Little Elvis Lets Presence Be Known
I’m about 18 and a half weeks and have been fussing for two days because I can’t feel Little Elvis moving.
I thought this movement would feel kind of neat and exciting. I didn’t expect to be kind of painful, but I think that makes sense.
All day today, I have felt weird little twinges behind my belly button and on my bladder. The doctor said Little Elvis was active, and from all these twinges, I definitely agree!
Actually, this shouldn’t be too much of a surprise. I am a born fidgeter. I don’t really sit still. I cross my legs and constantly swing the one on top. If my legs aren’t swinging, then my feet are tapping. If my uncross my legs, then I will kick them in front of me. In a meeting, I will methodically shred the top of my notebook.
I am sure my cubicle mates are sick of my constant movement.
My husband is also pretty active. While I am content to just move my legs or hands, he likes to be “doing” something. I think this is decidedly male. If I mention thinking about getting some water, he will get up and get it. (This has definitely spoiled me, and this was common BEFORE I was pregnant. I am too lucky.)
I feel Little Elvis a lot more when I’m standing up or walking. When I’m sitting, the twinges are much rarer.Am I feeling Little Elvis, or is my stomach playing tricks on me? What did you feel when your baby first started moving around?
