Pregnancy Info HOME

Yeah her rolling does feel strange. I still get that sudden kick every blue moon. I have not even gained that much weight so far. I have only gained a total of lbs so far. I was wondering if it was something that I was doing, but I dont do anything but sit in the house and cook for hubby and son all day. I go back in on the 24th. Any of you have little ones that are starting school this month? My son is and I am so scared. I mean he has been home with me and all of a sudden he will be gone most of the day.

I wish I hadn't gained this much already, but I honestly never ate poorly, I think everyones just different So I just noticed there is another girl w/ the name Samara on here. I saw a thread posted & my name next to it, but its not from me, very odd

ops im sorry i didnt know that i did not put a number in when i said that I only gained so much. What i meant to say was that I had only gained a total of 6lbs so far. I think that I should have gained more because I eat everything. I mean what I want is what I get. Its bad yeah I know.

So it is 4 in the morning where I am and I am bright eyed and bushy tailed! So I am up watching What Not To Wear, had some toast with Peanut B___ter and some water. I am happy I slept for close to 5 hours straight and at least I should be able to sneak a nap in tomorrow after church. How is everyone doing? It has been pretty quiet for a while now. I am working my last week this coming week. I am excited and sad. Even though I have only been here for 3 months I really love the people I work with. I guess that is a good thing. I was hoping to work longer but I am getting so swollen and tired I just can't. My poor house is taking the hit same as my hubby. Well I can't believe I am going to be 35 weeks this week. EEKK! Time is running out. Our crib is set up and found a rocking chair. I am getting there. Not as fast as I hoped, but it is coming along. It is funny how I have been telling Jacob we need to get things finished around here. As his job is going to get busy this week and until next summer. Now he is kicking himself. When will he learn I am right? But I love him any ways. Well hope all is well!

Well, my dr put me on bedrest this past week until Sept 1st (which will be 35 wks). I had on and off contractions for 6 days straight and it apparently was enough to dialate me a little too much for being 33 wks, so it's bedrest for me but not for very long so it's not really a big deal. What is a big deal is the thought that this baby may come early! My shower isn't scheduled until Sept 19th (the unfortunate part about moving to a new place and not knowing people well enough to feel like you can have an input about the date) so now I'm scrambling to try and get the things we would need should he decide to come early. On one hand, I'm so excited for him to come and to see what he looks like, but on the other hand, I don't even feel ready for him! Not to mention all of his newborn clothes are basically winter clothes and it's still pretty hot here now! Oh well...guess we'll just take it a day at a time. Hope the rest of you are doing well!

sbea- I hear what you are saying about being 35 weeks already! I too will be this week!! It feels like time is flying...but in a way it is a good thing. I can't wait to meet this little person growing inside of me, I just don't like the thought of giving birth...it's frightening! We too have a lot to do still before his arrival. But I have to remind myself, not everything will get done before he comes, and that is okay. It isn't like I will never be able to do anything ever again. I had my baby shower this last Saturday. It was fun and I got a lot of stuff, but there is still a lot that we NEED! I registered at Babies R Us and Walmart, and only 4 people got things from Babies R Us and no one from Walmart. It left my feeling a little sad because I spent so much time picking things out and now we still need to get a bunch of stuff and we have to pay for it LOL! I just realized I am sounding selfish, but isn't that that a baby shower is for? To give the pregnant lady things she will need for the baby, not just clothes? I don't know...I am still VERY happy with what I got though! Now I just have to find a place for it all and do some of his laundry, again! melay- Bed rest sounds like no fun to me, but seeing as how it is only 2 weeks of it, it sounds like you will do just fine. I am sorry that this is happening to you! I sure do hope that you little guy decides to stay put at least until after your shower. September 19th is my Grandfathers birthday, he pa__sed almost 4 years ago now. If my little guy comes on that day I would be so happy, and it would only be 2 weeks early, so he would be just fine! In fact, at our last ultrasound they estimated his weight at 5lbs. 11oz., and that was 2 weeks ago!!! Which means he should have gained another 2 lbs since then. That would make him HUGE at birth, so coming early might not be such a bad idea on his part LOL! I hope everything is well with everyone else. It is true, it has been quiet here for a while.

Dice- Two weeks from now I will have the green light to go into labour! Craziness. I also start Prenatal cla__ses this week. However, my hubby goofed (not surprising) but the cla__ses aren't all in one week, they are once every week and end Sept 16th. I knew I should have made him plan his vacation for another day. However, I feel like if I don't I am smothering him and not giving him his "space". Well I have slept pretty good the last couple of days and now I am have some energy to get some cleaning around the house. Melay, I hope you don't go crazy on bed rest. I was on it for two days after the Anmio and I wanted to shot my brains out. Praying for you. Hey Les,,. How are you and your little guy doing? We haven't heard from you in a while. Well I have another Doctor appointment this week; thursday actually. can't wait!

Hey sbea, thanks for thinking of me. Sorry ladies I haven't updated in a while. I hate being the downer on the board. Baby and I are doing well though. I am so happy to have made it this far, and am grateful for every day. I had my last doctor's appt this past Friday, and I am 1.5 cm dilated. I go back again this Thursday. I'm hoping there is no change. But I have been having these sharp stabbing pains (sorry if TMI) in my v____a, like it feels like my cervix is being stabbed with an ice pick or something. It will just come out of the blue, hurt for a second or two, then go away. Anyone else have this? Melay ~ I can definitely sympathize with the bedrest. This Thursday will be 5 weeks of bedrest for me. It's tough, but just stick with it as much as you can. Two weeks will actually go by pretty quickly, and it's nice that you'll get some rest before the baby comes and you're completely sleep deprived. Are you guys learning a lot from the prenatal cla__ses? I'm a little bummed that I can't do any cla__ses, but I'm hoping I'll have good nurses that can help me get through labor & delivery. It's so crazy that you guys are due so soon. I'm not due until the end of October. Good luck to everyone and keep us updated on your progress!!

Hey Les, YES! I also have the stabbing pains. I asked the doc about them, and she honestly said to me, "yep, that's normal; we don't know why they happen, and we call them 'shooting pains in the v____a.'" I just thought that was the funniest thing I've heard this entire pregnancy. Apparently, I've been contracting and didn't even know it, but my cervix looks OK. I was in the hospital from Monday-Friday with pneumonia (I was actually relieved, since I originally thought it was the flu; I'd rather have something non-contagious), and they monitored me and the baby during my stay. Sometimes, little J's heart rate would drop while I was contracting, which is really scary, since all the nurses would come rushing in. All seems OK, though, so they sent me home. I have a fu perinatal appointment this week and will get yet another ultrasound just to make sure everything looks OK with his cord.

Hi ladies...... its good to hear that everyone and their little one is doing well. Let me do a quick update... I am 31 weeks today and I feel good. I had a docs apt yesterday and he listened to her and measured her. She is growing, but I have only gained 1 POUND since the last 2 week apt. Which puts me at a total of 7 pounds gained so far in this pregancy. I had asked if that was ok, he said it is fine as long as she continue to grow. I still dont know why I am not gaining as much. but oh well just less to loose after she gets here. I scheduled my c section date for October 19th, I forgot to give him a time. So I hope when I go back in on the 8th that we get an early time. I had been having the v____al pain also and he said it is Noelle pressing down. Wow it hurts to even walk sometimes. My son started kindergarten yesterday. It was a hard day for me. I am so use to him being here with me all day. He did not even have a problem with it. I mean Me, hubby, and my mom took him to school, went in with him, took some pics of him and his teacher, gave her is supplies and he was like ok bye mommy, love you. OMG I wanted to cry so bad. SO I said my little bye gave him hugs and kisses and left. I stood in the hall for a bit hiding behind the door just to watch him. The little girl that was sitting across from him was crying from the time we got there to the time we left. But he did not cry not once nor did he turn around to see if we were still there. He got up from his table and went to his locker to put his lunch in it, but that was it. I wanted to cry so bad, he is a big boy now I realize that. I wanted to go and have lunch with him, but the teacher said it would be a good idea just to peek in every now and then. And to let him interact with other kids his age since he is an only child and dont do it at home. Ohh well I guess, as long as I can come by and peek in on him I guess I will be fine.

Good Morning everyone! I say good Morning because it is 4:30 in the morning...And I am up. So I have a cold gla__s of water since I am over heating. Being surrounded by pillows doesn't work to keep one cool. So I went to the Doctor's office and well we didn't do the Strep B swob . Though we are going to do it this week on Friday and I will have an internal exam. As the baby is pretty low. So I need to be checked if I am dilated or if even the Cervix is starting to thin. He also wants to see how low the baby is. Oh and I start going every week. I can't believe I am going to be 36 weeks on Tuesday. OMG! So the Doctor was asking my hubby and I if we had the nursery set up and our bags packed... I had to say no and he couldn't believe it! So I found out that my mom is planning on going to be here one week before the baby is due... I have to admit I was hoping she would be here sooner rather than later. I don't think I can get what I wanted to do done in a week. I wanted to just relax with her. However, I am not going to say anything because I just want to be grateful for the fact she will be here. Though I have a nagging feeling that she will miss the main event. Oh well. At least I will have my hubby here. I am starting to get tired...but more importantly I am hungry. But I don't know what I would want to eat right now. Well I hope everyone is doing alright. Have a great day.

Good morning girls. So I had a Dr. appointment this morning. Everything was good, weights good, baby's good and blood pressure was fantastic at 108/70. I'm getting so excited, I can't believe I'm 32 weeks already!

oh and I forgot to add my b___st have started leaking colostrum. Anyone else having this yet? I thought it was a little early but guess its normal

Samara, I wish I was just starting now. I have been wearing nursing pads for so long now it has become second nature. I think I was about 25 weeks when I started to leak. I noticed it because I leaked through my padded bra and shirt in PUBLIC! I was so embarra__sed. There are days where I feel heavy. I know that won't be heavy until the real milk comes in. So in short, it is perfectly normal. Everyone of us has it now, some (ie you and I) leak it first others don't.

o lord, I'm not leaking like that yet, not enough to wear a pad. Just saw it happening the other day. Glad to know its normal, thank you!

WOW leaking already..... Im 32 weeks and I have not started leaking yet, I wonder if that is something that I should worry about. I did have another question......... some times I feel this little one moving alot then there are times when she does not move hardly at all. I mean I might feel her a few times a day. I know that you should feel the baby at least 10 times a hour but some times I dont. Has anyone else had this problem with their little one?
