeling of that fish rubbing around the bag or pushing trying to get out! That's what the first few weeks of movement feel like to me! That is the only thing that I can think of that describes the movements that are going on in me right now! LOL I love my little fishy! LOL Due Feb 4, 2010

I am feeling all of the above and this is my third child. Its been a long time though, my oldest is 13 and my youngest just turned 8. Im excited but going through some very different things. Dampness is definitely an issue and I just detest it. Pantyliners here I come! Im feeling flutters and actually I felt them quite early but Im told women who have had children usually can feel it sooner. So, with that information I dont feel as though Im from Mars.

My daughter does it on a daily basis sometimes to the point it makes me sick. But in the end we’ll get amnesia once we hold our babies and forget all about our pregnancy aggravations.

Sounds like you're trading your morning sickness for some new joys:-) Actually, isn't it awesome to be hungry rather than nauseated? I loved the second trimester. People can actually TELL you're pregnant, rather than just chubby so it doesn't seem strange to them when you want to eat everything in sight.
The first flutters DO feel like intestinal gas. It's just when they start coming more often that you'll know it's proabably the baby. I used to love to watch my belly change shape in the later months when the baby would stretch and wiggle. It's amazing entertainment (except they always seem to wake up when you are trying to sleep!)

Oh god, the dampness with twins starts from the moment you find out you're pregnant. It seriously sucks ass. And I'm hungry all the time too. It's kinda nice after so many weeks of not want to eat anything.

Just wait, that little boy will be kicking the crap out of you soon enough. Adia woke me up every morning with several swift kicks to the ribs. Wait, she still does...

don't you love it? I'm 25 weeks, and I don't feel attractive AT ALL. And having all those weird bodily function occur doesn't help much, plus add the fact that all I want to do is eat. Wait until your son kicks the crap out of you from the inside. My daughter does it on a daily basis sometimes to the point it makes me sick. But in the end we'll get amnesia once we hold our babies and forget all about our pregnancy aggravations.

Yeah, that dampness is not fun. Unfortunately, it only gets damper, thicker, and more frequent till the end.

Those first flutters are so exciting! You're right , it does feel like gas at first, sometimes hard to distinguish between the two. I can imagine how excited you must be.

Hahaha! Panty-liners are a g0d send! It gets worse the further along you get too. I know all about leaking from everywhere. Aside from excessive discharge by 4 1/2 months, my boobs were leaking already! Just a heads up, it doesn't happen to everyone though, but it's totally normal if it does happen.

I remember people telling me I would feel "flutters" and I felt the same way you did, "what the heck does a flutter feel like?!" You'll know. There was no way I could have mistaken it for gas, it felt nothing like any gas I've ever had! If it starts happening more often or a few times, it's probably the baby.

Congrats on a baby boy! :)
