You have crossed the half way point of your pregnancy. Things are going to be more intense from now on but your body will know how to handle these changes.
So, what are your physical changes? Some of the symptoms you may endure during the fifth month are: navel discomfort, cramping all over your body, pregnancy haze , round ligament pain, changes in vision, breast changes (again) and increased foot size. You may feel your uterus just below your navel and experience your baby's first kicks. It is a memorable experience. These kicks will grow stronger as your pregnancy progresses. How are you feeling? Emotionally this is probably the month with the most changes. On the one hand you feel special, cannot wait to meet your baby, but on the other hand you may, at times, feel overwhelmed with attention and advice. Everybody from your mother to your grocery store cashier, has an opinion. This can be confusing at times. When you get a chance, you may consider going away for a weekend for reflection and relaxation. Many moms to be have reported over-sensitivity. You are gushing with emotions and sometimes you release them by crying, getting upset and just being moody. If you feel this way, you may consider going for a walk, getting a cup of coffee (not excessively) or shopping. Ease your nerves by going out and not thinking about your state. Ultrasound – should I buy a makeup kit or a baseball mitt? An ultrasound is usually done between the 18th to the 21st week. An ultrasound is primarily done to observe the baby's growth: its structure, heart beat and other organs. A sonogram cannot determine the baby's health, but is an affective tool in finding irregularities. The main attraction for you may be finding out the sex of your baby. This is an extremely emotional and even life changing event. This is your first chance to see your child, and a lot of moms claim this to be the first time they were ecstatic over their pregnancy. Get your partner to go with you. This is a historic moment, your first picture of your baby! This could give your partner a new perspective into your pregnancy and what you are experiencing.

I am 5 months and it feels great. I mean I have my days but for the most part im loving it. My boyfriend thinks that im a nut case, he thinks that im too sensitive. Im always telling him that he is being mean to me. But he likes it so...lol. But my favorite part is when she kicks and she is moving around. I also like when im laying down on my back and I can actually she my belly moving because she's moving.
feeling like blah

I am at 21 weeks and have been feeling my baby move for about 2 weeks now. She is a very active baby and she is already waking me up in my sleep. I have had 2 ultrasounds and everything looks to be in good shape. She is my first and I am so excited to finally feel life inside. I was scared at the beginning when I would feel her move one day and wouldnt feel her move for another 2 days. Now that I am a bit further along I feel and see her move every day. If you arn't sure what the kicks or movements feel like, you will when you have them! Trust me!! It kinda feels like little butterflies fluttering around that get stronger as you move further along in the pregnancy..EXCITING. Over half way there and I can't wait!

I'm 22 weeks right now I think and I have been feeling the baby moving for maybe three weeks now ? Or four. I just remember at first, I felt one swift movement and was like, "Was that the baby?" and now it feels the same every time so I'm sure that was it. It's a strange feeling.
But I do find myself being more emotional than usual and I think my boyfriend thinks I'm being oversensitive but he's really nice about it. ...

Ya know with my first baby i think when she started moving i cold feel it tremendously. Now with this one is a lot different i guess its cuz i didnt loose any weight after zoe and my belly is just full of fat with this poor baby. haha.....but i do feel her move some just not as much as with the first baby...weird
