I can’t say how many times I’ve heard that every preg­nancy is dif­fer­ent. Well — every­one who has told me that is absolutely and com­pletely right. I can vouch for them with my own first hand account. From the begin­ning this preg­nancy has been dif­fer­ent. Now in my third trimester (as I type this I’m 29 weeks) I am really start­ing to feel uncom­fort­able. Plus, I have this really weird thing going on. It’s a bit embar­rass­ing, but I’m going to put it out there for the world to see, because I know I’m not alone in this, and well if my crazy symp­toms can help another expec­tant mother than woo hooooo!!!

I’m Vibrat­ing. Yes, you read cor­rectly. I am vibrat­ing. This past Sun­day, I was sit­ting on my couch veg­e­tat­ing and I started to feel this weird vibrat­ing sen­sa­tion in my pelvic area. So I asked my hus­band if he felt it too. He paused, and said “What?” At which point I told him that the house was vibrat­ing; he paused again, this time it was one of those long sorta pauses where he was half try­ing to deter­mine if I was actu­ally feel­ing some­thing or just loos­ing my mind. When he finally responded he told me that the house wasn’t vibrat­ing. Know­ing that I was feel­ing the “house” vibrate, I stood up and quickly real­ized that I was the one who was vibrat­ing. Yes. I not only can grow babies, but as a result I can also vibrate. This weird and in NO WAY sex­ual sen­sa­tion con­tin­ued all of Sun­day, and into Mon­day, when a wor­ried hus­band called me to see how I was feel­ing. Upon my telling him that I was still hum­ming (my new found way of describ­ing the sen­sa­tion so that other non-vibrators could under­stand) and that I was now hav­ing some trou­ble walk­ing. He got wor­ried and told me to call my doc­tor, I did, and soon learned that my lit­tle baby has made him­self so com­fort­able inside of me that he’s sat upon a nerve. As I type this whilst I vibrate, I truly hope he’s com­fort­able and happy. For now, I’ve resigned myself to this new symp­tom and will live with this annoy­ance — ’cause boy it is an annoy­ing sen­sa­tion — espes­cially when it keeps me up at night! And yet… how many peo­ple can say that they can vibrate? I know they’re out there — I just haven’t met any of them yet!
