Braxton Hicks... Yun Pala Yun!

Happened early Saturday morning... Biglang may bumukol na matigas na matigas na spot (parang dalawang kalamansi ang laki) sa tiyan ko. Imposibleng siko or sipa ni Potling dahil masyado pa siyang maliit. Sabi ng nanay ko, si Potling daw yun, nag-iinat o nagra-rambo. Wala raw problema basta hindi matagal ang paninigas. Kinilig ako!

Kinuwento ko kay Kleyr. Ang sabi niya, malamang - BRAXTON HICKS.

So binasa ko ito:

Oo nga! Yun pala yun! At sigurado akong naglilikot nga ang Potling!

Your pregnancy: 11 weeks

From: BabyCenter

How your baby's growing:

Your baby, just over 1 1/2 inches long and about the size of a fig, is now almost fully formed. Her hands will soon open and close into fists, tiny tooth buds are beginning to appear under her gums, and some of her bones are beginning to harden.

She's already busy kicking and stretching, and her tiny movements are so effortless they look like water ballet. These movements will become more frequent as her body grows and becomes more developed and functional. You won't feel your baby's acrobatics for another month or two — nor will you notice the hiccupping that may be happening now that her diaphragm is forming.

See what your baby looks like this week.

Note: Every baby develops a little differently — even in the womb. Our information is designed to give you a general idea of your baby's development.

Amnio-Present

Somewhere between 2:00 AM - 2:15 AM... Potling made his/her amnio-presence felt!

It didn't feel like gas at all.

There were swirling, throbbing and fluttering movements from Q4 (think Math quadrants) of my lower abdominal area.

The dancing-kicking-rolling - whatever it was - lasted for more than 10 minutes.

I felt my skin stretchhhhh to accommodate the big movements (parang theater!) of the little one.

Proud Dadda said - baka nagtatayo na yan ng gym sa loob!

I thought of ... Russian sommersaults.








God is good.
