Mine is close, but I don't think it will in the next month. I joked to hubby that I should take this chance to actually get it totally cleaned out since I can see the bottom! :laugh:. I don't like it because the skin is so tender there from never being exposed.

I've put on 30 and all but about 5-7 of it has been since after week 18. (I was grounded with surgery for a couple months though at week 18, so it slowed me down and I ate a ton of crap in the timeframe.... so.... i know a lot of my gain is "my fault", but I'm overall OK with what looks like 35 lbs overall if I can keep it…

Actually - be thankful that you have an honest Dr on this issue! So many drs scare women into inducing early or doing an elective C/S because their baby is "too big" but they are really just guessing. One of the last ones on here to "pop" was told her baby would be 10lbs and she might need to be induced or even C/S....…

Men are such wimps. When mine complains about back ache or sore feet or something I go "Yeah, well at least your sore back doesn't end with squeezing a watermelon out your hoo-ha!"

The pain in your groin area also suggests baby is just putting lots of pressure on some tender places. Hopefully you can prod or stretch it off of whatever is hurting you! I'd say (in my medical opinion! :laugh:) the sciatica and the groin pain are unrelated - though caused by the same problem (baby pressure) but in…

I watch TV in the evenings instead of cleaning! :laugh: :laugh: Actually, I'm not a huge TV fan, I do usually watch an hour with hubby in the evenings when we eat though - like 9:30 -10:30. Usually we watch whatever is on the History Channel... or Storage Wars or something that takes no mental effort to watch! I have to…

Did I ever share this site? It's a weekly development, but more up my sarcastic humor alley, while still having good info. http://pregnancy.baby-gaga.com/calendar/week1 (shortcut tip - change the # at the end to your # of weeks vs scrolling through the pages to get to your week)

Mine keeps saying "honey, you're pregnant. you're gonna get fat." or "you're pregnant, you're supposed to be fat". Men. :grumble: It doesn't bother me coming from him though because he's not mushy so this is typical talk for him not something insulting or insensitive exactly.

There are things you can do to try to shift baby off your spine and hopefully off that sciatic nerve. You should google that because I don't know off hand what they are. Sciatic nerve pain will start at the low back and curve out through one of your buttocks (or both depending), down the back of the leg and in extreme…

I do it set to maintain my pre preg weight not my current weight.

I'm just looking at maternity leave policies / payment etc http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parental_leave and am amazed. The US is the only one on the list that has "0 weeks" paid as national policy.

I'm officially up 30 lbs with 4 weeks to go. :grumble: I was hoping for 25 total but oh well. :ohwell: It really hasn't helped that hubby WILL NOT quit with bringing home the take out and the fast food! :explode: He gets really cranky and irritated when i dont want it so I just eat it to shut him up - especially since my…

I agree! Bad moms just don't care either way or give it a second thought.

joonz - you totally look pregnant! Cute!

You sound like me :) other than the heavy sleeper thing :) I wake at... well, anything :grumble:. I am sure that you will find a happy medium there- of waking up when needing as well as being able to sleep if the baby is just fussing to fuss. I worked my horses (ground not riding), carried 50lb feed sacks etc up to the day…

Is the only rationing behind it simply to preempt any possible going into labor?

I'm 8 1/2 mos pregnant and drink something like 10 cups a day - I swear I pee every 5 minutes. I LOVE water though. When people would take me to eat, like the inlaws or work or something, they'd say - go ahead and order something, when I'd order water and I was like... um... no i LIKE water! That's my beverage of choice!…

A woman I work with is due the day before me but she's scheduled for a C/S two weeks out. Do they do this simply so there is "no chance" that you will go into labor before they can C/S you? It sounds so counter intuitive to take the baby potentially too early just to avoid possibly going into labor by waiting longer. I do…

Try not to freak out and worry TOO much! :wink: I never figured I'd be a mom, nor really had any overwhelming desire to be one, but I have a 4 yr old now and it's like - how would my life be otherwise? I can't imagine! The thing about being a mom - you don't really have options other than to be the best mom you can be and…

Have you ever had an MRI? Do you know for sure it is muscle pain and not nerve pain from a herniated disc?

That's hillarious! Oh yes it totally wacks the weeds! Scissors trim weeds :laugh: Weedeaters annihilate them!

We had 2 Home Depot AND 2 Lowe's trips yesterday! :laugh: Hubby did get a new tractor and the lawn mowed finally! And I got all the weedwacking done so finally our yard looks civilized!

We had an awful mouse problem at our old house. They were breeding like crazy. Every so often I would catch one in a pot and put it back in the woods because I hate killing them. One day I caught 3 babies (old enough to walk around) but then I could not catch the mom and they would not eat/ drink so they died (of course, I…

OK, I totally want to live in a place called Random Lake!

We used to go to Fon Du Lac every summer. I always thought Wi people were not that weird / weird accents, then I realized it was just because we went to camp with the same Illinois people every year :laugh: My first "into the wild of real WI trip" was an eye opener for just how WI accents actually sound! :laugh:

Easiest argument is to say... um... no... there are not 4 weeks in a month unless every month is February! Show his this link too: http://members.cox.net/david.kutzler/WhyNotMonths.htm

Exercise - technically I failed this week, but I got some cal burns in on non exercise days Monday - cleaning - 100 cals (no official exercise) Tuesday - cleaning - 100 cals (no official exercise) Wednesday - cleaning (an engine :laugh:) - 200 cals (no official exercise) Thursday - 35 mins elliptical (300 cals) / 1 hr…

So I figure I probably ate like 800-1000 calories at the pancake breakfast, I am hoping I overestimated, but pancakes, a donut, a sausage (+the sausage my son wouldn't eat), orange juice... then hubby got pizza for dinner... I ate some thinking - well I walked for 3 hours today at the festival (my son played some games and…

I picked my pediatrician because he was the one on call when my son was born, took my insurance, and had an office a couple miles from my house. After moving, I picked his new ped because they take my insurance and are only .5 mi from my house! :laugh: I don't put that much stake in "having to have a perfect match" with…

very normal. Your body will adjust.
