Thanks so much for your answers! Well as of about 20 mins ago bub started moving again so that was very rea__suring - I guess there isnt much room in there anymore - but i will keep an eye on it and ring the hospital if i get worried again. Its just good to be able to get on here and find out how everyone else is going. Hope you all have a great day!!

hey there, aww bellybubble, i too have been freaked out when baby doesnt move much for days, i think its when it's growing, sleeping lots, and i notice i eat a lot during those days too. and then, all of a sudden, baby will start being really active again, and i will notice that it is bigger too! but remember, the most important thing is to be calm and find your intuition, and listen to whatever your heart says, and if your intuition tells you something's not right, go in and get baby checked out. better to be rea__sured, right?
and softbreeze, im in bc :)

i have a question. its kinda strange. but for the last week or so, when i go to the bathroom, i've had NO discharge, is this normal?? i usually have a lot. the baby isn't moving much anymore either, just usually after i eat. and thats it. used to she moved all the time. she would roll and roll til she got comfortable when id lay down, now she doesn't even move then. im really worried. or is it just from all the stress im under and i've wore her out?

Morning ladies!! Alicia - maybe can you squeese a day off to just put your feet up and relax?? I am sure it would make you feel a bit better if you could catch up on your rest. :) Danielle - if you are concerned hon, go to the doc. I am sure she is just fine and is just getting squished in there and as for the discharge, I am unsure. I know mine comes and goes at random. I found out last night just exactly how uncomfortable it is to sleep upright. I had such bad heartburn that it kept me up and felt as if it was filling my mouth. It was terrible. And so uncomfortable.

Doc appt went well Friday after the U/S. She said even though baby i smeasuring big, she was leaving my due date,so that if she didn't decide to come early I won't panic! But she did tell me I was FINISHED work as of right then because of the swelling in my feet and legs. But I convinced her to let me stay on till the end of the month, so I can get a new person hired and trained. She agreed to let me stay working for this week but under strict rules that if she decides that I am done, then I am done. So I am hoping that the swelling can stay a t a norm till the end of next week. Then I will be done anyway. At least this way, with her taking me off work, I can collect a month of Maternity sick leave and then start my mat leave once she is born. Works out ok I guess. I am getting really anious to meet this little one now. Especially since she is now as big as a friends baby was when she was born and was perfectly healthy!! It seems unreal that our angels will be here so soon now! She has been shoving her arse right up under my right ribs and it hurts! i can push it back down for a minute or two, then she gives me a swift shot and shoves it right back up there. Stubborn little bugger!!

I wish i could take a day off but then I think everything would come crashing down here...lol. That is why I am wokring up until i just can't anymore. No one in my office has the state credit to do what I do besides another manager and they are always gone... But we shall see. Patti, how big are your feet getting that she wants u at home? And how big did she measure? I get measured again on Thursday and I can't wait to see how big he is!!!! I started my GD diet Friday and so far so good. But I tell you guys it's hard. When everyone around you is eating fried catfish and shrimp, rolls baked potatos and you can only eat grilled chicken or steak (which isnt bad) and salad. It sucks...lol. But Its for my child and its just a little while longer....

Well, don't overdo yourself Alicia. We don't want you to get worn out. My feet are pretty big. And soo sore. All the bones in my ankles feel liek I have sprained my ankles. She said it is from the pressure of the swelling on them that is bruising them. My lower legs have lots of broken blood vessles in them from it as well. They did figureout though on friday at the u/s that the reason the left leg is more swollen than the right is because my uterus is tilted to the left and putting more pressure on that leg causing the swelling to be more. SHe has said that she want's to keep it as minimal as possible,s o that it doesn't lay me up next month when it could get worse. It is just really sore in the feet to walk. I guess she is just being safe. As for sweetpea - well she is measuring in at about 5.2lbs right now. The average is about 4.4lbs for 32w. SO I apparently am feeding her well!! lol! Big girl!! But doc said she is going to keep my due date at the 6th so that if she doesn't come earlier than I dont panic!! lol! She must have good exerience with panicy preggos!! But she figures she will probably come a bit earlier than that. So much for my worries about her being small! But my GD test came back fine, so she is just big. How big was little Mason last time? Don't worry, soon enough you willbe able to eat all that good stuff as well Alicia. And with no worries!! :)

oooh, patti, you lucky duck. I'm so swollen too and I haven't been ordered to stop working!!! I still have 4 more weeks to sweat this out. I'm glad you're feeling ok, I'm having the same as you. my left leg is like permanently dead, even sleeping or laying down doesn't wake it up so I'm like totally limping around and waddling and look like a total a__s :) and my feet and legs are like unrecognizable. it really sucks. I have so many cute summer shoes and I'm not going to get to wear any of them!!! I'm in flip flops every day! so I just got back from lunch, I had a turkey sandwich on a roll with lettuce, pickles and oil & vinegar. I have no idea why but it was like to DIE FOR!! It just tasted so good to me. Now I'm full and ready for a nap!

oh and Erin- Just so ya know doc called today and they found me an individual cla__s that would only cost me $30!!!!! huge difference in price. And its at the same place as the $1275 one. Only difference is now I will meet for 1hr instead of 3hrs and i will be by myself instead of with a group... which is fine by me....lol

That's what i think too Gabbi. Although i started the GD diet on Friday my #'s have been great. I think she will be very pleased when she sees my #'s. Also I feel like the fluid is down some. Mainly because I can breath better and my belly just doesn't seem like it sticks out as much.

Ooh Gabbi - that sandwich sounds delicious!! Maybe you can ask your dr if it is possible to take you off early. I am not sure what kind of benifits you guys have down there that would help cover you, but here we have a short term sick leave that the month of july willbe covered under from Canada Unemployment services. It is a short term maternity sick leave that needs to be requested by a doctor to recieve it. So it definatly helps. That way I can start my mat leave once she is born instead of before. It is worth checking into. Maybe even something at your work will have coverage. I knwo she told me the more we can keep me off my feet now the longer that baby will want to stay in there and grow! SOunded good to me! Alicia that cla__s sounds way better!! And like Gabbi said, it will maybe be better so you can have the instructor all to yourself!! Hopefully they will be happy with your numbers!! I am glad that you found that cla__s. Only a few more weeks to go hey!! Gabbi, the only thing that worrires me is the size that her head will be!! Once that is out, I am thinking it should be easy going! I don't mind if she is on the larger size, I like when babies are nice and plump and not so fragile looking! lol!! I just can't wait to meet her! I ahd to laugh at myself, after the u/s, wyatt left the room and I asked the tech if he could see what s_x it was, and he said it is def. a female baby. For some reason I was releived!! I have only been told three times already that it is for sure a girl and saw it in 3D!! But still had to ask! What a geek!! :)

Gabbi - I totally hear ya on the shoes thing! I have only one pair of flip flops that I have been able to wear for months now, and when we were in NY I bought a couple pairs of Reef flipflops there, but couldn't even try them on, my feet were so grotestque! I stillcan't get them on, so they may be next years!! Isn't it funny how you can press on your feet or legs and it stays indented for a while!! I took pics of my stumps to show her one day when she is older what happened when I was preggers with her!
