I'm sorry you experienced that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-mind-people-touchingrubbing-your-belly#post-2803836 Tue, 13 Feb 2018 03:18:51 +0000 ElbieKay 2803836@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hell. No.</p> <p>The only people who can touch my belly are my husband and son (almost 4yo). They don't have to ask.</p> <p>My MIL tried to help herself during my pregnancy with my son. I was pretty shocked that she would not ask first and did not react very nicely. She really caught me off guard.</p> <p>I think it is extremely presumptuous to touch someone's belly without permission, regardless of what is in her uterus. It is still my belly even if I am pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-mind-people-touchingrubbing-your-belly#post-2803776 Mon, 12 Feb 2018 19:51:06 +0000 Crystal_2018 2803776@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. D: I totally feel you I was 8 months pregnant when I went to the grocery store and then out of nowhere a woman came from behind me and rubbed my belly! I told her to stop but she continuously rubbed it anyway. After that I backed away but I was so huge that I lost my balance and fell backwards. It was so embarrassing! The same lady helped me up and without asking if I was OK she continuously rubbed by belly and kept rubbing rubbing and rubbing. Eventually more men and woman surrounded me and started rubbing my pregnant belly. After that I yelled at all of them really loud and they kept quiet and walked away. The whole time I was driving home my belly started hurting and felt really uncomfortable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fall-on-belly#post-2054495 Wed, 04 Feb 2015 17:25:55 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 2054495@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@macintosh: this happened to me. I was 24 weeks, and I fell down a hill while walking and landed on my belly. I was on vacation at the time, but I called the on-call midwife at home. She said to lie down, and time movements for an hour. If I felt anything was wrong after that, to go get checked out.</p> <p>Just saw you updated- so glad everything is okay! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fall-on-belly#post-2054365 Wed, 04 Feb 2015 16:05:49 +0000 caitlanc 2054365@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Glad to hear all is well! (I probably would have done the same.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fall-on-belly#post-2053934 Wed, 04 Feb 2015 12:44:48 +0000 macintosh 2053934@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I want to thank you all for your advice. Contrary to what many of you suggested, I didn't call or go in. I was more exhausted and in need of rest than I was worried.</p> <p>I realized that the "cramping" was probably just due to the giant portion of spaghetti that I ate for dinner :wink: </p> <p>My mom reassured me and later in the night baby was kicking so hard I could see my belly move. It was like he was saying "I'm ok Mom, I'm still good in here!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fall-on-belly#post-2053919 Wed, 04 Feb 2015 12:38:39 +0000 Trailmix 2053919@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I fell several times during my pregnancy and every time, they had me come in. Be warned, if you go in to be monitored, they will keep you for at least 3-4 hours. I'd call, better to be on the overly cautious side! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fall-on-belly#post-2053848 Wed, 04 Feb 2015 12:07:45 +0000 ValentineMommy 2053848@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would. A good friend did a similar thing a few days ago and she ended up being admitted overnight. Luckily everything was fine, but I'm sure she felt much better having it checked out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fall-on-belly#post-2053818 Wed, 04 Feb 2015 11:56:11 +0000 cascademom 2053818@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would call. I fell with LO's pregnancy. This pregnancy, I feel twice within a span of a week. Before Christmas, I went to my doctor's office for a piece of mind. They did a doppler check on LO while looking at my face. I had some bruising on my nose from one of the falls. Since then, I don't go on step stools or carry LO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fall-on-belly#post-2053305 Wed, 04 Feb 2015 00:05:10 +0000 youboots 2053305@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I vote call. I fell flat on my stomach hard, on gravel at a photo shoot 24 weeks along. I went to L&amp;D per my OB to be monitored and was there for 4 hours, everything was just fine. It was my understanding that baby is better protected at that point. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fall-on-belly#post-2053297 Tue, 03 Feb 2015 23:58:27 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2053297@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I personally wouldn't, but I am not much of a worrier.</p> <p>If you feel uneasy, then you should at least call. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fall-on-belly#post-2053221 Tue, 03 Feb 2015 22:36:51 +0000 owlmom 2053221@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I fell on my belly at 36 weeks. It happened on a Saturday morning, so I didn't do anything about it because the baby was still moving. I worried about it all day and finally called my OB's after hours line that evening, and they had me go to the hospital to be checked. The nurses and doctors all scolded me for not calling immediately. I ended up being monitored for 24 hours. Everything was fine, and you likely are too, but I would definitely call! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fall-on-belly#post-2053208 Tue, 03 Feb 2015 22:17:47 +0000 PrincessBaby 2053208@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@macintosh: I think if you landed on a cushioned seat, and it doesn't sound like there was a lot of force, you are fine. Especially when baby is moving. You can call the on-call ob to ask for things to look for, but I wouldn't go to the ER, and I'd be shocked if they directed you to do so. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fall-on-belly#post-2053196 Tue, 03 Feb 2015 21:53:29 +0000 catomd00 2053196@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't worry about it if you're still feeling baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fall-on-belly#post-2053164 Tue, 03 Feb 2015 21:27:49 +0000 Mrs. Bee 2053164@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i went in after a pretty bad fall on the side of my stomach when i was like 37 weeks? i was sure i was fine but i think mr. bee told me to go in. for sure give your doctor a call and check on baby's movements! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fall-on-belly#post-2053142 Tue, 03 Feb 2015 21:05:50 +0000 MrsRcCar 2053142@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@macintosh: I would call just to be sure. I was supee nervous with both of my pregancies. I hope everything is ok. Has the baby been moving? :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fall-on-belly#post-2053139 Tue, 03 Feb 2015 21:03:27 +0000 blackbird 2053139@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would call the after hours number mostly to see if there were signs I should watch for. </p> <p>I fell down the stairs a few weeks ago and it scared me, mostly!! But everything was fine </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fall-on-belly#post-2053136 Tue, 03 Feb 2015 21:01:03 +0000 jetsa 2053136@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@macintosh: Id call but I got in a car accident around that time last time and the dr office said as long as I could still feel baby moving and had no red discharge it was fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fall-on-belly#post-2053135 Tue, 03 Feb 2015 21:00:40 +0000 HappyBaker 2053135@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd call - I fell at 37 weeks and they had me come in. They did a blood test and an ultrasound to make sure nothing ruptured and though it felt like overkill it made me feel a thousand times better to know everything was ok. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fall-on-belly#post-2053129 Tue, 03 Feb 2015 20:55:11 +0000 FaithFertility 2053129@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@macintosh: I'd go, I'm sure all is well!!! But I was a nervous Nelly PG! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fall-on-belly#post-2053125 Tue, 03 Feb 2015 20:45:35 +0000 macintosh 2053125@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was hoping you guys would say no, lol! My mom said she wouldn't worry. I feel like I'll be super nervous if I don't do something, but I have to work early tomorrow :sad: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fall-on-belly#post-2053123 Tue, 03 Feb 2015 20:43:54 +0000 spaniellove 2053123@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never hurts to go and get checked. Just to be sure! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fall-on-belly#post-2053122 Tue, 03 Feb 2015 20:43:38 +0000 pinkb 2053122@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At the very least I would call my OB after hours. They are usually very cautious, so I would probably end up being told to get checked out at the ER. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fall-on-belly#post-2053117 Tue, 03 Feb 2015 20:41:34 +0000 MsMini 2053117@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would, if only for my peace of mind. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fall-on-belly#post-2053115 Tue, 03 Feb 2015 20:40:50 +0000 macintosh 2053115@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I sort of fell on my belly while reaching into my car when I got home from work. My feet slipped and landed with my stomach on the driver's seat.</p> <p>I know that the baby is well protected by the amniotic sac, but I have been feeling a little crampy since it happened. I can feel baby moving, still.</p> <p>I'm 26 weeks. If you were me, would you go get checked out? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-got-belly-flab-and-returning-to-work-next-week#post-848645 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 15:41:47 +0000 LuLu Mom 848645@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wear Spanx all the time, I think they are comfy and make me feel better about getting stuff "smooth" I also am required to wear nylons every day and control top do help do this as well! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-got-belly-flab-and-returning-to-work-next-week#post-848619 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 15:36:17 +0000 FancyGem 848619@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Spanx seemed to push everything to the front and gave me a round pooch. I had to buy things that didn't hug my stomach. I understand where you are coming from. I lost all of my baby weight and I am just getting my shape back (15 m pp). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-got-belly-flab-and-returning-to-work-next-week#post-848497 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 15:09:20 +0000 SupernovaJ 848497@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>did you hear about jessica alba and her double corset craziness? whatever you try, good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-got-belly-flab-and-returning-to-work-next-week#post-845006 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 13:15:44 +0000 silver1 845006@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>thanks ladies for your kind words I will come back again to read your posts monday morning to give me some confidence :-)<br /> Looks like spanks and some new outfits are in order :-) although I don't think DH would approve much of my new wardrobe!!
