ok, so I've been looking at anatomy, and it doesn't seem as if baby should be able to do this, but I keep feeling kicks that feel like they are hitting me in the like rectum area.... am I going crazy, or is that normal?

Re: baby kicking my butt???
I'm not sure which anatomy texts/sites you are looking up, but the uterus actually rests against the rectum/bladder/intestines...so I guess it's possible depending on which way your baby is oriented at the time and the position you are in to feel it at the "back" of your uterus.

Check out this site, might help you out.
no, not the bladder, lol
I have no idea what I was looking at, nvm
ETA: I think I was looking at an earlier anatomy picture that showed the amniotic sac being below the baby, kind of between the baby and the cervix
ETA: I figured out what I had been looking at... and I think it's just the way it's drawn

I'm not quite 20 weeks, but I've been able to feel the baby sitting on what I'm assuming is my intestines/colon every now and then for a couple of weeks now. Quite painful, especially when you have to poop and can't -- kinda feels like your intestines are gonna explode...

So now I have to know, did you go on any roller coasters?
no, didn't get any opportunities as it turned out that trip home was very complicated
I was very paranoid when I was trying to conceive, and the reason I asked had to do with the whole "no pregnant women on roller coasters" thing, I wasn't quite sure why pregnant women weren't supposed to go on them... but i know better now
