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.
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Starting TWW. Anyone else?

Trigger. Lost baby
Went in for my 20 week check up and found out our son had passed away. Nothing was wrong, my pregnancy has been going great. I'm so numb right now. I'll he delivering him later this week. I don't want to do this. I don't want to do this. Not before Christmas. How am I'm going to tell my kids?? My dear sweet baby boy. Why did this happen?
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.
