One of the new thread ideas that came up this week was to have a post over the weekend that shared all of our SS thoughts about our pregnancies that we've been too afraid to share with the group. Hopefully we'll be able to laugh at ourselves!!
I'll go first. Someone posted in the 'what's pissing you off about TD' thread about a mom who thought her baby was having in utero seizures based on movement patterns.
I have had this thought in the last two weeks! Little boy is crazy sometimes and it makes me nervous! yes. being too active makes me nervous.

Ok. your turn!
I've had that thought too when I feel these weird shuddering movements but then I think this is not an episode of House and tell myself to chill.

Just woke up from a horrible nightmare that something happened to little girl. She moving around like normal right now but I'm terrified something is wrong with Her. Because of a dream....
I posted in tmi about my uncomfortable sexual encounter with DH last night. I was in so much pain I was scared for at least two hours afterwards that we had hurt her!! My stomach got all hard and she didn't move right off the bat. If it was a Braxton hicks it was weird because I have been having those since about 18 weeks and those bitches are painful for me. There was no pain like that just kind of like I pulled something. I couldn't fall asleep until after she had been moving for awhile.

On my last growth appointment (Thursday) we saw hair on LO head on the backside but LO did not turn so we could see the other side! I panicked and thought about how hot it was going to be outside to wear hats, and I can't shield him from judgment if he only has hair on the back and bald in the front!
My 9-month old came out 11lbs 2oz and from the time he was born until now I hear how big he is and will he be a line backer when he plays football. I just don't want my kids feelings hurt once they can understand what people are saying! I'm such a worry wart.

We were cleaning last night and DH was vacuuming. He had detached the tube part to clean a few rugs and because I had something on my shirt, he put the sucking tube on my stomach to mess with me and try and get it off. I legit said 'Stop, that might hurt him'. Because yeah, the baby could obviously be sucked out through my belly button with a vacuum. I mean, I knew it wasn't hurting him, but I said it and now DH won't let me forget it.

I told this to my doctor yesterday and it made her laugh so I'll share it here too.
My first had hiccups in the womb ALL the time. Super hiccupy baby. Continued after he was born for a while too. Well it's started with this one too. Usually at least 3 times a day. The other day I tried to "scare" the baby to get the hiccups to stop. Didn't work.
My bump is always smaller in the morning so I worry that I'm dehydrated or have oligohydramnios. It definitely gets better/bigger mid day.
Every morning I wake up and touch my bump. While doing this I also think, "omgsh my bump is so small...I must have done something to him/her" then I get up to go to bathroom and low and behold, bump comes out from hiding. Idk where the kid goes at night, but apparently LO likes to make me a SS in the morning.

Lol omg I totally did that last night!! DH actually felt her hiccuping. It lasted for like 45 min and was cute at first then just kind of annoying. Lol. But ya I tried to scare her to get it to stop too.

I went for a pamper and had a massage . They prepared the pregnancy pillow so i could lie face down for a back massage. I was super comfy and it was amazing. Then later that night I started freaking out like a SS that some how I squished my baby.

I had this loads about a week ago - it was like the baby was vibrating. Apparently it's normal (asked at my midwife appointment)...
I had one the other day where I woke up on my back and was near tears willing her to move because I thought I squished her (my arms was numb so I must have been there for a while) and then she did. I told DH about it and he woke me up when I was on my back the other day "just don't want you to freak out!"
My last ultrasound the tech said she was new and I don't know if this played a part. She took a couple of 3d shots of the face and they just didn't turn out good to me. I have found myself staring at them and wondering if their is something that didn't develop right that we can't tell because of her new us tech abilities. It may not be her at all because I Googled (yep sure did) and supposedly 3d us pics can not be as accurate if you are on the thicker side (which I am)
I actually have thought most of these things everyone has posted.
Oan: my DH is most definitely a SS. We are a very touchy feely couple (well we were lol) I cannot get a proper from the front hug from him anymore without him backing away (only at the bottom) and saying: Don't press on him! He gives me this crazy look like I have tried to really harm my child. Lol Also, he IS that husband that is actually scared that something will happen if we have sex. I will give him a break because I was on pelvic rest at the very beginning from an SCH but I've been off of it and we've only had sex maybe 10 times (maybe) . It's kind of sweet because he says , " I know how long you've waited for this and if something happens I could never forgive myself" awww, but I want sex dammit.
I'm late to the party but my mucous plug came out this morning and I immediately went into SS mode and was like 'ahhhhhhh the babies coming' before remembering that DH and I had sex a couple times this weekend which probably irritated my cervix enough to knock out my mucous plug.

fuccimama I don't think you are out of line at all for feeling this way. I really hate when people say stupid, obnoxious, generic things like that. They do it to us while we are pregnant and then it continues onto our children. I know some people are just trying to be friendly and are looking for something to say, but really, don't say something so thoughtless and dumb!!! People need to learn to take Imodium AD for their diarrhea of the mouth. Kids will take those small comments to heart sometimes and small as they may be (the comments) they can have a big impact on self image and self esteem.

Ugh, I keep sleeping on my back. And every time it makes me feel paranoid and then I'm so happy when the baby moves. It's probably for only 25% of the night at the most, but I can't seem to stop... And I'm still really comfortable that way!

I sleep on my back all the time, it is still comfortable to me....oops?
Everytime I take a poop I think three things:
1. OH CRAP! I am squishing the baby all because I can't get this poop out, I hope baby's head, legs, and arms come out normal shaped. 2. OMG I am going to go into labor! with all this pushing baby is surely to get confused! 3. I can't even poop efficiently, how am I suppose to push out this baby when labor comes?!
Then, I laugh at myself. Really, I think, you will be fine Jen. You are just taking a dump, relax!

I think I'm more comfortable that way, too. My hips keep going numb on my side (or my ears, since apparently I press into my pillow) so I know Iikely roll onto my back to alleviate the numbness/soreness!

My guess is we'll both have wonderful healthy babies and then we can re-assure others in the future that back sleeping really isn't the worst thing in the world

You guys know the back sleeping has nothing to do with the baby's health right? It's about ensuring you don't end up unconscious due to lack of blood flow because of the weight on your IVC.

I do this too but if you are worried try putting a pillow behind your back when you start out on your side at night. Then if you roll to your back you won't be completely flat and it's pretty comfy!
billyhorrible, I was told it can constrict blood flow to baby, too...
I was told that, too. Untrue?
Not enough to cause any sort of damage to the baby. Think about it, you've heard of women in comas being pregnant/carrying babies right? If they spend 24 hours a day on their back and don't kill the baby, why do you think several hours a night would be an issue?

I second billyhorrible. As long as I'm comfortable then I know it cannot be bad health wise. I sleep at least a third of the night on my back and the rest of the time on either sides. Just listening to my body cues. I was even on my back for my 45-minute facial and I lived to tell the tale.
Valid points. I think I know my fear was irrational - my irrational side definitely comes out in the middle of the night. I also woke up one night last week and smacked my H because he was flirting with Eva Mendes in my dream, so...
