can anyone explain a contraction? Ive had braxton hicks but this is completely different. its like a sharp pain but its under my ribs. it literally takes my breath away. itll last about 20 seconds then come back a few minutes later.
@mommakate1, that may be what it was because the minute i got up and started walking around it almost completely stopped. but that crap hurt super bad!
I talked all through my contractions sooo that isn't always the case. I know in my last few weeks my baby had her foot in my ribs so if I mad a weriod movement I would feel it and it felt horrible
thanks @zaysmomma i think it may have been movement. it hasnt came back but ill see what my doctor says about it in the morning
It'll be to the point where u have to stop and literally just breathe
i think it may have been movement @kimberkatherine it stopped for now. i have an appointment in the morning so hopefully she will at least hold off until then lol
It could be really bad gas. My doctor has told me pains and movement that are closer to or around the ribs could be really bad pain from gas. I hope it goes away, momma! But it could be contractions starting, I'd call L&D and ask. Because some women don't feel contractions so strongly that they can't speak until they're fully going into labor. When they first start out, the pain may not be as intense.
@sweetheart1102, i can move and talk so i guessthis isn't a contraction lol
my Dr said of you can't move or talk it's a contraction
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...
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?
Starting TWW. Anyone else?
I had a stillborn daughter at 38 weeks this passed Nov. This is my second month ttc. (Last month we only tried for like two weeks though). My last and only pregnancy, I got pregnant the first month of ttc so I hope it's quick this time again.

My sweet baby girl gained her angel wings this morning. She was my best friend, my true love my everything. She was so happy and beautiful, I'm struggling to say good bye. Sleep tight princess, mummy and daddy love you very very much ❤️
