May 2013 Babies

Hi MMM - I had those aches a couple of days ago. I think it's just round ligament pain and the uterus stretching. It's not quite crampy... just a tight achy feeling. I know it's hard not to worry, but no cramping and no bleeding is a good sign. I think our bodies are just stretching and getting everything ready so our little ones can snuggle in there for 30ish more weeks!

Oh and I don't like spiders, but I'll take them over bees! I'm not allergic to them or anything... I just have an irrational fear of bees!

belly buttons and eye balls and ducks for me.... urghhhhhh...

belly buttons and eye balls and ducks for me.... urghhhhhh...

Are you scared of your own belly button? Cos you're going to have a problem when your belly gets big if you are!

 

[padbrat]

Hell Ya Tour! Belly buttons make me feel urghhh..... never even look at mine...
urghh I remember when my niece was born and it was like a little black stalk that dropped off...

Urghhhhhh

Sorry I've been MIA ladies!!

From my personal experience, the pains you are all feeling are completely normal!!! I had these with my first and second pregnancy... When you get into the second these pains maybe become more painful... They did for me. When I was in third it wasn't any worse just uncomfortable and big belly lol but when my daughter was born everything bad turned into good and I don't even think about it anymore! I know there is much worry but please know its normal... Even those who have some spotting. I had a successful pregnancy with spotting throughout first trimester so don't worry. If doctors say you are fine and so is baby, try not to think about the spotting as much. I even had red blood too but my daughter was a okay... Just turned 2 lol

I hope this helps reassure some ladies and trust me I have to tell myself these same words because sometimes I freak out even though I've been through it. Every pregnancy is new.
Oh and if anyone gets pain around belly button don't worry because that also happened to me alot and actually didn't stop until close to delivery so about 38 weeks for me.

Have a great weekend lovely ladies and welcome sparkle!! Congrats on your rainbow baby

 

[MizzPodd]

Oh also I am terrified of spiders too!!! Ahhhhhhhh! Lol

 

[Tournesol]

Hell Ya Tour! Belly buttons make me feel urghhh..... never even look at mine...

Urghhhhhh

What are you going to do when your baby's belly button goes black and drops off?! You'd better get OH the be on belly button duty!

I just looked it up and it's an actual phobia. Omphalophobia (you probably know that already!) I'm sorry I laughed, that's quite serious actually!

 

[padbrat]

Oooo Tour I hadn't even thought of that.... yes... that will be a Hubby duty...

I had no idea it was a proper phobia! OMG... I am diagnosed! It actually makes me feel sick.. my Hubby used to stick his finger in his bellybutton to freak me out... until I actually had the screaming habdabs at him...

.... he doesn't do that anymore... lol

 

[MizzPodd]

I had my hubby clean her belly button until it fell off because it was so scary to me... I'm not scared of belly buttons but the thought of picking up the umbilical cord piece from different angles to clean it scared me so much so hubby did it. Hers fell off quickly but it was so scary because I was afraid of ripping it or hurting her or something. The doctors said that she doesn't even feel it but I was still a chicken

 

[sparkles86]

Thanks for the welcomes!

Talking of spiders, they dont bother me one bit, I have to get them out for my boyfriend though! wimp

 

[manuiti]

Oh Pad please tell me about your duck phobia. What is it that you don't like? And is it all types of ducks? What about ducklings?

I get the belly buttons & eyeballs but ducks is a totally new one for me.

 

[Tournesol]

Yeah, do you just have a fear of ducks in general (which I can't find a name for) or do you have Anatidaephobia, a fear that somewhere, somehow, a duck is always watching you?
We should start a new phobia thread!

 

[padbrat]

OMG Manu and Tour... I was laughing my head off.... somewhere .. some how... a duck is always watching... mwahahaa

It is their little beady eyes... their waddling... their pecky beaks... funnily enough chicken don't bother me...

Don't get me wrong i would never want harm to come to any duck .... so wouldn't kick them to get away from them.. but ... urghhh they give me the ibee geebys...

I know exactly where this fear came from... is no surprise to me.

 

[Tournesol]

Hahaha! I know, it's so funny! I'm sure it's less funny if you're actually convinced that somehow, somewhere a duck is always watching you, but hey!

Aww, I love ducks, they're so cute and funny. I've always waned to have a garden big enough for a duck pond. I used to have chickens, but they were a nightmare. They used to run at me for food whenever I went in the the garden and they used to peck my toes if I was wearing sandals.

 

[manuiti]

somewhere, somehow, a duck is always watching you?

Omg that is hilarious!!! Though like you say Tour, not so funny if it actually affects you. Must be a hard one to deal with because any time you open up to someone, you must be able to tell that they're desperately trying not to laugh.

I know exactly where this fear came from... is no surprise to me.

I'm guessing a bad childhood experience of some sort?

 

[padbrat]

Yea Manu... as I kid I went to a pond with bread and got mobbed by the bloody things... only cos I am so small I wasn't much taller than them... screamed for hours after my Dad plucked me outta their midst...

*shudders...

Ducks... always watching you...

 

[manuiti]

That does actually sound quite scary. No wonder you don't like them!

Ducks... always watching you...
