Ughhh, the movement is really starting to freak me out!

I'm 33 weeks. This is my second pregnancy.

For the last 4 days it feels like the baby is constantly rolling and stretching inside me. It feels like he's kneading my stomach like pizza dough.

Oh man, the feeling is really bothering me. I can't explain it. I know I should be thrilled to feel the life inside me but it just feels so strange and uncomfortable! I don't remember feeling like this with my son.

You know what, I know what you mean.

And many people think I'm nuts because they love the feeling, but I don't always love it.

For me, it's cute in the beginning when you first start feeling it, but then it becomes weird, and, at times, painful and will also make me feel seasick.

I feel bad saying that, but it's my own experience & I can't help it. Especially the pressure on the bladder that makes me want to pee on command and then goes away the minute the baby moves away.

The other night, I had a "war" with a foot or elbow or something. It kept poking out of my stomach and it hurt. Like a jab. I would push it back in gently, but it became a game.

It's dreadful at work when I'm talking to someone and then all of a sudden I grimace in pain. Then I have to explain it and I feel like a big jerk.

Anyway, I know how you feel.

I totally remember that with DS. He was so big so every time he moved it was like an earthquake in my stomach. I remember it was totally distracting at work because his most active time in the womb was from 10am-noon and I could never get anything done!!!

I feel the same way. It hurts sometimes.
