Baby moving, anyone else?

daniileigh8 · September 2014

So, im 20+ weeks and my little princess is moving a lot!! I didnt expect to feel her this early as im not the slimmest person but my boyfriend and mum are able to feel her with their hands.. Its such an amazing feeling im just wondering if anyone else has been feeling their bubba this early?

MichaelaMTP · September 2014

I can definitely feel the baby moving. I haven't tried to let anyone else feel because the movements are so inconsistent, but definitely there!

jennjilljo · September 2014

Lots of people are but many of us still aren't feeling movement either. I'm glad that you've gotten that happy milestone and I'm so happy for your mom and bf for getting to feel it too.

Much love to the no movement yet mom's.

Eta: this is a sensitive topic right now so don't be surprised if not everyone who responds is thrilled. It's not that they aren't happy for you, it's that they are worried and feel emotionally hurt by these posts.

kefttsc · September 2014

Please refer to the multiple posts about movement in the last week or so. Also, I know you are excited, but please be aware that we have MANY moms who cannot yet feel movement, and these posts can often hurt feelings. Those with anterior placentas may not feel movement at all, even from only the inside, for weeks.

I see that you are brand new, so please get to know us and our board and we will be happy to cut you a break

daniileigh8 · September 2014

Next time your bubba moves just place your hand firmly over where its moving, see if you can feel

oh thank you, im sure it will be soon that your feeling your ball of fun! My love to the no movement yet mums too

leannetab90 · September 2014

M glad you are feeling it so soon! With my first I didn't feel it until pretty late but I'm only 19 weeks with this pregnancy and this baby is moving like crazy!

daniileigh8 · September 2014

Not posting this to hurt any feelings, just wanted to see who else is in my position, and feeling it, i wrote the title to let people know what my post was about.. Im sorry to the mums who wont get to feel their bubba, i didnt say to cause hurt feelings. I thought this site was to see if people can relate to you and your pregnancy etc, which is my reason for posting, not to hurt feelings

jennjilljo · September 2014

@daniileigh8‌, we know that wasn't your intent. It was just an FYI. I'm a STM and have been feeling internal movement for a month or more. It's an amazing feeling and I completely understand wanting to share that. We just want you to be aware so that you can better understand some of the responses you may get.

It's actually not early to be feeling movement. Many moms are. I'm glad for you that you've had that.

I'm one of the jealous and sad ladies still waiting for even a flutter internally. The longer it takes, the more I feel like it's just never going to happen (though logically I know it will).

I understand you're not trying to hurt feelings. It's just hard for those of us without anything at all to get multiple posts per day touting how amazing it is. It's a reminder of what we're missing out on, is all.

This. And it is hard for the PGAL moms who are already worried constantly. Your audience is mixed here.

If you are looking for rainbows and glitter and squeeing that is not this forum. There is a lot of support and love and laughs and (insert butt smell post reference here), however. The bump will always make you think.

daniileigh8 · September 2014

Totally understand, and im sorry to hurt anybodys feelings, it wasnt intended, im just a FTM and exited thats all,

Ducktale · September 2014

It's kind of like coming on here posting "I'm so rich, it's such an amazing feeling! Can anyone else relate?" See how that's totally AW? It's okay if you didn't realize it, but just own the insensitivity and don't get defensive.

daniileigh8 · September 2014

Just said sorry, i cant do anymore, i didnt realise.. Thanks for the advice mums, and i wasnt getting defensive just expressing my feelings

PeanettyGoodness · September 2014

I started feeling flutters at about 12wks and am still feeling movement, a little stronger, off and on. It's not consistent yet and my hubby hasn't been able to feel it yet. Though, the baby always stops doing its little dance when he puts his hand on my stomach. lol

Mommalawyer · September 2014

Its my second. I have been feeling movement, intermittent, for a few weeks now. As of last week, its nearly several times a day now. Yay. Its comforting.

schnitz9 · September 2014

There are sensitive topics at this stage this being one of them. I haven't worried not feeling anything but seeing it shoved in my face 15 times a day doesn't make me feel great. Even with the title of the post I still don't feel like reading it. As I've said on multiple posts before these types of posts should be held at least for another month to give everyone a chance to catch up. I appreciate your acceptance OP but in the future before you post anything AWish or in my mind braggy think about your audience first. Ask yourself how you would feel if you were in the opposite position. We are all supportive here buy with posts like these there is a time and place and sadly this was neither. Shout out to @sugahcookie01 I guys our little guys just love makin us wait!

I think your fine girl. Im a second time mom and havent felt my son move yet on the outside. Its a bummer cuz i looove feeling it. Youre excited to share a milestone and you clearly named the thread exactly what you were talking about. If moms were going to get offended they shouldnt have read it. Its completely natural to be stoked about all this and i think everyone should be just as stoked for you ♡

Not familiar with apostrophes? But I see you got the heart working. Score!

Also, Nicole Whitt, I'd consider changing your screen name. You're incredibly easy to find on FB.

I might not have to read the thread but I still have to see the title shoved in my face!!!! All I've said it wait a few weeks to let everyone get the same feeling. I agree with @ducktale the title is a bit braggy too. Threads like this don't go over well. Wait til 24 weeks or later....

cls78 · September 2014

Nope, I haven't felt my twins at all, but they were moving around a ton during the a/s.

Nicolewhitt · September 2014

@Ducktale‌ I appreciate that you took the time to search me on facebook. Flattering. I dont mind that the moms on here can find me, its cool to know other moms that are pregnant with me. Just dont think its cool to be a bully on here. I guess instead of arguing or making mean useless comments on here I will just save some time and report the comments that are unnecessary, rude, and have no point other than to jab and hurt feelings.@‌

jennjilljo · September 2014

No one engage this. OP understands where that it won't be sunshine and rainbows from everyone but we're all still happy that she had the experience now and that's all that matters.

Unless you're up for it, then go nuts.

Nicolewhitt · September 2014

@kkleigh10‌ I was not talking about the other moms on here i was talking about the duck lady and her jabbing remarks to this girl who was just trying to be sweet and even apologized. And to her jabbing remark to me even when i was just trying to be nice back to the girl. Also, @musicgirl524‌ i am aware of cyberstalking which is why my name is not nicolewhitt. Im not sure who she was looking at but oh well. Again, I am anything but mean on here I was trying to be encouraging and supportive which is what this whole club is for. All the moms are informative and nice. I was pretty much telling @ducktale that its not cool to be mean when you can communicate in a better way.

reneamac313 · September 2014

@Ducktale‌ I may just think of you as The Duck Lady now.

Nicolewhitt · September 2014

I didnt mean to accuse the forum, just the "duck lady"

I will speak directly to the person next time sorry for the confusion. @kkleigh10‌

@nicolewhitt just an FYI abuse of reporting is against TOU and could get you banned. Just because you don't like a comment does not mean you should be reporting it. Reporting is for if someone threatens you or give out confidential information. I'm sure @sugahcookie01 and @thegoodpotatoe could give you a better clarification....

Thanks @schnitz9‌

So many comments to make...where do I start...

-lol at "jabbing" being a reportable offense

-Correcting grammar and spreading awareness of Internet safety = bullying now, huh?

-Duck lady. Awesome. Is this like cat lady but I get lots of ducks?

Here @Ducktale, this is for you...

nbad311 · September 2014

My baby MAY have moved yesterday afternoon as I was watching Steve Smith Sr get me oodles of fantasy points, pounding the couch and jumping up and down in screaming jubilation. It wasn't delicate flutters or butterflies though, it was more like generalized points of pressure that would come and go.

I never understood the sensitivity on this forum. I haven't felt much movement, but I certainly wouldn't feel sad or upset with someone because they have. Would you react that way in person if someone told you? I get that some people post on here a lot and feel entitled to give opinions and advice, but some of us come on here because we don't know where else to get information and feel silly asking people certain questions. How would someone know that sharing information would cause so many people to act like that? Ridiculous.

HerHighness · September 2014

I find it "ridiculous" that the same topic has been posted at least once a day for several weeks and nobody bothers to use the search function.

She that's where you are wrong. I'm not sad I'm simply annoyed. Had you taken the time to lurk and get to know the forum you would would see that this topic is posted several times a day for weeks. After a while us that have not had movement start to get annoyed that its being shoved in our faces all the time. Even with titles I may not have to read the thread but I have to see "have you felt anything or is this movement or OMG the sweetest feeling." Seriously enough already. STOP WITH THIS SHIT ALREADY! Have I said it loud enough for everyone to hear......
