Not sure but i saw a show the other day where the OB said its at around 20 weeks when you can feel it at the belly button.

I haven't spilled on Facebook yet. I have this dream of being able to announce that it's a girl at the same time! I definitely don't want any comments about 4 boys.
With my second I believe it popped out from behind between 9-10 weeks, this time it was 8 weeks. And now at 17 weeks its up a fingertip above my belly button!
I told on Facebook at about 10 1/2 weeks. It was a complete surprise for most of my friends since DS2 had just turned 1. But I had tons of gender comments, and now that I announced its a boy, I have a lot if just "oh wow" comments.... Ugh. Like he's any less special because he's a HE. And then there's been a lot of "are you gonna try again for a girl?" when I don't even know how I'll handle 3 yet!! Kinda wish I had just gone the whole pregnancy without saying and then post a picture when he's born lol. Maybe I'll do that IF I have a 4th!
Gosh people can be so rude. Facebook is dangerous!
Our third fourth fifth or sixth boys are not any less special just because they aren't girls. Just because we were trying for a girl doesn't mean we don't love our sweet boys! people need to learn to watch their mouths or they are going to get punched!
My uterus feels awful high for 16 weeks but I suppose its normal for subsequent pregnanies. The average though is 12 weeks and like cinss said it's 20 weeks for the navel area.
My SIL is pregnant, 1 week ahead of me with her first child. We told eachother about being pregnant right away because we both knew the other was trying. She posted on FB already at about 8 weeks for her that they are expecting, and i cant help but feel like she did it so early to "beat" me to the the attention of the family. Not that it matters or anything i am happy that she is so excited about it and i do want her to have the attention because it is her first. I just think that FB causes drama, last time i didnt say anything on FB, then when DD was born i posted pics, and got all the shocked comments from distant friends who had no idea i was pregnant. Not sure what i will do this time around, i do want to avoid the gender comments.
I think the answer to everything that upsets or bothers us is...we should just punch whoever ticked us off in the face. It really seems like it would make everything better. So going forward, if someone says or does somethings that offends or aggravates any of us in this thread, just wind up and knock them the F>>K OUT!!!! Problem solved...lol.
Yeah I heard pregnant women get pardons for punching people out....hormones :wink:
And to switch gears here, I'm so sick tonight!!!! I have another headache too. I don't think I've had these before when pregnant. What a crappy feeling.
