OMG, wishing you a healthy baby and mommy! :flowerforyou: I would find out to if I was in your shoes!

Yup, I'm in the "not finding out" group! :laugh: This is my 2nd and with my 1st it was a surprise to. It's so cool when you are in labor. It's like Christmas Eve, you're just so excited to open your gift and see what you got. :noway: The thing that I was not expecting when my son was born was when they said "it's a boy" I…

Welcome all the new ladies! Update: So I've been working super hard on this GD stuff. My Dr said that my numbers look great but I have to get my fasting numbers under control. My fasting numbers have been about 95 and they need to be 60-90. I started walking more and really watching it. I woke up and took my fasting…

Bump

My bp is always super low, this is normal for me. I'm really happy because I had pre e with DS and my BP was super high. The lowerer the better! I have a follow up next Thursday.

I just laughed when reading this. Sorry, I know it's annoying to read my posts. My poor DH is SOOOO sick of hearing me ***** about my weight. It's just hard. It took so long to get to a point that I was happy with the scale and preggo or not it's hard to see that number go up. :sad: About cals in vs out stuff. I love this…

Welcome! This board is great for helping you keep tabs on your eating while expecting and just over all advice.

Thanks for the well wishes everyone. Honeslty I'm so frustrated with this weight gain! I'm logging, counting EVERYTHING and I'm still gaining! WTH? I know the baby needs me to gain but I was really hoping that it would be slower with logging. The only thing that I can think of is carbs. I normaly don't eat a ton of carbs…

Well yesterday was a very scary day for me. I had the day off and was doing a lot of running around. DS and I were out in the yard and I was pulling weeds and what not. I didn't really eat much and was feeling "off". So I put DS down for his nap and went to lay down. My heart was beating really hard, I was sweating and…

Hmmm interesting. I personally don't do well on that stuff. I had it for a tooth once and FREAKED OUT. :noway: So I'll stick with my epidural again. That was awesome. I had a great dr. put it in so I was only numb from my stomach to the top of my legs. I could still feel pressure but not pain. I also could move my legs. It…

Welcome! This is a great place to start. My story is close to yours but the other way around. With DS I put on a lot of weight. Total of 50 pounds and it took me 2 1/2 years to get it off. This also is baby number 2 for me except this time I have been using this site the whole time. So far I'm 26 weeks and up 19 which I…

Thanks Anne! I needed to hear that today! I just got into it with this lady in my building because she told me I'm "to sensitive to comments about my pregnancy." WTF?! Really? I said "We'll I can honestly say that I don't know ONE women that is expecting that is ok when someone points out that she is "huge" or "small" or…

I support you! I am also going to be induced if my baby doesn't come by my due date. I was induced with ds and it was fine. My whole labor was 9 hrs and I pushed 3 times and he was out. You need to do what's best for you. We are all here to support each other so I'm sure no one will judge you. :flowerforyou:

I just got back from my hair apt and had my first "omg I'm huge!" moment. I caught a glance of myself in the mirror and was like oh good lord that's me!? Now i'm depressed. How am I going to last 3 more months! Oh and I had ANOTHER person today tell me how big I am, that it's hot out ( no sh@t) and I have a long way to go.…

I've heard that to! I'll be praying for ya! Hey, has anyone ever told you you look like Rachel McAdams (she was in the Notebook, Wedding Crashers, and The time travelers wife)?

My LO kicks the doppler every time to! So funny!:laugh: We are paying to have a 4d ultrasound next week. I'm so excited! What state do you live in? I LOVE being pregnant in summer and I just saw you and I are a couple of weeks apart (didn't really realize that till now lol!) I had DS in April and I hated it! The winters in…

It's been rough not knowing. With DS it really didn't matter cause it was my first. But this is our last and I really want to know! But my DH was pretty firm that he wanted it to be a surprise so I caved and we didn't find out. I have a 4d ultrasound next Friday so that should be interesting! I can't wait to see my LO!…

Rach- I love the pics sooooo cute! Good job! This time I'm waiting till after the baby comes because I want a gender specific room. We don't know what we are having so I'm waiting to do it till after lo comes. Now that I have 13 wks and nothing done, I'm starting to regret that choice! :laugh:

Ick. Thinking about my fil seeing my vajaja makes me want to vomit. :embarassed: I would tell your ds to take care of that. My mil was "really hurt" that I wouldn't let her in the roon and my response was "sorry not gonna happen." yuck I didn't even want my dh looking down there with my ds. It's not pretty but also…

Thanks for those who have asked. Doing good! No swelling or anything and it's been 90 here so I'm impressed with that! I honestly have not checked my BP cause I don't want to GIVE myself high bp worrying about it. Also long as my weight's been steady (we'll see this week) and no swelling, I'm not going to worry about it.…

I agree! I had DS in April and that summer was aweful! I was hot, fat, sleep deprived and nursing. Not fun. I live in WI so we have like 7 months of snow. So when summer comes you are out and gone every weekend. Didn't really work so well with a newborn. I'm glad I'm due in Oct because they baby will be sleeping, nursing…

:laugh: Edit* I meant to hit :noway: not :laugh: just so you don't think I have a twisted sense of humor lol!

:laugh: i don't know about the bigger baby question. I do have girl friend who is pretty small and they let her go almost 2 weeks past her due date. Her daughter was almost 11 pounds and the whole thing almost killed them both. Since then she has had 2 more babies and have been induced both times cause she grows em big.…

I had the same thing happen yesterday. I was working with a patient (who is 350) and talking to him about his sleep apnea. I was explaining the equipment and said "well this belt is going to go here, but it will fit different because you're not almost 7 months pregnant, ha ha." And he goes, " Yeah, well that's true but my…

Yeah, DS says it freaks him out that the baby is "right there". Whatever. It's only 40 weeks right?!:laugh: Joonzgurl-Me to! I'm SO freaked out to get pre e again! On another note, I'm REALLY having a hard time with my weight gain in the last couple of weeks. I've gained like 5 pounds since June 16th! :noway: I'm concerned…

OMG, that made me laugh so hard! :laugh: When I was expecting DS I couldn't get my husband to touch me with a ten foot pole. He was always concerned about the baby. I was like "THE BABY IS FINE! STOP FLATTERING YOURSELF, YOU'RE NOT THAT BIG!" LOL! No one ever tells you that part of pregnancy though! This time around it…

Rach- YAY about your BP that's great! So glad to hear that! I'm hoping my next visit she says the same. It was a little up for me at my last appt and they are going to watch it. I'm trying not to worry cause that will just make it worse! :wink: I'm feeling better today, not 100% but better. Thanks ladies for all the…

Yea it wasn't bad. I didn't feel "sick" or anything. I mean your in labor so it's not like you are going feel a 100% because you are in pain! :laugh: But my labor went really fast. I was 36 weeks and at 0. I got to the hospital at 6 pm and they hooked me up to the pic. I felt nothing. Then they broke my water and maxed out…

Hope everyone had a great 4th! Ugh, I'm not feeling well today at all. I really can't put my finger on it, just over all pooped. I think it may be from the busy holiday weekend. Yesterday we spent the whole day in the sun and heat on the lake. I didn't sleep last night at all. My son got up like 4 times and my husband has…
