Pregnancy Info HOME

I cant beleave what I did... I just got pulled over and to get out of a ticket I said I was having contractions! It actually worked! lol ... I feel so ashamed

Goof for you! Last month I said the baby was sitting on my bladder and I was rushing to get home to pee. He let me go, too! Pregnancy does have its advantages!!!

OMG, whatever, they would still give me a ticket! lol I either seriously suck at acting or they have some notice that pops up when they run my license that they MUST give me a ticket. I told a cop one time that I was trying to make it to the restroom that was just like a quarter of a mile down the road cause I felt like I was going to be sick and he escorted me there where he gave me a ticket and I wasn't even really going that fast. Uggg...lol I'm 33 weeks now...yay. And I'm not getting any sleep anymore. It's so weird. Last week I was still amazed at how well I was sleeping, and then over night practically I just can't sleep anymore. No matter how tired I am. His kicks are so strong now and they wake me up and I have to pee seriously like every hour now and after waking up for the 10th time or something I just can't get back to sleep which is going to really really suck considering I still have like 5 weeks of work left. :( Anyone else not sleeping anymore? In good news though, I got his crib up and it looks great. I'm getting so excited. I wish I had a couple hundred dollars right now to finish up getting the last few things I need.

I know it's Christmas and I wish I were more excited but I'm seriously just ready for December to end. I'll probably have to make the long drive back to Arkansas to pick up my car and I really really don't feel like it. I'm tired and uncomfortable and 16hrs in a vehicle over a two day period isn't really my idea of fun right now. Does anyone else feel like they're never going to be ready for baby? I feel like I get one thing done and there's always a million more to do. I got the crib up and the stroller/carseat is ready but I still need some lil things, and I still need to pack hospital bags, and for like a month now I've been asking the Dr's office to get me my referral to the hospital I'm going to deliver at because tricare (my insurance) requires it and I called them yesterday to see if they had done it and they hadn't. I'm so frustrated. He delivers at three hospitals and one of them is less than a mile from my house but the he prefers that you deliver at one of the two on the other side of town so he can be there more easily and often if needed, which is fine with me if it means he'll be more patient and less likely to try and make me have a c-section or if it means he'll be able to be there faster in the instance that I do end up needing an emergency c-section or something, but the nurses at the office kept saying that my insurance didn't cover those hospitals and my insurance was saying they do... So I just asked the ladies at the dr's office to find out for me and take care of it cause I NEED this done. I need to preregister and let my husband drive there once or twice cause he has no clue where that hospital is and all. I just freaking need to know where I'm going to deliver. Anyways, so finally I called the Dr's billing lady and she supposedly took care of it for me yesterday. She said give it a few days for them to process at the hospital and get back to her and then I can go take care of preregistering and all... It's just so freaking frustrating though, nothing seems to be working out smoothly. Everything I've tried to get done in the past month or so has been a big mess and struggle. I'm tried, there's a lot of pressure on my tummy now, I'm hardly sleeping, I'm still working for 5 more weeks... I just need things to freaking work like they're supposed to. Okay, sorry about the rant ladies.

Flybear...Hang in there, I catch myself being very overwhelmed for a number of reasons, and when I think back I felt that way with each baby. The good thing is that it all works out. I actually just got back from the ER. I started having contractions last night and they continued untill this morning. It turns out I have a urinary tract infection and that is what was causing it. They also had to hydrate me. My cervix is closed and they did a test to determine if I was going to go into labor in the next 48 hours and it was negative. Thats a pretty cool test! lol! But all is well! I was stressing yesterday about all I have to do and that I only had today to get it done and then this happend and now Im just thankful my baby is ok and you know the world didnt crumble because I didnt get it done today. Of course now there is more pressure to get those things done but I refuse to stress about it!! I am about to put my feet up and just be happy that I even have things that need to get done for the baby and my family, Grateful that I have these people in my life to do things for!!! I am going to stop being so hard on myself and do what I can as I can. God will give me the strength to get thru and just like with every hard thing in life you make thru one way or the other. I hope you feel better and give yourself a break ... you deserve it! You are caring for a whole life!!! Give your self credit!

I think we all need to give ourselves a break. I feel the same way- that I will never be ready for baby. But as a new mom-to-be, how could I ever be ready? I was looking forward to this weekend to get everything ready for baby, put up the crib, waash all the clothes again, decorate the room, etc. But at the same time, my job was nice enough to give us a 4 day weekend, so I decided to just relax and enjoy the time off. It may be the last 4 days I will have to relax before baby comes!!! I'm going to put my feet up, take a bath, go to the beach (it's 80 here in Florida!) and enjoy spending time with my family. The rest I will tackle one task each day. Or get hubby to do it. Or I may say screw everything and do it all this weekend anyway! Gotta love those Type-A personalities!

kmoselle....Good for you girl!! I am going to try and get somethings together today if my kids will work with me that is. lol They are on vacation and have alot of energy!!!! I have got to start wraping presents!! My poor 3 yr old keeps asking why we dont have presents under the tree. Well I will talk to you ladies later

How was everyone's holiday? I didn't do much, spent time with the family, we played a lot of games. We went to a theme park on Friday and I spent 11 hours walking around! On the plus side, the swelling in my feet and hands went down from all the exercise, but on the negative side, I had horrible BH contractions all day Saturday (I'm 33 weeks). So I laid on the couch all day Saturday and took 2 one-hour naps! Yesterday we went baby shopping. We bought little things like b___stmilk storage bags, nipples, bottles and sleeper outfits. I really can't wait until my baby shower in 3 weeks. I want to buy everything now!!!

Hey ladies! How is everyone? How was your Christmas? I got 5 days off and I swear it wasn't long enough. lol I'm 34 weeks today and still so tired. I'm not only getting up a million times a night to pee now, but the indigestion and heartburn have kicked in too now and that keeps me up a bit, and my hips and all have really started hurting lately making it hard to get comfortable. I can't wait for these next few weeks to go by. I also think I was having some BH contractions yesterday. Not sure cause it's my first pregnancy and I'm not really sure what all the feelings are yet. It felt much like menstrual cramps. Does that sound like BH?

4 days off was not enough for me! Looking forward to 4 more off this coming weekend! I am a__suming the tightness and pressure I have been feeling is BH because the feeling comes and goes and lasts about a minute. Sometimes I feel crampy, too, though. I am going to ask my doctor tomorrow if both the cramps and the tightness are different types of BH or which is what. They sure do feel like my body is preparing, whatever they are! 6 weeks and 4 days to go- if he comes on time!!! My hips don't hurt but my knees do. Is that weird?

No, I don't think that's weird. A lot of times my entire lower body aches. Especially if I've been walking around a lot. I think a lot of it is swelling.

OMG, I'm driving myself nuts with how impatient I am. It's worst when I'm at work and bored though. Do you ladies find that you can't think about anything else and it makes you frustrated that you can speed up time? lol What do you do to try and take your mind off of it?

I'm the same as you. I was bored at work this afternoon and I just sat and watched my belly moving around! When he was pressed against my side I swear I could feel the shape of his back. I day dream about holding him and rocking him (once I talk DH into spending $299 on a nursery chair!) and that he will be a perfect baby who will sleep through the night and never fuss and cry (LOL!!!) Other than that, I'm on here reading posts and reading and re-reading the what to expect while you're expecting and what to expect the first year. It seems like time is going to fast for me to get everything ready for baby and at the same time not fast enough for him to get here. Impatient, too!

I know, 9 months has never seemed so long EVER. And the suspense of when he'll actually come drives me nuts too. I'm almost jealous of people having a c-section cause they know if everything goes as planned they will have their lil one on this date at this time... I'm not too keen on surprises. lol These pregnancy websites are the only thing that keeps me sane, I swear. I like you read over and over and over what is going on every week and I have read some of my pregnancy books several times. I'm sooooo ready to meet my lil man.

hope everyone had a happy new year!! not lonf until feb now!! update Heidi's head is 2/5engaged!! which here means engaged as most of her head is below the pelvic brim! she just has to get to 1/5 to be deeply engaged! wow scary stuff lol! i am sooo uncomfortable recently! im 34 weeks on saturday and i am sooo ready now!! oh i also had my scan 33weeks 3days everything is fine and her estimated weight is 5lb 10 0z!! so if thats right i think she,s be a 9pounder! OUCH! hopefully she,s a bit smaller and they were a bit off lol!

Hi Feb moms!! How is everyone doing these days?? Has anyone asked there docs about the cramps with the braxton hicks? I was having cramps and braxton hicks that went into my back and diareah, my doc said that those are signs often a__sociated with preterm labor and told me no s_x for a week and to take it easy and drink lots of water. I go back on Tuesday for another checkup. My cervix is very tight. Has anyone started dialating? I would love to here updates on how everyone is feeling and what there docs are saying.
