Pregnancy Info HOME

STEF - I am so happy that your appointment went well and now you can relax knowing you have at least 1 more u/s and that's so great that everything looks good - you know last time I measured big with my son but he didn't change my due date so I am confused as to why he changed my due date this time???? She is measuring at 31 weeks and I turned 30 weeks just this past Wednesday.....so from July 2nd to June 25th?? I am getting so excited I can't wait! I am going to put my co-sleeper up so I can let it air out and breathe .....Our little ones will be here before we know it - hey how do you think the ladies are posting from the hospital? that's crazy to me I can't access the forum from my phone but it would sure be cool if I could- I'll make sure to post on my induction day/labor day so you guys know that I went to the hospital we all need to have a plan instead of just disappearing and then showing up a few days later - hey guess what I had the baby.....I think those of us who will be induced will be easy to track it's you girls going into labor naturally that we need to have a plan for you....LOL just thinking ahead

TINA, good thinking. I wondered about that too...I can't do any of that stuff on my cell phone so I doubt I'll be posting till I get home because we don't have a laptop to bring either. I will hopefully have enough time to post before I go so you all know where i am at and when I am giving birth! My dr. didn't talk induction today, but I figure I still have a few appts. left before we get to talking about that. I'll go back around 32 weeks, then 34, then 36 and at that point I think we get a scan to see her size. I'm getting so freakin excited it's driving me nuts already! :)

STEF - I wouldn't really want to take my laptop - it's heavy and I won't want to have to babysit it....ya know? Ok so if you aren't induced and if you think about it please post that you are off to the hospital before you go so we know you didn't fall into a blackhole! LOL

I know, it's funny I have been so worried about pre term labor (and everything else), but now I'm thinking I might be the last to go -- wouldn't that be ironic!? ;) No, I'm just gonna try to take it easy for the next few weeks and I'm getting excited for the baby showers too. I have one in 2 weeks and then the other in 3. I'm seriously feeling like time is already going slower. Like I know there have got to be a million things to do to get ready, but I can't think of anything to do...does that make sense? *******HEATHER, I hope you are doing well...I think about you and Nevin all the time and hope and pray all is going good. I'm sure you are busy but if you get a second to post to us please do! (HUGS)

its still kinda a ghost town around here i can see. well its a beautiful day outside finally. so of course my dh is working!! but this time he is right up the street so im gonna make him lunch and take it to him later. he is doing a side job so he is being paid for the whole thing!!! that part im excited for. he told me i can take some money and buy stuff for lylee. im having to buy shelfs so that i have somewhere to put her stuff. which is fine by me. i am so excited for her to get here. i think about her all the time. i just cant stand the waiting. i started making this quilt like 4 years ago. but the lady that was showing me how to do it is not around anymore. so ive been just waiting and waiting to finish it. idont have a sewing maching which is kinda needed. well this girl at school had like three of them so she is letting me borrow one. so now i am excited to finish it for lylee. i just hope i can figure out how to do it. lol

What a weekend it feels so great outside but yet im in my room with the A/C on haha! i have no plans for this weekend.. so my day just feels longer. and i can see that no one is on.. i need a hobby... HEATHER WE MISS U!! WE ALL ARE HOPING FOR THE BEST AND HOPE THINGS ARE GOOD.. WHEN U GET THE CHANCE LET US KNOW ANYTHING. -TINA.. I LOVE UR BELLY PIC.. i wish i can upload my new pics but my usb cord is broken :-( i might just take a pic from my husband fone n e mail it to myself.. well ladies Hello and Goodbye hope u guys enjoy the beautiful change of weather!!

Hey everyone! Heather I am so glad that your little one is doing good. It has been a really long time since I have written to you guys. Looks like everyone is doing well though. I have had a hard time this last month My baby's father is no longer with me. So I am all alone now, and more scared then ever!!! But my little one has been kicking really hard I love the feeling, it makes me happy that I am not totally alone. Its really hard now that I don't have my fiance...=(. But I know I will beable to do it. I have another ultra sound on the 29th hopefully I will beable to find out the gender this time. My last one my little one was all curled up in a ball didn't even want to show the face. So hopefully I will have more luck this time since there is more activity now. Well I just thought I would drop by and give you an update and see how you all were doing.-Char

Hi ladies! Heather- A big Congratulation to you and Nevin! I pray that you both will have a speedy recovery and Nevin will be home shorty cuddled up in your arms. To all the July mummies- A big hello! my name is Tien. im a 28yr old mother of 3 and a half! im currently pregnant with my 4th at 28wks and a few days now. It has been a uneventful pregnancy, everything is going great, tho there will be alot of changes once baby is here like up grading to a bigger car (7 seater) and new beds for everyone since is in my bed! sometimes i have to sneak out into the the lounge to sleep on my own cos the bigger i get the more space i need! lucky i have a body pillow that i always sleep with against my tummy ( i always sleep on my side) or else i think my tummy will be my kids whacking and kicking bag! since they toss and turn so much! Anyway i went in for my 18wk u/s and the Dr found 1 healthy baby with a strong heartbeat. so i am very happy. we are having a boy. i always thought it was a girl because of tummy shape ( yes, i am Asian and we go by reading tummy shapes!) plus i had same food craving as my daughter's pregnancy before. i should of seen red flags when i didnt have bad morning sickness or anything else. Asian believe that when your next baby is a diff s_x from the previous one you dont get sick much but you get sick alot of its diff s_x. i dont actually really believe in these myths but i do believe in the tummy shape cos 98% of the time it works! it did with my other 3 and families. i will be attending to july mommies from now on. will look forward to reading and getting to know all you fine ladies!

Hi girls! Welcome Tien! Charli, I'm so sorry you are going through this right now alone :( We are here for you and do you have family support, etc? It's got to be so hard, but keep yourself together for you and your little one and focus on the wonderful things to come when the baby is here! I'm trying to focus a lot more on each day because I'm finding myself wandering off (in my head) to 2 or 3 months from now and it's just making my head spin and making the time crawl. This weekend has been pretty uneventful! Next weekend I have things going on and then the two following are baby showers so I think things are going to pick up FAST! I'm itching to do some type of craft project or something for the walls above the crib and changing table, but I don't know what yet. I'm kind of waiting on the bedding to do that. How is everyone else doing?

I have a little bit of support from my family. They are mostly all upset with me. So basically I am totally alone...I am glad I found this site before though :) it has helped a lot. I am trying to just think of the baby and nothing else...but its hard.

hi guys. CHARLIBABE- dont worry or stress yourself out ok! im sure your family we come around when baby is born, my mum sure did! my family was also very upset when i had my 1st child cos i was only 15yr at the time but it all change once they see how cute and adorable the baby is!! STEFKAY- thanks for the warm welcome! gees, i wish i have some time to do some arts n craft but these days time is what i dont have! especially keeping up with my 1.5yr son! (the korean boy! thats what we call him cos he is so fair). PRECIOUS- it definitely was a beautiful weekend we had here in sydney. the last 3 weeks was terrible weather, full of rain! The last week and days for me has been so so tiring. my ribs are killing me, so sore from being poked at! i am exhausted and i have another 3mths to go! i think this baby may be bigger then my previous and that makes me very scared! keep thinking how the hell am i going to push it out? since the 2 previous birth was a__sisted and 1 induced. im also scared of getting cut down there again. i never had a 3kilo baby before, my smallest was 2.2kilo and still i got cut! i hate looking down there now cos its all looks so yucky! the st_tching is terrible! i dont remember being this big or exhausted at 7mths with my prev preg, it was more like 8th and 9mth. oh well just got to drag my b___t to the end. anyone tried raspberry tea?

Welcome Charlibabe and 4busybeez! We have been a bit of a ghost town lately so I hope it picks up starting tomorrow...well I had another garage sale tomorrow and sold my washer and dryer woo hoo I didn't have to store it or move it after I moved it out it was great! It's so nice out - I went and bought myself a bathing suit since we are going to be camping at the beach this weekend...I can't wait we are doing as much fun stuff with my parents as possible...I also got 2 pair of capri pants....I hate that maternity clothes are so stinkin expensive I think I have finished shopping for myself my BF is so awesome she bought me 4 more tops and they are super cute so I think I am set for clothes until the end - I hope after a week or 2 I will fit into my regular clothes since I haven't gained that much weight.....well I need to finish laundry and get ready for the week I just wanted to check in and say hey to everyone but before I got let me introduce myself to you wonderful new ladies...my name is Tina I am pregnant with number 3 I have 2 boys ages 9 and 4 and this one is a girl I am so excited I have registered for all things pink.....I am 31 weeks this Wednesday and I may be due on June 25th after my last ultrasound...so we'll see.....Welcome to our happy thread and like I said I hope it picks up I think we are al becoming nesting fools and not checking in too much HEATHER - please check in soon!!!!

TINA- thanks so much for your warm welcome! You are so so lucky, you get to go camping!!! i love camping but havent gone since i was in high school! maybe we can go again when we buy our new suv. glad to hear you sold your washer and dryer with no probs. i got to buy new 1's cos the movers killed my washing machine when we moved here. a dryer would be so nice as well nice been raining so much lately here. oh well i guess the $5000 baby bonus will come in handy. Told about maternity clothes! gosh i wish someone would design some nice funky maternity clothes. all the ones i see make me so old!! plus the maternity bras turns me off as well! i actually came across a website that sells really s_xy n cute maternity bras called HOTMILK. i would like to try it out but i dont know what size i'll be after birth, im abit confused abt that. im a very small person- 149cm, 68kgs and a size 12a =( wish i had bigger b___bs and hoping b___stmilk will be my magic answer for a while. any body have an idea how much cup size you go up once milk is in? i also want to ask which baby bottles do you recommend that is like the b___st and baby likes it? one that its BPA free. thanks, tien

hello everyone. welcome 4buzybees. im kolleen. im due on the 4th of july with my second child. im having a girl. like tina said its been totally quiet around here lately. it normally is on the weekends but it seems like everyone is out doing stuff. TINA- thats cool u sold the washer today. hey did u guys hear the kicker stimulus checks are 5 days ahead of schedule. im so excited to get it cuz im spending alot of it on lylee. people keep telling me that i need to wait and see that alot of things will come from the shower, that i need to not buy anything. well i dont agree, if i wanna buy stuff im going to. i got her a little outfit that says mommys little girl. God i cant wait for her to get here. well i have to run to get the clothes from the laundry mat. 4BUZYBEES- where are u from. i see that u refer to kil instead of lbs. so r u in canada??

hey everyone. as alot of you know Friday i went into preterm labor. i was 29 weeks 6 days pregnant. as of today im 30 weeks 2 days pregnant (Still!!!) i was very scared so since April 20th i've been losing my mucus plug; Friday i was at work & i had braxton hicks which turned into actual contractions i went to labor & delivery. they had me hooked up to machines (id have one contraction every minute for like 15 minutes; then i wouldn't have any contractions for 45 minutes then id have alot really close again. well they did tests one called a protein test(to determine if there is a protein present by your cervix meaning you will deliver within the next 2 weeks (or where at least you'll go into labor)) well guess what it came out borderline-meaning it would be more like 2-3 weeks when ill go into labor. they also did a UTI; yeast infection & some other tests. comes back i have a UTI which is extremely weird considering nothing bothers me?. but who knows right? well finally after 4 1/2 hrs at labor & delivery i was sent home my contractions had nearly stopped & things seemed to be going alot better. they gave me a prescription for my UTI i went & got that & has a pleasant night sleeping my little heart away. i was released on normal but cautious conditions & activities. so im still very pregnant but its one scare that almost had me dying (i want my son here but jeeze not now.!!! he wasn't even 3/4 the way baked yet.)

Morning girlies! KENDRA!!! I just read your post on the forum and then here...oh my! Please take it easy and rest yourself as much as possible. I know you can't STOP labor necessarily, but didn't they give you anything to stop it or give you shots to mature Strad's lungs? I'd think they would do that for you? If not I'd beg them for it just so you can feel more safe with delivering early. He will be fine though either way! At this point all of our babies would be small, but would most likely make it. I'm having lots of BH too, some days more than others. Like Saturday I went to a friends daughter's bday party at the a park and was having them like every 10 minutes or so, but they were so sporadic and not painful that I just drank a bunch of water and sat at a picnic table and they went away. Everyone was like "should we take you to the hospital???" I laughed and was like noooooo...I'm the worrier too and wasn't really concerned. I think I'll just "know" when things move in that direction. Hell, I don't know. Last night I got my first dripping nosebleed and totally ruined my pregnancy pillow (which is WHITE). I've had nasal congestion for months now, but now I have both. I've been sitting here all morning with toilet paper shoved up both nostrils. yay! Tien, My name is Stefanie and I am 32 yrs old. Pregnant with my first and it's a baby girl...she is due July 4!
