Pregnancy Info HOME

WeeJulz- I totally understand... I didnt think I'd get bad stretch marks...and at 32 weeks it started with like 3 or 4 under my belly b___ton area and now I've got like 12 or 15 all under my belly b___ton. At least its down lower. But they'll fade...so Im not too worried. A beautiful baby is all worth it. ;-) yeah with the s_x thing I asked DH last night if he wanted to get laid, and he was totally thrownoff and suprised and said " I guess". Then I laughed and said " Well that is NOT the response you give a preggo woman...lol, so nevermind! You totally killed my mood " Hahaha, poor guy went ot bed with blue b___s, aqnd I laughed hysterically for 5 mintues in bed before we fell asleep. I've been laughing at the weirdest things though. Kay- I think Curtis is going to prove to be a big guy here pretty soon. I mean, 2 lbs and 2 inches in a month, AND he was a month early? Yeah- hes doing great!

yeah- where IS Amanda? and Catherine? Hmmm...Raiken is definitely due tommorrow, so we can count on at least one more baby this week. I love all this baby news! I'm glad Gabby had her baby without having to be induced or anything. When was her actual due date anyway? gosh, 9 lbs, I still cant believe it! OH and yu guys remember HIOANNIDIS? She is being induced this friday but wasn't due for another 2 weeks! I still have to hear back from her on why shes being induced, but theres another June Mommy going this week for sure!

I should take naps more often! Seems like when I do these days something exciting happens! :) YAY GABBY! I kind of had this feeling that's what was going on. I can't wait to hear the story!!!!! woohoo!!!!! Raiken- don't stress about the inducement. I know so many people who have had them just fine. In fact, I don't know anyone who had a problem with it at all. Good luck and get some rest!!! :) christie - good news! the party is getting started - and like heather said, in first timers, effacement comes first and then dilation - but you know what I've learned? It is all dependent on the person. :) Here I sit, with Disko (100% effaced) and me at 80% for a month now - past my due date. argh!!! At least disko you have some time to go still. At the mall I got asked so many times "when are you due?" I wanted to be funny and say September. hahahaha...Hey, I am feeling crampier than I have in a while and when I went to the bathroom earlier there was a lot more slimy stuff than I've seen in a while. I'm trying not to get my hopes up though...

She did say the labor wasnt bad at all but thats all she said .. I cant wait to see him! I cant believe 9lbs myself !! Thats awesome ! I hope she relaxes while she is in the hosptial cause I didnt believe them when they said oo when you get home things are hectic ..but between the dogs and the baby I still struggle with the juggling ..well she has fred so it wont be this mess I deal with lol Kay do you pump at all? I refuse to - do you think it will effect my milk coming in if i dont? I am probably only going to b___stfeed til I have to go back to work .. so like 3 months like I did with chas :o/

kay, curtis sounds like he's doing great! Speaking of baby weights - I was at the mall today and this woman asks how old my dd is - 21 months. I asked about her son -12 months - and he's MUCH bigger than her! I about c___pped. DDT - my dd cried ALL THE TIME for 5 months. She had colic and acid reflux. Miserable. I can only hope this one is a dream in comparison. :) I totally bet Amanda is giving birth too - what's with all of you going early??? Can't someone join me in the late crew????? :)

Omg fefer you should say september lol that would be HILARIOUS hahaha !! DDT your lucky violet isnt a BIG cryer but when she gets started wow lol .. It seems she doesnt like her bouncette thing or the swing or anything but me ..she likes laying on my chest and wants to be nursed til she falls asleep - thats all she does too nurse - poop - sleep lol ... and she poops while i nurse her she has ma__sive diarrea too but i guess that is normal?

Oh man, I forgot I spazzed out on somebody on the discomfort forum.....she wasn't even 25 weeks and was trying to find a way to induce herself NOW because her abs are a little sore. Yeah wow. DDT enjoy it while it lasts! My son was like that the first week he was home. Just an absolute doll and now he's a crab! I think I might cave and give him a pacifier and see if it makes him less fussy. I can deffinately say my pregnancy was 1OO% different than my last. raiken - I was induced with my first and nobody told me I couldn't get out of bed. I was under the impression I could walk around, take a bath, do whatever just like most women can but I had to sit in bed to be monitored. Bring something to do just in case things start out slow because you might actually get a little bored and need something to help pa__s the time. Poor fefer :( I don't know how you're still getting around. I may have missed it since I haven't really been on the past 2 days but have they talked about how far past your due date they'll let you go? I know you wanna go naturally though. Oh! Yay christie! I just saw you're 7O% effaced so woohoo for progress!

yeah, 9 lbs!! wow! Sorry Dawn, it's hard being a single mom! I don't know that from personal experience - I just know it's hard enough WITH help!

Dawn are you 1OO% b___stfeeding? If you are there's no need to pump, and even if you sub a little formula here and there you should be fine. I'm just not totally keen on the b___stfeeding thing so I would pump and give it to him in a bottle and then bf at night so he'd sleep. I'm giving him more formula now though. Like your dd fefer my daugher had reflux too and I think he might. He would spit up really forcefully either right after I got him in position to burp him or right after he burped. It was almost like he'd throw up, then he'd get really really bad hiccups after EVERY feeding and would still do the normal baby spit up during that. I told his dr. I put him on enfamil ar and was trying to feed him smaller amounts more frequently and keep him upright after feedings and she called me dr. mom since I already knew what to do lmao the little moster at 5 ounces after his appointment!

kay - they will let me go the 2 weeks for sure. My friend has the same doctor and she was 2 weeks late and had to be induced. I don't THINK that will happen to me but we'll see!! Who on earth wants to get induced at 25 weeks???!!! What a nut! I would have spazzed too!! I also love the pacifier!!! I was determined not to use it with Rachel but at 5 weeks of constant crying I couldn't take it anymore. I can't believe they wouldn't let you get up when you were induced?? They let me do what I wanted up until I got the epidural of course. But it was so bad anyways that I just wanted to lay in my bed and cry. :) I did make quick time of it!

yeah, rachel would projectile vomit ALL THE TIME. I was so glad we put wood floors in our house. I would always get barf down the bra, down the shirt, all over my clothes, her clothes...It was so miserable for a while. She had a lot of clothes for a reason - I didn't want to do laundry every single day. :) They even put her on medication but it wasn't doing anything so we stopped - and at 5 months put her on rice cereal and she got better.

Oh yeah another reccomendation for being induced is to get the epidural early! Haha those contractions, I'm sorry to say, are way more painful than natural ones. I was curled up in a ball crying on the phone to curtis when I was in labor with my daughter and he was so proud to see me doing the same thing for ten hours and being so much stronger this time. Of course I broke down when they gave me the spinal this time because my blood pressure dropped super low and I felt like the room was closing in on me and I couldn't breathe. I think I was having a panic attack, it didn't last long, but once they got some oxygen on me and somebody started talking to me and rubbing my hand I felt better.

Oh oh haha I used to keep an extra shirt for ME in her diaper bag!

yep - ditto on the shirt thing. :) And yes...the contractions come so much faster and stronger when you are induced. ;) Not to scare anyone or anything! Good luck good luck Raiken!!!! I want to know where amanda is...it's driving me crazy all this baby suspense!!!

Yep gals, making progress, but with everyone else not getting anywhere with progress I think I'll continue to think I still have at least 3 weeks to go! LOl! It seems like the ones who havent made a lot of progress are going earlier. Lol...Fefer-slimy stuff is a good sign! THis MAY BE YOUR NIGHT! Hopefully! Lol.... Its storming like mad out here. Hail is falling down! I gotta work on dinner...be back in a while!

Im ssoooo excited for Gabby! I cant wait to read her story! fefer and christie you guys inspired me to go walk around the mall and now it feels like my pelvis is going to fall out lol. I have been crampy all day too. not so pleasant =/ I have a doctors appointment tomorrow in the morning so yay for that!
