Hey ladies

for the car seats it may be worth checking with the hospitals, I know here they won't let you leave without them checking the carseat first... I don't know if they would go all the way out to the car to check that baby is in properly...so you almost need to have a bucket to leave the hospital.

This is the exact reason that I'm not getting a convertible seat even though they can be more cost effective.
 
Mrs_bump glad you got a good picture of the heart chambers.:thumbup: I go back on Wednesday to get a better picture of the heart chambers so hopefully my little guy is in a good position for them too. They are also checking to see if my placenta has moved up at all yet. And my little guy was breech at my last US too.:wacko:
 
Had a very eventful weekend and not in a good way!

Friday afternoon I started getting a horrible lower abdominal cramp. It wasnt coming and going, it was a steady stabbing pain down low. Felt like AWFUL gas. Assumed that's what it was for hours, couldn't get comfy, no matter how I sit or lay or stand it was excruciating pain. Then started getting chills and overheating. Checked my temp and it was 102. Took tylenol and used a cool rag to bring it down. Got very little sleep that night.

Saturday morning my temp was gone and now pain was coming and going as well as had a headache and lower back pain. Went to a clinic, they said urine came back "mildly positive" for bladder infection. They prescribed antibiotics. Started those immediately that morning. Pain was still coming and going all day. So just laid around doing nothing.

That night go up to bed and felt my uterus when I had the cramp come. Yeah now that I was paying attention to the cramp instead of trying to ignore it like I was all day. It was a intense contraction. My uterus was getting hard and they were coming every few minutes. I wasn't expecting that! I assumed it was my bladder hurting all day, I thought it was strange they were coming often in waves but didn't give it much thought. So now I'm terrifies I'm going into pre term labor. My parents came to watch DD who was in bed since it was 11pm. And DH and I go to the hospital.

Sat in the ER waiting room continuing to have intense contractions for over 2 hours before we get called back (being 19 weeks I missed the cut off for L&D by 1 week!) They do urine and bloodwork. Give an IV, they believe the contractions were from dehydration between the 100 degree weather we've been having, the bladder infection and pregnancy in general. The IV only mildly calmed the contractions. They also gave me some progesterone suppositories, still taking those for the week. Sent me home with pain meds as well for the pain in my bladder. Told me to just take it easy and drink TONS of water.

Hospital checked babies heartbeat and she was doing well, and I was feeling the occasional kick between contractions

Saw my OB today just to check in. Heartbeat still doing well. I still get the occasional cramp but it's not contraction like anymore. This headache still won't go away, taking the pain meds helps. I'm drinking all I can!

Off for a beach trip tomorrow with my family for the week. So should be able to take it easy since there are another 6 people to help take care of and entertain DD

So glad that's all over with and that baby is ok and I didn't go into labor, never dilated or anything. Could've been so much worse! But still was no fun.
 
DHBH0930 how scary, hoping everything is ok now and you start feeling better soon
 
Glad you are ok DHBH!! Doesn't sound fun! Keeping hydrated is pretty hard work I am noticing as well lol, seems like I drink a ton and my pee is still not light enough.

As for the carseats, if a hospital told me I had to spend an extra $200+ on a different carseat because they were too lazy to walk outside.. well.. lol ;-)
 
DHBH, so glad everything is ok!! That sounds scary!
Maybe take one of those igloo coolers with water to the beach?

My OB is extremely laid back about everything, but every time I see her (and I actually see her quite a bit at my work - outside of her office) the first thing she asks is how I'm doing on water for the day. I try to get 2 liters in a day of work, plus 8-10 oz each morning and night.
 
How scary, DHBH! I'm glad everything is OK and I hope you have no more scares :hugs:

That reminds me that I really need to be working harder on my fluid intake :nope:
 
Oh dhbh, sounds really scary. Glad your both ok and home now.
Good luck for Wednesday mimzy.
 
DHBH that does sound scary glad all is okay take it easy x
 
DHBH that would def. be scary! :hugs:I was having some period like cramping with bad lower back pain on Friday night that really worried me. I even used a heating pad on my back. I was most likely just dehydrated too. Reminder for all of us ladies to keep our fluid intake up, especially in these hot summer months. :thumbup:

Do you feel you were dehydrated DHBH and not drinking enough water?
 
Yes I have noticed tightenings of my bump when I do not drink enough! I need to make sure I keep up the fluids especially now I can keep them down :thumbup:

It is really hot here in the UK (well for the UK) at the moment so I have made sure I am drinking plenty today but also means tonnes of trips to the toilet :wacko:

Does anyone know when we need to start to count the kicks? I can't remember when I did with DS :wacko:
 
DHBH glad everything ok just take it easy and make sure to drink plenty of water also watermelon is good to

I do, my water intake isn't good for NOT being pregnant, luckly had no trouble with my first. But definitely gotta keep up on my intake this time around. So hard to remember sometimes. I'm all about my toddler all day, does she need a drink, a snack, a diaper change, etc that I forget about myself!

around 24 - 28 weeks I think or when ever you start to notice a pattern in baby's movements, it should say on the count the kicks FB page and their website.
 
why is ibs so much worse in pregnancy? usually it would last between 15 minutes to an hour, not today, had it pretty much all day, tried making it into work and got as far as meeting my mum in law from her work place before not being able to take the pain anymore.
yesterday wasn't a good day either. while I was at work I went all hot and dizzy and started getting black spots in my eyes, had to quickly sit down before I ended up passing out.
hoping tomorrow will be a better day.
on a different note, scan on Monday, can't not wait.
 
I'm really good with my water intake at work, cause I have my bottle next to me and I'm constantly drinking so I get at least 2L but when I have my days off I'm awful! I'm lucky to drink 1L! need to work on it, cause the weather is SO hot here right now
 
Is anyone noticing a pattern in baby kicks\movements? My baby seems to move during the night and not much during the day and because the movements aren't very strong I sometimes don't notice baby is moving around in there
