Pregnancy Info HOME

Yes Ironmama I was losing place with the other thread ha ha. Thats great that bub is measuring where it should - I bet that is a huge load off your mind!! :) I dont know how to convert the lbs into Kilos (which is what we use in Oz) so I dont really know how much weight you guys are talking about haha. I am hopeless! I am just about 33 weeks and have put on about 10 kilos - not sure again what that is in lbs! lol. Hope you are all doing great!!! :)

Ironmama- I'm right there with ya. I've gained 38 pounds so far...and I still have 6 weeks to go. I won't say how much I weight now...because its HORRIBLE, lets just say I didn't start out at 130ish. lol. Oh well, I just have tons of work ahead of me after this baby is born....Ohhhhh gooody. I have my 3 hour GD test tomorrow...Gosh, I hope I don't have it!! It would be just one more thing to add to the list of things that have gone wrong this pregnancy. I suppose it could always be worse though....Momma-Thanks for the offer on the information. I will keep you posted and let you know next week what the results were....

Hi preggosauce - I posted this is the other August thread but I think I posted it just as this one became active so not sure if anyone is still going to the old thread - I had to do the 3 hour GD test a couple of weeks ago and I was really worried too - but it all came back good - and the midwife said that happens quite a bit - so I have my fingers crossed for you that that happens too!

Thanks Bellybubble! You give me hope. The Dr. did tell me it was more to rule out that I have it rather than to confirm that I have it. I guess the 1 hour test isn't very accurate. Thanks for keeping your fingers crossed for me! I'll keep you posted!

hi girls. sorry i haven't written much. just not much for writing right now. chloe has started moving more. i still cry everyday tho. does anyone else have RLS in just 1 leg??? last night i couldn't sleep at all cuz my left leg, which is the side where my hip bothers me the most, wouldn't stop aggravating me. i just had to move it, and kick it and it just was awful. but is always just the one leg... i don't get why its just one of my legs.34 wks tomorrow, a few more weeks and i can safely try and get her out, lol.

Morning Ladies!! Missed you all yesterday. I took the day off to go down south and pick up a vehicle. Looks liek it will work. It fits a car seat in it, so that is a major worry off my back. Now if I can just sell my car soon and pay off some of the money I spent on the new one, I should be ok! This little monkey is a moving machine. My dr said it is probably nto that she is moving so much more, juts with having a anterior placenta, most of the softer(earlier) movements were probably cushioned a lot more, and now that she is stronger I can feel all of them. I love it though. I love to sit and watch my belly move and twist and wonder what in the world is she doing in there?? ! Ladies I am right there with ya on the bloody weight gain!! I am at about 30ls so far. ugh.. I keep telling myself that lots of that is all the water in my feet and legs, but I can't seem to convince myself fully that is the culprit. More likey it was my weak self control! Belly - where in Oz do you live?? I spent a couple years out there and loved it.

haha, erin, I know, I just HATE how terrible I look and I'm procrastinating showing anyone pics of me. but I'm getting the same thing from other friends who live all over the place and haven't seen me yet, they're also hounding me to put up a pic. so I surrender, you'll get to see my puffy face and fat a__s :)

patti, my footsies are fat, but I guess I could have worse than swelling. however, my lower back, sciatica and just legs overall are so sore by the end of the day. I just can't believe how huge I am now and how much these next 6 weeks are going to suck a__s. how are your footsies??? when's your last day of work? you're still going out early right? mine is july 11th and I am so excited!

Morning! So im really not looking forward to my 3 hour GD test in the morning. the 1 hr one made me all light headed and nausas. Im hoping and hoping i dont have it. and now to top it off im getting really worried about her movement again. she has never been really aggressive (ive never seen my belly move or felt really really strong kicks) but i could always feel her alot throughout the day. she moves pretty consistantly all day long. just little ones though. the last 2 or 3 days she hasnt moved as much. i did a kick count this morning and last night and it was fine, but i know shes not moving as often as she was. should i ask for one of those non-stress tests?

Erin - Mee too about the fat face thing. It is the face and the arms that are bugging me for some reason. My legs I can't tell if it is fat or swelling, so I just chalk it up to swelling, but the upper body is what gets me!! I am sure I will be 180 at the time she is born. And I usually sit around 130 normaly, but I was about 10 or so over when I got preggers, so that extra 10 doesn't count right!! lol!! Gonna be doing lots of walking when she gets here!! I bought a Nissan Xterra. It is nice. It is a few years old, but only has 40,000km on it, so it was barely driven. It is in really good shape, but I just about choked on my tounge when I filled it up yesterday for $94.00!!! OMG!! We are not going to be making too many roadtrips with that!! Mind you it is less than Hubby's giant 1 ton diesel truck. I hate gas being so high. The Xterra is Silver, a good color for me since we live in a town with dirt roads and the cars are constantly dusty. My emotions have been pretty good for most of the pregnancy, but yup lately, they have been all over the place. Do you find that if one little thing upsets you first thing in the day, everything else makes you cry instantly?? It is wild. Moooooody..... I hope this time around for you Erin - it doesn't creep by, that it just flies and Carl will be home when Cree decides to make her grand entrance!

LOL Gabbi!! I think we are all in the same boat!! I had a major meltdown the other day when I went to the maternity store to buy some shorts, and I had to buy large ones!! And then to make matters worse - you know the mirrors in there add about 10 more pounds and the lights make you look ghostly, I noticed the begginings of some streatch marks at the bottom of my tummy! I started to cry right there. Didn't buy the shorts, just left and went home. I was in a teerrible mood all that night. I feel so ucky. I make hubby take a picture then let me look at it first, and if it looks terrible, I make him retake it!! He just laughs at me and tries to tell me that it won't be liek this forever and that I willbe back to my self before I know it. I know he is trying to help and be sweet, but sometimes it just doesn't help.

Gabbi, the bleeding thing is kinda tricky. With me I bleed heavy for the first probably week or two and then it turns into just enough to have to wear a pad about the 3rd week. BUT, just when you think you are done bleeding and you start to exert yourself-you'll start to bleed again. That's the tricky part. Ugh, I hate having a swollen hoohah, just thinking about that makes me cringe. Gabbi, I am with you on the scatic. It hurts to sit at my desk for extended periods of time. Patti, lord on high, I almost choke when I fill my van up at $67, but you probably have a bigger tank. Good luck Eliz and I wouldn't worry about the movement as long as your kick counts are turning out. I was about as far along as you are now when I told my doc she wasn't moving much and he did a NST and everything was kosher. Creedence still freaks me out every once in while. Bugger.

Hey everyone!!! So I hope you are all sitting down... I am sure you are but you will never guess how big Mason is..... 5lbs 10oz. He is in the 90th percentile!!!!!!!!!! I'm going to pop out a toddler....lol. My fluid has gone down 2 since 2 weeks ago ( yay party for me) lol. And she is going to look at my sugars next week to see if I will need meds or not. My fundus or whatever it is is 35 and 1/2 still ( same as last week) and I lost another 1lbs. So I am only up 15lbs!!!!! Pretty much good news all around. I have 2 new pix of him I will post later. Oh and on the u/s they played his heart beat and we could hear him swollowing!!!! When I was doing the u/s I got really hot and thought I might pa__s out. I think it was my nerves though....

GOOD LORD Alicia!!! Mason is one healthy little man!! Must be taking after his dad!!! LOL!! Wow girl, did you book a c-section at your appt!!Just kidding!! I am soo glad to hear that all is good all around adn I have to say it....blah blah on your 15 lbs weight gain!! You suck!! :) Again only kidding!! That is great!! Hopefully no meds will be needed, and that your gd diet will help rectify eveything. Thanks for the great news!! :)

No problem girl. I am super excited about the 15lbs thing. I'd like to lose 50 after he gets here... But we shall see...lol. I did ask if they would induce if he gets to big and she wouldnt really give me an answer. She just kinda said we will have to play it by ear but she didn't really think he would be coming anytime soon. But he was head down, which is what I thought!!!!

holy moly!! I thought I would be having the biggest baby since me and mike were beasts when we were born, but good lord, I hope you beat me alicia!! I don't want casey bigger than that!! I laughed so hard when you said you were gonna pop out a toddler!! you poor thing. my doctor doesn't induce if baby is big b/c they feel inductions usually lead to c-sections. but they like to know when babies are big b/c they don't make mom go through so much hell when baby has no intention of coming out v____ally, they'll do a c-section earlier on so mom doesn't have to suffer for 30 hours with no progress ya know? oh man, I can't wait to see what happens with us all. I have a strong feeling I'm gonna end up with a c-section, I don't know why but I just think I am. last night I was crying b/c I got really scared about labor. mike gave me a pep talk and made me feel better. but I am still thinking about it a lot more now and I'm pretty scared to death. it all started when I got a tour of my hospital and it became more real to see where it actually would all be happening.
