Hi mommy rabbit,

I felt the same thing esp during evenings and early mornings. It happened on my left and when i went for a scan, indeed BB boy's legs were there.
:) got Hubby to feel it and he got excited too. Amazing indeed!

Actually I also never say I felt baby kicking... he just tell me... make sure baby kick everyday... I was like... @@ orh... I might be wrong, but... when baby start kicking, you will feel it kick from that day onwards... no? Cos that what happened to me... felt the naughty boy kicking me once and a few times on the same day... then subsequently felt his kick daily liao... almost at the same time esp. during weekday (reminder for Mummy to go lunch aka shopping time, reminder mummy to go finish work faster then can bring him go home rest, sometime will kick mummy to wake up cos morning... more accurate than my alarm clock... sometimes I wonder how he know the time...)

May u stay still too long. When you move around, bb felt like water bed. So bb wake up to kick you to to ask you move around so that bb can go back sleep.
 
Actually all these emo happened last night when I was watching a TV show and pregnant woman had difficulty in labor. That scares me and the previous m/c experiences that I had emerged from my mind and started to feel very sad and emotional the whole night. The whole night I was in stated of sadness, so worried that I will go into depression. I fell asleep when tiredness from crying kicks in. Strangely, when I was feeling very emo, my bb keep kicking me that whole night, as if she is telling me not to worry and telling me we will be fine. Maybe it is just my imagination. I hope my emo last night won't affect my bb too much. Perhaps I should go speak to my gynea and get some assurance first before my detailed scan two weeks later. Perhaps I am just over-reacting and worry too much. Silly me.....

I too am feeling emo at the slightest trigger and well, it is pretty normal isn't it?

Try not to think so much and believe that everything will be fine. It might not be easy, as I am guilty of negative thinking all too often as well but as you said, your baby is kicking you to remind you that she is alright and everything will be fine.

I have been avoiding shows that will feed into my negativity actually, like the show about new born babies struggling with medical conditions. It made me think about if anything will happen to my baby as well, Because even after all the tests, it might not tell everything about if the baby will be healthy.

My husband has been trying to get me to think more positive, and I am worried my thinking will affect the baby as well.. We just have to trust that everything will be all right.
 
sorry ladies. some side track here.

can ask something about bowel movement? and sorry in advance for TMI . :oops: i do go to toilet everyday to clear my bowels but these 2 days the amount seems to be lesser than usual. Is it a sign of constipation again? the output is not hard , just like normal output 'quality' . i drink tons of water and do make sure i take fruits and veg everyday .

im just hoping it's not constipation again :(

So it is normal for pregnant woman like us to feel emo once a while. Maybe because I am the gan jiong type of person and wants to get things do quickly and this contributes to my anxiety previously. Then I start to worry that I don't know how to handle my bb when she is born. I think I worry and overthink too much.

I have been trying to relax myself for the past few months and tell myself that things will fall in place eventually. I hope I am not having an depression. My hubby just told me that I think too much. He has assured me that he will help me throughout. *deep breathe*..... and relax.....

Hi DesperateMummyWannabe,

I have the same problem also. You need to drink more water and eat more fruits. I find dragonfruits are good for me.

Or maybe you can try cranberry or prune juice? Another of my pregnant friend told me she took these two when she has constipation problems. I usually take apples everyday and dragonfruits (once every 3 days).

Thanks. Yah, I am trying to get over and do dwell too much. My detailed scan is two week later and I guess I am anxious to see my bb and know that she is growing okie.

I worry everyday now and hope to feel her kick everyday so that I know she is doing well.

Good that your check is cleared.... now you can start doing shopping.... :)

eating more carbohydrates like rice or bread also helps i feel in addition to water and fruits intake.

Yours is a baby boy? Maybe there is why ur hubby is so excited. He can decorate the room accordingly to his favourite football team or characters etc.....

Mine is a baby girl and my hubby wanted to get Star Wars items! He said Star Wars got Princess Leia, suitable for girls too! *Alamak*...... I told him bb girl should like "Hello Kitty" more than "Star War"..... If mine is a boy, he would sure decorate bb's room with lots of bat-man character! *shake head*.... hahaha!

I like the white ones, so I only take the white one. Think both should be the same???? But I dun eat them everyday, I rotate different fruits every day..... Like Monday - apples, Tues - oranges, Wed - dragonfruits, etc.

I am starting not to like this... =X imagine one day shopping hubby see spiderman diaper bag... i think we are in the same boat, @Faith&Hope0902... hoping not to see any spiderman diaper bag until baby is toilet trained...
Click to expand...

Haha! Yah, I think so.... our hubbies behave quite similar..... My hubby disagrees with my diaper bag and said it is too "girly" for him.... so he want something "customised" to his liking..... so his search online is either Star Wars or Batman! Hahaha!

I am up to no good now... oops =X perhaps we can make use of this situation to our advantage... =X Tell hubby... u want star wars or batman diaper bag? can! as long as we are out, anything that got to do with diaper, such as diaper changiing etc, all settle by him alone... mummy will continue shopping =X OK I know... I sound bad...
 
actually its good to let hubby choose the design of the diaper bag if he has any preference. Anyway if go out together he will be the one who is carrying the diaper bag :D

previously for my #1, he didnt like the girly colour of my bag so i bought another diaper bag for him to carry when we go out together. When he isnt out with us then I will carry my own diaper bag. hehehe

if u choose a girly colour end up wait ur hubby might say he doesnt want to carry the diaper bag coz it looks too girly for him to carry :D

is it heavy ?

My first diaper bag was from Eddie Bauer. But I find the bag too heavy (ie. even when it was empty it already felt heavy) and hubby didnt like the design. so later I changed to LeSportsac & Kipling because the material is sturdy yet light weight.

My diaper bag for hubby was from LeSportsac - Ryan Baby bag. I chose the Zoo cute print because it feels cute enough to me and I told hubby it is dark blue based colour so he can carry it too. :D

I also use the LeSportsac Voyager Backpack. Can store lots of things, yet light weight and keep my hands free when I am out. The design of the Voyager Backpack looks like the picture below. Mine is a different print though :D
