Pregnancy Info HOME

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 ;-)

CG, I worry about that too, sometimes. But right now its okay that our babies not be in the "right" position just yet. Gavin mostly stays with his head near my left hip and feet by my right set of ribs, but I do know that sometimes he flips (albeit not as often anymore). Our babies may be STARTING to get in position, but its okay if there are a few late bloomers. Even 36, 37 weekers have babies that completely change positions and some that change even later than that! - Now that there isn't as much room in there, I feel like I'm squishing him! Sometimes I'll feel pressure on my pelvis and I get this image that the way I'm sitting is squishing his little head, so I try to move to give him more room... or I imagine that sitting a certain way makes him cramped up (which would be very irritating for me!) so If I feel a little foot wedged by my ribs, I try to make it so he doesn't seem so cramped. I guess its silly, and I KNOW his space is only going to get smaller, but I still feel bad. lol

Hey CGgirl, I feel like the babys fingers are poking around like where my legs meet my belly on the sides...really wired feeling for fingers or hands....but otherwise i wouldn't worry about the position my dr said the same thing that there's plenty of timefor the baby to get in position. Hey Wv_red, i think my iron is ferrous gluclodojsidofismate. something like that. and they make me ill, since i stopped taking them i don't feel as clammy and shaky....i think i'll start taking just one a day instead of the two he perscribed, but i'm too afraid. i don't want to feel that ill again, and i seriously think its the iron pills. other than that, i'm tired and my vajayjay hurts like hell, which i'll talk to my ob about next week. does anyone else have this pain?? am i alone in this misery??? it totally sucks...i'm so looking forward to having this baby soon. i think in four weeks all bets are off, i've been storing all these recipes for labor lol. one them have to work.

Hey! I totally didn't know there was a new thread! I thought things were getting pretty slow! Lol! Anyway, my little boy is diagonal as well, and it's been that way forever. His head has been on my right. Sims1, I feel his hands poking around my hips too...sometimes it almost tickles! Anyway, I am 31 and a half weeks now and sure am feeling it. My back officiall hurts bad! I feel like I'm an old lady when I get out of bed in the morning. I'm going to need a trip to the chiropractor or get some ma__sages or something! Has anyone had a prenatal ma__sage? I was thinking about getting one...but then my friend that had a baby about 3 weeks ago said she had one the day before she went into labor...and she was 3 weeks early. Now I am scared to get one! I had my last shower on Sunday and it was really fun. I got tons of really greats gifts and some cute outfits. As far as the nursery goes, I've got the clothes washed and put away. Yesterday I put contact paper in the bottom of the changing table drawers. Boy was that tons of fun, and great for my back :( So no we really only have to a__semble all of the other equipment, like the strollers, etc, etc, and hang everything on the walls. Belly rubs ladies, it's getting very exciting now!

The last u/s I had at 27 weeks indicated baby as already head down - but for me that doesnt matter since I'm getting the csection. Right now I have the cold that won't end, so not only am I not sleeping because I can't get comfortable, but I also cough all night and have been sleeping on the sofa so I don't keep dh up all night. And then, my one year old, who still doesn't sleep thru the night, has been waking up for 2-3 hours every night, so last night we were up til about 2, and I get up at 630. Needless to say, I'm sleepy, sick, and cranky, as well as having normal prego aches and pains. So a little part of me is kind of looking forward to bedrest and being able to sleep for longer than 2 hours at a time lol. wv_red - dh swears I'm the only one that has a bad memory now. I forget everything! lol ... i'm like, it's not just me, i swear! reneenay - I've pretty much got the whole nursery set, except I haven't washed the bedding and put it in the crib yet, I was kind of holding off until the last minute to do that so I don't get any floating dog hair on it or anything. I still have to get a double stroller too, and then that's about it. sims1 - my vajayjay doesn't hurt, but I have been getting the worst shooting pains in my bladder (i think it's my bladder) and sometimes have such a hard time walking with them! Dr says it's the baby's head pushing down and it will only get worse, not better, so that's comforting, right? Lol

RMC, that's exactly why I'm not washing the bedding and putting it on until the last minute too! That darn dog again! Lol.

Thanks so much guys; you are making me feel better! It's so great to have this forum!

Forgive my so-many posts! Last night I dreamt for the first time of seeing the face of my baby girl!!! I had dreams about it before, but I could never see her face for some reason. Last night, I saw the whole of her!!! And conveniently, I couldn't remember going in to labor. It's like, I was waking up and had had the baby! Talk about selection! LOL!

hey rmc, i get a wierd heavy feeling like where it's so wierd to walk if my bladder is full, but it goes away once i've emptied. but the vajayjay pain, i think i know what it is, and i have to talk to my ob about it, although i highly doubt he'll recommend anything or do anything about it except for say that it's normal and to tough it out. but i want to tell him anyways....cg-girl, that's so sweet the only time i had a dream about lo was the first dream i ever had, where it was a boy and looked exactly like dh when he was one. and he was crying, but then when he looked at me he started smiling adn i felt so close to him. but i still don't know if its a boy or girl, plus dreams after that have been about girls and just wierd lol.

Hi, ladies. Today is the one year anniversary of the loss of my 2nd pregnancy, a baby girl. I'm sure I've seemed a little crazy today anyway, but then I decided (for some reason) that today would be a good day to see if I have an outfit to wear to easter dinner. Argh! Of course I don't! I'm pet_te and carrying ALL out infront... not to mention that I've had a bit of a growth spurt recently, and now even maternity tops aren't fitting me! I'm getting really frustrated. I took my weekly belly picture today and I just look huge. Its hard to sleep, hard to breathe, hard to do anything for more than five minutes before I'm so tired I feel like laying down. Now I can't even look nice because nothing fits me? How am I supposed to go for two more months if nothing is fitting me now? I thought that wouldn't happen until the last few weeks! And I looked on baby-gaga to see what should be happening this week and they say "you should be gaining a lb a week now" well... no. I've been gaining about 2 lbs a week recently AND on this site they have pictures of women who are the same # of weeks and they all look smaller than me! wtf! Sorry for the rant but I'm just very frustrated and it doesn't help that it was spring break at the university last week and this week I go back to cla__ses and hear people say "wow you've POPPED since I've last seen you!" Well yes... yes I have. and if it doesn't stop I'm going to be naked by the end of this pregnancy!

chatty - I deal with people asking me if I'm having twins all day lol and telling me, wow you're so much bigger than last time. Ok, keep in mind I usually weigh 100 pounds soaking wet, and I'm still only about 130 now, with all of my weight in my bbs and my stomach. But it does suck to hear, oh you're so huge! all the time. sims - I describe my pain as that sharpness you get when you have held your pee too long, that's what it feels like to me, only it's ALL THE TIME. It's getting pretty bad to the point I don't want to even walk from the bathroom to my bed! wv_red- I get pretty bad pain in my legs at night time too, but more like a numbness ... usually the only place I can sleep comfortably is the darn sofa!

I've also heard to try rocking back and forth when you pee. Sometimes baby can block your urethra and you may not be getting it all out like you think you are. Sometimes this can help relieve that got-to-go feeling (and prevent UTI's!) but mostly its just going to be baby. I haven't gotten much of that type of pain yet, although Gavin punched me in the cervix yesterday, ouch. I'm pretty much ready for him to drop, though. I think I can deal with the aches and pains if it means I get to breathe again!

Hi Everyone!!! Chatty i'm so sorry to hear about the anny. I can relate it's always an anxious day and takes a while to pinpoint why.........Yikes RMC, I don't know which is worse, sharp pains in the bladder or Dull pains in the hooha. I can barely walk myself, i just can't believe how hard its getting. I hope my ob tells me there's something that can be done.

Cggirl that's a cool dream, i had a bizarre dream last night as well. i dreamt i was looking at my belly and little baby fingers were coming out of my belly b___ton and i'm freaking out because i'm like that's not normal so i'm pushing the fingers back in (OMG they werw so cute though), because i kept thinking it's too soon for baby to come out now. But when i peaking into my belly b___ton -wierd i know, the skin was like papery, and inside i could see the baby and it looked normal so i thought ok maybe it is ready. so i took out the baby and i saw boy parts, but when i wrapped up the baby it was all in pink, and i had all this anxiety that i couldnt get the baby in the blanket properly and it's legs and arms were hanging out.....and when i touched them they were always so cold...so i was get_tng worked up in a frenzy tryingto cover the baby up. that's the second time i had a cold kind of dream with a baby.......but either way, it was just so vivid and it felt so real like i could smell the baby.....it made me happy though.

chatty - never thought about rocking, I mite have to try that because that is the exact feeling that I am getting. It is so painful, I swear, but I'm trying not to complain since I have one day of work left. sims1- yeah, hopefully your dr can suggest something since mine pretty much said deal with it lol.

Sims: What a dream! I think we are all realizing that this is going to really happen soon (at least I am!). For the ladies that are in pain: I sympathize. Some days are worse than others for me, so I try to be really positive and grateful for the days that I feel better. Not always easy...
