Baby MOVEMENT?!?!

ajrodriguez712 · August 2013

I'm 15 weeks, 1 Day... I literally just felt this "spasm" right where my uterus is... I'm not sure if it could be the baby... I am a FTM... Anyone else ever felt movement/flutters this early?!

calimama2007 · August 2013

It is possible. I first felt DD poking me from the inside at around 20 weeks, very faintly. But I later learned it was that late bc the placenta was likely in the front. Such an amazing feeling!

randalin · August 2013

It's totally possible! I was about 20 weeks when I felt my first and it felt like butterflies in my stomach (kind of like when you're really nervous). It wasn't too long after that when I started feeling much more distinct movements and could feel from the outside. I'm so looking forward to feeling this little one soon!

Yes, baby movements feel like muscle spasms to me.

Not to be rude but do you actually read other posts on this board?

ajrodriguez712 · August 2013

Thank you!
Jordy, if you don't mean to be rude, don't be.

Well I mean you asked if anyone has felt movement. People have been posting about feeling movement for weeks. Read other posts.

ajrodriguez712 · August 2013

I understand that people may have posted for "weeks" but maybe I missed it... It's not a valid question when asked that way... If you don't have anything productive/nice to say, why bother posting?

You miss them bc you don't bother reading them. There have been multiple posts a day for weeks. Asking you to actually read other posts is productive. You're welcome.

littlepig2 · August 2013

I don't think Jordy was being rude. like hashtag said, it's a valid question. this has been asked many, many times so if you missed it, you're probably not on this board regularly. I would recommend doing that or searching topics first.

ajrodriguez712 · August 2013

I'm sorry I have a life and don't sit on The Bump all day... This is why... I refuse to deal/engage in immature behavior... You are welcome... Enjoy the rest of your night on The Bump...

JordyInIndy · August 2013

I have a life outside of the bump also. But I also engage enough in this community enough to read other people's posts and reply rather than just pop in and AW myself to a bunch of people who have no idea who I am.

I'm not immature, just annoyed by people who ask questions that have been asked a million times already. You enjoy the rest of your night as well.

I read enough posts to know who the immature, rude women are on this site. In fact, we all know who they are. They don't realize how ignorant and immature they are. Hopefully it's pregnancy hormones that keep you bitchy...otherwise, I will say a prayer for you. : )

JordyInIndy · August 2013

@Ajrodriguez712 why did you flag @hashtagrainbow? It's not a dislike button, it means she's violated TOS...which she hasn't. You should probably undo it.

I'm not hormonal. At all.

ETA: I also don't need you to pray for me @sweetbabymills. Bless your heart.

littlepig2 · August 2013

::cue all inactive bumpers:: I have a feeling this is going to turn into another "you mean bullies!" when no one is bullying. be a member, read threads, and save your prayers for people who actually need them.

svetka86 · August 2013

Wow... I just recently started following the board on thebump.... Didn't know about it before. But now I'm trying to decide whether I even want to come back, with such head-bashing insults.

Honestly, ladies, we are all having moments here and there. Yes, it may be frustrating for you to read the same question over and over, but no one is forcing you to reply for the infinite time to the same question...even to read the thread. On the other hand, someone new like me (and I don't know about the OP), its overwhelming trying to go back and read ALL the post from MONTHS back. Please try to see each other's sides...walk in someone else's shoes.

We all have busy lives, ladies. Please be kind and supportive of each other.... Because that's what I thought the original purpose of these groups were. Am I wrong? (Seriously...if I'm wrong, please do tell me...and I will take my two cents elsewhere). Thank you, ladies.

I always wonder when we get threads like these going if other boards see it and make fun of us like I've seen on our board? I imagine the title is similar to "look what i found on feb 2014!"If so I'm happy other people get to be entertained.

ziggy903 · August 2013

1. The purpose of these boards is to make money for the bump. Not support. If that happens, coolio, but its not the purpose of these boards.
2. Surely, all of you ladies who are OMG so much busier than those of us who have actually spent time here realize that it is actually faster to look though a few pages of what's already been talked about than to start a new topic?
3. The only people I see being mean in here are the ones who are not active in the community. They're the only ones calling people immature and calling names.
4. I like making numbered lists.

I think this one needs a lot more name calling and flagging to be that kind of material

this is just not juicy enough yet!

littlepig2 · August 2013

@ziggy903 numbered lists are great and I think yours is my favorite!

Thank you for the clarification. I guess all of us ignorant new-comers can see our way out of the TB club.

But seriously, I think I will pass on TB in that case...And pointless posts like the one I'm writing right now. Right?
Seriously, thanks for the dose of honesty. I'm sorry for putting my inexperienced and illiterate two cents here. I'll keep my mouth shut.

@svetka86 You wrote asking to be honestly told if you were wrong about your interpretation of the board. (You wrote, "Am I wrong? (Seriously...if I'm wrong, please do tell me...and I will take my two cents elsewhere).") When Ziggy (quite honestly) told you what you didn't want to hear, your response was snarky and sarcastic. Don't get me wrong--I'm all for snark and sarcasm, which is a big part of why I like TB so much. But you've got to choose.

Like puppies and rainbows? Try baby gaga.

Like honesty, snark, and a close-knit community? Pull up your big girl panties and stop white-knighting, and you're welcome to stick around here.

Haha....okay, criticism taken. Yes, I was a bit sarcastic. I do apologize.
I guess I'm just not used to "forum talk"...without the filters, social etiquette, and extra consideration of other people's feelings. You're probably right...this probably isn't the place for me.
"Big-girl panties" ...I got them, but I choose to practice kindness (even online! ::::gasp:::) and get defensive when someone starts to be victimized. I should stay offline then and live in my world of puppies and rainbows ( <--- sarcasm noted).

Im a FTM and was new to TB in June when I got my BPF. At first I was taken a back at the brutally honest comments too but I've learned to appreciate them. I love the FEB board and im going to tell you that no one here is snarky and rude and no one is head bashing. this board is honest. Wouldn't it be more of a waste of time if it was a big facade and everyone was fake? I appreciate its not all nicey nice puppies and rainbows. You can get that from your circle or friends, mom, sisters, etc. If you stick around enough and become an active poster you too will get annoyed by the duplicate posts. You will also gain so much more knowledge than you could read in a book and gain a lot if support too. (Not many ppl in my life care about what I'm going through and these ladies comments the last few days brought me to tears and meant more to me than I thought possible through an Internet board,) don't knock it until you try it. If its not for you, see ya later.

ziggy903 · August 2013

@nikkijo1022 very well said.

The thing is, we're very supportive here... But just as you wouldn't walk into a room of strangers and ask if you just felt your baby move, you shouldn't do it here. If we haven't gotten to know you, that's basically what you're doing.
And I would argue that we're extremely nice and practice a great amount of social etiquette... To those who practice it as well. Relationships- even online ones- go two ways. You have to give support to recieve it. I don't fully appreciate it until I had a scare this past week- but these wonderful women here, who I have gotten to know over the past couple months, were so supportive and helped me calm down. They helped me realize that everything is going to be okay.
I'm just saying- get to know us before you judge us. We're not all losers with nothing better to do with our lives. We're building friendships, that can grow and mature and turn into lasting relationships. Treat coming onto this board as you would meeting a room full of new people- and you'll get on just fine here.

ziggy903 · August 2013

@junebugz1 i'm doing much better, thank you! luckily i talked DH into letting me get a doppler so i can listen to the HB whenever i want... really calmed me down.

@hashtagrainbow i
