Pregnancy Info HOME

Yeah I hope it stays manageable. My doc said that at my next visit if it gets any higher or if it's still that high after me resting all week then they will have to send me over to the hospital to get some more testing. It does make me feel better though that when they did the NST, the babies heartbeat was fine, and my bp wasn't affecting him at all they said. I'm just a worry wart and get paranoid about everything. You know whenever you look something up on the internet it freaks you out. Like it was saying that hypertension or high bp can cause stillbirth. So now I'm like feeling for every little movement.

Fefer is this your last one? It sure is for me lol but i am single so thats why ...plus i am 31 I think I am good with 2 kids. Gabby my bp is always low or where they want it - i sit in the waiting room so long i almost fall asleep lol and if i start to get worked up i talk to myself in myhead and calm myself down lol So when is your last day of work?

yeah, there is lots of stuff out there to freak you out. I try not to think about it or worry about it. If my dr isn't worried, I'm not gonna be. I remember being really surprised when mine jumped up but I had such a consistent record of low BP that I didn't worry. Sometimes it depends on who takes your BP as well. And of course, stress. If it was low after laying down I'd say it sounds good. Don't stress. :) I'm REALLY antsy today - totally ready for this baby to get out of me and wondering if I'm getting ready for labor cuz of all the stuff I'm feeling. I was induced with my daughter so I really don't know how it feels. I wish I knew for sure so I could plan! My mom wants to be here and she needs 3 hours to get here - and if it's in the middle of the night she will wait till morning. I need her here to take pictures for me!!!

Today is actually my last day of work. I'm here right now. I'm working today but kinda not. She really only wanted me to pick up the girls from school and then they wanted to have a little going away dinner for me. The only thing thats kinda getting to me is that she never paid me from last week, and it's like 400 dollars. So I hate how I am going to have to ask for it when they are making me this really nice dinner. Oh and I better get paid for today too, haha. Honestly, not to be crude or anything, but no matter how you look at it, this is a job. I am also thinking that she may give me kind of a going away gift, probably money. Last summer I took off to go to school full time and they gave me $250 to say thank you and good luck, so I'm hoping this goes kind of the same way. I could really use the extra money. I swear I sound so greedy, but I really am not like that.

gabby that is how anyone would be unless your rich and work for the sheer pleasure of it lol which is rare! i would be the same way - she will probably hook you up she seems to really like you if she is throwing you a lil going away dinner! Fefer you and I really do have some stuff in common lol i dont know how it feels to go into labor on my own either cause they induced me with chastidy so I am kinda just blind trying to figure this all out. My mom is coming for mine too and it takes them an hour to get here she is suppose to be the person in the room with me - no pics though LOL noooo thank you haha .. O so I went through all of the stuff this woman gave me and I dont really want the jumparoo it takes up to much room and i have a ton of stuff so i listed it on craigslist lol is that bad of me when i got it free? I only asked 25 bucks just cause i dont want to haul it to the salvation army and i figure that is what i spent in gas driving allll the way out to that ladies house to pick it up. Cash just ate a frosty paw lol and i stuck my hand in there and he just backed off - he is a smart boy!

Dawn, all the stuff that my dad gave us, that we got duplicates of, I listed on CL too. Nobody responded to any of it though. I listed it for pretty cheap too. Like 60 bucks for a stroller with an infant car seat, and 20 for a swing, and 20 for a bouncy seat. But people are cheap. Who knows, we are trying to sell a dining room table on there too. It's like a dark cherry oak and all the otehr wood in our house is light.

Ok girlies be back later, gotta go pick up the girls.

I was looking at some travel systems on there the other day I seen a nice one for pretty cheap but then I thought why bother she gave me a nice car seat and I washed it an all - just that the one on there looks easier to work lol I have the jumparoo listed on there and i just sold the dryer and a box spring ... then dany (chas' dad ) had me list a bedroom set and tv and his business inventory on there too - I have some clothes that are nice stuff but I would rather list that on ebay .. I only sell like flawless stuff - the rest i give away I am surprised to see all the c___p people sell on there .. asking 200 for a 13 yr old sofa with stains or missing covers lol disgusting. O and i am selling one of my brand new chairs on there i am still paying on it i got it for 250 i am selling it for 175 its realllly nice but taking up room so i need it out of here. You know with that site you have to be persistent and like relist every week i had my dryer on there for months then all of a sudden 3 ppl want it lol

yeah dawn - we are in the same boat. :) Due 2 days apart too. :) My mom took pictures with my dd and was very tasteful. There were NO shots of me..down there. She did a really good job and I hardly noticed she was there which was nice. My step mom was there and my sister - and I felt really weird having them staring at me while I was in pain. :) I really am antsy though - I can't sit still and I want him OUT!!! I feel soo sick too - really sick to my stomach. I just ate a peanut b___ter bagel and still feel gross. Gabby -I understand your situation. I'd be anxious to get paid - and see what else was in store. :) well, I'm gonna run up and down the stairs with the laundry a few times and see if that helps things along. It's raining or I'd go for a walk..

Hi ladies. I just got back from my doctor's appointment, I had a v____al culture and it was really uncomfortable. It felt like my skin was raw and he was like sc___ping at it, so I was twisting around and saying "ow ow ow!!" Afterwards he smiled and said "You're getting the epidural, right?" So he thinks I'm a wimp now lol. Usually I handle pain really well but I've been having some awkward uncomfortable cramps down there so I felt like he was making them worse. He explained that my cervix is in a cone shape, and the part facing the baby is open, but the part facing the outside is closed. Anyway when I got home my grandma told me social services had stopped by... My dad called them again. They left a card so my mom called them back and left them her phone number. I really don't get why my dad is so adamant about taking my child away from me... He was 17 when he had his first child too. He left her when she was ten though, to go make more babies... I guess he thinks I'll do the same thing. I don't mind speaking with social services because I really have nothing to hide. I had a feeling I'd be talking again with them soon so I saved some of the voicemails my dad left me calling me a whore and that I should be ashamed and whatnot. I'm hoping that will be enough for them to realize he's just a tad on the crazy side. He's also been making up random stories about how I egged my neighbor's house and they have it on video... I've never egged a house in my life, I don't even really see the purpose in it. My mom says all the alcohol is starting to mess with his head... he makes up a lot of stories that are just not even remotely true but he believes them. I don't know, I realize and understand why a lot of people don't support my pregnancy and I'm not asking him or anyone else for help... This was my decision and I take full responsibility for it, but I don't see why he insists on making things harder than they already are. It's fine if he doesn't support me, but I just want him to leave me alone if that's the case. Bleh, okay I just needed to get that out I guess :)

aww it stopped raining here today and started there?! I mowed my lawn so i had to carry that heavy a__s lawn mower lol i was hoping that would help me along.. I dont feel sick to my stomach at all - last night i did but that was from 3 cup cakes haha other then that my stomach is the only thing not in pain ... my bowels well that is what it is lol Its weird cause I want this lil girl out so bad but at the same point i hate to leave my puppy even for a day or two .. I feel SO bad about it like he will have my mom coming in and out to look in on him but still!! its not ME ...my mom was saying what am I gonna do when the baby is here he will be deprived but he so wont be - it will be the same as it is now - he takes ALOT of naps anyway lol

wow amanda that is reallly rough .. You seem to be handling it well ..alot better then I would my dad disowned me when I got pregnant with chastidy and i was 20 ..i lost it on him but i have a bad temper which i get from him lol ... he realized the error of his ways eventually ...its a shame you have to prove to people how you will be as a parent and they cant give you the benefit of the doubt until you DO something worthy of having child protective services called on you.

The only reason social services ever even comes by to talk to me is because my dad calls and tells them something that isn't even close to being true. He says that I do horribly in school (I haven't had anything under a B- in over three years), that I do drugs (Never in my life. Not even cigarettes or anything), that I drink excessively (I had a sip of some orange juice my brothers had put alcohol in on accident when I was 13), that my fiancee is abusive toward me and children (He's never even slightly hit me before, and he adores kids, he has two younger brothers age 7 and 13 and they look up to him and love hanging around him... they do play roughly with each other though, but nothing out of anger at all) and that I basically break the law on a daily basis (I suppose under age s_x is against the law but other than that I don't even litter or jay walk)... So most people don't believe that because they think pregnant teenager = rebel or something like that. But I've been with my fiancee for 4 years and I really honestly believe that I love him and that we will last (thus why I agreed to marry him :D) so giving my virginity to him wasn't an act of rebellion, or just two bored teenagers, it was purely an act of love. We wanted to be closer and we wanted to give one another something special that we could never give another person. So I still really don't see anything wrong with that. I'm sure social services finds it a little iffy, but if they did some research they'd see that my record is perfectly clean. My dad doesn't believe it because he really doesn't know me. In seventeen years he has never once attempted to sit down and just talk to me. I have always felt uncomfortable around him, not like he was my dad...He was just some guy. The only attention I'd ever receive is if I did something wrong. So seeing as how pregnancy, to him, is the worst thing I've ever done I'm getting PLENTY of attention from him. I just don't want it, and I never really have.

wow amanda, I'm so sorry! My dad totally would have disowned me if I had gotten pregnant young - but then my little sister got pregnant at 16 and he didn't do a thing. :) I didn't realize you were that young! How silly to call social services though - I'm sure you'll take care of it with no problems.

it does seem like social services always cracks down on the good parents and ignores the bad ones.....I see a lot of it because I work with teenagers that are homeless or abused and lots of them are pregnant young and keep their kids. Those situations are oftentimes bad and it kills me to see -and then you have a nice normal kid who's parents freak out. I just don't get it sometimes. I'm sure you will be fine though - you sound smart and together and they have to see that. Plus, won't your mom vouch for you?

Amanda - How many times has he called before? Have you met and spoken with them everytime? My mom tried to pull that BS with me, she's a hypochondriac, seriously, and wanted to drag my daughter to the dr. every week and nothing was ever wrong with her. I told her not to come over anymore and she started trying to come over when I was at work and ask my husband to see her and bad mouth me to him as much as she could. If they were outside playing she would try to hide behind the carports and spy on them. I cut her out totally and she wanted to take my daughter to a specialist because she learned how to roll her eyes and said she was having seazures....which she already tried to do before and about flipped out when the dr. told her she was wrong. Anyway she tried to call them on me for that and pretty much saying we beat our daughter because she got swatted on the b___t once for running out in the middle of the street almost in front of a car when we never spank her. Of course nothing came out of it, but she went so far to call the governor's office to complain and say they weren't doing their jobs when it got dismissed. Wierdo. They said they have to look into it when somebody calls but after the same person calling 2-3 times and it being c___p they stop. My dad also told me when he found out I had her if I really loved her I'd give her up for adoption because I'd never be able to go to school or accomplish anything. He came around after my only response was go to hell and not talking to him for a year....and during that time I proved him wrong. Woo went on my own little vent there LOL sorry, but I know the c___p you're dealing with and even though you aren't doing anything wrong it causes you unnecissary stress. DAMMIT FEFER! You were supposed to have that baby last night! Haven't you been listening to my coaching?! LOL sorry you got your hopes up and still aren't feeling well. gabby - it's almost over mama! Are you excited to have all that time to youself now? Don't feel bad hoping you get something lol it's like me being p__sed none of my coworkers came to my shower, then whining about how badly they need me back at work whenever I stop in. You've probably become like extended family to them. heather - wow, you'd have a lot of work to do girlie! You've had a pretty easy pregnancy though right? I love my son, he's so easy but I swear, after worrying for 4 months that he could die I don't know if I could handle being pregnant again. All that fear and I had nothing to worry about the whole time! Granted the preterm labor sucked, but I didn't even mind that THAT much, it was just the constant worry. We uh....were naughty this morning :P and when we were done he wanted to go again and was like let me stop before my fertile a__s makes another baby and the next thing I know you're saying baby, I'm late. It only took us a month trying. Christie and dawn you guys have to stop making me so hungry! I want to go out and get icecream now! Besides disko, nobody else on here has more than one little one already right? My daughter is 4 and I thought her as a newborn was so overwhelming.....now that it's the second time with my son I'm like Oh my God, he's SO easy. He only cries when we wakes up to eat and needs to be changed so it's like hey woman I'm hungry come get meeee! My daughter actually needs more attention and I thought she'd be the independent one because she's older, but she's actually more work. I thought she got easier as she got older lol you guys are gonna be surprised because it's totally different than I though it would be.
