Ladies, you know when you go to the gyno and they poke around in there and it's kind of uncomfortable because... well... someone's poking around in there? Ok, well take that feeling minus the stirrups, instruments, and gyno and you have BABY MOVING!!
I just started my 6th month (I KNOW!!!) and the baby really likes to dance around in my uterus and punch me in the cervix. About 3 or 4 times during the night/early morning I am awoken by the restless little swimmer. Uh OH!! Takes after the momma... whoops!! We have a night owl...
After I wake up there's a game I play for 30 -90 minutes of HOW DO I GET COMFY?? Being a belly sleeper I've had to learn to sleep on my side. RBM. I need to invest in a body pillow and a better matress topper because my hips ache in the morning and my legs fall asleep... another rbm.
OK... enough bitching... THE most wonderful thing about feeling the baby move is the connection I am starting to make. When I feel it moving about I place my hands firm on my belly and it seems to have a calming effect. AND... Jacob felt it moving the other day... almost threw me in tears.
I can't wait for you to feel it.
IT = HIM/HER... HE/SHE...
IT = non-gender specific... although I've had 2 dreams now where it's a boy.
Prenatal yoga starts next week!! I'm so excited. The walking has diminished due to the weather... sad, but true. Must take it indoors now. Plus, yoga will help during the birth. Gotta stay relaxed and loose.

Getting used to sleeping on your side is the worst!! RBM, T!!. I've now resorted to a nest of pillows, there is barely any room for Eddie in the bed, luckily he is such a good sport! Try one wedged under your tushy and one next to your chest to rest your arm on.
Pretty soon, you'll be able to watch your baby move, it makes for excellent entertainment. I'm now in my 38th week, and she's running out of room, she head-butts my pelvis and tickles my ribs with her toes, she also gets the hiccups!!

nest of pillows indeed. I had to have a real thick body pillow that i could swing my leg over and my arm. if i positioned just right (with a little support under my belly and arm) and ethan had to be right up against my back. Then i could be just close enough to being on my tummy to get comfy. Good luck finding the magic spot of comfort. Once you find it, it can be very relaxing. Neela was an expert star fish inside - just spread in every direction. Elliott rolled a lot. And Roland was a kicker - right up under my ribs.
thanks ladies!!! i went out and bought a memory foam topper for the bed AND a body pillow... wow, what a difference!
