Hey ya'll. Last night I had a bit of a scare. My kids were wrestling around and I got kicked in my belly. I'm 21 weeks today. I called my doc and she said that I should monitor it and doesn't think it caused any damage to the placenta or the baby. Well, this morning I had spotting and called my doc and she advised me to go to the hospital and I did immediately. There they listened to the heart beat and everything looked ok. What I'm having a problem with is the way the doctor measured the fundal height. She took her hand (in a karate chop position) and started pushing it in until she felt the placenta. It was kinda hard and I wasn't even completely lying down. Is that normal? I looked it up and they don't say that's how it's done. Any feedback is greatly appreciated. I've had a horrible couple of days and it doesn't seem to get better. I'm so worried about something hurting/damaging the baby

That's how they've always checked my fundal height. If you're worried about her method, it's not harmful to you or baby. Uncomfortable maybe, but baby is pretty well protected. Hope this helps.
lately I can only sleep when I'm on my back. I hope I'm not damaging anything. it doesn't hurt or anything. got any info anyone?
What is your child calling their grandparents? My mom doesn't like "grandma" so I'm looking for suggestions lol
Racial nickname
I sometimes call my lo monkey. To me he looks like a little monkey. My so says it's racist and offensive. What do you think?
Ashlynn vicki-jean born May 1,2016 at 10:40am. 6lbs 3oz and 18 in long!! She is so perfect. I had been leaking water since about 6:15am! Called my mom and she said it was my water breaking. I thought I peed myself. My sister brought me to the hospital and sure enough my waters broke. They prepped me for my C-section and she is finally here! I'm so in love. She looks just like her sister!
So I am new on here. So hello everyone :) I'm on my third baby girl and had my group B strep test yesterday....now with my previous pregnancies I was seeing a different doctor and just switched with this pregnancy at 24 weeks. My old doc just swabbed the outside of my bottom....this doc just shoved it in full force. I had bloody stool afterwards and today a hemorrhoid sticking out. TMI I know...so I called the doc and he said the swab is too little to do any damage but damn....it did something.....
Thank you, it does. I appreciate you letting me know. I think my nerves have been on overdrive these past few days and I'm overthinking it.
