Hey guys! wv_red: I personnally feel like a whale (even if I don't look like it!), so there goes the big fat black dress for V day!!!! RMC: I hear you. I can't get comfy at night but for the most part, it's because of my hips. They hurt so much! I guess it's all the weight...

Hi Ladies, Just checking in on all the Mommies I hope everyone is doing ok. Did someone say "WADDLING"??? I am right by your side; I have been waddling for the past few weeks. lol.........WOW...... ladies we have come so far and time is running out, I am starting to get so excited to see my l/o. I remember the very beginning when we were on the first-trimester board, it seem like yesterday. As I think back.....it was a lot of women who started with us...did not make it this far. I am happy that we all have made it this far, just thinking out loud. Belly~Rubs~To~All

Well, I didn't post after my appointment because I was too busy getting checked into the hospital and giving dh a list of things to do/ things that I need for the hospital. Once again, my cervix has shortened significantly. I now have only .68 cm left which apparently is a major cause for concern. On top of that she's so low (litterally has her feet standing on my bladder). Both doctor's are concerned that I could go into labor at any time. I'll only be 27 weeks tomorrow. So I'm praying that I can get her to stay in for a good 8 more weeks or so. My OBGYN wants me to get through the next week to 28 weeks. I'm so frustrated, but I guess the hospital is the best place to be. I guess I put make-up on yesterday for nothing. Darn....

Jairia, I'm sorry to hear that. It sounds like a very frustrating situation. I hope your l/o can stay put for as long as possible. On my end, I'm doing well. I feel really good. I join all of you in the waddling...my DH decided to point it out. He thinks it's "cute." My major complaint right now though is sleeping. Like you, RMC, I just can't seem to get comfortable at night. I lay there and fantasize about sleeping on my stomach, like I used to every night. That would be heaven! And then I always wake up around 4:00 and can't go back to sleep. But I try to catch up when I can. Chattykathy, I feel your pain. My friends have actually been great. It's more my mother-in-law and mom that are annoying. But, of course, the MIL takes the cake. LuckyDiamond, I know what you mean. It does just seem like yesterday that we were on the first tri board! I can hardly believe that I'm almost 7 months pregnant now. I look at my belly in the mirror and think, "is that really me?" It's very surreal. Yes, we have lost a lot on the way. Some just disappeared some had very unfortunate things happen. I consider myself SO lucky. It reiterates how much of an honor and miracle it is to become a mom. I can't wait to hold my little guy! I'm sure we all feel the same. Belly rubs!

Jaira - I'm so sorry that you have to stay in the hospital but I agree, it must be the best place to be. I am having the worst sharp pains in my lower abdomen, but my dr is just attributing them to the previa. I swear they break me down to tears sometimes! Lol dh laughs at me whenever we go out because I waddle. It's hilarious. Catch up with ya'll later!

Jairia wow hospital, I too have to agree with the ladies, it is probably for the best. I hope the food is better then what it use to be. Its been a while since I have been to a hospital. Good luck and keep us posted. Well ladies I ended up going to the doctors for a worry appointment. I was freaking out cause my lil one wasnt moving enough. She went from super active to hardly active at all and it freaked me out. Well it turns out everything is okay and Tori is okay, she is just in a position where I cant feel her kicks and move as much. It scared me but I feel alot better knowing she is okay. I guess from worrying so much it cause my BP to be really high. They were asking me tons of questions like what did I eat, and did I do any exercise before I came in. This was 9 in the morning and I left work to go. So they said go home and relax if I feel dizzy go to the hospital. I feel fine I didnt even realize it was high. I came home and later I was watching a baby story so I ended up crying, when I went to the bathroom to make sure my face wasnt streaked I notice I now have a blood red eye. I guess I popped a blood vessel. No idea how so now I have a bright red streak going through my eye! Wow. Well I am cooking a nice dinner for me and my hubby so I hope all of you ladies have a great V day!!! I am going to go try to shave "down there" without cutting myself since I can no longer see to shave. *sigh* Belly rubs!!!!

wv_red - lmao! Oh my goodness, I have the same problem with shaving, I had to have dh do it the other night!

Morning ladies! I hit the 28 weeks today! I guess the countdown has really begun now. Jaira: my thoughts are with you;please keep us posted. wv_red: take it easy this week-end!

I'm still hanging out in the hospital. Valentine's Day was totally sorry. DH had to stay home with the kids as we live 30 minutes away. My youngest was vomitting, and my nephew had a TON of homework (didn't finish until 10:00pm and he's in 4th grade). So the day was spent ALONE. Oh well. Today's a new day. I feel better today. Had a few scares over the last two days as the fetal monitor picked up 2 contractions on Wednesday and 3 yesterday morning. Thank goodness there haven't been anymore since. 1 more week from today until I hit 28 weeks. That will be a huge milestone for me. The first goal my OBGYN set for me was 28 weeks. Next goal will be 32 weeks. Almost there. I can do this!!!

Jairia -- you go girl!! we know you can do it -- I had my glucose screening test done this morning I will get the results on Tuesday and hopefully everything will come back as it should. I will keep you guys posted -- My next appointment is on the 25th of Feb and I hope they tell me that my placenta moved and that it's not longer low. I'm not worried yet about her being breech, there's plenty of time for her to change position, but I will be very happy also if they tell me that she turned around ... lets see ... have a great Friday and a super long weekend.

Hi ladies, i just thought id b___t in and say hi - i was with you on the 1st tri board, remember? Well...im pregnant again, its still early days, im 7wks on sunday and once again having a rocky road of it, but trying to remain hopefull. Im so sorry whats happened to Berlinsterlin though, thats so sad. Please, if you read this, come and join me on the pregnancy loss board because its very comforting and helped me a lot after my miscarriage in late October. Anyway girls im glad your all in various stages but mostly doing well, im pleased for you! I hope you all go to full term and have healthy little bundles to show for the wait. Il check in closer to may and see whats been happening! Take care all of you x x x

Missp - I remember, congratulations, I'm so glad you're back! Jaira - V Day alone totally sux ): But I'm sure he'll make it up to you somehow. cggirl - Congrats on the 28 wk mark! Sarahnicolesmom - my next appointment is the 25th as well, but I'm losing faith that my placenta will move since my previa actually got worse instead of better ): Have a great wknd!

Hi MissP, I remember you. I'm so glad to hear that you're pregnant. I had a feeling it wouldn't be long. I wish you the best of luck with your pregnancy. Thanks for checking in on us. It was nice to hear from you! Well, here I am, sitting in the dark at the computer at 5:23 am...I have been up since 3. It seems like whenever I go to bed, I am awakened exactly 5 hours later every single night. It's starting to drive me crazy. I usually just lay there and think but I decided to get up this time and check in with you ladies. What a great start to the weekend! Now I'll be exhausted tomorrow. But enough of that. I will hit the 27 week mark on Sunday and am doing the blood glucose test on wednesday. So is that syrup stuff you have to drink really that bad? I've heard it's kind of nasty. I'm just not looking forward to that because I hate to have my blood drawn. Guess I'd better get over the needle thing though! How's everyone else? Jairia, V-day sounds like it was a bust. But you can always make it up! I hope you all have a great holiday weekend!

reneenay - sorry to tell you, but the stories are true. The sugary stuff is horrible, no way around it. I have to take mine on the 25th so I'm not looking forward to it at all. My sister in law did hers this past week & hers came back she may have gestational diabetes so of course, i'm worried.

Renee, I think its all about the luck of the draw. I've heard some women say that the stuff they have to drink isn't bad at all, others say its horrible. Hopefully your doctor will be kind. lol I've also heard its best to watch your sugar intake a couple of days before the test to give your body the best chance at pa__sing it. Good luck, ladies!

hey ladies... Im due in June.. its SOO nice to see the may mommies on the third tri board! June mommies are next to make the move :) good luck ladies! have a happy last trimester.
