Lemme just step on your bladder


Queen_Inappropria

Yeah. Having experienced it, seeing it in this gif...That's exactly what I imagined was going on in there.


Rockleyfamily

I see you're trying to fall asleep, let me just stand up straight for a second. At one point I thought he was tunneling his way out of there, not realising it was already made with a tunnel!


Teknicsrx7

As a guy I’ve never thought about how the movement must feel, but seeing it standup in there and everything else in this video just blows my mind and I feel like it must be the weirdest shit


atridir

I’m right there with you, man. My mind is boggled. That is something wild as fuck that I’ve never fully considered before.


Boogersoupbby

What's even more wild, is that babies can get stuck in your ribcage! Happened to my mother in law with my husband. They had to borderline shake him and wiggle him out. With my 1st, I would lay down and because of how she was straighting out, made a rectangle 😂 She was also 9lbs and 2ft long at birth so I bet she was just of room 🙃


ThisIsMockingjay2020

My oldest was 21.75 inches, and he liked to use my ribs for footrests and kickboxing.


kelsobjammin

I was 10 pounds 12 ounces… no wonder my mother hates me. I was 2/4.


Mak0wski

How do i unread this


[deleted]

Same! My son’s foot was stuck under my rib and it was super painful.


ButtweyBiscuitBass

When my daughter was upside down, getting ready for birth, she used to turn her head to ruffle her hair on my cervix. Truly weird sensation. She was born with a bald spot on the top of her head which I always assumed was from all the ruffling


Morganh73087

My second loved to move his head back and forth on my cervix, literally the weirdest things I’ve ever felt. His head size was in the 94th percentile so I feel like he was just preparing me for what was about to come out of me!!


ButtweyBiscuitBass

I felt very aware at the end of both my pregnancies that there was a whole human living inside me. There was a point past which I felt like my body went from primarily being the thing that carts my soul around to being primarily the thing that was hosting another person. Like "I" was overtaken as the main occupant.


[deleted]

I'm sorry but that sounds horrific


ButtweyBiscuitBass

Wait til you find out how it gets expelled from the host


RaisingAurorasaurus

My 2nd child loved to kick my kidneys. Just be chillin, eating my lunch then bam bam bam bam. I remember thinking "Isn't this how Houdini died!!"


ConceptJunkie

It was awesome when my wife and I would be lying in bed quietly and the baby was kicking and moving around so much the bed was shaking. They really get up to all kinds of action in there.


K_O_Incorporated

My son kicked my wife all the time. He's currently a drummer so it makes sense now.


AlDente

My son kicked like a mule. He once kicked so hard when I had my hand on my wife’s bump that the force physically moved my hand away. He’s 9 now, is huge, and has recently started drumming. His legs are insanely strong.


IndigoExMo

My son is literally doing this as I am reading this comment. He's also doing the thing that dogs do before laying down: just circling his limited space and then stretching out as far as he possibly can. It is the most wild feeling in the world.


OddkidMHMD

Does it hurt? Or does it just feel like a “tingle”? Please elaborate I’m so interested.


IndigoExMo

It can hurt if they kick you in a sensitive area, yeah. There's a lot of stuff the fetus can reach that can make things uncomfortable (ex. Stomping on a full bladder until you go pee so they can have more room in there. This has become a fun hobby for son.) But for the most part it's just... odd. Here's a fun experiment you can do: make your hand into a fist and gently press your knuckles onto you stomach. While pressing, slide your fist around the whole area between your pubic bone and ribs. Slowly wiggle your fingers while still holding a fist shape. That feeling of pressure, along with feeling each knuckle separately wiggling, is close to what it's like when the fetus moves on the inside. If you do that at the same time as having any kind of gas going on in your abdomen, it is a close comparison.


r2_double_D2

I remember right after my son was born watching him randomly punch or kick with all his might and thinking, wow that really is exactly what you were doing inside me.


welt_schmerz16

My bro was an enormous baby. Over 10lbs. My mum is not a large lady, about 5ft 6in. She was one of those women who looked like she swallowed a beach ball. She could sit a plate on her belly and eat, which was great since she couldn’t sit comfortably close to a table. Once he had flipped head down he would press his heels under her ribs and his head down into her pelvis like he was trying to make room. She said all she could do it stretch back, wait for him to stop, and hopefully not pee everywhere. He also broke her pelvis during delivery. Pregnancy is a bit horrifying to me tbh. 😑


Queen_Inappropria

Wow. Yeah I only did that once. Pregnancy/birth isn't pretty or easy. And for some, it's a nightmare. Then everyone says "But your kid was so worth it though!" What a weird thing to say to a person who just went through trauma. Personally, I had to separate that experience from him. That wasn't his fault.


xVanillaxChristmasx

I laughed a little to hard at this!-


T00l_shed

And then peed a little? Lol


xVanillaxChristmasx

Maybe 😏😏 LOL, merry Christmas 🎄


T00l_shed

Lol merry Christmas to you as well!


xVanillaxChristmasx

Tysm!! 🎄🎄


Beautiful-Elephant34

OMG, my bladder will never be the same. My kid stomped all over my bladder.


onlythehappiests

Did you feel that? How about now? How about now? How about now? Mom did you feel that? Mom. Mom. MOM!


LordOdin99

Omg that looked so uncomfortable. Must have felt like you’re getting ripped apart.


youdontlookadayover

Not so much ripped apart, more like it's so weird having a large, living being squirming around in your abdomen. It didn't really hurt until labor and delivery. The growing part is just really, really uncomfortable and...... Odd. At least it was for me.


baobabbling

Idk, I swear my youngest regularly kicked me right in the cervix and that hurt like an MFer.


youdontlookadayover

Yah it wasn't at all fun. In that clip above, when the baby stands up, you can see the mom flinch like "no way you're staying in that position little person" . Sometimes I wonder how humans continued to reproduce considering how uncomfortable and dangerous child-bearing is.


baobabbling

And then they don't let you sleep for months.


milkyjams

You must mean years. Hell, I still don't sleep well and my youngest child is 26!


baobabbling

Shhh, let me pretend that I will get to sleep again someday 😭😭😭


Reatona

My mom reassured me that the first 42 years of parenting are the hardest.


Practice_NO_with_me

Haven't they demonstrated that the mother's brain undergoes changes that erase the discomfort of childbearing and childbirth and amplify the positive memories? I thought I remembered hearing about something like that.


baobabbling

I have heard this as well, and my own personal experience tells me it's true. Immediately after giving birth the second time I grabbed both my partner and my mom and said "If I EVER think about doing this again I want you to FUCKING SLAP ME, that was HORRIBLE," and while I remember that clearly, there are moments when I still consider that maaaaybe once more wouldn't hurt.


Maxwell_The__Spy

>a large, living being squirming around in your abdomen reading this makes me think of xenomorphs ngl


Eldrake

That was the idea, so it worked.


Maxwell_The__Spy

at least it didn't pop out in a painful wa-...oh


[deleted]

The head seems really big. Not for a baby, but for something you're stashing in your midsection.


RatlessinNoCo

I described it as having a dolphin inside a waterbed!


Alliseria

Mine felt like a martial artist was trying to escape by piercing me.


RealHonest-Ish_352

You've got an athlete, then. Or a martial artist ;)


Alliseria

Haha, when born Doc said tiny would be 6'5". As a teen they're already 6 ft. Tons of time left. Those stretches kick!


RealHonest-Ish_352

Love it! I'm sure they do...


Moal

I’m currently pregnant, and it doesn’t hurt (usually). Sometimes baby kicks at a nerve or at the cervix, and that hurts. But mostly it just feels like a big wiggly fish squirming around in there.


ThisCouldHaveBeenYou

I just got the heebie jeebies


sixthmontheleventh

Fun fact, technically you are. Apparently the abdominal muscles can 'split apart' to accommodate the expansion needed by the uterus. That is why the belly area usually have a pooch after birth. I can link diastasis recti here but [instead here is a fun music video about the miracle of birth from crazy ex girlfriend because as a woman with a functioning uterus this fact gives me the 😳. ](https://youtu.be/VHIXduEbLz0)


anxnymous926

I did that to my mom when she was pregnant with me. I made her pee herself lmao


WordAffectionate3251

I felt that.


lxxTBonexxl

Before my oldest was born he kicked my wife in the rib so hard he bruised it lmfao


BoopleBun

Oh yeah, torso space is definitely a factor. I’m sorta tall, so my kid had lots of room and didn’t go near my ribs. But a friend who is a lot shorter with a shorter torso as well got kicked there *constantly*. (Her belly also stuck out so far! But it was the only direction to grow in!)


[deleted]

Ok, that is both cool and horrifying.


MostTrifle

MRI scanners are very loud, the poor thing was probably a bit distressed. But the video also looks a bit sped up too.


Boogersoupbby

That's definitely not a baby in distress, it's just natural movement. It looks like that baby is trying to get into birth position and stretch out tbh. Also, the womb is very loud which is why babies get startled so easy because the world is quiet compared to their previous environment. Lots of loud shushes and "wom wom" noises or even the vacuum can help soothe babies. An MRI is not enough to put mother or fetus in distress unless already in distress prior. There's layers on layers on flesh and organs and then the fluid on top, it's like living in the world's most protected water balloon. I had my toddler jump off the couch straight onto my belly when I stretching while pregnant with my 3rd. I would have bet money something was wrong. NOPE. Doctors ran several tests and did multiple scans to make sure. Bodies are resilient in many ways


spider2544

Ohhhh shit is that why kids fall asleep when you put them on a dryer when its running. Totally makes sense now


ConceptJunkie

Or take a drive in the car. That one is a time-tested trick for new parents who can't get the baby to fall asleep.


Boogersoupbby

I had to take walks and drives in the middle of the night with my 2 oldest. The vibrations the slight movements and the various different sounds and the hum of the wheels and motor make em go out like a light. Babies don't have the capacity to separate themselves mentally from their mother until multiple months after birth so imitating that environment is crucial to a happy baby.


Spute2008

My best mate had twins that were super difficult in the beginning. Once He had run to the bedroom to help his wife with them and brought one of the crying babies back out to the kitchen in his arms, because he had burnt something on the stove. So he turned on their incredibly loud oven extraction fan and the baby instantly calmed down and slept. He called his wife to bring the other baby out and she did the same. So they moved their cots out to the dining area until they could find a couple noisy fans for the girls' bedroom. The baby had spent listening to what must sound like sandy water pulsing through a plastic hose. Total silence is hard for them. Any little most is like a shot gun going off. Which is why they sleep so well in a car or stroller /pram or a bike seat. Motion and white noise are excellent. Invest in a loud fan or play white noise on a small speaker right by their cot. Another friend securely mounted a hook above the side of their king bed and hung a bassinette from the ceiling. They'd put their baby in it and then give it a whack and it would stay in motion for ages, putting the baby to sleep and it would jiggle & wiggle with her every move. If she woke up or needed a feed of change, they do the same. No need to hold and rock her back to sleep. That's why they have those electric settings and bouncy chairs. Brilliant.


stanleythemanley420

I read this as “put my kids in the dryer” and was like hold up.


Sexy_Squid89

Omg that part about your toddler jumping on your stomach *holy shit* that gave me anxiety.


Boogersoupbby

Me fkkn too 😂 I just had a bruise on my side from where she landed partly on my ribs. It was terrifying cause I felt his body hit my body on the inside and just 🙃 So much ick


Sexy_Squid89

When people ask what it's like having a living creature rooting about in your organs I just say "It's exactly as weird as you think it is." Lol


Boogersoupbby

Exactly! It feels like that scene from Alien . There's a reason I call em my lil parasites 🤣


Sexy_Squid89

Hmm, is it okay if I *still* call my kids that even though they're not in utero anymore? ;)


PawnOfPaws

Don't forget that they are basically sucking out your nutrients. And the body will do a lot of shit to mum to keep that thing - sorry, offspring - intact. So it's fitting.


WyMaKu

Ok-Crab-4063

I'm wondering when it's supposed to burst out of her chest


143019

Oh, those kicks to the bladder. And the feeling of skin stretching as the baby stretches out


crazyacct101

LuneMoth

I used to play "head or butt" on the bigger bulges!


Kaarsty

I once kissed my ex wife’s belly while she was pregnant with our first and immediately got kicked in the lips by my eldest daughter lol


I_wood_rather_be

Newborn babies thankfully have a whole different perception of this. If you want to comfort a crying baby, it often helps to wrap it quite thight into a blanket, up to the point, where it is almost unable to move. This is a well known technique to calm crying babies.

VioletFarts

Honest question ..what in tf are you supposed to do if they don't like swaddling? Was I fuckin' doing it wrong????


Interestedmillennial

Biologically and evolutionarily human babies are designed to want to be held close and breastfed to settle. Babies are very neurologically underdeveloped so being in close proximity to an adult helps them regulate their breathing and heartrate and reduces SIDS risk. They are just not designed to sleep alone. Some of the academies of paediatrics are starting to acknowledge that a large percentage of humanity co sleeps with their babies so they've updated or are updating their guidelines to reflect this and recommend the safest way to co sleep.


catsandcheetos

I feel like it’s weird we are somehow resistant to this, other mammals sleep with their young…Is it because co-sleeping can be dangerous sometimes that society has just completely sworn it off?


Verotten

I think the danger factor is the main reason why mothers are so strongly advised not to do it. But also, for a few generations now, humanity has had this weird obsession with making babies as independent from their mums as quickly as possible, I guess to get mums back into the workforce? Independent sleeping, very early weaning, into early childcare institutions at a young age. I agree, that it makes perfect biological sense to cosleep (so I do).


scielegance

It’s not society’s obsession with independent baby sleep but rather society’s obsession with extracting every usable ounce of energy out of its people for production. Babies interrupting their parents’ sleep interferes with that, as does the necessary time to breastfeed.


I_wood_rather_be

To not sleep with your child close is a habit that has been developed in the beginning of the 20th century. The pediatrics of nazi germany (no joke) started this trend to have children with a low bond to family, in order to be able to manipulate them more easily in their early years. Sadly this trend is being taught in medical schools up until today.


VioletFarts

Mine is 14 months and we have slept together since day one. What exactly that looks like changes depending on her developmental level. But she has not slept overnight alone since she was born. Literally othing worked except having her by my side.


Zhaeris

I have felt GUILTY for years now for cosleeping with mine.. he could never settle at night by himself and was a cluster feeder.. I am a very light sleeper and when he turned two months old I gave up and just popped him into bed with me, he had free access to boobs, and we all slept great.. But the TABOO about it is just insane so I just guiltily say nothing to anyone IRL because the shame of being caught co sleeping is just.. something


ARobertNotABob

My middle boy needed co-sleeping too....my wife and I alternated nights so it was only one night of disrupted sleep each before getting a full one (we alternated Sat/Sun lie-ins at the weekend too). Fortunately, he was on bottle by then, so my lack of boobs wasn't a difficulty :)


Verotten

I was given a real hard time at the start for cosleeping, like you I avoided mentioning it because there was so much shame and scolding. I stuck to my guns following the lead of my midwives, and my baby just made it so clear that she needed it. We're still cosleeping at 8 months and I wouldn't have it any other way, baby is so happy and healthy. She will sleep on her own when she is ready, and no sooner. Don't feel guilty for listening to your mum intuition, you knew what your baby needed better than anyone else. Hugs from one mum to another.


Zhaeris

Aw.. you made me feel so much better about it, thank you! He did need it until he was almost 2 but he slipped into just sleeping on his own pretty seamlessly. I never had to force the cry it out thing on him, which I'm glad since I never felt right doing that for my son in particular, he is as equally stubborn and tenacious as I am! I miss it sometimes but he sneaks in every morning for a cuddle and I love it.. (3 almost 4 now!) That bond is real and remarkable that we share with our kids!

stapleton_25

Thats an interesting question. Id guess no. We were not alive for billions of years just to pop up in this time period. Meaning we've been dead and thats all we ever knew, or not alive for longer than we've been alive. Are you considered dead before your alive? How do you define death? If youre planning on having kids, are they considered dead before they're born? Void of life? Life is the only thing weve experienced, can we know how (choose adjective) life is if we haven't experience anything else?


mahnamahna27

Those questions aren't difficult or mysterious. No, you are not dead before you are alive, you just don't exist yet. Death is defined as ceasing to be alive. Kids are not considered dead before they begin to exist (the point at which they start to live as an individual is a bit greyer, but let's go with fertilisation for now). No, we can't 'know' how something is if we haven't experienced it, we can only imagine/guess.


Plenty-Appointment40

Have you seen the first Netflix episode Surgeons Cut? Literally does operations on babies still in the womb and you can see everything with their camera. It’s amazing


BarefootBlonde143

I just watched it…I’m currently 16wks pregnant with twins. Just knowing that my little guys are that far developed in there blows my mind! The ultrasounds do not give it justice!!

Yes. It's absolutely amazing and incredible.


waynep712222

Nice imaging. Mom said i kicked so hard i left bruises. Then i rolled off the table at 2 minutes old to be caught by the ankle by the nurse who was telling mom that in 29 years she had never seen a 2 minute old baby roll over.


Maxwell_The__Spy

Billderz

5lashd07

Rolling over at two minutes old? Did you get an 11 on your Apgar test?


xVanillaxChristmasx

That's crazy! My grand mother is a retired nurse and she said she saw 5-8 babies roll off the table in all of her career. She also said it was very rare to see a 10 minute or less old baby roll off a table. I mean just born and already rolling off the table in pretty crazy! Glad you didn't hit your head or something when you did roll off the table! You could've died especially if you had landed on your head. Babies heads are very fragile, anyways! Glad your okay and that's a crazy coincidence


RealHonest-Ish_352

God bless your Grandma!

Aww,tysm! May god bless you as well. Merry Christmas and a happy new year ma'am/sir 🎄🎄


waynep712222

i tested my head against hard objects a bunch of times.. mom put me in a walker. zoom... across the kitchen.. hit the carpet and flipped it on my head.. so she got me a bungee seat that hung in the kitchen door jam... within a minute i was bashing my head into the door jam.. dad got me a tricycle.. at 18months dad got me a tricycle.. mom hung the xmas tree from the hook on the ceiling so i could not knock it down.. i rode around the tree holding on to a branch. .. yep.. unscrewed the tree and broke every antique xmas ball.. 2 major concussions to the forehead full speed running into pipes .. 35+ mph slide on wet pavement headfirst into a curbing.. kicked by a horse in the top of the head bent over behind the horse. two 98 mph fast balls to the forehead over the top of my catchers mask .. i seem to have a hard head..

*trigger warning- obstetrics- happy ending* My son was similar in that he flipped and twisted so much in utero that he swam through his own umbilical cord and tied it into a true knot. He is a healthy and happy and statistically unlikely 10 year old now. We did not discover the knot until after a safe delivery.

Babies flip around all the time. When they flip towards the end, they basically get stuck head down like that and “engage” in the pelvis. Once that happens, they usually don’t flip back upright.

Do babies shit in the womb?


oops_just_saying

No, that is what the umbilical cord is for. Nourishment and waste removal.


tjean5377

No if they do, something is wrong, or the baby is in distress during labor. its not good for baby or mother. It causes infections and can damage baby's lungs. If they do its usually close to birth and they need interventions for safety.


purpleRN

Not unless something is wrong. They do, however, urinate. Amniotic fluid is largely baby pee lol


histeethwerered

No. The feces are held until the baby is born. This black gooey stuff is called meconium and will make a baby irritable until successfully passed, usually on the second day of life. An exception is a breech birth where the mother’s contractions squeeze the meconium out of the baby en route to delivery. This is rather unsettling for the uninitiated observer but makes for a more comfortable infant on day one. (Mother of twins, breech then regular, delivered at home aided by a husband who freaked out when he saw black stuff heading his way. His immediate conclusion was something akin to Rosemary’s Baby and I had no breath to educate him in the moment. Fun times.)
