Did having a baby grow inside of you make you feel funny?

Question

I just asked a question about experiencing miracles. The main response I got from my questions was being blessed about having a baby growing inside of you and actually having kids. I think I have a problem and wondering if anyone shares the same problem as I do. My problem is when I see something that really turns my stomach, my knees go weak and as i call it I feeling spastic (without that sounding mean or calling anyone names). A year ago in November my partners sister gave birth to her first child and I will always remember when she was sitting there one day and she said "oh my baby's foot is stuck under my ribs, oh its a bit uncomfortable" the thought of that happening to me one day makes me shiver as i say i would feel spastic i think because things being inside me is fine but the thought of a babies foot being up here in that position makes me get goose bumps. I even quiver when my partner hugs me and his arm reats on my rib area. I dont think i will cope with a baby inside of me

Answer 1

I never had the feeling of my baby's foot being stuck in my ribs. Actually, I never knew what part of her was where. Sometimes I felt her move but I had no idea what part was what. It felt more like a fluttering, like butterflies in my stomach, and it never hurt.

However, the fact that it is bothering you so much to think about it may mean you have a bigger problem. It sounds like you could almost be obsessing about this. I am not saying that putting you down- it is a common thing that happens. Somone might see a movie where someone's tooth cracks and then every time they bite down on a fork they think of it and it makes them shudder. They may think about it without wanting to but cannot help themselves. This is usually a sign that there may be a bigger problem going on with us and you should possibly speak to a professional about it or explore it yourself.

You may also just be very sqeamish. My sisters are that way. They pass out at the drop of a hat even from just hearing a person say certain medical words.

Before I had my child, I remember thinking I could never breastfeed. The thought of it made me shudder. Once I had my daughter, I did it because I knew it was the healthier choice and it did not bother me at all. Now that she is 2, when I think about it it gives me the willies again. My point is, even if something makes you feel funny to think of now, when it actually happens instinct takes over and it is a whole other ball game!

Answer 2

I didn't feel funny (haha funny) but there were some rather odd sensations such as a hand or foot pressing against the inside of my uterus and being able to distinguish which it was just by the feel...

Before I became pregnant with my first child I thought it was odd and rather weird to have another human being growing inside you... But as it was happening to me it felt prefectly normal even the odd sensations seemed as if they were just what was...

When you are pregnant things progress at such a slow rate that when a new sensation occurs it feels perfectly normal and natural..

Don't over analyse this alot of people feel the same way as you do it's not a bad or wrong way to feel. If you don't feel you can cope with having a child take the proper percautions (condoms and the pill for double protection to prevent pregnancy) not every female will have children and that's fine.... I would however suggest giving it some time as your feelings may change in a few years... If those feeling never change there is no law saying you must have a child...

For me yes, it was weird to have something grow that later in month that you can feel move around and push up on your belly. It has been like that for three pregnancy's. But after they are born it all kicked in. I am not one for being pregnant I personally never really liked being prego but I love my kids and am glad I did. For me there was to many restriction (being High risk) so I didn't never really got to enjoy it. But this is just me. You mat grow out of it when you think you are ready, just don't think of it too much and when it happens it's a great experience.

Answer 4

My husband equates it to the movie aliens. just before the alien pops out of you chest. As weird as that may sound, he does have a point. I think it is strange being pregnant but not in a bad way. Though that is just my opinion. I am curently on my third pregnancy.
