Morning mama's to be-

I'm sure everyones exhausted after teh super bowl?? :laugh:

Hubby had to work late and I decided to make it a Spa night...Tried to paint my toes and found out the very hard way that I can't see my toes, I can't breathe when I bend over and my belly is so big that I eneded up with nail polish everywhere but my toes!

Belly seems to have grown again, the baby boy is getting very hard to get around with and I seem to be moving slower and slower. I haven't felt any contractions but tehn again I'm not sure what I'm suppose to be feeling? I just keep feeling that pelvic/ligament pain and it's getting worse the bigger he gets! :frown:

Have a doctors apt this afternoon & I have to meet with my pediatrician, he wants to set have my file transferred over and set up and appt for the day after I'm released to double check the baby.

I just read Elce's birth story...wow! Amazing...it's so true that every experience is SO different, you never know what to expect! I'm so glad she was able to make it to the birth centre on time! Can't wait to see pics of that sweet baby boy Dallas!

So my weekend was pretty good - had more BH contractions all throughout the weekend and thought yesterday was the day for a bit...I had had contractions the night before but they stopped around 11pm and that was that....then Sunday we went for breakfast with my parents at 10:30 and I had a couple at the table but not too bad - then I realized after that walking wasn't so bad! It was like Mason had moved off the nerve on my right side or something, I could walk with so much less pain! So my husband and I decided to go run some errands so that I could walk while the walkin' was good! lol we went to home depot and superstore and got some things done and it felt good then we got home and I was ready for a nap...we laid down in bed and I fell asleep for about an hour....then I started having contractions around 3pm and they were pretty consistent but then stopped entirely around 4pm - so I figured ok well it's nothing...I talked to my mom and she was getting excited and said that I was probably in early labour...I told her not to get her hopes up so Jay and I decided to go for dinner to this amazing new poutine restaurant lol yep it's true they have nothing but different types of poutine on the menu! It was AWESOME haha. Anyway no contractions everything is fine and then on the drive home they start again, and are pretty regular seemingly one after the other. They lasted until about 10:30 pm and then completely stopped again....I had a really good sleep last night though which is nice and then this morning nothing again...so who knows really what the heck is going on lol!

I read in my "Natural hospital birth" book that it's completely normal to have a few false labours up to the real deal and that it's just your body getting ready for the main event - it was funny that she said in the book many women start feeling embarrassed like they are "crying wolf" and then end up ignoring the real labour because they don't want to "cry wolf" again - it's funny because I was definitely starting to feel like that, especially because my mom, dad, sister and Jay's parents keep checking in now and wondering how I'm doing and if this is "really it" haha...oh well - I'll try my best to not ignore the contractions the next time they come - my parents leave for Hawaii on Friday so I'm really hoping he decides to make his grand entrance before then! But I know it's just beyond my control, a girl can hope though

We have another skype breastfeeding class tonight so that's good - and my next Dr appt is Thursday - so we'll see what happens

Anyway, that's my update - sorry it's so long

Hope everyone is having a great Monday morning!

Hi ladies - I'm new to the group and thought I'd say hello to all of the 3rd trimester women out there! I wish I had found this group sooner. I'm at week 34 and cannot believe how fast this pregnancy has gone. This is my second child. My first will be 3 1/2 by the time this one arrives! We're told it's a girl so we've prepped for such but we're going in with back-up names, etc. just in case the ultrasound techs made a mistake!

So today I'm feeling great though a little tired, which I think had more to do with the Superbowl party we threw at our house last night than my actual pregnancy. But I have to ask...does anyone ever feel an enormous amount of pressure under your belly, along the pelvic area? I've been getting increasing pressure. One of the Dr's in my group says this is normal for a second pregnancy because I've already been a "baby hammock" before. I was just curious if anyone else ever feels that. Other than that, the baby is moving around like crazy on a regular basis! I cannot wait to meet my little one.

I hope all of you have a great day.

yeap yeap!! this is my first and as I've grown the pain seems to have gotten more intense. My doctor told me is was my pelvis spreading along with my ligaments - just my body's way of saying that it was almost time. He said the closer I got to my due date the more intense the pain.

it's pretty tolerable, except when I have to go to the bathroom and then I can't stand it!!

Denise! That's so exciting!! So you have less than a month left! Good job on the ketones. Glad you're doing well!
Oh and I totally hear you on not being able to bend over without being uncomfortable. Haha! I haven't tried painting my toes, but I'm sure it'd be difficult because tying my gym shoes is sometimes pretty hard. lol I've resorted to pedi's for my feet.

Hi ladies. Sad day for me today...hit 35 pounds gained...and I still have 8 weeks left. Mind you I haven't gotten much exercise in this past week. I'm SO tired lately...like fall-asleep-on-the-couch-when-I-get-home-from-work tired. I think I'm going to try to focus on doing more yoga for these last weeks. Too bad it isn't nicer out...I would love to go for some walks. But it's nice and cold and snowy again, so probably won't be happening. Oh well.

Well...sorry for complaining...just frustrating when I'm already at the weight I wanted to gain for the whole pregnancy! Bummer.

Sounds like we're all having a rough morning! Geezz.... :indifferent:

Didn't sleep much last night and I can't help and then all these crazy thoughts started. I tried to talk to the hubby but he was dead exhausted (9 days of 12 hr shifts :sick: )

I'm 8.75 months pregnant and I want to go dancing, I want to feel beautiful, I want to go out with my GF's and have a drink...I want to have a wonderful night on the town iwth my hubby and my feet not hurt, me not waddle, get naseaus by the smells and not have to worry about eating seafood that has to much mercury!!

I'm thinking that with this baby being aroudn the corner that perhaps I'm just freaking out and missing some of my old life? We went from having an extremely active lifestyle to being homebodys for the last 8.75 months....

Anyone else felt this way?? Is it me or the hormones???

hello mommies!


Something tells me Misti might have had Aspyn she is MIA.

Denise- I feel like that sometimes especially around parties, i miss my alcohol indulging days.

Heather-Nice to hear your appt went good. How awesome on your massage.

Rayna- You are very accomplished, kudos!!

Jessica- Can't wait to see the pictures of the room.

Kristin- We're homebodies too. Not that we have tons of mutual friends the hubby & I, but I watch Tv with them or read while they watch TV.


AFM: It so funny I have similar issues as Kristy, must be our girls lol. My tailbone is in pain, and I didn't get contractions last night but felt some pain this morning.

I am finally trainning at work, so if next week is the big week so be it!

We still need to install the car seat, yeah we are lagging.


~Brenda~37 weeks today!!

Good morning ladies!

Eight weeks from today I will be a Mommy of Two!!! SO excited!!

Our friends just had their second baby girl yesterday via c-section and we are excited to go see them tonight! Getting that baby fever! And starting to feel the nesting urge...started cleaning out things last night...and hoping to accomplish a lot more...I guess that's a good thing! This weekend I had a baby shower to go to, and want to do some rearranging in our basement. Lots to do!

Did some yoga last night. And planning to do the same tonight. Also would like to start walking on the treadmill if I ever have the energy (which is very rare these days).

Well...hope you are all well. Will try and catch up on personals later!

Morning ladies-

Thanks for all the support. You guys are greatness!! Feeling much better today!!

Congrats to Rayna!! I knew that the baby was coming early but what a surprise and your parents were here to see it I'm sure!!

Dr's appt tomorrow!

so had my dr. appointment and no real big progression from last weeks appointment. last friday i was 1cm and today i was around 1.5...so its definitely still a waiting game. i just really wanted him to come early...and i know i could stay this way for a while but am really starting to get anxious. i need to tone it down and just expect a wait.

decided i am going for a pedicure after work...need some nice relaxation!!!!

Awww, don't get disappointed! That baby will be here before you know it!! Enjoy your pedicure & try to enjoy some "me" time while you still can!
