Hi ladies, sorry I had to post another one... the old one took about 5 mins to download at work and it was very frustrating...I hope no one minds. How is everyone??? Jairia I gotta say that stinks about having to wait!! That is great news about your doc taking the cerclage out at 36 wks, not to much longer for you and at least you will be at a better hospital to deliver too! Chatty how do you do it, that would drive me nuts having all that baby stuff sittting in sitorage just waiting, well at least you will be able to put it all together in a bigger place. Just think you will have stuff to do once evrything else is done. I am afraid i am going to run out of things to do by the time I go on leave. You can only clean one area so much. Well all have a great Monday, or as good as it can get... Happy St. Paddy's Day!!!!

oh i am so drinking green beer next year! lol

 

Jairia - March 17

Okay...am I wrong for rounding up??? I consider myself 32 weeks now even though it doesn't actually happen until Friday (4 days). It just helps me mentally to think only 4 more weeks until cerclage removal vs. 5 more weeks. I can do this week in this dump and then 3 more in the new hospital. So, hopefully the next few weeks will fly by. Come on April.....Come on April.... I honestly don't know if I'm going to make it until May.

Jaira - no, round up I say, if it makes the time go faster for you. Wv_red - I don't mind at all, now I don't have to spend 5 minutes scrolling down lol. Well 3 more days of work left for me and then I'll be joining the bedrest crew. My job is so frustrating. I've been using fmla when I need to go home early and stuff and my drs office has been pretty accomodating about writing me notes and stuff. Well this morning, i find out our leave of absence dept lost my last note & they want me to ask the dr for another. Where is that my fault? I already feel like I've been harra__sing the drs office because my job kept changing their mind on what information they needed and I had to keep going back and asking for more. Ugh! im just frustrated with them.

 

wv_red - March 17

lol Jairia round away!!! Its almost over wooohoo!! You have made it so far! yay! RMC at least your job is allowing you to use your family time for doc appointments and stuff, and I am sure the doc office understands, I am sure they get more then one unruley work place. I have been trying to figure all mine out and it looks like I will be working all the way up until I deliver. Totally bummed out about all this. I was looking forward to having some time before the baby came but my maternity leave will not kick in until June 18th. So i have been trying to save as much vaca and sick time as possible just so I can keep insurance paid while I am out. It upset me so much I cried most of the day after I found out. Oh well not much I can do about that. Why in the heck does this forum block out words, it leaves a blank where a work was. Kindof like ok now guess what word is next. Mean boogers! lol.

 

wv_red - March 17

hello ladies!! happy st patty's day! Jairia, I keep rounding up too, it does make it seem like it's going by a bit faster. Wv_red, i just spent three hours at a local pub with dh and friends all of them getting drunk, i had a token green juice shot with their real shots......i swear next year i'm going to be the loudest and rowdiest at the pub lol. i went to the spa this past saturday, adn what was supposed to be nice and relaxing turned out to be a nightmare. i usually feel lo a little during the day but even the night before there wasn't a lot of movement but i thought i would give it a day before i got paranoid. well at the spa i started feeling queasy, and clammy, and claustrophobic, especially after my facial, i felt faint. so i ditched my girlfriends, paid and called from my car that i left lol. it's funny now, but i go home and i was so feeling sick, and i couldn't even talk properly to dh, i just had to lie down, and i panicking that i couldn't feel the baby, so i past out, and dh kept his hand on my belly, i woke up an hour later and still didn't feel the baby, so he took me to the hospital, and of course by the time i got there i was feeling better, the nausea was gone, and i wasn't so faint feeling, but was so tired. and they were so nice they hooked me up to the monitor and wanted to get a 20 minute read, and sure enough the baby started kicking and moving, so we had a good relieving laugh and went home. the nurses were so darned nice, and admitted that they've done it once during their pg's too. so everything is fine, i'm thinking it's the iron pills that were making me sick, so i haven't taken them for a couple days and i feel ok, last week i was feeling a bit nauseaus......so we'll see if i can just get iron other ways.....that's my ordeal, but i'm ok now....i'm glad i can smile about it.

Hey guys! vw_red: I agree with you that person about the bedpal is annoying. Anyhow, Jaira, you must be so proud of yourself!!! I'm sincerely happy for you. SIMS: glad to hear from you. Sorry you had a scare during the w-e. Easy to laugh at now, but it's no fun when it happens. I was wondering: where do you guys feel your l/o movements? I'm asking because at the u/s 10 days ago, my lo was in the oblique (diagonal) position and I've been reading a bit about it. I think as of yesterday, she was still in that position and I read somewhere that when the baby is head down but oblique, you can try sleeping on the opposite side of where the head rests. I've been sleeping on the left side since the beginning, and sure enough, her head in on my left hip... I slept on my right side last night so we'll see. So I'm just wondering how different the movements may feel... Anyway, the position is one of the only thing I have to worry about right now, so of course I do worry about it. I feel so silly! I just can't control it!!!

Hey ladies! Well, I found out today csection date is April 23. I'll be 36 weeks. I'm a bit nervous it's so early and then I have to get the amniocentisis* on April 22. SO I'll be having a csection 4 days after my baby shower, which seems a little weird.

 

Sims1 - March 18

ooooo lucky you. i wish i could have an option and get a confirmed birth date lol. i looked up what the pain my vajayjay can be, and it's called a dysfunctional pelvis. so not only was my cervix potentially incompetent, now my pelvis is dysfunctional. gotta talk to ob about what this means, and what to do cuz i'm in a lot of pain when i walk. CgGirl, I feel my lo move way low, like in my b___t and cervix, last ultrasound baby was head up, but i have a feeling it turned because my belly dropped.....and that's when teh pain in my pelvic area got worse. but then again i'm speculating.

 

Disaya07 - March 18

I was a bit worried, I didn't know there a was a new post. Thank goodness, I though you all had your little ones early without me.

 

CgGirl - March 18

Sims: thanks for letting me know. But do we feel pokes and stuff on the sides? If so, how far? Or do you only feel it in the middle (i.e. in a vertical line from your belly b___ton)???

 

Disaya07 - March 18

LMAO at the bed pal straps. What on earth. It's on every post.

 

ChattyKathy - March 18

I have been feeling my little one being diagonal, too. He seems to have his feet permanently planted on my right side (again, always kicking on the right side! My poor ribs don't get a break!) And yes, they'll be ALL the way on the side where my arms hang. What I have noticed, though, is that he doesn't kick as much anymore. Maybe on a rare occasion, but for the most part, he just turns or slowly moves... not so much kicking. Has anyone else had an increased problem with feeling dizzy lately?

 

wv_red - March 18

My boo boo ladies... I so didnt even think to post on the old one there was a new one....pregnesia, its getting worse,lol. Cg yeah my lil girl has been diagonal for a while and then will switch to a new position but then go back. Her head is either near my right hip or the left. Last night i was seeing a foot literally on my side and when I sleep I try not to lay on the side her head is but sometimes I do. She is now head down for now which probably wont last long ...she defiantly favors the right side as you can actually see where she is cause I am so uneven in the belly. Chatty yeah I got really dizzy this morning, I thought it was weird but it went away after a few mins. Sims I am glad your okay, I am sure the docs expect at least one paranoid prego to come in a month, lol. I did it last month, hehe. Better safe then sorry right! Just glad it was a false alarm. What kind of Iron pills do they have you on?? They put me on this therapak. Its like another vitamin added to my reg prenatels and man it is not fun. They havent made me sick this week but last week I felt horrible.Wow RMC that is seriously right around the corner! Congrats! Looks like you and Jairia are going to be April mommies. Short bedrest for you!!! ~belly rubs~

 

CgGirl - March 18

Thanks guys for your input. I'm just a worry machine right now (and have been for a while). Did any of your Dr commented on your baby's position yet? Last appointment, I was 30.5 weeks, I asked my OB to check and she said no. She said that she could detect the position but that as soon as I got up, it could be different. I'll see her next week again (33.5) and ask again :-) I'm just worrying that I would need a C-section. It's silly I know, cause it doesn't really matter in the end. And I'm the one, posting on other boards, telling women that have babies in breech position not to worry, that my own sister in her 3rd pregnancy, her baby flipped around 37-38 weeks. But when it comes to me... I worry!!!! you guys are just great! Thanks for letting me express my worries ;-)
