Not sure if any of you have kept up with what's going on with Drgomps. She had her triplets! She was 30 weeks, so they are in the NICU but doing well.

Here is a link to her blog that goes into more detail about the delivery:

Got Molly's bedding washed yesterday, as well as newborn clothing washed last week. Bought nappies and formula today; it's slowly getting real now

i went in for my 34 week appointment yesterday and it was pretty uneventful, as usual, but they did say they would check my cervix next time. That is pretty exciting! I can't wait to see if there is any sort of progress happening down there. I've been in so much pain, and nothing is helping it go away. So the dr also said he would let me be induced at 39 weeks. However, i really don't want an induction. I'd much rather be able to labor at home. the other thing is once you go to the hospital they don't let you eat anything but ice. I've heard horror stories of induction taking DAYS. can you imagine - not eating for days? that would be miserable!

yeah I never understood that; here we can eat and drink whatever we like I guess it's in case you have to have a section; and the rate for sections is higher in the US than in Europe, but I can't think of any other reason. But if it helps I don't recall being remotely hungry or thirsty in either of my labours, and they were both 12 hours long. Before my first labour I ate a McDonalds, and I wasn't even able to eat a quarter of my Big Mac; I just had zero appetite, so perhaps it won't bother you?

I wasn't interested in eating during labour either. Something about feeling like you are being constricted by a snake takes away any appetite lol. I was desperately thirsty though and ate ice chips like mad.

 

[Kaiecee]

Had anyone still not picked a name for their little ones?

I guess I'm the weird one but I was starving during my labor! If my water breaks early again I'm going to eat something bf I go to the hospital lol. I was literally eating a sandwich within mins of delivering the placenta. It was the best sandwich I've ever had I was also very thirsty but they would only let me have a few ice chips.

Anyone else's baby getting hiccups several times per day?

 

[luz]

With my first I ate during labor before going to the hospital. I was starving, and just had to take a break every few minutes to breathe through the contractions. Once I delivered I was STARVING again and made my mom bring me a hamburger and shake

we aren't 100% on the middle name, but we've had the first name since the anomaly scan, more or less

 

[August3]

We have a name for a boy but none for a girl yet.....

 

[Nikkinoonoo]

We have Holly for a girl or Jake for a boy xXx

 

[Kaiecee]

I'm still not settled on a first name hope to find one soon

 

[brit3435]

Kaicee are there any names you are thinking about? What are your other kids names?

I've been having a lot of contractions this week and am now having pelvic pain. I'm feeling really nervous about my cervix check tomorrow hopefully it's still thick and closed, but I'm afraid it won't be, this is how I felt when I began to dilate and efface with my first daughter.

Hope your check up goes well and baby stays nice and cozy in there for at least a few more weeks!

 

[Kaiecee]

My other boys names are Seth Aidan Riley

 

[SugarBeth]

DH and I are already arguing over the name of the next baby.

 

[brit3435]

Well I'm 50% effaced and almost 1 cm dilated. Dr could get one finger in but not all the way through to baby's head. He wasn't worried and it doesn't mean I will have her preterm but it means I could. He said that baby's born at 34 weeks do just as well as full term and I know my daughter has always been advanced and was born at 36 weeks so I'm not going to worry about it, she will come when she is ready I guess! I prob won't get a Christmas baby though lol.

How is everyone else feeling?

Glad to hear things are ok and baby still has some more time to bake

It is nice that we are at a point where IF baby came early chances are they'd be just fine.

I've been battling heartburn and acid reflux, there are so many things I can't eat cuz they make it worse. Also fatigue has increased a lot, I've fallen asleep on the couch like 4 times today, probably cuz I don't get the greatest sleep at night due to being so big now, the reflux, having to pee all the time and her being super active.

She is getting crazy strong! Her kicks and punches make me think she will burst out of my belly!

I'm anxious for her to be here, and have some uncomfortable symptoms, but in all I'm still enjoying being pregnant.
