Thanks, the steroids seem to be working. Have been feeling better.

Double digits on the countdown just seems like a huge milestone to me!!
 
Congrats on the double digits, Ganton! That's always exciting. :flower:

NZ, so sorry to hear about your asthma attack! That must have been scary. I'm glad the steroids are helping and you're feeling better now. :hugs:

Ja, if I weren't on these 17P shots, I would predict that this baby would come about 5 weeks early, like last time, but these shots are working so well that now I'm worried I'm going to go overdue and need to be induced! :haha: I started to dilate at 32 weeks last time, so we'll see what's happening when I hit that point this time.

So yesterday I fell down the stairs and today I am so freaking sore! :( I took all the impact on my tailbone, so my bump wasn't harmed, and baby has been moving like crazy, so I think he's fine, but I'm not feeling so great!
 
Ouch, that sounds painful and scary, glad baby had been movy heaps though. I have bruised my tailbone before and it seriously hurts! Take it easy if you can!
 
NZ - that's so scary, I'm glad everything is ok :hugs: I had no idea an asthma attack could present that way. I'm glad the steroids are helping.

Spiffy - ouch! I've hit my tailbone like that before on the stairs and it hurt! Hope you feel better soon.
 
I just read through really quickly so I'm not sure who wrote it but I like the idea of guessing our actual delivery date. Maybe we can add it to the first page.

I think may 18th will be my date. Baby seems to do things 5 days earlier than what the doctor says is the due date.
 
I've said for a while now that I think I'll either go into labor and have him in April, or not at all and have to be induced after my due date.
With that being said, I would really like him to be a May baby, so I'm going to guess May 3rd! :flower:
 
My official guess would have to be April 21st. It's the week I stop my 17P shots, and is also a full moon (two of my three babies were born on full moons). :flower:

Also, would everyone be okay if I made up a list of our guesses on the third page of this thread (on my first post)? That way Busytulip doesn't have to be the one to keep updating it.
 
Spiffy- I was actually coming to suggest the same thing, but you beat me to it! :)

So my appointment was canceled today due to the weather, they closed my midwives' office. I can only schedule on Fridays due to work, and next Friday I'll actually be working to make up for the day we closed our office earlier this week. So the earliest I think I'll be seen is when I'm 26 weeks, when my last appointment was at 19 weeks. It's frustrating! This was one if the things I was worried about when choosing providers, because if I was have chosen a local OB I could probably see them on my lunch breaks if needed.
 
Ja, if you don't mind me asking, why did you choose a midwife over an OB? (I know in the UK it's normal to have a midwife, but not as much here in the US).
 
I think baby will come 9 days early (May 8th) on my anniversary :).. if for no other reason then because we have a getaway planned. ;)

My next appointment is the 2nd at 25 weeks and I'll be doing the glucose test!
 
good idea spiffy

Ja, thats annoying about your appointment.

My next appointment is when I am 24 weeks. My mw will just be giving me the forms for my 28 week bloods and glucose test. She said everyone hears horror stories about the glucose test but it really isn't that bad at all. I'm not very good at drinking or eating things I find gross though, so I imagine I will struggle to get it down (unless it randomly tastes good)
 
My glucose test is supposed to be not this appointment, but the next.

I chose a midwife mainly for the chance of less interference when it came time to deliever. Statistically, I would have a much higher chance of having an unmedicated vaginal delivery. The hospital they deliever at is also very nice and has tubs you can labor in, which I liked.
 
Ooh, I can't decide whether to change my guess to 15th April. All different months, but DS1, DS2 and my birthdays are on the 5th, 10th and 20th, so adding the 15th to the pattern would be pretty cool. I'd be 38+1 on 15th April and it's a day when the boys are in nursery, so a good day to disappear off to give birth, but I'm just not sure it'd happen that early when my other two arrived at 41+1 and 40 weeks. All round I think it'd be a good date though, so I think I'll make that my guess.
 
I'm going to guess may 8 for me, barring any GODM or PIH problems. I'll be 41 weeks by dating and 40+3 according to my ovulation date. And it's mothers day!
 
Ja, if you want a intervention-free birth, that's probably the way to go to make sure you get what you want. Some OB's are totally open to that, but some will definitely push interventions. My first OB (I got a new one after for multiple reasons) gave me an episiotomy without asking or even telling me she was doing it, and that bothered me. The OB I have now, though, is awesome. :flower:

Ganton, you never know, you could go earlier this time. Everyone always says the third baby is the wild card when it comes to labor. ;)

DrJo, I sort of forgot that Mother's Day was in May. That would be a really nice mother's Day gift! :)

NZKiwi, I'm a super picky eater, but I honestly didn't mind the glucose drink that much. It seriously just tastes like soda with no carbonation. But if it grosses you out, just chug it down as fast as you can!
 
I'm not 100% confident I'll be able to do it medicated free, but I knew I wouldn't have a chance with an OB.

So since hubby and I were snowed in today, and his work was canceled, we decided to finally get stuff done! I unpacked the stroller and car seat from their box, because it takes up less room, and we started painting! After we are finished with painting for the day, I'll probably work on something else for his room, but it will depend on what's accessible.
 
Hi ladies, just checking in! Been in hospital all week with HG - not fun! After dealing with false labour and an irritable uterus last week (and again starting today), its been a rough couple of weeks. Hope you're all well and cooking healthy babies :)
 
Flossie, Pink and I both deal with an Irritable Uterus, as well, so we can both empathize with you on that one. :hugs: As for the HG, I've thankfully never experienced that, so I can only sympathize. That must be awful! :hugs:
 
Yep actually having quite a few flare ups today :( it's making me very uncomfortable and also my lower back and upper thighs are hurting too. Not sure what's going on but it's uncomfortable!!!
 
Pink, my uterus is also acting up. My theory is the full moon tomorrow (as I said before, two of my three kids were born on full moons, so I figure there must be something to it!). :haha:
