First "out of belly" experience. TOTALLY FREAKED ME OUT!

zonagirlie · September 2012

LOL!
So after our 20 week check up on Monday I was at home just laying on the couch, Emma kitty curled up with me, waiting for dinner, when all of a sudden little man decided he needed more room. My stomach shifted completely to the right. I mean completely. The left side was totally flattened and the right side had a big hard lump sticking out. It happened SO fast and I just yelled for Mr. Zona to come help me. He came running from the kitchen and I was all: WHAT IS THAT?!!?!?! And the poor cat when skittering away, I scared her so badly.
My extremely eloquent husband put his hand on it and said, "I think that's his ass, babe."

He sat in that position for about 5 minutes and it was pretty uncomfortable, it felt like the world's largest gas bubble trying to push through my skin, and then slowly he just shifted back to center.

Tuesday and today I've felt like I've done a million sit ups. He's shifted again like that twice, but not as drastically. It was SO freaky, in a totally awesome but totally crazy weird way.

Anyone else have this kind of movement yet?

Wow that is so amazing! I had to laugh at what your hubby said! I'm 20 weeks as well, and haven't had anything but little twitches! i'm so excited for you, thats so fun

hahaha that's awesome. It is pretty strange when that happens for the first time, you're like uhh what the?? And it's only going to get worse!

My lo is already getting the point when she goes on her rampages of hard kicking it makes my whole stomach shake. It's a weird but cool feeling

My baby girl likes the right side. I'll feel her shift completely to the right and that side will be hard as a rock while the left is lower and soft. She normally only stays that way for a few minutes but its long enough normally for DH to reach over and feel her. I tell him I think she just wants to feel daddy rub her back for a second and then she repositions to fall asleep.

I bet your little one will continue to do this throughout and I'm betting mine will too.

I'm glad you posted this. My LO does this all the time and I thought I was a freak! LOL. It is really awesome but feels really weird at the same time. But my DH loves it. He likes being able to see and feel her.

I loved it when DS did that! he did that when I was in labor with him and I kept thinking "How are you going to get out if you don't move..." Totally fun!

Lol that's great. My LO doesn't shift like that but it moves a lot and kicks really hard. One morning when I wasn't feeling well I just had to say, "oh will you knock it off for a little while!" lol. Most of the time though I love it.

Haha, mine does that a lot. It kind of feels like he's trying to turn around or sitting up. It's so cute to watch though

I get way too excited.

Yay! So Exciting!

Last night I felt the first kick on the outside of my stomach. My DH was already sleeping and by the time he was able to place his hand on my stomach it was too late. The LO had shifted.

And it does feel like the biggest gas bubble ever when they are in certain positions.

Haven't had this yet, but the day is coming!! This wont happen as much as LO het bigger and has less room to move around, but when LO doea move when bigfer, it is very obvious!!

Kay1029 · September 2012

All the time. I think my LO knows when DH is around and isn't paying attention to her because she just kicks and rolls like a mad woman. Then hell put his hand on my stomach and rub her a little bit and she settles down. Or hell play what he calls "push belly" where hell push on one side and shell roll and kick and then hell push on the other side and shell roll and kick there. He finds it hysterical. I get cramps. Not fair. However, I think we have a little daddy's girl on our hands and he is already wrapped completely around her little finger.

Haha!

I had that this morning but not to such a dramatic extent! I definitely felt him shift to my right side and could feel something (head, butt, who knows!?) and see a bigger bump on that side but the left side wasn't completely flat.

My little girl gets really high up if I've been sitting too long. It's like a big hard bump right under my ribs. Very uncomfortable, but kinda cool since I can tell where her head is.
