My poppop had charlie horses when he was still alive. My aunt read somewhere that if you put a bat of soap under the bedsheets down by the legs it helps prevent them. So she did for my poppop. It helped! Noooooo scientific evidence at all.
So, in addition to fluids and potassium I put soap under my sheets. The OB and I got a good laugh about it. But so far so good!
People say "oh you will know" about hiccups but this baby had them during my last ultrasound and I could see it but I couldn't feel anything. So I don't think that's true lol
What do babies hiccups feel like? I've googled and can't find anything pretty sure my brain is just skipping over it somewhere.
Just this week I felt them the strongest I ever have had with either of my pregnancies. It was just a really rhythmatic bumping of my stomach just kind of like, constant kicks but like every two seconds and I could feel a lot of my stomach jumping.
My SS- so earlier this week I freaked out after standing up and my H seeing a water spot under me (which was determined to be something random toddler spill related). Yesterday I was alone with DS and after standing up from changing his diaper I noticed my pants were wet and started silently panicking again. Further inspection of the bathroom after I got him down for his nap showed a flattened baby wipe where I was sitting.
I keep waking up in the middle of the night with a sore rib cage. I have since convinced myself that this means I'm accidentally sleeping too hard on my side/stomach and I'm squishing my baby. I told this to DH this morning and he just smiled. He thinks I'm a SS too.
I can't tell the difference between kicks and hiccups either.
Last night I rolled over and she was really heavy and it actually hurt...like she just shifted with me. I spent more time making sure to prop my belly up every time I rolled over than actually sleeping after that!
I've felt hiccups once - a rhythmic kicking session where I am 98% sure his head is. They were evenly spaced and not as strong as his slightly spastic kicking.
I actually emailed my doctor to confirm that flea bites aren't going to hurt the baby. Oof. As soon as I hit send I regretted it.
Even though the dr's office has informed me twice that everything is normal with the recent development of having brown discharge (sorry for the TMI), I am still freaked out and made the number #1 mistake of consulting Dr. Google. Let's just say - my husband is a very patient man hahahaha.
My ss crazy thought- I imagine baby's little nails scratching me through the inside and it creeps me out what it will feel like. (Extra special cause this is my 3rd and amniotic sack, hellooooo!)
Yesterday, about the time my DH comes home from work, I heard a bunch of sirens, and spent 30 seconds thinking he'd been in a car accident, died, and I was going to have to raise LO by myself. Then I realized I was being a crazy person, and he got home, so I guess it was just hormones or overactive imagination.
I was eating my oatmeal with blueberries this morning and looked down into the bowl and noticed the milk had settled into many of the blueberry tops so that it looked like there were little stars in my bowl. I showed it to DH and he said, "Awwwww.... special snowflakes! Just for you!"
It's my first time making it past 30 weeks, 31 now and you would think I have never been pregnant before lol. All the third tri speshel thoughts over here.

My sister and I were 32 weekers (identical twins) so even though I am only having one, I am convinced she will come early and I feel like I am going to be white knuckling to get to at least 33. Even though I have had nary a symptom or reason for concern.

Can I take this opportunity to ask a (not quite exactly baby related) stupid question? I know we have a thread for that but I can't remember when it is.
Is toddler bedding made to fit a crib mattress?
I know it's probably a very dumb question. Lol but my dad is making a toddler bed for DS and I realized that I'll have to buy him sheets and a comforter and whatnot for the bed but now I'm confused about measurements and sizes. Lol sorry y'all. But I appreciate any answers!
I've been noticing hiccups over the last week and a half or so. I would describe it as a repetitive movement in the same spot that happens every few seconds apart. Poor baby girl had them 4 times yesterday!!
I think this one takes the cake. I went to bed with some pains in my sternum. I took pepcid AC just in case, but it felt nothing like heart burn. Fast forward two hours later. It felt like someone was ripping apart my sternum. I couldn't breathe and totally called L&D. They told me to go into the ER to get checked just in case since I was so short of breath and starting to get massive headaches. Long story short and many tests later the Emergency room doctor told me it was just heart burn. It can feel differently I guess. Talk about feeling like a SS. Glad I got checked though. I guess it could've been my gallbladder.
Don't feel too bad. I had heartburn like this the other day where it was hard to breathe and I strongly considered doing the same. If I hadn't been working out of town, I might have been in the same boat as you. I feel like my life is a constant SS moment these days. I have no idea what I'm so worried about all of the time when there's been no real cause for concern the entire pregnancy.
pghtruelove I think I've felt hiccups twice. Both times I've felt kicking up by my ribs so I know it wasn't that. It felt like internal slight twitches down in my pelvis but like people have said it's very rhythmic so different from regular kicks/movement.
stcyct I also have those fears of a stillbirth. Especially in the morning when I wake up at 5 (I think Baby is usually still sleeping) and don't feel any movements. I'll usually sit forward to eat breakfast and I think that makes Baby a little cramped (total SS thought) and want to move. I breathe a sigh of relief when I finally feel movement.
I just want to take a day off from physically being me. I've been sick for over a week, and DS is sick and teething. Last night, he woke up and bawled if he wasn't in physical contact with me. I need personal space and sleep and a quiet stomach and a respiratory system that doesn't go "OH NOES! IT'S SPRING! IT'S THE END OF ALL THINGS!" I would happily spend all day with DS on my day off from physically being me, doing all my usual chores, only without the "I'm going to be this exhausted for the next 2 years" feeling of despair.

I got a sharp ripping pain in my belly button from rolling awkwardly for a 2nd time. I have anterior placenta. For a moment I convinced myself that I had ripped my placenta apart.

Yes a toddler bed fits a crib mattress and crib sheets. The only difference is toddler beds usually have a detachable side guard rail so they don't fall out of bed at night.
Some people just skip a toddler bed all together and go from crib to twin bed because you can also buy detachable guardrails for a twin bed. But it's up to individual preference

I was sitting on the couch and dropped a skittle. I leaned forward to pick it off the ground and couldn't reach it. It felt like I was squishing the baby. SS thoughts have me convinced I hurt the baby.

I've been waking up flat on my back and I'm always convinced that I've hurt or killed him or something. Then I try to jiggle him around until he moves somehow. Also, two weeks ago was spring break so I was pretty relaxed and did little all week so little dude was really active all week. Being back to work this week, I was convinced something was wrong because he moved less.
