BellaOnline Forums Health and Fitness Pregnancy Implantation - have you felt it?

I've done some digging, and apparently some women and medical practitioners feel you may be able to discern just when the fertilized egg is burrowing in. I've had 3 babies, and I can't say I ever recognized this? Has anyone been able to tell this was happening? Can you describe what it felt like?

I am 19 wks preg with my 6th baby (5th living) and I have never ever felt it to the best of my knowledge. The first sign I've always had was a weird crampy feeling a day or so before my period was due. I've never experienced implantation bleeding either.

Maybe I couldn't feel it because I didnt' want to be pregnant the first time and with all the other pregs I had little ones keeping me too busy to sit and think about what I felt.

Hey, Thanks for responding...I didn't think I've ever felt it, with 3 previous babies, but I am wondering (just one or two days away from maybe starting) if I didn't actually feel it this time. I suppose I'll know shortly!

Thanks for your input, I hope you'll stick around. And it seems you've been here awhile, so please offer any advice you think I could use.

P.S. Meg, we homeschool, too. Love to share anytime.

Well, maybe you are feeling it, i think we become more intune with our bodies as time goes and with the more kids we have. Then again, maybe you *want* to feel it so you do, ya know what I mean? Goodness knows I've convinced myself in the other way, so sure I would lose a baby again I made myself feel and pretty much see things that just weren't there (thankfully!)

I've been homeschooling for almost 7 years now and the hoemschool editor here for around 4 years <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
