[babymonkey18]

Sry I've fallen behind here, but I read all of the posts!

Jammers, update on how you're doing today?

I am loving hearing about all the scans coming up, and the gender reveals. It's exciting to see the poll results growing

 

[babymonkey18]

Also garden, love abigail's room. Too cute. That little lady melts my heart. She also has the prettiest eyes!

 

[babymonkey18]

Peanut, I hope your scan goes well, I think it's happening right now! You are a great momma already, and I hope the pains subside so you can get some good rest

 

[3boys]

p.s. i forgot to mention that last week my doc put me forward 9 days to 19 nov putting me at 19wks today but i think i will stick with my dates as i am certain they are right, if his were right it would mean i o'd on cd 4 lol. So i will stick with mine and hopefully i wont have the dissapointment of going over due.

 

[babymonkey18]

Congrats, on the little boy, 3boys! Dh is also one of 5 boys, and he loves it so much! I agree to think in terms of the dates you know. My dr and mw dated me for lmp, but I was temping and know when I o'ed within a day so I plan to keep that in mind bc they'll prob say I'm past due when I still have 3-4 days to work with!

Had my monthly doc appt today. My bp was a little high but I was also on a stressful phone call right before my appt, plus I was running late, Plus i was coming from work. They really should take BP at end of an appt I was much calmer then! lol 132/64.

So my Fundal height is getting out of control i'm measuring 27 cm haha but at sonogram baby measured perfectly on track so It's probably all my extra FAT!! lol

I lost 2lbs since last visit with a total gain since BFP at 6lbs total. I am not upset by this considering my size pre pregnancy and that the baby is growing normal.
Heard Amanda's HB but I couldn't enjoy it because i was too stressed about returning to work. Still nice to hear she is in their all happy and content.
I had to tell the nurse where to look and I based it on my "kicks"; well I was right! So I guess I am feeling baby girl kick me since her HB was right where I felt a kick earlier today. lol

One thing that is worriesome the doc fills out this form at the end of every visit for billing purposes and today I saw the Diagnosis at the bottom - High risk pregnancy But he never mentioned that I was high risk. I am not surprised I am just based on my BMI but should I be concerned he put this on paper and didn't tell me??? I mean maybe he doesn't want to worry me since it's probably just a precaution because of my weight??
Everything besides my weight has been textbook. I haven't had anything of concern go on. All my tests have come out good thus far.

Doesn't look I'll be getting another Scan because doc said they saw no abnormalities and he didn't seem concerned that they weren't able to see everything. SMH he must hate giving women extra ultrasounds LOL

I asked about my nipple piercings and breast feeding. He suggested I schedule an appointment with the lactation specialist at the hospital. He originally suggested I wait to speak to them when i give birth but He didn't know much about them and I told him I had read that some people suggest taking them out about now and some say you can wait till baby is born. Better safe than sorry I'm gonna ask the lactation specialist soon In case they suggest I take them out now. Doctor wants to know what the specialist says on the topic. LOL I guess I'm gonna be his nipple ring breast feeding guinea pig! lol

Oh and my monthly cervix exam was good still closed, long and no issues. I don't think the monthly check is necessary at this point since every time it's been perfect probably could change it to every other month but whatever. Nice to have reassurance that the cervix is exactly how it should be.

That about sums it up for me. You probably know more about my nipples and cervix than you care to lol

I'm afraid to say. lol I only had a few contractions this morning. Usually they've started by now again (as the antibiotic has worn out by now), but so far I'm ok. I've had some other odd sensations though--some cramping and general heaviness. Baby's fine though still. Moving around and such, so I know all is well with that--just my body feels like it's betraying me. I'm hoping that things are getting better though, seeing as how the contractions haven't been as bad today. I take my last antibiotic tonight, so the real test will be how things go tomorrow.

Thanks for asking about me, hon. (((HUGS)))

Ugggh... I don't think this is always the case, but maybe because of your previous mc he considers you "high risk?" Other than that, it seems like your pregnancy is going quite swimmingly!

You should pop over to the breastfeeding boards and ask about the nipple piercings. The ladies over there are all very experienced nursers, and some might have experience with this!

Happy to hear all is well with Baby Amanda!

Thanks Emily!!

Great suggestion about the breastfeeding boards!!! Amanda has definitely been munching on my brain because it's almost gone! hahaha

This doc is SUPER conservative so I'm sure it's just a precaution for his notes. Plus I just read High Risk only means that you have a GREATER chance of you or baby developing a problem - doesn't mean you have a problem. Plus this could be a code he used because we had discussed the RH negative factor and GD testing at 28 weeks. Apparently i'm A- and I have to be tested for the RH factor thing. WHO KNOWS!

My goodness we are pregnancy twins! I am Rh- as well! O- here!
All they are going to do is give you a shot of Rhogam at 28 weeks-ish, then one after you deliver her. I will have GD testing at 28 weeks as well. My sugar in pregnancy for whatever reason always registers high, even though my risk factors for it are super low! I've never been diagnosed as having GD, but they monitor me cuz I am always on the border between highish-normal and concerning. It's weird, but oh well. It is what it is.

 

[Angeltk42]

I have a lot of diabetes in my fam so I'm a little nervous about GD test! But praying I don't have to deal with that animal! Yeah I never knew my blood type before hahaha he mentioned the shots so whatever I can handle a shot if necessary! Hahaha

I have had my nipples pierced too and took them out a few years ago. I have had past friends with theirs still pierced and took them out when baby came. There is usually NEVER an issue for breast feeding as the milk will just flow out in three places instead of one. And in some cases baby will take less time to feed in others it will flow at the same rate.
