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

[katerdid]

Another Elizabeth here, and I'm 22. Guess it was popular!

Back from the dr's today...gotta love friday the 13th. Was having weird tightening muscle contraction-y type cramps all day yesterday, all night, and all morning today. So went in to check it out. They have no clue what caused it but I got some Vicodin (which I won't take unless they get worse) and I'm on bed rest yet again. Bleh, this pregnancy thing is rough stuff!

Hospital/Birthing center birth for me cuz I tend to be a worry wart. I really would rather go natural and have no pain killers or iv's or anything and just let it go the way it's intended ya know? But considering my hubby was 11lbs when he was born and his niece came out 10 lbs and the mom is a 4ft11 stick, I'm thinking I might change my mind. I don't know if I can push something that big out without an epi. We'll see how it goes.

40% chance boy, 60% girl...hmm..time will tell in 3 weeks!

hope you ladies have a great weekend won't be on here i don't imagine as MY ROOMMATE is FINALLY moving out. LOL So I'm all about helping speed up his process so baby bump here can have a room

hey everyone, hope you're all having a good weekend. I'm at home today, we've been tidying up for flat viewings. we put it on the market in November and had an offer in Feb, and it was all going through great, we found a house to buy, we hoped to exchange this week, and then on Tuesday our buyer inexplicably pulled out. so we're really really upset and angry, worried that we'll probably lose the house we were hoping to move into next week. and panicking that we're going to be stuck in my 1-bed flat with 2 kids if we don't move by October! scary. we grew out of this place when Adam started walking, last summer, so we are so so ready to get something bigger with a garden. I just don't understand how someone can do that to other people, in other countries he'd face a financial penalty but in England, nada.

I might take a bump pic soon, it's finally starting to look bumpish and not just slack muscles + fat. nice pics, BabyDeacon.

hope you're feeling better, katerdid, and bed rest is helping. there's loads about pregnancy that's no fun. you mentioned the IV thing, for all that I was fine with, and appreciated, my epi last time, I HATED being on an IV, and I didn't really like being tied to the bed either. however, with my SPD being so horrid, it was lovely just not being able to feel it (though I suffered hugely in the first few days after giving birth, especially the first few hours once the epi wore off, man, it was absolute agony!) but the actual birth was great, hard work, but I appreciated being fully mentally present and calm.

Hey girls- Anyone have an opinion on eating hot dogs? Like ONCE in a while? I really really want one and of course we have some here for my daughter and her friend's picnic. I just want a hot dog!!!!

 

[Mary Jo]

I had a hot dog the other day when at Legoland. Just really fancied it, I usually have like one a year, if that. No idea if I shouldn't have... but it was good.

 

[nypage1981]

They say nitrates are bad? I guess.....but I just really want one and can't see one hot dog harming anything right?

 

[katerdid]

Mary Jo that's awful! I would be so upset. They need better laws in UK for that - unexceptionable! I hope it works out for you and you're not stuck!

I'm feeling loads better today. They all but stopped yesterday night and so I was able to go pain killer free, so I'm proud of myself. And this morning my bubs was kicking and wiggling, so that was very reassuring. I normally can't feel a lot of kicks, so I was all smiles.

I have a phobia of needles, which is why I don't want IV's or an epi. I'm afraid I'll be stressing out enough already and having an IV will make it too much to handle. And of course, the thought of a needle that big and long going in my spine just scares me! But who knows, I might change my mind in the moment. I know my mom had a fabulous experience with her epidural and keeps telling me I should get one.

Nypage - I have eaten my fair share of hotdogs so far lol. I think it's fine in moderation.

Thanks I wrote to you on your cramping thread about Braxton Hicks like 2 seconds ago Kater! Sure glad they've let up and you feel better though...mine did this too. I had them one night, couldnt sleep, and next day felt a very sore utuerus but have felt fine since and not felt them too many times. Like once or twice at bed time.

 

[needprayers]

Hey ladies! I had a dream last night that I felt her little hand or foot pushing up.. where I could feel it!! And I felt it and she moved!! I woke up so sad that it wasn't real.. lol does this type of thing really happened!? I can feel her wiggle these days I just can't wait for that kick!!!

 

[x-TyMa-x]

Well ladies I'm officially worn out.... I spent the whole morning shopping and then came home and gutted the mess that was my bedroom , spent about 6 hours rearranging and tidying the whole thing... Now it's spotless but im knackered!! I'n agony with back and legs so currently running a bubble bath.
