20 weeks: What baby movements??

By now I should be feeling lil baby girl move around inside my slow growing belly, but it's just not happening... and if it is, it's not very convincing :(

I'm in my 20th week and supposedly I'll feel more definite movements in the coming weeks, but for now, I should feel some subtle movements at least. Sometimes they say that women mistake movements for gas or other bodily functions. Maybe that's what I'm feeling. Sometimes when my stomach is upset, I have a sneaking suspicion it's her. Oh well, hopefully all is well inside and she's growing to be healthy and strong.

We've signed up for Lamaze classes and I've signed up for prenatal yoga classes, so we're getting the pieces in place for a hopefully smooth delivery in November. Of course, some of the you tube videos I've been watching of women in labor and giving birth aren't helping... actually scaring the crap out of me right now. But I just have to keep reminding myself that this is a natural part of womanhood and I'll get through it...somehow ;-)

Don't worry if you don't feel any movement as yet. I think I mistook gas for movement sometimes!!!! Ha, ha, ha. Yes, I am laughing at my own joke. A lot of people don't pin down the random feelings in their belly for movement until later.
