I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my Mother Dec 22nd, 2005 when I was in high school. She had a liver disorder & died all of a sudden in her sleep. If you need to talk, don't hesitate to message me! I sit alone in a hospital bed 24/7. And no one has offered to help babysit my toddler, come visit me, nothing. I've had to…

Great job ladies! I love reading your updates! I'm in the hospital with preeclampsia until I deliver (37 weeks) or until my water breaks. As of Tuesday, I'm 3cm dilated & 70% effaced. I'm 34 weeks 1 day! No contractions anymore & I get to walk around (which isn't much). I'm also on a high blood pressure med & a few other…

Thanks ladies! I'm home now resting. I'm dilated to 2cm & have mild preeclampsia. Luckily I see the high risk dr on Tuesday. If my water doesn't break, I'll be delivering around Christmas. Baby Ben got his steroid shots for his lungs & is good to go. I'm super swollen. I gained over 10lbs in the hospital, but I think it's…

Welp I lied when I said I was ready! I'm dilated to 1+cm & lost my mucus plug. I'm in labor & delivery. My blood pressure is high & I'm having contractions. Luckily baby looks good. 2 of my veins blew so my arms are ridiculously sore. I'm getting meds to stop the contractions & steroid shots for baby's lungs. They gave me…

^i agree with above. Awesome!

Glad to hear she's doing better! My daughter refused a bottle. After spending easily $50 on bottles, we found that she took Dr Brown bottles the best. I heard Playtex are good too.

That's very true! And yes, I'd love the mommy support! Everyone send me a friend request if we aren't already friends!

Let the countdown begin! I'm nervous about having my tubal ligation the day after I deliver. I'm scared of the pain! But i had my gallbladder removed at 5 months pregnant with my 1st & my appendix removed 2 weeks post partum. I don't know why I'm being a baby about the pain! I just know how much delivery hurts & I'm…

Yes, I had surgery at 5 months pregnant to remove my gallbladder. I was in the hospital in April for a few weeks & was back home for less than a week before my water broke in May. I should've gotten stuff ready then, but I was so preoccupied with my finals. I only have 1 newborn outfit & size 1 diapers. I need to grab a…

I had my daughter at 35 weeks & didn't have my bags packed yet! I'm 32 weeks & packed everything today! I packed 2 outfits for the baby, & got the diaper bag put together. For myself, I'll bring an outfit. No flat iron or makeup needed lol. I could barely get the strength to get up to use the bathroom. I need to pack my…

Officially 32 weeks. Got less than 8 weeks to go! I've put on 31lbs thus far, I'm sitting at 140lbs. Oh well. I guess I was right about gaining around 40lbs by the end of the pregnancy! Wednesday the nurse said I won't make it to term. I see the OB on Tuesday at least. I'm having a lot of back pain as well. I may need to…

Binky muffin- those pumps are good. I rented an awesome medala double breast pump for the first few weeks after I delivered & it was a lifesaver. The suction is very strong, which left my nipples were soooo tender. Definitely hurt more than nursing, but got a lot of milk out & it was pretty quick (less than 15mins). Took…

Yeah definitely let your work know that you are not up to working past your planned last day. I wake up about 3-4 times a night to pee. This is my 2nd baby so my pelvic muscles are much weaker, so I pee like every 30mins during the day! I've been having round ligament pains since the beginning of my 2nd trimester & it is…

Hopefully you can get your hours reduced!

My first was born premature so I couldn't breastfeed til about 9 weeks, so I pumped. Then she got strong enough to nurse. Finding the right positioning, etc was so hard! I suggest finding a good lactation consultant just in case any problems arises. I went to 3 & the last one was fantastic. So helpful! And buy lots of…

I think you're right. I've been listening to my body & eating when I get hungry. I think I eat a bit too much due to stress or boredom, but that'll all be over soon lol

It's very exciting! We still have so much to do before the baby is born! I'm not ready! I've gotta at least deep clean the house since I won't be doing any cleaning for a few weeks!

Pre pregnancy 109lbs 5'1" 5 weeks 109 lbs 13 weeks 114lbs Gained about 5-6lbs during my first trimester. Aiming to gain 35lbs.

I feel just the opposite! I have to eat something right before I go to bed or my stomach grumbles. I will typically snack on something around 8 or 9. I'm 30 weeks & have gained 30lbs. Probably due to my late night snacking ;)

I took parenting classes before the baby was born. I think they helped a bit. I had a good support group after I had my daughter, like who to go to when I needed help with breastfeeding, etc. so I think the classes were worth it in that aspect.

I'm 28 weeks & due Jan 29th with a boy! My daughter is 3.5. I've gained 24lbs thus far. I gained 34lbs with my first & delivered at 35 weeks. I'm only allowed to walk & I try to walk twice a week. Hopefully I don't put on more than 40lbs! Good luck with the end of your pregnancies ladies!

Exercise wise, all I'm doing now is walking. I'm 28 weeks & see the OB on the 18th. I took the 1 hr glucose test, hopefully it comes back normal because I love my sweets! I've been having round ligament pains & pelvic pain since 16-18 weeks. Probably due to carrying my kiddo on my hip all the time! Starting to feel anxious…

Hahaha. I nap just about everyday! And did even before I got pregnant! No wonder my 3.5 year old still naps! I'm feeling pretty good. Been walking more. Ate way too much Halloween candy! No nausea here, but very achy back! Aches sitting down, standing up, laying down. :/ I really wanted to do my baby shower in Nov, but no…

I had a strong feeling my first would be a girl because I had a girl name that I adored & felt strongly about. She came premature & the dr who delivered her was named Lily too! This time, I had a boy name picked out & felt strongly about it & it's a boy!

My daughter is 3 1/2 too & I'm having a boy as well! I've already gained 24lbs & will probably gain over 40lbs with this baby. I gained 34 with my first.

Omg that's awful! We just moved & it totally sucked. My hubby was out of state for work & I had to pack all by myself. Luckily he got back just in time to load up the big furniture. But I still had to unpack everything & clean our condo. My poor 3 year old has been miserable! My brother is moving in with us next month (he…

We've been packing & moving so I'm super sore. And of course eating out so much, I've packed on far too many pounds! Things are finally settling down, so I can get back into a normal routine!

I'm actually thinking the first week of Dec too! November is just too crazy right now!
