[x-TyMa-x]

Just read your journal & so glad they managed to stop the contractions xx

Ive posted in there x

Glad your ok

 

[Phantom710]

So glad things have calmed down for you. we were all wondering how you were doing. did see the little update on facebook that you had someone post, but it's good to see something from you.

yay for William staying where he should for now

 

[nypage1981]

Kate glad you are out and hang in there hun. I have heard of this happening, then the baby not wanting to come when due date comes around. Guess you are taking maternity early!

 

[nypage1981]

Phantom- (its michelle, right? )- I have had the same period pains and have wondered last few days about them. Also have pain in my cervix sometimes too that I am figuring to be the baby pushing? I hate those period pains- they seriously remind me of, well, period coming any moment. I am always just waiting for a gush! Must be our uteruses growing again.....

 

[x-TyMa-x]

Ive had the period pains too thats exactly what they feel like ... I got told by my MW theyre a form of Braxton hicks ...... or your uterus & muscles stretching as baby gets bigger .... but who knows .... all i know is they are uncomfortable!!

 

[nypage1981]

I also have had HORRID braxton hicks. They are hard to breathe through and make my heart race. UGH, had them for a while now and hate them.

 

[x-TyMa-x]

Did u get them with your 1st nicole? .... I never got any with Tyler but ive had a few this time around x

 

[Phantom710]

ny-- yes it's Michelle I know exactly what you mean, I keep expecting to have to run to the bathroom to wipe up blood.

Glad to know I'm not the only one. 90% of the time I got my period cramps in my back and that's where these are. I hope that doesn't mean I'll have back labor. I hear that's more painful.

With all the weird aches and pains that come with these last months I'm afraid I won't know which are the pains when it comes time. I'm counting on all of you 2nd time moms to tell me what is what when we get there. LOL

 

[x-TyMa-x]

You will .... You really will xx The 1st few contractions can be mistaken with BH & period style cramping but once they get going .. you will know xx
My labour was a back to back and it was very painful ... hope shes the right way round! & All your babies too

 

[nypage1981]

No kerri I specially since they started never had braxton with my first pregnancy so this is weird for me. Specially since they started so early!
Hope I don't have to experience any of the real deal since I need a c section.

 

[x-TyMa-x]

I didnt have them either its strange isnt it .... im worried about needing a section, Not sure why........ i will have one if they feel it is necessary but the thought worries me

 

[Phantom710]

My 32 week appointment is next monday. I plan on asking what their "Wow the baby is getting to big for you to have" cut-off limit will be.

I am not a small person, but every time I have had an ultrasound or my tummy measured baby is anywhere from 1-3 weeks bigger than normal.

I know they tend to not let you have huge babies over here if they can help it as then there is more chance of breaking baby's shoulder/ripping mom apart/etc.

If they choose to not let me go over 9 lbs or so, I wonder if I might either be induced or c-sectioned at 37 weeks?

I am determined to have him no earlier than the 4th though (think i've mentioned that) so I can have the holidays off with him

 

[x-TyMa-x]

I worry all the time about having a big baby .... it scares me lol
Im gonna start drinking RLT around 34weeks as my midwife told me it was safe from 28weeks but best anytime after 32 so i figure 34 will do, then around 37 weeks i am going in full force to try all the "natural induction" methods........ even though i tried them all with Tyler and none worked .... i will have another go! x

 

[Phantom710]

I want to start natural induction at around 37 weeks, but I'm afraid it'll work LOL My mom is the only one who will be coming with me (hubby can't stand blood/hospitals) and she lives 16 hours away.

the ONLY reason I'd hope for a c-section/induction would be so I would KNOW what day baby is coming. then mom can be on her way and i can be walking/nipple tweaking/ball bouncing to my hearts content with no fear of being alone in delivery. LOL

 

[x-TyMa-x]

can she not come stay closer around your due date , i know what you mean though it would be horrible for her to miss it and u to do it alone xx

 

[ay2808]

Hi everyone. I've only just found this thread as I mostly stick to third tri. I hope everyone is doing well. I haven't had a chance to read all of the 100 or so pages yet so I'm a bit behind. I can't believe we're into single figure weeks now!

 

[x-TyMa-x]

^ YAY Welcome .... eeek ikno omg!! How exciting!

I will add you to the Bump colours Roll call on the 1st page now hun xx

 

[x-TyMa-x]

So we now have 3 bumps & 5 bumps!

 

[nypage1981]

Yea, being able to plan the day is the only thing good about this section.....Although, i've had a feeling it would come early also. Guess every pregnant lady has that feeling! Hahahah. Doesn't happen for most.

i am scared of huge baby too, or maybe more so, scared of a not huge baby when I feel huge. I at least want an excuse to be so large so I can stop hearing how big I look blah blah blah! I hate those comments! I eat carrots for snack, dammit! Dont look at me with my cookies......

Michelle- your OH isnt coming to the birth? Like, at all? I understand queasiness, but the missing of the birth seems a bit extensive to me! Hope your mom can make it at least then!

Get this for trying to plan. My sister is due next week. 23rd. Her DH is deployed but gets 2 weeks to come home...its their first baby. Well, now they think they are sending him home on the 19th instead of 23rd because of flight issues out of Kuwait. How aweful is that? 5 days BEFORE due date on a first child is not good, seems she will have the baby and he will be off the next day again and they wanted the most time he had with baby at least. I feel so bad for her I want to cry sometimes. i just couldn't imagine doing the newborn stuff without your person to share it with, you know? Breaks my heart. I hope I can be there enough for her, im just so busy with Ella going back to school soon and our house renovations and a new baby of my own, I hate to neglect her when she is so alone. Those army wives sure have it hard....

 

[Phantom710]

Well my step dad can only have at max 3 weeks off of work. so they could come earlier, but then if i go late they'll be gone. sort of a lose/lose situation
