March 2013 babies - we all have our beautiful babies :)

[MissPiggy]

I'm at physio for lower back and pelvis pain. Will pass on beads of wisdom later I was told to get a gym ball so will have exercises with that

Yay im finally in double digits

Mrschezek - if i remember correctly were still a bit early for hiccups ( someone may disagree) i think its more lie 30 weeks they become noticable xx

I think it may all depend on the baby and the mom. I felt hiccups way before 30 weeks with all 3 pregnancies, but I had friends who didnt feel them until the third trimester and some who felt them at 20 weeks.. Some babies dont have hiccups at all. I think I have always started feeling them around 23ish weeks. I can feel hiccups this time around even with the anterior placenta, but kicks are still muffled. LOL so crazy

I think I felt hiccups last week for the first time! It was very strange. I was just chilling on the sofa watching tv and there was a regular movement. I usually get random movement which just happen whenever.

With what I think were hiccups it was a regular strong pulse about every 5 seconds and lasted about a minute! I couldn't feel it on the outside, just deep inside.

If it wasn't hiccups I've no idea what baby was doing!

Hope everyone is well.

Either that or he's dreaming haha

Anyone else experiencing numbness in lower abdomen? I was standing over the bathroom sink, flossing for about 20 minutes and noticed my lower tummy was numb. Had to lay down for 5 minutes to ease away

My first thought was - you floss for 20 minutes!!!! Darn your dentist must love you On a serious note, I haven't experienced numbness...just cramps that make my tummy rock hard and go away with change of position - these are Braxton Hicks...maybe they can feel like numbness?

I saw my chiropractor today and asked him about help for the pelvic pain and hip soreness. He said that its probably my hip joint screaming bloody murder from all the stretching. His suggestion was to get a tennis ball and put my weight on it in the spot that bugs me on and off for 2 seconds at a time...do 4-5 repetitions a couple times a day. He said that the muscles in my hip area were super tight - reacting to the stretching of the joint. And that the tight muscles could be pressing in on my nerves thus causing the pain and stuff. I'll try it and let you all know if it helps any. FX!

I also scheduled our gender confirmation scan for this Friday morning. I can't wait to see bean again!!!!! We upgraded to a package that also takes more pictures and we'll have a take home CD of those and 2 video clips. Figured it would make a nice souvenir. Yay!

That sounds like hiccups to me. They feel like rhythmic faint thumps deep down.

I love them because it gives me reassurance baby is practicing breathing. My OB says if something goes wrong in later months of pregnancy, the practicing breathing is the first thing they stop doing. So it always has calmed me to feel those little hiccups

That is good to know. Baby has been very quiet this morning. Odd thumps but nothing too wild. Until about 15 mins ago! Feeling all sorts of movement then the hiccups feeling again. This time they were about every 3 seconds. I almost burst out laughing and thought I had to come and read the updates from last night and post about them!

Hi all I am doing my Glucose Tolerance Test this morning... Just drank it and am have my blood drawn at 9am. It is making me super nauseated (which is no shocker as I am almost always still nauseated in the morning anyhow.) I had it done early in pregnancy because of weight and family history and things were fine... I am really nervous about the results though because a lot of people in my family have/had diabetes at an older age and I know my cousin had GD. I just want it to come back normal.

 

[baby_maybe]

Good luck Amy

 

[baby_bray]

AmyB1978- I hope the test goes well! Our hospital does them walk in between 24 and 28. I figured I'd go in 2-ish weeks around week 26...I'm really nervous about mine too...FX'd!

That's really interesting regarding the hiccups, I wish someone would've said that in my last pregnancy - my daughter was diagnosed with a potentially fatal problem at 26 weeks which included having lots of fluid around her lungs so we were concerned about her ability to breathe. But she had hiccups a LOT when I was pregnant, even during the last weeks before I delivered. She is fine now (trouble causing for a different reason!) but I didn't know the hiccups were a good sign in terms of their breathing.

Hiccups are supposed to be a good sign, or as I was told. My LO had them practically every day and even when we had the scan.

 

[MrsChezek]

Good luck Amy!!! Let us know how it goes I have mine in 3 weeks…not looking forward to that as sweet stuff always makes me queasy. Especially on an empty stomach!


I'm still not feeling any hiccups…I'll pay closer attention though. I just hope not feeling hiccups isn't a BAD sign!!!! I want my bean to be breathing well too...

 

[Amy_T]

Pretty sure no hiccups isn't a bad sign, I never felt them with my first and she was as fit as a fiddle, my second had them lots and wasnt (although her breathing was fine which wasnt expected!).

 

[MrsChezek]

Thanks Amy...that makes me feel better

 

[Mrs. AJ]

I never felt any hiccups the first time either, and Connor was born super healthy I don't know if having AP contributed to not feeling them or not...

Hope all goes well Amy. I have mine next week and I must admit that I am nervous about it too.

Good luck Amy, ive got to walk in to the hospital for mine one morning between 26-27w, luckily at my hospital you just have to eat a specific breakfast off the list and don't have to drink the sugary drink which I'm glad about but also a bit nervous as I keep thinking what if I do it wrong!!
