Pregnancy Info HOME

Hey all sorry i didnt update yesterday the OB said yes some of the numbers were very high but there isnt a consistent high reading since i log my b/p during the day and bring him the results. So tomorrow at 830am we are meeting the OB at the hospital in L&D hes doing a biophysical profile, NST, urine check and some other testing. He said at this very moment he cannot legally justify taking the baby this early unless he is forced to so he said tomorrow will tell him the results and if he needs to do the surgery tomorrow then he will but i seriously doubt thats gonna happen. I go back to the OB on monday for a regular check up. APRIL - wonderful news about Jack that is beyond reasurring i know Justin hates the NST never sits still i feel bad for him. MELISSA - Justin was weighing in 5lb 8oz last week too so i am curious as to what he weighs tomorrow. Well i am going to rest right now my dad took me to get my hair done so thats one more thing off the list of the things that need to be done before the little guy gets here. K2 - i am glad things are going to be ok with you no more scares on here people!!

APRIL- So happy to hear your good news about the baby. Hopefully all will continue in the positive. ROBYN- Same for you. Each day you keep him in is better for him. Sounds like no Super Bowl baby for you. LOL. ASTRA- Bummer about the shoulder. Better get it back to 100% and soon. You're going to need strong arms to carry that lo around. Everyone needs to really take it easy. It's getting sooo close that we all need to be fit and healthy for our lo's who are arriving soon. Not much goign on here today. I hope to get around to packing my bag this weekend so I can cross that off my list. I'd also like to get a pedicure, adn have DH shave what I can't see/reach. No romance there; I just NEED help to get the job done. :) Happy Friday all.

Hi girls. April, so glad to hear Little Jack is doing great. So rea__suring! And Robyn, glad Justin is hanging out a while longer. I had a scare this morning and wanted to see what you gals thought. I woke up at 4am to go pee and when I wiped, the toilet paper was full of blood. And I noticed a little in the potty. But I went back to sleep and so far this morning haven't had anymore. I went ahead and called my ob nurse as she is on call this weekend. She told me not to be worried unless it continues or gets worse. She said anything could make the cervix bleed. But I am just a little nervous. For the last 3 days I have had mild period like cramps and also yesterday had a few sharp like pains that I a__sume might have been contractions. Anyway, I'm probably overreacting but any help or advice anyone can give me would be great. I see my ob on Friday for my weekly checkup and she will examine me for the first time and do my GBS. Thanks & have a great weekend.

Brandy I had the same thing early Tuesday morning. I got up in the middle of the night to pee to find blood on the tissue. It wasnt very much though and it only happened two times. Once in the middle of the night , and once at early in the morning. I went to the doc on Wed. I explained it to him. He gave me the exact same info that your doc gave. Since then ive had some brownish colored mucousy stuff on the tissue. He first had thought I had s_x.. because that can irritate the cervix easily.. but I hadnt. He said I probably just need to slow down. Make sure to keep a good eye on it, and if there is more.. go get checked out. ~Kristin~

Hi guys, hope you all are having a fun Sat. morning. My shoulder is better (thanx April), I guess I better be careful next yoga cla__s I go to. Brandy and Kirstin, I hope everything continues smoothly, I think I would have been nervous to be spotting too, even if it is so slightly. Feeling so heavy today, which makes me feel moody too, gotta snap out of it...

Hey girls OK heres the update little Justin or shall i say BIG Justin is weighin in at almost 7lbs thats over a pound in a week. I am measuring over 37 weeks right now and tomorrow i will be 36 weeks. So.. the non-stress test went great i had several contractions on the monitor that you could see looked like mountains. They checked my cervix i am not dilated at all. So the b/p was normal at the hospital so on scoring for the NST he got a 10 out 10 which is great on the biophysical profile he got an 8 out of 8 which is also great. My amniotic fluid is on the low range of normal the normal range is 7.7 - 24.9 i am 8.1 in the 5% range so of course i started to freak out the OB said dont freak its still normal just continue to drink tons of fluids remember the more you drink the more you pee the more the baby swallows. So i go Monday for an OB check up and then tues or wednesday he wants me to get another u/s he said if the fluid is lower than what it is today we will just take him hes in no danger. OK... so they actually moved up my due date from March 2nd to Feb 24th since i am measuring big and with all the measurements they can determine that. So other than that all is seeming well.

Well I had my first birthing cla__s today. It was pretty interesting. There was only one other girl there with me and she is 31 weeks so I've got her beat by a couple, hehe. It was nice to have such a small group since I could feel more free to ask questions. I feel more confident already. We watched a water birth video from an episode of some show on the Discovery Health channel so it was nice and blurred out at some parts, hehe. My midwife said we won't always be lucky but she will only show us "normal" births and none of those freak-you-out births. Glad to hear that!! It was so funny though because on the show when the baby was crowning I almost cried. Then when it came out I almost cried again. I got so emotional, which is not like me. I admitted it to DH and he admitted that he got misty eyed when the baby came out, too, and commented how neat it is to be having a baby. What a sweet guy, huh? I am really not feeling good though. I have been getting morning sickness again the past few days. And today I have terrible diarrhea-- the kind you hear rumbling in your intestines (I feel so sorry for Claire having to listen to all of it!!) and comes out just straight water. I know, I know TMI. I am just so tired of sitting on my toilet!! Astra, I am due 5 days after you so you could still ditch me here. Robyn, glad to hear Justin is measuring so huge! A pound in a week, dang! Brandy everything sounds good with you-- just sounds like you're getting closer. My midwife said that bleeding towards the end is normal and nothing to worry about as long as it's small amounts. Large amounts can mean the placenta is tearing off which is not good, but you'd know if that was happening. April, glad to hear Jack is nice and busy in there. Well hope everyone is having a good weekend. Go Patriots! Whoop them Giants!!

Morning ladies. Robyn I was so happy to read that Justin is measuring so big and your bp is doing ok, keep hydrating! Sarah, I'm so sorry to hear about your digestion troubles. I relate, this pregnancy I've been almost as preoccupied by my digestion as everything else happening... Last night I went to a school play with a friend (she had some kids she knew there). I got so frustrated because I was so uncomfortable and Jr. was kicking, squirming and hopping about. By the end of the night I thought I was in hell which bugs me so much, I just want to be able to be normal again. Also my hubbie organized my preggie photos on line and I got to see the slide show from when I just had a baby bump to now, well what can I tell you, I look at the old photos and think, who is that slender, normal looking woman and when can I see her again? Not complaining, just wierd... Sarah I'm with you...go pats!

Monica i know that today is probably going to be a busy day, getting those last touches on everything. I just wanted to wish you the best for tomorrow. I cant wait to see pictures of your radiant face looking at those two little beauties that are soon to be out rather then in. February 5th is finally here!!! (((hugs)))~Kristin~

Monica!!! Its literally hours away for you :) I bet your excited!!! I know i would be !! Best of luck (not that its really a luck thing)...best for everything tomorrow. ROBYN - glad to hear Justin is doing well and you lucky thing...you also get an advance on your due date ....! I just keep praying my little one comes a couple of weeks early (am almost 36 wks, so anything from 2 weeks from now is fine with me!!!) LOL. I truly am aching for it to happen. Not long now tho for all of us!!! The home stretch :) As i cant sleep these days (2-3 hrs a night), i spend my nights getting music together in itunes for a playlist for when im in labour so i can play it in delivery suite. Its mostly cla__sical and really heartfelt songs that make me emotionally so happy i cry! ive also started finally packing that bag from my list! My hubby is now fully trained in cooking (he couldnt cook anything before), and can now cook roast dinners, and stir frys and bolognaise, and even chocolate pudding with custard and ice cream!! My feet and ankles look so puffed you would think that id been stung by a zillion bees or something! lol...i dont even fit into my slippers or ugg boots ... Anyway...hope ur all doing well.

Oh..Brandy/Kristin...i hope ur bleeding is gone ..and April, glad to hear your birthing cla__s went well. I love when the babies come out...my dh and I get teary as well..more as we are imagining what our own experience is going to be like and how exhillirating it will be to hold our little child in our arms and call ourselves mummy and daddy for the first time ever!!!! OMG!! Its going to be real very very soon!!!

Morning girls, Monica i am so excited for you i know we talk 100 times a day but you know i love you and you are a best friend and this has been a long road for you and hubby and now you will have the rewards you both have worked so hard for. I cant believe in 2 weeks i will be in the hospital officially having a c-section in an hour. This is all just seeming like a dream. All of us didnt we just start this thread LOL. Its gone so fast. CHRIS my ankles are so swollen too the b/p has been normal again so i am expecting a rise sometime this week. Today is my OB appt and then another scan tues or wed to see whats up with the amniotic fluid lets hope i can make it to 38 weeks i was just 36 weeks yesterday.

Monica- Best wishes on your arrivals today!!! I'm so happy we are finally reaching our last weeks. I'm all ready for little Hannah!! No showers for me because I having another girl and we have everything Alexis had when she was a newborn. , I'm basically all set and just ordered big boxes of diapers between Alexis and Hannah. Hope our bellies are doing fantastic, and I can't wait to hear on Monica's birth story when she returns and cute pics of the babies! Erica

Monica, Blessings for you and the babies! I can't believe tomorrow is the big day. So excited and can't wait to see pictures of the babies. Robyn, I got teary eyed as I read your post. You're next and 2 weeks will fly by! Everyone take care & have a wonderful week. No more bleeding for me. Must have just been my cervix. I am anxious about my OB appt on Friday as she will see if I've dialated any yet!

Hello girls!! I haven't posted in a very long time, so I thought I'd check in. I will be 34 weeks on Wednesday and baby Wyatt is doing wonderful!!! At my last appointment, he is measuring 2 weeks ahead and according to u/s, he's in the 83rd percentile!! My bp has stayed on the down side lately, so hopefully that will continue. We will have another u/s on the 28th and if he still measures that big, we may be induced early. She told me that as long as I make it past 36 weeks, she wouldn't try to stop me if he decided to come early!!! The nursery is complete and all my shower things have been put away. We put the car seats in yesterday, so I am just waiting for him to be ready!! I can't belive some of us are already having our babies--the time has certainly flown by!!! Hope you all are doing wonderful. Hopefully I will have more time to keep up now!!

Brandy - you brought tears to my eyes with your post too i think its all hormones LOL i just hope we all decide to stay in touch afterwards and maybe move to the infant care forum so we have an idea on how we are all doing. VAL - aweome on the percentile on little or shall i say BIG WYATT i am measuring ahead too. Well i have an OB appt today its just routine i really should never say that LOL. I have been drinking so much fluids hoping to increase those amniotic fluid to keep it in the normal range so i will find that out too tomorrow or wednesday. Ok gotta get a shower. OH my husbands company is throwing him a surprise baby shower today. The CEO told him its a surprise and to act surprised because they dont know one day to the next if hes gonna be here so Jason said theres alot of presents around here today and he thought he was having a business luncheon HA i said dumb a__s its your party today.
