Can anyone relate?

Okay today I was in the shower and I was washing my hair and I noticed it was causing alot of discomfort in my belly. I also noticed last night I was reaching on the top of my fridge and I felt the same discomfort. It's really sore to lift my arms over my head. Does this happen to anyone else?

hi ladies, if you cant lift your arms over your head, how do you get things out of your kichen cupboards as they are all above your head. ehhhhhh

I am 15 weeks 2 days today and I can't wait to see my little one again this Tues. I am hoping I can find out the sex of my baby even though I know some people who found out at 4 months and others at 6 so I am not sure when I will find out. How far a long are you?

That if you reach up over you head that it will cause the baby's umbilical cord to wrap around the babies neck and it would choke the baby. But hey if you don't want to be my guest I mean it is better safe then sorry right.

Thanks ladies for the input. It helps me so much. So darkestlight should I bend my head down. I knew that you weren't supposed to further along in pg but even now too?

I heard that that was just a wives tale on a show on the discovery health channel.

They actually say you shouldnt reach over your head while you are pregnant. Can cause the cord to stretch or wrap or something like that.
