Daaaammmmnnnn Alicia, that is crazy big measuring!!!! But, I'm very glad your blood came back normal and you can hypothetically breath. I must admit, today is one of the first days that I can remember that I am just a skosch uncomfortable. Lemme ask you guyses a question.....for those of you that have had a NST, what did they look for? I had thought that they wanted to baby's hb to accelerate and then go back to 'baseline', but all they said was for her gestational age, it looked good. But there weren't really any accelerations. Her HR stayed pretty much consistent. Just wondering...

I have no idea what an NST is - I don't think I've had one.

Non-stress test gabby.

Yeah I know. So who knows what it will be this week. I hope it is down. I think i am going to try and keep measurements at home. I ahve never had a NST either so no clue. But I am still very happy with only gaining 12 lbs so far. I had lost 1 lb at the last doc visit.

Take your 12 pounds and shove it Alicia (just kidding, you know I love ya!) Are they just gonna periodically check your fluid until it goes down? The good part is you get to see your baby a lot. Lucky.

I know... But trust me I can't be one of those 40+lbs people. I would look like a freaking hippo.... a hungry hungry hippo...LOL. Sorry I'm in that kinda mood today. I need to stay between 20-25. Who only knows what the MIl would say if I gained 40+. Oh and by the way the MIL is having gastric bypa__s to get her weight off... But from what I understand they will continue to check me every 2 weeks by u/s. which I don't mind at all....

Sometimes I think I would be better off with one of those bags they hook onto horses heads so they can eat. I should and need to make some use out of the treadmill that my parents have. But the only time I have to use it is basically at 8:30 at night. And well, who wants to excercise then? I was looking up NST on this website and one of the links was to my old thread from when I was pregnant with Josephine. It's kinda funny because on August 18th I was like "oh yay, I'm 3 cm dilated. I'm gonna go into labor any day now!" I didn't squeeze the kid out until September 13th! I remember those days. I would literally cry when I woke up because I was still pregnant and hadn't gone into labor. I'm a-scared this time round though. I don't wanna go into labor!

That is a really long time to be dialted that much. I am trying to not get scared but I think getting closer to aug 8th I will be.

Hey girls i know it has been a while since i posted but i have been reding along the whole time just to lazy to talk sorry.. i am mesuring 2 weeks big also maybe its an epidemic lol i am starting to get more and more nervious as time goes by and i have been super emotional latly eiter losing my temper or crying for no reason i feel bad for Joe he takes a lot of c___p from me lately lol does anyones else suddenly have a hairy tummy or am i just weird it like sprung up over night i am blonde so it is not to bad but i can see it is kinda long it just is so odd i dont know...well i hope everyone is doing good i will try to write more often i just suck some times lol

hey katie! how's being a newlywed?? I def got some blonde peach fuzz on my belly too - but I've had it for a few months now. it's so weird, but it's not noticable except to me (and mike, he thinks it's funny). it's fuzzy though, not long hairs :)

No girls I have hair on my belly too. But my hair is dark and my belly is so white...lol I sometime don't feel like typing either... but where is Patti? she hasn't been on all week. IS this the week she goes to NY?

Erin, the doc was feeling my belly and she said that she was feeling the head above my belly b___ton. She asked where I felt most of the movements, and I told her the bottom of my belly, right above my pelvic bone. She said that it's normal for the baby not to be ready for birth and that she still has plenty of time to flip into position. Also, the only thing I remember about the meds from the dnc was that one was to make me forget (I was supposed to have been awake, but that med put me to sleep) and the other was a muscle relaxor (mixed with the 1st med, they made me quit breathing). I had to be tubalized(?) where they put the tube down my throat to breathe for me. I woke up choking on the tube, asking what was going on. They wouldn't tell me anything until they carried me back to the room where Keith was waiting.

Morning peaches! Patti is in NY, Alicia, that is why she is m.i.a. Okay, so I really don't recommend watching Discovery Health's show Amazing Babies or Deliver Me. Alright, well, they're good shows, but man they can sure freak a person out (and make them stay up past their bedtime!) Leah, sorry to keep asking questions about it but I'm a little confused.....so they DO use some of the same meds from the DNC as they would in a C-section? Or are you just questioning any medication period like demerol or epidural? Alicia, I am right there with you....I have not the cute little peach fuzz, I have the darker hair on my stomach and I usually wax it (it isn't THAT bad, but I still wax it anyways), , however this last doctor's appt it wasn't long enough to wax, so yeah, I had this hairy belly and of course that was the day I had to get strapped to the machine for the non stress test. If it's just my doc, I don't mind because lord knows that man has seen it ALL, but the female nurse I was a little embarra__sed. I feel most, if not 90% of my movement up high. I can feel something small (like a foot or knee or elbow) on my upper right side (if I am looking down at my tummy) and then on the upper left hand side there is something harder, which at my last u/s was her booty. The only thing that makes me think she is breech is when she gets the hiccups, that hard part on the upper left hand side thumps. Then again, maybe I just literally have no idea what the hell I am talking about......yeah, that could be it.

morning friends :) so where do you think little casey is sitting? she gets the hiccups daily and I feel them really low so that means her head is probably down right? I meant to ask the doc last week but I forgot, I can ask next week. but anyway, most of my movement is still low, but I feel movement up high and that movement is a lot more poweful - plus, up high is where I can feel body parts poking out. so it sound's like she's head down right?? it's a c___ppy day in NY today, but patti had great weather the rest of her trip. I've been so busy but I just left her a message 9her phone was off) so we'll see if I hear back from her and maybe we'll meet for lunch. hope you guys have a good day!! I'll be on here a lot today I have a feeling b/c I'm in no mood to do work, so chat with me if you can please!

erin, I keep meaning to watch those shows but I keep forgetting - when are they on?? I'm obsessed with baby shows lately. I DVR all the baby show's on TLC daily and I get behind b/c there's so many on every day! I end up erasing most of them. and do you guys watch jon & kate plus 8?? i love that show. geez, we think we have it bad being pregnant! you have to watch the opening credits of that show just to see how big her belly was with 6 babes in it!

Well, last night (tuesday) at 8:00 pm central was Amazing Babies and then after that at 9pm was Deliver Me. Deliver Me is cool because its about obviously women having babies, but it's kinda like a reality show because they go into the doctor's lives just a little bit. But some of the stuff is not so fun like a girl from Guam contracted a disease in her 1st tri so she came to the US because she was high risk and the did an u/s the day she was supposed to be induced and the baby was dead. :-( It was sad. Plus it's just scary to see these women go into spontaneous labor at 30 weeks, 32 weeks, etc. It's like c___p, that could happen to me! I feel Cree's big movements up high too, it's just the hiccup thing that has me thrown off. I'm trying not to worry about it. My doc said he wouldn't worry until about 34 weeks. I have NO desire to work today...AT ALL. I have become so lazy lately. I don't want to get up in the morning, I don't wanna work. I just want to lounge. Plus I wore a short dress today and it is nice and windy. Hard to measure a house while holding down a skirt!
