19th October Ladies ... **5 Births Already**

[Mary Jo]

arrrghgghhghgh... think I'm going to have to change my diet in the morning. I usually have cereal & milk, but - just like last time - I've started having palpitations and feeling really weak and like I just have to lie down, about 45 mins-1 hour after. and I just can't when I have Adam to stay awake for (though I did yesterday because he and I are up at my parents' for a few days while my husband does some stuff to the new house, so they watched Adam for me). grrrr. I noticed it starting up, mildly, a few weeks ago, but it's gone up a couple of notches now. I asked doc last time and he said it was a blood sugar thing, and just temporary. gah. guess I'm going to have to have eggs or yogurt or something.

I have GD and since I fast all night I am not supposed to have carb in the am either. Spikes the blood sugar.

I've cracked.

Today I had a dream I had the baby at 30 weeks. O.O

On the side note, he was perfectly healthy and weighed like a normal newborn.

Oddly though, I woke up feeling like I needed to pack my hospital bag. Cause in the dream I kept saying "we need *object* but I don't have it" LOL

Funny part: When it came time to pump... I held the iphone that I don't have up to my chest, and was like "I have an app for that."

^ Lol michelle!! How random

Well ive updated my journal but for those who dont follow heres a little update on me today at my MW check today

Urghh im pretty sure morning sickness is only meant to be in the 1st tri but i felt soo sick this morning as i was getting out the shower, i started to feel that nausea creeping up on me! .... I managed to grab my towel and was crouched over the loo soaking wet in just my towel for 5mins heaving but luckily nothing came up!! .... Strange felt just like MS

My appointment with the midwife went ok apart from yukky blood tests They make me feel really faint, I got my Anti D injection and MY GOD it hurt!! Not sure i can remember it being that sore last time but OUCHIES!!!

Baby is Head Down
She Measured me for the 1st time ...... but shes only measuring at 27 instead of 29 ... the midwife said she wasnt worried at all but tbh i am a little concerned .... she estimated that if baby stays on this growth track then at birth if i was to go on my due date she would be an estimated 7lbs 2-4oz

She listened to the heartbeat & i managed to record it on my phone so i will upload that x

Everything else was ok, She thinks i may STILL have a UTI & has sent my wee off to the lab and if i need MORE antibiotics they will contact me.
Also i have low BP but i knew that anyway.

Heres her Heartbeat x

Aw, Kerri that's no good But at least baby is head down Hopefully she'll stay that way lol.

Michelle, that's too funny! I had a dream that I was at my starbucks, but I wasn't working and went in the bathroom and I was leaking like crazy! I was in there for a long time holding toilet paper to my boobs but it still got everywhere. Then I woke up and had leakage crusties all over the bedsheets and myself. Ugh.

If you're looking for a new breakfast idea, I just stumbled upon one myself. Chia seeds! Super weird, but no carbs and full of fiber, protein, antioxidants and omega 3's. You mix the seeds with milk, some sugar or honey and spices (or chocolate lol) and let it sit in the fridge for a few and it turns into sort of tapioca pudding constancy. Fills you up like oatmeal. I can get them at my local bulk food store although plenty of places to get online.

Double Post!!!

Just for fun

Labor Prediction Quiz

Here was my results, what were yours?

I know you were hoping we weren't going to say this, but don't expect this baby to come early. Your baby is nice and comfy tucked away in your womb and has no interest in joining the rest of the world. We predict your baby will be born after its due date. Your baby will most likely be born in the morning. Justmommies predicts that your baby will weigh approximately 8.5 pounds and that your labor will be about 11 hours long.

This is for entertainment purposes only.

Love the bump

 

[nypage1981]

Odd dream! Those dreams are always so random. I get them once in a while too.

Cute bump pic
and Kerri- love the heart beat video. Glad she is head down, but really wouldnt worry about the 2 cm. Coulda been position, your level of fluid that particular moment. Based on those measurements, babies have been like 2 lbs off from their prediction so it seems kinda pointless to me. With my daughter they thought like a 5 lb baby and sent me for a few ultrasounds and still thought that- and she was 7'11. So it was crap.

Kate- funny you mention chia seeds as we just discussed them at work today that they're in a lot of protein bars ad stuff and can cause serious diahreaa!! Its part of the new gestational diabetes, im trying to find things to eat and was warned about those! I had major major major sickness yesterday either due to pizza or atkins protein bars that I love! May have had chia seeds in it? Idk.

 

[Phantom710]

Kerri- great heartbeat video btw, forgot to say that last time. Also-- just want to rub it in that my labor is an hour less than yous :O hahahah. My findal height is always off, sometimes right on, and then a week later it can be 2 weeks ahead. But everyone tells me 2 weeks behind or ahead is considered normal

 

[katerdid]

Nicole: Chia seeds have a lot of fiber, so for some people that means they might get some funked up bowels. But from what research I've done, it doesn't effect most people that way. I haven't had any issues myself. I mean, it's helped a bit with my preggo constipation but not to such an extent that it's a problem iykwim. My last MS was triggered after eating turkey sandwich, so I'm pretty sure that MS will rear it's ugly head whenever it wants regardless. Stupid MS...can't wait for that to be over!

Lol, I tried that quiz and answered UNSURE to most of the questions...so prolly not accurate at all:

Get your bags packed early just in case you need them. Make sure your partner has a phone available when he's away because this baby just might come early. We predict your baby will come 2-3 weeks early. Your baby will most likely be born in the morning. Justmommies predicts that your baby will weigh approximately 8.8 pounds and that your labor will be about 12 hours long.

 

[nypage1981]

Woo hoo. you only have 8 weeks left! hahahaha. Got any pics of nurseries or baby items anyone? Im in a mood to see some baby stuff!

 

[Phantom710]

no fair!!!! i protest!!! hehe

 

[x-TyMa-x]

Lol seems me and Michelle may be here for done time lol!!! I hope it's not right lol..... Boooo to going overdue & a 12hr labour!!!!

Your baby is nice and comfy tucked away in your womb and has no interest in joining the rest of the world. We predict your baby will be born after its due date. Your baby will most likely be born in the middle of the night. Justmommies predicts that your baby will weigh approximately 7.8 pounds and that your labor will be about 7 hours long.

Hmmm..... the 7 hours labour would be good as im expected to be shorter than my last one which was only 4 hours and really intense so id like it to be longer than 2 hours!!
I agree with the nighttime delivery - my other 3 were all at night
As far as im concerned im due in oct - so as long as i dont go into nov i wont class myself as overdue lol

 

[x-TyMa-x]

Hey all

Hope everyone is good today cant believe were nearly 30weeks!!

 

[Phantom710]

Just got back from my 30 Week Appointment.

Baby's heartbeat was 146 and my blood pressure was fine. Stomach is measuring 3 weeks big, but I've managed to lose 1 lb in the last three weeks.

Doctor wasn't worried as since my belly is growing obviously baby is getting what he needs.

asked about kick counts, although i know it's still early-ish and he told me that if you are getting 10 in a two hour period per day you are fine. Which is not to say that every two hours in a day you should get 10 kicks, but that in a specific two hour time period (usually after you've eaten is best) you should get 10 kicks.

I am on appointments for every two weeks now. Can't believe that I'm already to that stage.

Cody is well above that so not even going to bother counting.

 

[nypage1981]

I am at the doctors having my 3 hour glucose test and barely hanging on.....it's really horrible!

 

[x-TyMa-x]

Michelle - glad the appointment was ok , ive got my 30week one on friday.

Nicole - urgh no fun, fingers crossed all comes back ok though xx

 

[nypage1981]

OMG that sucked! Total, I ended up not eating for 16 hours. That is just not right! I was like crawling up my front steps to get into the house. Ok, its over with!
