Baby movements freaking me out

I just started feeling the baby move a few days ago--I'm sure it's been moving before, but there was so much going on in my GI system that I'm sure I mistook it for gas or vomit. Now it feels like some serious thunking going on in there. It's kind of wigging me out! Like there's something trapped in there trying to get out. I hung up our one set of baby clothes in the living room to remind myself that it will be a cute baby that will wear adorable clothes, but still...anyone else a little freaked by all the banging around in there? 

Ugh- the dreaded reason I was scared to have a boy

I officially have a boy fetus which means I'll have to discuss circumcision with my husband and inlaws.  A while ago when I brought it up to my husband he seemed to agree with me.  Now that there is an actual baby foreskin in the picture he seemed unsure.  I feel pretty strongly against it( for my son.... Although I would council against it it is your choice to make that decision for your son and I wouldn't crucify you for it) gah!  This is not something I want to worry about.  

Best day ever!

Hit 20 weeks FINALLY so it's all downhill from here, and brought this little one home!

Books about birth & newborns?

Has anybody read any books that were actually helpful/insightful? I've been pretty unimpressed with most literature on childbirth. I'd love to read something that leaves room for free thought. :)

An ode to lorazepam

Lorezepam..... Oh lorazepam.... How I miss your balm.  You and fetuses don't mix well so I shall have to trudge through meltdowns alone.  At least for me pregnancy emotional outbursts are quick to pass.  10 minutes of crying then I feel ok.  Not sure what I'd do with a full blown anxiety attack. 😳

Group info

Where can I find info for this group and what it's about? This app really didn't think things through! LOL! All I can see is "free thinking people with re..."

Tips on dealing with conservative MIL...or any family?

I was so happy when I found this group! Didn't think there was a group I actually belonged in. Any ways, since all of you I'm sure have to deal with family about religion (or any social matters) with your new baby, any advice? 

2nd trimester complaints

My tailbone has days where it aches and now today my belly button is a bit sore. If my nipples wore makeup they would need at least 2 shades darker than they did 4 months ago.  It's a really pretty color in my opinion. I finally felt brave enough to ask for some downstairs attention from my hubby and later asked how it was looking.  Lol.  He said things look a bit different.  

Finally better!!!!

It has been over a week since ive had to take any medicine!!!! Still throw up occasionally but its a million times better!!!! Finally can eat meals that consist of more than crackers!!!! Im 13 weeks 4 days, had to "redo" a week i guess the secind scan was still behind so they changed my due date to oct 16

I would think....

Something this big wiggling and moving around in my uterus would be obviously felt. I know it can take as long as 20+ weeks to feel it. I am impatient.  I borrowed a stethoscope to maybe hear movement but all I hear is digestion.  I did pass gas and that was very loud with a stethoscope.  No wonder they say that can startle a fetus in utero.   Lol.  

Your other babies!

Can we share pics of our other babies?This is The Princess Brandon Dubinsky Wobbles. She is seven. She likes to play fetch and to drool when she's happy. I cant tell if she's excited about the baby, because she's just a cat and she won't use her words. 

Introduction

Hi, ladies. I'm a long-time lurker, and I figured I should introduce myself.First time mom, due in September. 19 weeks this Sunday. Begrudging user of acronyms. Mamma to two kitties. Married a little over a year. I'm also 35, and reminded of my age everytime I see my doctor or walk into a medical facility. I never know how to end these things.

Baby names

What names are you mulling around in your heads?

ARGH!!

In the October group, a woman posted about deciding to terminate her pregnancy after getting the results of her genetic testing. She is asking for support/what she should expect from the procedure. Most of the comments are really very supportive, but one commenter had to add her two cents by saying "Do you believe in miracles? Don't give up hope!"I am just so enraged by this comment because I'm sure it was a very difficult decision to terminate the pregnancy, and if I had to make that decision and someone told me there was a chance for hope, it would send me into a tailspin! I really want to comment that this commenter isn't being helpful. Rather than start an internet flame war, however, I'm venting my frustration here. Thanks for listening!

We finally announced!!

Ive always called my husband punkin so our baby comin in october makes it work even better! The picture is from our 12 week hiking trip, i love the look on my hunnys face :)

Still sick :(((

I am offically in my second trimester!!!! And still horribly sick! I have just come to except i am going to throw up no matter what i do! It has not gotten any better.... i would almost say worse.... the dr never answers the phone for me to ask what to do and ive now lost about 8 pounds total and worried fetus isnt getting what it needs i just give up! Fetus is deffinity going to be an only child!! Lol

Happy zombie Jesus day! Or Eostra. You pregnant ladies you.

For myself and those of you that have to go to religious family members houses today STAY STRONG!  And polite.  We need our family even if we don't agree with them.  ( I'm not preaching so much as giving myself an encouraging talk). Good luck today!!
