Hey all, is there anybody in there.... just nod if you can hear me, is there anyone at home??? hehe Love some Led!! Anyways wanted to pop in.. we were getting bumped down a lil far...Question when is everyone starting their maternity leave????

sorry i am really an airhead today... thats floyd not led, any self respecting music lover knows that... geez. ok had to say that.... where is everyone *sniff, sniff* Jaira where you been??? Have we lost more people, it seems like there were more of us last thread.....

I'm still here! Not much has been happening lately. I finally got some new shirts to wear. They're tshirts I'm borrowing from a friend, but its nice to not have to tug at my clothes anymore! ahhh.... Yesterday I got my first "Is it twins?" comment! First this guy asked me how much longer I had and said "it must be any day now, right?" Um.... no. I told him I had two months to go and he made a face and then asked if there was more than one in there! Yeesh! Am I really that huge? I'm just chalking it up to him being older and male. But really... If they're saying this now, I can only imagine whats going to happen in the next several weeks!

Hi ladies .. its been a while since I last logged in but I have been reading all of your posts to keep up to date with what's going on with all of you. With me everything is going good. Besides the terrible back pain I'm in all day, I can't really complain. I'm 32wks1d as of today, only 7 weeks and 6 days more to go!! yay! can't hardly wait to meet Natalia Isabel. She's been moving a lot, you can go ahead and ask my ribs if you don't believe me. lol. I don't think I'm going to have a baby shower, since this is my second I don't really need a lot of stuff -- but we are going to have a welcome baby party like she deserves. My next appointment is on Monday, April 7th, they are going to weigh and measure her to see how she's progressed. Hopefully she's still in the right position. I will most likely work until the 23rd of May it all depends on how my next appointments go, and what my doc recommends. Well, belly rubs to all. I'm glad to read that everyone is doing okay and just waiting for the big day....

I'm still here. I read posts daily. Not much new here. Still in the hospital. I have a feeling though that I am going to be an April mommy instead of a May mommy. My st_tch comes out April 18th. We are going to treat the date as a surgery because it's a strong reality that she could come then. My doctor just left my room this morning. He told me that yesterday morning, a mom in my situation went in the office to have her st_tch removed. Immediately after removal, she was dilated to 3cm. So off she went to the OR for her c-section. He looked at me and said, "that's your story.," So while I've been telling myself she's not coming this soon (that's only 2 weeks and 1 day!!!!), reality has just set in. I'm scared out of my mind. What am I going to do? I'm so ready to get out of the hospital, but is it really time right now????????????????? I know that she'll literally be 1 week premature at that time, but she's had steroid shots and seems to be just fine. HELP ME PLEASE!!!

Jaira-I think you'll be just fine. I just had a dr's appt and even though I'm only 33 weeks my doc mentioned that if baby were to come now then it would be fine. She stated that normally they would like for them to be full term or around 37 weeks, but any baby born now will more than likely be healthy. The reality setting in is probably what's scaring you the most. I had my hospital tour on Tuesday night and we watched a birthing video and it was the 1st time that i can honestly say that I am nervous. Up until that point, I have been fine. But now I'm nervous. We'll make it though the babies have to come out. Has anyone had their cervix checked yet to see if they have dialated? My next appt on the 18th they will be checking me and I wanted to know what it involves.

Good morning ladies! I'm hitting the 35 week mark today. Still hard to believe. About 2 days ago, I was writing in my pregnancy book and there is a place where you can right about your feeling for each month, and as I was writing them for the 8th month, I started crying. OMG, I can't believe I'm going to have a baby in a month!!! Reneenay, I hope your l/o turns. As for mine, she changed position again cause she had the hicups yesterday and her head was definitely up my belly b___ton, cause it was so strong that I could see my stomach move everytime she had one! I'm just tired of worrying about the position of my baby! I just can't help it! I'll keep doing these exercises. Jaira: I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you. I'm sure everything will work out fine and no one can predict that your delivery will be the same as the one your doctor told you about... It must be exciting (and I understand if you feel anxious) to know that you will have your baby in a couple weeks!

Hi ladies! Ha, ha Red, that's my favorite Pink Floyd song...they are one of my favorite bands ever, along with Led too! Anyway, Jairia, I am sure everything will be fine. Are they going to do an amnio before that date to make sure the baby's lungs are mature? That would really be the only thing to be somewhat concerned about, and I think it will be just fine. I watched a "bringing home baby" yesterday where the baby came an entire month early and he was totally fine! He already weighed 7 lbs and was totally mature. So, hang in there! You'll be holding your little girl soon and then all this worry and frustration will be worth it. As for me, I'm really concerned that this little guy is not going to move. He seems really jammed in there, and he's been this way for 3 weeks. He's just getting bigger too. And he is beating my cervix to a pulp! CgGirl, I am sick of worrying about it too, but I just can't help it. I am totally preoccupied by it. I keep examining my belly and thinking, "did he move? No." It's so frustrating because I have done all of this prep work for a v____al delivery and I really want the chance to bring my little guy into the world in the most natural way possible. I don't want to be cut open and have him yanked out of me and then be in horrible pain from the surgery, trying to take care of him! I don't want to stay in a hospital for 3 to 5 days either! Ugh. Turn baby, turn!

Disaya, I haven't been checked yet but I heard it's just like getting a PAP.

Hi all. I just wanted to let you guys know that I had my little girl THIS MORNING (4/4) at 2:25am. She was delivered at exactly 34 weeks and weighed 4lbs 14oz and was 17 3/4 in. long. My water broke (more like erupted) at 1:30 am. I went from 0cm to 5cm in about 15 minutes. When I was wheeled to L&D, I was 7cm all within a total of 30 minutes time. Mind you, my kiddo was breech and they could feel her feet. I had an emergency c-section (which anesthesia hurt like H*&%), and poor DH was told to put on scrubs only to not be present in the room during the section due to things going so quickly. Trinity Valyn is truly a fighter. She's in the NICU. She was placed on a c-pap which gave her oxygen through her nose via a tube, but she's currently completely off the oxygen. She's been breathing on her own since delivery. I'm having a time pumping, but I'm going to hang in there. Tomorrow, I will get to hold her skin-to-skin and I can't wait. I'm exhausted right now and will post more later...

Wow, Jairia, I said you would be holding your baby soon but I didn't think it would be this soon! Congratulations! It sounds like she is going to pull through and be just fine! It sounds like it was traumatic, but it's over now and as soon as you get the hospital's seal of approval, you'll be able to take her home and start your life together. Congrats again, and hang in there. We'll all be thinking about you and little Trinity Valyn!

Congrats to the first mommy in our group, JAIRIA! You poor thing, just as you write about how nervous you are to have her in two weeks, she decides to make an early appearance! You're going to have quite the stubborn one on your hands, as if that isn't obvious by how strong spirited she is already! Breathing on her own already is GREAT, and its good news that you'll be able to hold her already! A friend of mine had a premie and had to wait a couple of days before she could hold him, and Im pretty sure she was farther along than you were. Your little girl is definitely making progress, and you seem so calm about everything now! Congratulations again!!!

Jaria that's awesome! Kinda I guess. Congratulations! Sounds like she's doing great! Stinks your hubby didn't get to be in there with you but I'm sure he's fine. It did go really fast though....I hope all you ladies get to dialate that fast! Good luck and I'll say some prayers.

Jairia CONGRATS TO YOU!!!! That is awesome, wow and to be doing so well, you and your daughter are both fighters. Welcome Trinity Valyn!! Make sure you let us know the site we can see the pics of your new beautiful baby girl!!! Congratulations!

Jaira: I am so glad that your little girl is fine! I hope you are able to get some rest while you are at the hospital! It's a good thing you were there in the first place, just hearing how fast things went! Please keep in touch with us and congratulations to you and your husband! And I love her name by the way!!!

So, ladies. One month to go and then its our month! Can you believe it? How is everyone doing? BF and I are starting to get nervous at the arrival of our little one. It feels so surreal that this pregnancy is almost over, and I think it will seem even closer after we have our childbirth cla__s on saturday. Its an all day thing at the hospital. I really wanted to try some of those newer methods like Bradley or Hypnobirthing and such, but theres not really anything in this area. Every time I get a stomach ache (I think its part of BH contractions. I seem to get one every morning when I wake up. Weird!) I think "oh god. I can't do this" but I swear, when I had to go to the ER because of my uterus "quivering" it was totally different. It felt the same, but I handled it completely differently. So, I'm hoping thats a good sign that things wont be quite as horrible as i'm imagining. Okay... enough babbling now!
