The crusties are colostrum! I've heard not to mess with any crust/plugs because they're plugging your ducts for a reason.

Thanks! Didn't know I shouldn't mess with them. I've been picking at them.


Angel, I love the name Gracie. it's not like you're choosing the same name. Do you think your in-laws would care?
 
Have been having BH for about 10w. I sometimes find them painful.

I am sure she would care, and it is okay. We have some other names we like. I am thinking either McKinley or Kinsley as first name and Monroe as her middle name.

I don't know if I've been having BH contractions, but my stomach does feel like it's being really stretched sometimes and it feels sore when I get out of bed or if I get up from sitting in certain positions for certain periods of time. It also feels hard sometimes.

I'm totally with ya on this! I wonder if they are bh?
 
The best way I can describe BH is if your uterus is a stress ball. I get a light bit of tension for a few seconds, but then it relaxes back to normal. For awhile I was getting it mixed up with baby stretching, but then I realized she wasn't big enough to stretch against my WHOLE uterus. It even feels different than when she pushes out really hard or rolls over. If anything, it almost makes me feel nauseous, like your stomach on a roller coaster. Make sure you aren't getting RLP mixed up with braxton hicks! RLP to me feels like my entire abdomen is about to rip off my body and run away. If labor feels anything like those, no thanks!

Btw, Marin has moved out of my ribs and into my pelvis. I much prefer the ribs. However, for today, I do have a low, rounded bump, instead of a weird flattish protruding belly. It's so weird how my size and shape changes with how she's laying in there.

One thing that makes me nervous, is that when I poke her or rub my belly, she doesn't respond back. Is it because she's still too little for me to feel it, or should I start to worry? Her movements are definitely getting stronger, but not any more consistent, but I figure it's too early for that.

Ooh. I like McKinley Monroe, but im partial to McKinley as its my last name. My friend jokes I should name my kid Kinley MacKinley K.... The baby will have my DH's surname. I haven't changed mine yet. Still not sure if I plan to.

Welcome, Mayurid12!!
 
Dylan doesn't seem to have a pattern of movement yet either. I don't think it's anything to worry about if you are having movement on a fairly regular basis
 
My baby sometimes reacts to what I do. Yesterday was one of those days.

I was balancing a glass of iced water on my tummy when I got a swift kick where the glass was, it wasn't coincidence because every time i put the glass back on to my tummy another swift kick would follow. He/She was also up quite high on my right side last night and i was massaging my side when i got quite a few nudges in that area.
 
I've been a little worried about Liam's movements lately. I don't know if he's just sitting in there differently or what, but they seem to have gotten less frequent over the past few days and when they do happen I barely feel them. Is that normal to go from having really strong frequent kicks to very infrequent gentle ones?
 
I wouldn't worry kalon at this stage still there is a lot of room for movement. As long as you are feeling him move then i am sure all is ok.
 
I normally didnt feel any reaction to poking or anything until close to the end and even then i didnt get a reaction everytime.

As for movement, like Goddess said, as long as you are feeling movement thats all that really matters at this point.
 
I called my OB's nurse for just in case. She said that it can be normal for 27 weeks but that I should give her a call if I stop feeling him move altogether or if activity doesn't increase in the next few days.
 
Always better to check it out than not especially if your worried.
 
I have days where baby is less active than others too. I just tend to count the movements I do get (bit early, I know) and then leave it a day to see if they pick up. She usually starts moving more a day or two after reduced movements so I think it's when she's growing or has changed position slightly.

I am starting to notice a pattern in her already, and she does react to things I do. If I prod or push on my stomach she'll move over or kick and if I balance something on my stomach she tries to kick it off. I've noticed that she kicks more in a morning, is quiter in the afternoon and then goes mental around 8-10pm at night and also feel slight kicks during sleep so think she's a nocturnal baby :haha:

At my midwife appointment yesterday, she had a feel of my stomach and said she thinks she feels a head down there and that she usually struggles to feel it that defined at this stage at the moment(this was a trainee midwife in with me and my actual midwife) so that has increased my suspicions that this baby is bigger than my last :-s
 
He's been a bit more active today, so that makes me feel a lot better. I know that it's normal to have inactive days, but I was worried because this was nearly an entire week of activity reduced to the equivalent of when I first started feeling him move at 17+4.
