Haha I got what you meant :) Anyone else's little one arrive? Praying for safe deliveries for all of you! I've been pumping and I'm so excited that my supply is finally ahead of baby! I've got 10 ounces frozen and 20 in the fridge! Woohoo!

Hey all :) Sorry it's taken me a week to update you! Our little man made it safely in our arms at 9:23 last Tuesday night. I went in for an induction at 7:00 am last week and had a very hard slow day of labor. By 8:30 at night I was still only dilated to a 6 and we sent my husband to go find some dinner because it looked…

Still no little man - but I'm really enjoying the time at home with my "big boys". Still need to set up the crib, bring my pump and nursing stuff upstairs... And pack my hospital bag. Then we are set! After my appointment last week my almost 4 year old came running to the door to greet me and stopped abruptly when he…

Hey ladies! How's everyone doing? My doctor wrote down that I'm 3 cm, 60% effaced, and in -2 position. He should be here within the week :) How are you all feeling? I'm finally, finally feeling better - only thrown up twice in the last week.

He flipped!!!! Seriously I was in tears so happy that he is engaged and in position. He's so low the dr couldn't feel him from the outside. The doctor was blown away that he flipped with the ECV (because I have low amniotic fluids so she didn't think he COULD turn without medical intervention. She asked what all I had…
-
Well - I find out tomorrow if baby has flipped, but at this point I'm not super hopeful because I still feel him up in my right ribs... maybe it's his rump now - but I think it's still his head. I'm guessing I'll be having the ECV Wednesday or Tuesday. But as long as it help get him here safely I'll do whatever I need to.

Hey Ladies - feel like I need to share another coupon. Target is running two diaper promotions through tomorrow. The first is "Get a $20 Target Giftcard if you sepnd $125 on baby supplies" (diapers, wipes, etc... were included). The second was for Huggies Brand. By 2 bulk boxes, get a $10 gift card back. I stacked these…

Hey ladies. I had my weekly appointment yesterday and am finally up again on my weight gains. Less than 3 weeks to go and I'm 1 centimeter & 50% effaced (not that it really means anything - I walked around dilated to a 3 with my last kiddo and still ended up being induced). Anyways, found out little man is breech & my OB…

CONGRATS @lilchino4af!!
-
Robynn - Have you tried a chiropractor or prenatal massage for your back pain? We have been sick at our house too :( Regarding the birthday fun & trip - how exciting! I hope you are able to do your trip and that everything goes super smooth! We were looking at taking an Easter camping trip (we did last year and it was so…
-
Did not end up having an exam this week, so we will see next Tuesday. I've been having lots of cramping so I'm hopeful that my body is doing everything it can to prep and make this delivery smooth. @TheLaser I'm glad you are feeling better! How are you guys doing with nesting? I've been going crazy cleaning out space and…

I'm ready for this little one to…

Hey ladies! Another week closer! I'm not sure but I may be having my first cervical exam tomorrow to see where we are starting. Hope you are all feeling well - I've started getting killer heat flashes and my face turns bright red and flushed. Oh well - the end is in sight :smiley: How about everyone else? The group has…
-
Me too - but that is mostly due to my toddlers and the third trimester aches/pains! I've heard taking vitamin B6 during the day can help (I'm already on an anti-nausea medication that has B6 in it). Try adjusting your thermostat before bed. If it is too hot or too cold your body struggles to stay asleep…
-
Good morning! @TheLaser - I'm so happy you had a good day and I'm hoping it sticks!! We have a bit of a heat wave too! We are supposed to get up to 61 today so when I get off work I'm taking my little guys on a walk to the park. So excited! @Robynn412 - I don't know how you are doing it with all those appointments! For my…
-
@TheLaser - Hooray on the placenta moving! So happy for you!
-
Morning all :) I'm starting to feel like the end is in sight! 6 weeks from today I will likely be at the hospital being induced, but I certainly wouldn't complain if baby came a week or two earlier than that! I'm still feeling pretty crummy, and am sad that I'm not one of those "glowing" pregnant mommas, but I'm getting to…

Welcome @Jaiymerz! I've started having ALOT on Braxton Hicks and am generally uncomfortable already - at 32 weeks and a few days. I know we are supposed to want out little ones to cook as long as possible, but as soon as he's "allowed" (is that 36 or 37 weeks now?) I want him to come!
-
Hope you are all having better weather than we are (-8*) but I bought some new herbal teas (Red Raspberry Leaf and "Pregnancy Tea") so hoping those can warm me up a bit! Other than that I've been looking into natural ways to make labor easier... I remember doing this with my last pregnancies too and I don't know if any of…
-
Welcome @imadorkable! I wouldn't be too concerned about having additional U/S. I know several women with Gestational Diabetes that get an U/S once a month. If it were me, I'd just be happy to see my little one again! Last night I had the sweetest experience with my little guys at home (1 & 3). They were being totally crazy…

Soo... who knows. We'll see at…
-
Hey ladies Sound like we ALL need spring to get here. I had another really bad HE day last week and ended up in labor and delivery to get IVs. Not fun at all, but I can't even tell you how much better I felt after getting re-hydrated! I recovered enough to go on a quick trip to the southwest to get my hubby's internship…

Welcome @lcristiano87! I'm starting to fantasize about maternity leave. I cannot wait to just be home focusing on my three little boys and probably staying in PJs all day long. I'm not looking forward to the breastfeeding battle this time... but I'm hoping that my older boys can keep themselves amused while baby and I…

I was worried about taking St Johns Wart the last go around too, but I got it approved by my OB and had a second opinion from a retired OBGYN in my old neighborhood. Both approved it. Also the probiotic is called ProBio5. It's sold by Plexus online, if you want more info I can PM you the link - otherwise I'm so glad you…

Hi again. Just got back from a marathon of appointments. I had my GD test this morning (blah!) and then my last monthly check up (I move to two weeks for 1 month and then WEEKLY). And then I had a follow up u/s to get a better look at spine and profile of our little man. My doctor talked to me about when I need to go in…
-
So. I was wrong on my last post. I got my "Starting Weight/10 week weight" from my doctor this morning and it was 228, not 224 - based on her scale (I'm obviously a work in progress - that's why I'm here)! So to update: 10 Week: 228 14 Week: 228 18 Week: 228 22 Week: 228 26 Week: 226 (-2 Total) 28 Week: 223 (-5 Total)

Hey Ladies. Forgot to schedule my next u/s so I need to call as soon as the clinic opens this morning and see if they can get me in tomorrow morning. I'm super sick again... can't even keep the Diclegis down and I'm out of the zofran... Big meeting at work today otherwise I'd seriously consider a sick day.
