Pregnancy Info HOME

I totally wish we lived closer to the hospital so that DH could bring dinner daily. This is getting old. He's going on a shopping run for snacks, drinks, etc. in a few days so that if I run into the gross food again, I'll have a backup plan. The bugs not only grossed me out but ticked me off. I had a conversation (not the most pleasant) with the food service lady. My l/o does get hiccups quite a bit, but because she's always moving it doesn't bother me much. Plus I'm laying down all day long so I guess I'm used to it. My doc came in this morning. We'll probably have an amnio done around 34-35 weeks, and if her lungs are fully developed at that time, then we'll go ahead with a c-section. So, I may be only looking at 4-5 more weeks instead of 6-8. YES!!!!

Hi girls, i was reading your progress and just wanted to say hi and congrats on being on the third tri board!! Im so jealous right now! Im 9wks and got to see the baby and the heartbeat last week, im just so glad that he or she is hanging in so far. I also got toxoplasmosis so i was so stressed but the drs confirmed thats gone now and the babys ok. Im sorry youve all been having so many aches and pains and bedrest - but i bet your glad your not back at 9wks and having all the horrendous nausea and constipation that ive been having. Plus you know your little ones will be here very soon! I like all your names by the way. Anyway, well done for getting this far and i hope the next 2 months go quickly for you all! And painfree deliveries too!! xx

Thanks MissP and GL to you! Jaira: hang in there! I'm glad that they may do a csection for you. How's your back?

Miss P congrats on making it this far! As far as my back, it seems to be manageable. I'm using a walker to get to/from the restroom and shower. So that helps a lot. I still tend to get sharp pains when I roll over or move a certain way, but they haven't reduced me to tears again. So I'm hoping that it will get better with time or continue to be manageable.

I think the first tri tiredness has made its way back around in the third tri. I looked at baby-gaga update for this week and it has little cartoons. This week's (28w) said "I think my nesting instinct has been replaced by the sitting around and eating icecream till I puke instinct" Thats EXACTLY how I feel! This morning I told myself that I'd come home and clean up this place, but once I was home I decided I'd much rather take a nap. I knew I'd probably get tired again before the pregnancy was over, but I really hate it! The pukeyness I could get over, but the exhaustion, UGH! JAIRIA, woohoo on the possible early delivery! Hopefully your little one will be delivered happy and healthy soon. You're almost there! Do they do anymore cervical checks on you or pretty much leave you be?

Miss P - thanks for the sympathy, and good luck to you. I had another u/s today where the tech confirmed not only was my placenta covering my cervix, but she said it was wrapped around it!! How is that possible, I never even heard of that before. Sigh. I'm just hoping when I go to the dr. next Wednsday, he doesn't want to move my bedrest up. But , baby is DEFINITELY a boy lol. Dh and I got to see him yawn on the u/s, it was so cool. Jaira - hang in there. It seems like you're having a pretty rough time, but just keep thinking about the reward at the end!

Wrapped around it? Like.... on the outside, in your v____a instead of in your uterus? Good luck at your next appointment and I hope you get to stay out of bed for as long as possible (of course, if thats safe for you and baby!)

chattykathy - you know, i'm not exactly sure. she just kept referring to it being "wrapped around" but i never even thought to ask around what lol.

RMC, I saw your post on the bedrest thread. You can totally do it. Although it's not fun, if that's what it takes for a healthy baby, then you can do it. I know it's easier said than done. Trust me I know...especially since my bedrest is in the dag gum hospital. However, I know that once our l/o(s) are here and safe, we'll quickly forget all of the troubles and issues. I think that's the only thing that keeps me sane right now. So if you need a bedrest buddy....I'm here!!!

Jaira - thanks for the pep talk! I should be giving you one, poor thing. At least I'll be in the comfort of my home. You're having to deal with that horrible hospital ): I am thinking he might move me up to a sooner bedrest date from the way the u/s tech kept talking about the previa, but whatever I have to do to make it through.

Hey guys, I feel kind of down now... I went to my ob appointment yesterday and have to go for another u/s bcause I'm 30 weeks and measuring 26 (last appointment was 26w measuring 23). My OB didn't seem very concerned because the uterus is growing, but still, I worry like crazy. My u/s is scheduled for Friday though, so that's Not too bad. The only thing is sometimes the technicians don't say a lot, they prefer to forward everything to the Dr. Anyway, I had also been on a compet_tion at work for a promotion ( for a job in which I have been acting for 6 months now) and found out today that I failed. I know, I should concentrate on staying positive but I'm just having a BAD DAY!!!

Hi Everyone. I feel so bad Jaira, and RMC. bedrest would so suck. i like to sit back and relax but it just leads to pain the hips and sides. although i would welcome it only becase i work with the worlds biggest b*tch and just want to get away from her. i'm debating telling my ob or my family dr that the stress is just too much and getting a dr's note so i can take off a little early but hang on to my pay. does anyone of you know sick leave rules and laws in canada? how do you deal with a rude and mean coworker. i mean one day it stressed me out so much i didn't realize how much until i left work feeling nauseous and then when i got home i felt dizzy and i was shaking...i know it was the stress because we had some words that day. she's just so mean and rude and i couldn't take it anymore so i told her....i'm so not confrontational this took a lot....i thought i felt better afterwards but i guess i didn't. that plus then the rest of the week was hell with her....grrrr...i hate mean people.

I LOVE MY DOCTOR!!! I'm so excited. He came in for his daily morning chit chat. He said that we need to make a decision. There's a new hospital that is being opened down the street. Actually, it's open already. This was the hospital that I was supposed to deliver at, but due to unforeseen circ_mstances I'm stuck here at the other hospital. Well he came in this morning and said that we have 2 options. He said that I could remain at this hospital but he would find a new doctor for me as he's totally transferring to the new hospital down the street. The other option was to have him discharge me sometime late next week once I've pa__sed 30 weeks (which is this Friday). Immediately after being discharged, I can feel "as if something isn't right" which would require me to meet him at the new hospital where I would then be admitted. So, I'm so excited that I get to "move on up" and upgrade. Plus I'll actually get to go outside for 10 minutes.

Jaira, I'm sincerely happy to hear that; the place you are at right now seems to suck big time! And your Dr is definitely great! You know you can definitely count on him! So now, only 48 more hours to go!!!

JAIRIA, woohoo! Your doctor seems very nice and concerned with your well-being. Congrats on getting to go outside for a bit! --- Phew. I totally made up for being a lazy bones yesterday. I know I said I wouldn't push myself too hard for the rest of the pregnancy, but the mess was driving me nuts! (I must be nesting or something) so I spent the afternoon cleaning and I'm beat! Now my back is killing me, but at least I can relax... sort of. Gavin decided he would STRETCH as far as he could today, and it actually hurt a little! He seems to be starting to run out of room, which is going to make these last few months oh so fun! But it is pretty cool because now its easier to feel (and see!) him on the outside!

Wow!!! I had a lot to catch up on :>) Jairia, so glad you're changing hospitals, no more bugs!!!!! Hopefully the rest of bedrest will be more pleasant :>) My Dr. is making me quit work on the 14th. She wanted me out last Monday, but I got 2 more weeks out of her :>) The presenting baby is head down, but she is the smaller of the two. She weighed about 2 lbs 10 ounces at 28 weeks. The bigger baby 3 lbs 1 oz is breech of course, so we have a c-section scheduled for Cinco de Mayo if the breech baby doesn't cooperate. They want the bigger baby to come first to make way for the second. I guess there is still time for both of them to turn around. I'm technically not due until the 18th of May. We'll see :>) Chatty, isn't the 3 and 4 D amazing!!!!!! We couldn't do it this time with twins, but every time we have an ultrasound, they'll flip it into 4-D when they are focused on their faces!! So cute!!! I hope everyone is doing well!!! We're almost there ladies :>)
