August 2017 Moms — The Bump

Feeling fat not pregnant

Vickers224 — Fri, 17 Mar 2017 16:19:19 +0000

I'm a small to begin with pre pregnancy. I weighed 100 lbs. now at 17 weeks I already gained 9.5 lbs and feel fat. Like all my insides got pushed up and out. My "bump" feels higher in my abdomen than lower in my pelvis. It looks round but feels soft and flabby. Anyone else have a bump that's soft not hard?

Let's see some unpopular opinions ladies!

rude people!

Vickers224 — Fri, 17 Mar 2017 16:48:51 +0000

Some people I've encountered on this site have been just down right rude and nasty. I don't understand it. In my opinion no question is a stupid one and if you have nothing nice to say, don't comment! Simple as that! Why would you want to tear each other down instead of support one another! I haven't posted on this app in a while and now I'm reminded why I didn't. Cuz some of the responses I read are just so down right mean. People should be ashamed of themselves

Newborns at weddings

tova24 — Tue, 07 Mar 2017 01:54:29 +0000

So I am due in the beginning of August and my sister is getting married in October. Today she told me that I am not allowed to bring my baby to the wedding and that I will have to find a sitter. Is it right for me to be upset for her requesting this?
Background info: wedding is in Chicago and I live in Dallas. She wants me to find a sitter in a city I don't even live in. Also, I'm one of her bridesmaids so I have to go. Lastly, I am pregnant and single so I won't have a plus one to help me with my soon to be infant at the wedding.

Jack and Rebecca - her “send off” to go on tour, do you think Jack regretted letting her go?

Kevin - What do you think he’ll do now that he has an offer on the table for a movie?

William’s FUN-eral - what’d you think of Tess and Annie’s execution? Beth’s eulogy?

Randall - Quit!

Randall’s dream - why do you think Jack was “young” and William was present day? Does that shed light on Jack’s age when he passed?

Kate - She’s the “reason” Jack died. What’s you prediction of how it plays out from here?

Baby boy names?

Mama_Sass — Thu, 09 Mar 2017 11:42:03 +0000

I recently found out we are having another boy. We are so lost when it comes to boy names. My other two boys are Gavin and Logan, I'd like to keep the name ending with the letter N just like his brothers. His middle name will more than likely be Joseph.

Any suggestions to help us? Thank you so much in advance.

Baby movements

How does it feel to you when the baby moves for the first time? Im a first time mom and I believe I'm starting to feel the baby move. People said it feels like little butterflies. These don't feel like butterflies. It's hard to describe. I just know i feel a little pressure in one area, sometimes a knocking feeling. I am 15 weeks and 1 day.

The Bachelor: Overnight dates and Women Tell All

maebee87 — Tue, 07 Mar 2017 19:47:43 +0000

Well, was anyone else fast-forwarding Rachel's date knowing this girl is the bachelorette?
So what happened last night? First we had the remaining 2 overnight dates. Then Nick send Rachel home (gasp). Then the Corinne show, I mean the women Tell All. And Rachel is the bachelorette! Yay! OK, Let's relive it:

1. Thoughts about Raven's orgasm/happy montage?

2. Which date did you prefer? Rachel's or Vanessa's?

3. The Women Tell All- Taylor VS Corinne, napping, emotional intelligence, cheese pasta. Thoughts on all this.

4. Nick getting grilled by the women- how did he do?

5. Who SHOULD get the final rose? (no spoilers) and do they have a chance together?

Why did I do this to myself?

Vickers224 — Tue, 07 Mar 2017 08:58:48 +0000

At work we have a fetal doppler. I was curious to check it out. I used it last Friday and found the heartbeat no problem. Sounded fast and strong at 144-146. Last night I decided hey let's try it again and after 10-15 mins or so of endless searching, I couldn't find it. I'm 15 weeks 4 days. I left work completely discouraged something could be wrong. At my last OB appointment 2 weeks ago, my midwife found it no problem. I don't know what to do trying hard not to be upset. Any advice would be much appreciated
