2016 May Miracles

[sugargully]

I have a rocking cradle but it's too big for our bedroom. I'm thinking if either a portable swing for our room or the Fischer auto price Rock n Play.

I hate our bed though. It has a 6" edge that will make it hard to just reach over and get baby out of the sleeper. I might do a in bed co sleeper

Thank you Baker. I do get a racing heart sometimes, specially in the morning. But what I am having frecuently is discomfort/pain in my diaphragm, sort of heartburn and tightness in the chest. Am doing better controlling my portions at dinner, having ginger tea, and sleeping part of the night seating and leaning in three pillows.

 

[Em260]

Esperenza - it sounds like reflux and heartburn to me. I get it sometimes now when I eat something with too much spice, too many tomatoes, or if I eat too large of portions. You can try Tums or ask your Dr. for something stronger if that doesn't work.

I just had a friend dx with preeclampsia so I always get nervous! But yeah I'd agree, totally sounds like lovely heartburn! I'm having that too! Especially if I stay squished over too much! I hope you find some relief!

 

[febbride2012]

i'm only so organised as my girls are so close in age lol!

 

[febbride2012]

today my little bean has been kicking me so much we all saw her constant kicks from the outside. so different to my other girls who has anterior placentas so I barely felt them.

 

[busytulip]

Those little kicks are wonderful

 

[bakerh518]

The ultra sound tech said I have an anterior placenta as well but I am doubtful bc this baby moves and kicks way more than my son! I can't imagine there is more than I am feeling!

 

[Spiffynoodles]

Regardless of where my placenta is at, I've been able to see the boys moving at this point in pregnancy, so I don't think the placenta always keeps you from seeing their movements. A few weeks ago, I was in a meeting, and someone across the room told me they could see my baby moving.

Febbride, I feel you on the organization woes! It's hard to get anything done with littles that undo all your work the second after you do it!

 

[ja14]

I have an anterior placenta, and was able to feel/see kicks at 17 weeks, they were just toward one side of my belly. I didn't feel movement in the center for a few more weeks.

I meant to tell you all that I passed my glucose test! I was a little worried about that, so glad it went well. I'll be 30 weeks in a few days, and I've been saying for a while that 30 weeks seemed like a big milestone, excited I'm going to be there! It's crazy to think Bennett could come in the next 7-11 weeks and be very healthy!

 

[pinkpassion]

Yay ja!! I also passed my glucose test!

I can't believe that tomorrow I'll be 29 weeks. We are all getting so close ladies!! It is flying yet standing still!! I start my every two week appointments tomorrow so that's exciting. I still have SOOOOOOOOOOO much to do!!!

 

[Em260]

Congrats on passing your tests ladies!

I alternate between feeling like i have so much time left and freaking out because he will be here in 11 weeks! I finally hit 3rd trimester so that has made me feel like time is passing faster.

 

[TTDuck]

I had my glucose test last Tuesday and haven't gotten a call saying I didn't pass! They can be slow with those calls sometimes so I'm not calling it a pass quite yet but optimistic at least!

 

[Spiffynoodles]

TTD, my OB's office will only call if you didn't pass, so silence is a good sign!

Ja and pink, congrats on passing your tests.

So weird to think that I'm only 6 weeks away from when my last baby came! That seems so soon! Hopefully with these shots, I'll still have another 8 weeks of cooking, but it is strange to think about. I have my next OB appointment tomorrow, and I'm guessing that my cervix will not have changed since last appointment, but it will still be reassuring to hear.

 

[busytulip]

Congrats to those ladies who passed their glucose test.
Pink, spiffy and anyone else with appts this week I hope things go well.

 

[sugargully]

I passed mine too! I'm so surprised by that good news. Diabetes runs in my family.

So I'm wondering if the doctor will start checking my cervix now that I'm in 3rd tri? My next appt is next week.

 

[busytulip]

Sugar they don't usually start checking until 37 weeks or later, congrats on passing gtt as well

 

[Spiffynoodles]

Sugargully, here the average is 36 weeks to start checking your cervix. I just get mine checked sooner because I'm high risk for preterm labor.

 

[Em260]

Congrats on passing sugarlully! I think my doctor checked mine at 38 weeks with my DD because I was being induced the following week. Every OB is different though, my friend told me her OB wouldn't check at all unless she requested it.

 

[bakerh518]

Yea to those that passed the glucose test! i did mine today so we shall see!!


Our midwife office does not check unless we ask for it b/c my midwife said it just gives false hope, you can stay a little dilated for weeks or not be dilated at all and then BAM baby! but i was always curious!
