Sinking feeling when baby moves

Does anyone else get this sinking feeling in their stomach when baby moves, like the feeling you get on a rollercoaster or when you are falling?

Yeh depends how they are moving. If he’s twisting around it feels like I’m on one of those rollercoasters that drops you really quickly from the sky haha

Depends where she is but yes. When shes low in my pelvis and turning/kicking its very unpleasant 😅. I have anterior placenta as well so its either pukey pelvic kicks or ones up in my ribs that make me jump

Yes argh it makes me feel so uneasy!

Yeah, usually with big movements!

Yes! Such a weird feeling. I got it a lot earlier on but not so much recently. Now I just get elbows 😂

Yeah I used to think of it as a lurchy feeling!

Baby names

My daughter‘s name is valentýna and I’m struggling to find other nice girl and boy names beginning with V I’ve got a few and I’ve got loads that aren’t beginning with V, but I feel like I wanna go for all vs and I also love girl and boys names that match so because my daughter’s name is valentýna I would love to call my son Valentino my husband does not agree 😃

Induction or c section?

As a last resort, would you rather be induced or have a planned c section?

Really not liking the thought of being induced from people’s experiences I’ve read!

Almost 37 weeks + told to do another growth scan

I just had my second to last doctor’s appointment this morning, and my OB told me she wants me to do another growth scan because my belly is measuring small. She says it’s probably just because I’m a smaller woman, but they like to be safe. It’s hard to hear though, since I just did one a couple months ago.

I did this with my firstborn around this time of pregnancy, so I do think I just carry smaller (even though I don’t feel like I look “small” at all). My first baby was 6lbs 15oz when she was born at 41 weeks + 2 days. I’m having this baby at 39 weeks on April 7. I hope she’s still at least 6lbs.

Anyone have any stories similar to this?
