@LakeR2014 I'm so sorry to hear about your dad. I'm sure you guys are taking great care of him, but also remember to take care of yourself too! Thinking of you .
@ajn092 Not a fun way to have to go to bed. Keep us posted!
@PSUBecky23 Cute!! Also, I've had some movements today that hurt too! Baby is kicking the crap out of my ribs, sometimes it takes my breath away.
Does it ever feel like baby is kicking your butt hole? Asking for a friend.
Haha I had this yesterday. Random pressure so deep in my butt. Felt like an arm was going to pop out of my butt.
At my growth scan yesterday, she was trying to get a shot of the baby's head, and he was so far down that she was basically putting the transducer between my upper inner thigh and vagina. I had to pull my pants right down. Maybe that's why the butt pain.
@MrsVoorhees - I don't know.. but we had someone on my last Board who wanted to know if she could have gotten pregnant from butt sex, because that would introduce another possible father of gestating baby. I miss fantastic random questions such as that... and we never did find out if her baby was a "Butt baby" or not...
I'm now realizing she never updated us because we all referred to her baby as a Butt Baby.. hahaha, oooh the cruelty of Dec14.
I would think that baby could just as easily hit a nerve or low enough on your colon to feel like she's giving you a literal kick in the butt. Bonus points if it prevents constipation.
@JennM205 last time around we were team green and the sonographer slipped up and said "she" a few times during the scan, even after we clearly reiterated that we didn't want to know the sex. She claimed it was her default pronoun but I seriously went 15 weeks thinking we'd be having a girl when in fact it was a boy. I'm sorry they're playing the pronoun mindf*ck game with you ! So not fair!
also, please don't beat yourself up over being on bedrest. You're doing great and looking out for what's best for your LO. Imagine if you didn't abide by the bedrest restrictions and something bad happened, you'd never forgive yourself!
My cube is next to my boss' office and if the door is open I can mostly clearly hear everything that is spoken. Earlier today another coworker was in his office (I try not to listen but it's so loud) and I knew they were talking about a projected I touched and then they got quiet. I knew I heard my name a couple times and then they shut the door, I was like crap what did I do. Later I get a meeting invite to my baby shower!!! Not going to lie was a little bummed before they weren't doing one. It is for Sept 8th and I'm due the 26th, that should be ok right? Boss talked about the shower later with me and said yea we were always planning on doing one, I just assumed the rest of them were handling it, then I realized you are always the person who leads these things so I guess it slipped. I'm excited, now to debate what to buy, I was going to buy the rest of the important baby items this week....
tl;dr Having a work baby shower, didn't think they were going to have one, I'm happy.

Yep, totally remember seeing that!!
I'm pretty sure it's a nerve! It's a very strange feeling though!
@PoodleDoodleOoo - According to fellow Dec14 members (I think at least 1 of which was a sex educator) you technically can if there is spillage of sperm that hops out of one hole and into another.
I should be more mature and use more technical terms... but in this case I just can't.
@jhems776 last time my job threw me one and it was about 2 weeks before my due date. You should be good just keep your legs and butt hole closed in the meantime lol

My boss just came into my office and quietly told me not to schedule anything for August 29. And then walked out. Second baby so didn't think anyone would be throwing anything which is fine but still, I like attention too sometimes.
@AnnaS930 My SIL and I just spent half an hour texting each other about Trump and his supporters. I just have an overwhelming fear of him getting elected. The ad you mention is exactly why. I'm going to have two young daughters. That is not what I want them to grow up seeing.
I also don't understand how any woman can honestly back Trump and Pence if they actually know anything about either of them. But I live in Indiana... lots of Trump supporters here, including family on both DH and my sides.
I just got a burst of energy to actually clean my house, like vacuum and mop and dear God I must be insane. But it appeared, so I seized the opportunity because clutter and mess makes my anxiety go through the roof, and I wasn't satisfied with the tidy job I did last night. I go to put the collection of shoes by the front door back in the coat closet, and start rearranging the coats, taking some down that can be stored (ski jackets and junk)... and the entire rack comes crashing down, slammed into my hip (on the side, but ouch) and now I have gazillions of coats, boxes and other crap in my front entry way and I can't do shit about it because most of it is too heavy for me to move. I'm so ragey and stabby right now that I mostly just want to throw it all out on the curb... if I could lift it. My landlord is coming by around 4 today to hopefully fix it. It's completely ripped right out of the wall so she's going to have to drill new holes, and now I can't clean because there's a giant mess that I'll have to revolve around and fuck that. So I'm hanging out at my local bakery, eating a cronut (it's a croissant that's been turned into a donut... with jelly inside... sooo good) and a latte and trying to forget about the mess in my house that I refuse to go back to until 4 pm... FML.
@MrsVoorhees I've never felt butt kicks, but I've felt hiccups in my butt. Weirdest feeling ever.
@AnnaS930 Your D14 story reminds me of another reason I'm okay with drive by labor birth questions... pure entertainment. A rando came on to ask us if she was going into labor because she apparently pooped herself for 2 hours straight while closing on a house. It became an ongoing joke that you weren't in labor until you shit yourself first. The boards were definitely crueler back then.
@yellowrose314 Loved it for your cronut and latte. I would have had the exact same reaction you did to the situation. Glad you didn't get hurt any worse than you did when everything fell!
Stuck in meetings all day, but after lots of back and forth with my OB over email, she's OK with me waiting to come in tomorrow as long as contractions don't get closer together. I think I may have lost a chunk of mucous plug.
I'm clinging on to the idea that every pregnancy is different b/c with DS1 I lost it the day I went into labor and with DS2 I was already in transition. I am so not ready for this kid yet!
@jennm205 echoing what others have said about team green. My office doesn't write sex down b/c they don't consider it vital info for your pregnancy, so likely just your OB's preferred verbiage. Also, I feel like there is some away in dilation/effacement amounts between practitioners, so what one considered dilated to 1 may have been barely opened on the inside, but still closed outside, as I've had it referenced that way before. I do question 80% effacement vs 0% though since that's a couple cm difference in length.
For reference, this is my living room right now, and I'm almost on the verge of tears because CLUTTER UGHHHHH. Sorry for the size... Mobile bump
Wait that's clutter? Cause that's my house....on a good day! <ugh> I really need to get me some of that 'nesting' feeling that everyone's talking about.
@AmMcc12 I've had that and then the real asshats then ask "Oh, is it twins?" In my head I have all these comebacks but in reality I just smile, say no, and try to walk away. Do people really have no idea what pregnant people in the third trimester look like? The bump doesn't magically get big the week baby is due, it grows very slowly over months. One person last week flat out said "You look large" and then said "Oh, I mean not you, the baby does" soooo not helping.
Also @JennM205 - When I see NP's/OB's other than my own they always refer to the baby as "he" then later in the appointment will ask "Do you know what you're having this time?" I never thought much of it, but guessing that they really don't know and just refer to babies as "he" rather than "it"
Re: August Randoms!!!
Also, anxiously awaiting updates from those dealing with concerns right now @ajn092 @fireflygirl12

Its just like a cervix kick, but...the butt.

Seriously you guys, the kicks to the butthole and conception through butt sex. I can't.
