How's it going Lucy? Hope Ivan had picked up his movement a bit. Thinking of you both x

 

[Lucy529]

I ate another brownie and he moved for a bit then went quiet today I had to go to the ob department for my 2nd steroid shot and I asked the nurse who called my dr and I was put on the monitor all seemed fine he was moving lots but I couldn't feel most of it but the harder kicks

I was told to call back if I got worried again I have an apt on Tuesday I'll ask the dr what I should do I don't want to keep calling if he's ok but I guess we'll see

 

[Young414]

Lucy- you definitely shouldn't worry about calling and talking to your doctor. I am glad to hear that Ivan is doing well. You need to go if you feel something is wrong. Follow your instincts.

Afm- Violets room got painted and I LOVE it. I'll try to post some pictures. The furniture isn't in there yet, but I'll post anyways when I can get to an actual desktop on Monday.

I called my insurance about going to labor and delivery and what that would run me out of pocket every time I went. And thankfully, it doesn't cost me a thing. I think if she stops moving or I get really nervous about her well being, I'll be going right up there!! Those nurses may know me we'll before Violet actually gets here. It's just a lot easier to go knowing that it isn't going to cost is an arm and a leg.

 

[Lucy529]

Young good it doesn't cost you i on the other hand am looking into getting insurance bc i have none so its going to cost me a bit

 

[Young414]

Oh Lucy- that's awful. I am very blessed to have the insurance that I do.

 

[Lucy529]

I'm just glad I can apply for financial assistance if possible I'm calling this place tom to see about getting insurance since I'm no longer working and my hubby is only working some times we qualify and they can't deny you for pre exciting conditions which pregnancy was one of things

 

[Young414]

Happy 29 weeks Lucy!

 

[Lucy529]

Thanks Young

We're getting closer

Hi ladies how's everyone doing?
Hope you're not too bored on bed rest Lucy and baby Ivan has been giving you plenty of kicks
I've been for a hospital check today and everything seems to be fine at the moment. Baby boy doing his best to move away from the monitor all the time. I'm measuring 32 weeks on fundal height- no idea what the actual baby measures though as I've not been scanned for ages. He is head down so that's good (my ribs dont think so though!!)
I'm flying to Norway on Saturday- little nervous but it's only 1:45 mins and my doctors say it's fine so I'm trying not to make a fuss!!
Hope everyone is ok.
Any news on baby Hayley? Would love more pics marks wife

 

[Young414]

Rachel- Glad that your appointment went well. I haven't been scanned in forever either! lol How exciting that you are flying to Norway! If your doctor's are okay with it, then don't worry I too, am wondering about Ivan and Hayley! Updates ladies when you can!

AFM- nothing to report other than the fact that the pain in my back and sides is increasing and comes in spurts. Almost makes me wonder if they are BH?? I have no idea..

 

[Lucy529]

Hi ladies :wave:

I'm tying my best not to die of boredom but yesterday went by fast I slept most of the day with the pup I honestly think he tired of me LOL he gonna have to get used to it tho bc my boss doesn't want me back to work until probably after my meternity

I have my dr apt this morning in about an hour so we'll see if he's grown since Thursday FX but the official diagnosis is Thursday with the specialist, I have noticed that since I've been laying around he moves more so they may keep me on bed rest.

Ooh and in other news I'm a new Auntie my SIL had my nephew yest at 36 weeks he was 19 inches and weighs 6.6 lbs such a cutie but no name yet they hadn't decided yet and they were just going to buy his crib and things today so I'm thinking my brother is busy LOL
Will update after my apt today

 

[JohnsonGirl]

Congrats auntie Lucy!!

 

[Megan252]

congrats Lucy! Hope your appointment goes well today

 

[xxemmyxx]

Congrats on being an aunty!

Hope everyone else is doing good! Time us going slowly for me at the moment! I just want to be in the 30's now!

 

[Young414]

Congrats Aunt Lucy!!

Emmy- You'll get there soon enough!!

I feel time is slow as well though. I just want her to be here!! But with that I've also recently developed a fear of labor. It just popped in out of nowhere. I have always been fully confident in my body and it's ability to deliver, but I now feel anxious and scared....anyone?

 

[xxemmyxx]

I feel a bit more nervous about it the closer I get to labour but I am still confident that if I stay positive it will be fine, I know I can do it and there's no point worrying cus these babies have to come out one way or another!

 

[Lucy529]

Young I was confident I could do it but now it's probably a c section.

Ivan seems to be doing good and cord flow improved but the nurse said to take my packed bag which I need to get done and wash Ivan's clothes and pack a bag for him too
She said if the specialist sent me home on just bed rest I was lucky so now I'm freakin out that I might be told I need hospital monitoring which I'm fine with as long as my little nugget is ok

 

[Megan252]

Young I've been getting anxious about it lately too. I just hope it goes more smoothly this time than last!

Lucy glad to hear Ivan is doing well! Hope everything stays on track and you don't end up in the hospital.

TMI (sorry) but is anyone swollen in their lady parts? I never had anything like this with my son's pregnancy. From everything I've read it seems normal but I'll still mention it to my doc tomorrow….so uncomfortable!!

Hi to everyone and hope you're all doing well!

 

[Young414]

Megan- yes, my lady parts are also swollen. I was also concerned about it, please ask your doc and let us know. I especially notice it when I use the rest room. I feel more pressure down there and can just tell by looking and wiping how swollen it is.

 

[Lucy529]

No problems down there yet FX it stays that way.

You never know how much you have til you do laundry LOL Ivan has tons of things my hubby is helping me wash so I can pack his clothes and getting something's for me packed too, a bit nerve wrecking
