Re: Thursday and Friday Ticker Change (7/12-7/13)
i have two, both happening to me.
1) when i was around 10 or 11yo and going door to door selling girl scout cookies, a man in a green jeep stopped me to ask for directions. “do you know where x street is? y street? z street?” when he got to a street that i recognized, he asked me if i would get in his car and show him where to go because he was lost. i told him no and turned around and went straight home. i’m so thankful i had the sense to not get in the car because now i know how bad that would have ended for me. i’m almost certain i saw the same man in a green jeep a year later, with the same ploy, but i didn’t even stop to acknowledge him. it breaks my heart to think back and wonder if something ever happened to someone else. i can’t remember if i told my mom or if she called the police or anything.
2) the summer before highschool my mom and i visited her family in the philippines. it was my first time going there since i was a toddler. filipinos (my mom definitely included) can be a deeply superstitious lot. i became incredibly ill the first week i was there. saw a doctor who had no idea what was going on. somehow or another, the family determined that a recently deceased family friend must have been possessing me, so they called the next of kin who lived an hour away to come and do this ritual with me to release the spirit. i swear that within minutes of the ritual, i felt back to normal.
22 weeks tomorrow. Coconut.
Other than being tired and short of breath, I'm feeling great!
Nope.
Baby's moving a ton. I can see my stomach moving when he gets going!
Nothing too weird has ever happened to me, though I wish it had because I'm all about weird happenings.
I guess the weirdest thing that's ever happened to me was that once I was in our garage with my brother when I was maybe 8, and suddenly a bag full of aluminum cans (tied tightly at the top with no way to get into it) fell over and started rustling/shuffling like there was something in it. I guess it could have just been cans shifting inside the bag, but it moved like there was something alive in there. I noped out of there without investigating.
My mom saw a ghost once, though! She works in a jail and saw what she described as a vaguely human-shaped mist or shadow cross the hallway and disappear into the wall opposite.
She absolutely doesn't (or didn't) believe in the occult and wouldn't lie about something like that, so I absolutely believe her. I'm a little jealous, actually!
@highsteaks I'm sorry you're facing that sort of decision without your doctor giving you enough information. Could you get a second opinion on whether the amnio is worth it, maybe?

nothing to me but my uncle did live on a haunted apartment. Every morning he would go to the living room and his radio would have the headsets plugged in, unraveled and laying on the couch. Radio volumn turned all the way up. And the ceiling tile on the bathroom would be taken down lying on the toliet. Not sure how he lived there so long!
@ftm_jen i don’t think i could live there anymore after the 2nd time that happened! whoa
@MojieJo My stomach has started to move with baby too. It's so neat!
@runningyogimama I don't feel like my boobs are bigger, but DH says they certainly are! I don't mind that pregnancy perk!
@ftm_jen That's freaky! I would have been out of there so fast!
24 weeks. Baby is the size of a small pizza!
Pretty good overall. I touched on this in the symptoms thread but I am having acid reflux and all the emotions. Other than that, pretty good.
I had one Wednesday to talk about my pelvic pain. For those who didn't see the update, one of my hips is rotated in and up so my pelvic bone is out of alignment. The Dr did some muscle manipulation to try to help it, and it helped while in the office, but as soon as I got dressed to leave, it came back. I thought I might just be sore from him poking around, but last night I woke up from a dead sleep because of pain and I almost couldn't get out of bed. I'm going between standing and sitting every few minutes just to try to get comfortable. I have at PT appt next Friday and I am hoping they might be able to help.
See above.
Nothing specific to me, but one of my cousins had a ton of stuff happen to him when he was a baby. At night his parents would take Elmo out of his crib and every morning they would wake up because he was in the crib playing with Elmo making noise. He was still too little to get it on his own, so someone was giving it to him. They would also find silverware in random places all over the house.
My mom also woke up one night and swore she saw a nurse standing in her bedroom. The nurse disappeared pretty quickly, but it freaked her out for sure.
