Something just moved in my stomach..

949 replies

Ohshitx · 24/05/2020 17:44

I’ve name changed for this.

Something literally just rolled in my stomach, there was a popping sensation and now I swear I have a bump where I didn’t before. Nothing that strange until I mention that I’ve not had sex since November and I’ve had periods since then. But something is moving in my stomach, and not like trapped wind. I’ll get out for a test first thing, but I surely can’t be that many weeks pregnant and not have had a single symptom till now, surely? Please someone tell me I can’t.

@Wecandothis99 yeah it's not a hernia, have you read the whole thread?

WoollyMammouth · 26/05/2020 08:38

Oh my god are we still getting ‘it’s a hernia?’

Wecandothis99 · 26/05/2020 08:40

Well obviously no I haven't read the whole thread. How superior you are for doing so tho. I have better things to do than read that many pages and I reply on instinct, don't shoot please. Jesus!
Congrats OP what lovely news!

@woolly can't believe how much my post stressed you out. Calm down, not everyone reads all the posts love

OnlyJudyCanJudgeMe · 26/05/2020 08:43

Well @Wecandothis99 don’t comment unless you at least read the OP’s posts because you just make yourself look foolish by commenting crap!

Cheekychops73 · 26/05/2020 08:45

Congratulations OP this happened to me too sitting on the couch talking too my mum and I felt as if something had somersaulted in my belly. Next thing I had a bump. Went to drs & was about 22 weeks along 😱. I was still getting periods no other signs except for what I thought was a stomach bug a few weeks before. My “wind” 😂 is now a 21 year old strapping man & the parties were I got drunk before knowing have had no effect on him whatsoever. Take care OP

steppemum · 26/05/2020 08:45

OP hope you are doing OK. Like others I started reading thinking ha ha it will be wind, and was stunned when you got a positive test. If that is how we feel I cannot imagine how shocked you must be feeling.

Don't rush into telling the Dad, give yourself some time to adjust.
Change is always a shock and scary, but once you adjust to the new version of the future, you can start to plan etc.

@onlyjudy you look pathetic commenting on a genuine mistake where I was trying to help the OP with my experience, it's really not that deep. Biscuit

wineandcheeseplease · 26/05/2020 08:47

Congratulations op. I hope you are OK!

WoollyMammouth · 26/05/2020 08:50

Your post really hasn’t stressed me out. For someone who hasn’t had time to read the OPs latest posts you are making a lot of time to reply to people.

Lorddenning1 · 26/05/2020 08:52

Personally I think it's annoying that someone will not read the whole thread and then comment, do you think after all the messages on this thread, pages and pages, there wasn't some kind of conclusion to it? It's not being superior it's just having common sense Confused

Ohshitx · 26/05/2020 08:53

@HowFurloughCanYouGo I can only apologise? I’m not sure what your point is...

Morning everyone, have rang docs. They have made me an appointment with midwife on Friday but she’s going to ring me hopefully today/possibly tomorrow.

Congratulations OP! Just read the whole way through! Must be pretty scary but I'm sure in the end everything will come together! Xx

wonderstuff · 26/05/2020 09:01

Excellent. How are you feeling?

That's a very dry, old looking test.

Doesn't look any different to all the other pictures of tests posted on here 🙄

Weenurse · 26/05/2020 09:16

Congratulations

Merename · 26/05/2020 09:16

Wow, @Ohshitx, did you get any sleep? What a headfuck. Can you feel lots of movement now that you know? I hope that the midwife rings you today. I’m sure Friday feels like a million years away but given your wee baby has been safe and snug in there for however long, they’ll be fine until Friday. Feeling really excited for you but it sounds like (understandably) a lot of different emotions for you. How are you managing to be normal around your DS?! Flowers

BarbeDeMaman · 26/05/2020 09:26

Congratulations OP. There are 7 years between my two and they get on great but it did take a bit of getting used to going back to baby stuff. And that's with 9 months preparation! My elder child says the younger is the best thing that ever happened so hopefully your son will feel the same.

Good luck

vivariumvivariumsvivaria · 26/05/2020 09:30

Friday must seem like an age away, hope they manage to ring you sooner.

Have you told anyone yet? I mean, apart from MN.

Tisahardlife · 26/05/2020 09:33

Goodness what a big surprise for you.

Just a thought, but could you be further along then you think? If November was thre last time you had sex, there are no guarantees that that was the time you became pregnant and not a previous time you had sex in the last 9 months.

NatashaRomanov · 26/05/2020 09:33

Congratulations OP.

What a shock though. I hope your FwB can step up however you need him too. More importantly, I hope you stay fit and well, and that your son becomes excited by the idea.

Do you have local friends and family for support?

hellsbellsmelons · 26/05/2020 09:44

OMG - what a shock OP.
I hope it all goes well on Friday.
And I really hope he steps up.
Congratulations.

Kezmum14 · 26/05/2020 09:49

Ahh congratulations :) I found out I was pregnant with my third when I was 36 weeks (didn’t ever feel kicks but literally woke up one morning and had a bump, my Mum insisted I take a test just to check) he’s 6 now! 😱

gillys · 26/05/2020 09:50

Congratulations OP. Hope you've managed to get your head round it a little now.
I know you said you have savings but maybe look at your local FB for sale & mums & dad's pages to find some items that you need. Could also contact your local church, they might have social media contact with any baby groups they host & ask for good quality unwanted equipment.
Mostly though I hope you manage to have the conversation you need to have & that all will be well x
