It was the craziest first day of classes today. I left my iphone in a single-occupancy restroom at the college where I teach. A half an hour later, on my way to teach a class, I noticed it was missing. To make a long story short, my students showed me how to track it down and we were able to see exactly where it was on GPS. The guy who took it brought it back once it started making weird sounds through the tracking devise my students set up, but I was losing my mind for that half an hour before we found it.
I was a little concerned for the baby because I have never been that frantic during the pregnancy. I was feeling some round ligament pain at one point while I was running around like crazy. I also felt it a little yesterday, it's almost as if I'm feeling the baby growing. I love that. The baby is fine, she's been kicking normally since the incident. I just hate it that I had to make her nervous like that over a material possession.
Some people commented on how they couldn't believe that was me running so fast because they didn't realize pregnant women are actually really fast. It was an adrenaline rush like I've never experienced before. I think what it might be is that our defenses improve while we're pregnant as a natural mechanism to protect the baby. For example our ancestors used to need to run away from wild animals, especially to protect their little ones.
Have other people had similar experiences?
