I'm getting so excited we'll all be meeting our LO's soon.

MammaB- Haha! Oh gosh they're already so big I'm going to be like a circus freak!

Welcome, Leinzlove! I know, the new year is already so close, and they will be here before we know it.

What's every one doing for Christmas?

 

[babylgk]

Can I join in?
due on Jan 16 with a little girl! This is my 3rd baby.

Good Luck to everyone!

 

[Leinzlove]

Nothing out of the ordinary for Christmas here! I have a Dr. Appt. the day after.

Have a wonderful Christmas Everyone!

 

[OliviaRae]

Merry Christmas, January gals! It'll be baby-month before we know it!!!

 

[mommyB]

Merry Christmas girlies So excited, we are so close!! I had my 36 weeks appointment today and my GBS swab test. Everything is looking good.

 

[Leinzlove]

Thats great MommyB. They did my swab test last week. I wonder if I'll have Group B. I did with DD, but my Dr. says just because you had it with one doesn't mean you will with the other. I'll know on Wednesday,

Did you have it with DS?

 

[mommyB]

I never had it with DS, too be honest I don't even really know what Group B Strep is....maybe I should google it She was going to wait until next week but then I told her that my mom had me at 36 weeks and she thought it was better that I had I done today. I actually did it myself in the bathroom. So I'm assuming at my 37 week appointment next week they will start internal checks? I think I had my first check at 36 weeks with my DS because she was already doing the swab.

 

[Leinzlove]

I'd think so. I was going to have my first cervical check at 35 weeks. But, I was having aches, BH's and the Dr. found it best not to irritate my cervix.

I didn't get that but I don't think I'll be in labor anytime soon. The BH have been awful this time around. How about you?

 

[mommyB]

I had maybe two BH with DS and both were in the third tri. This time around they have started at 20 weeks and they are now becoming much more intense and frequent. Sitting on the couch at night I can get like 3 or 4 in a row. I'm also experiencing some period type pains. I know he's head down and he's dropped because he is right on my bladder. Who knows.....as long as he doesn't come on DS 2nd birthday which is the 10th of January

 

[Leinzlove]

Same here with the BH. No hurry here, really. DH wants her on his bday which is Dec. 26. But thats not happening!

It's nice though knowing it'll be soon regardless. I'm thinking 39 weeks probably.

 

[mommyB]

I'm thinking 39 weeks for me too! That would be a week after Adrian's birthday and they would be exactly 2 years apart! Perfect

 

[Leinzlove]

Wow! Our other two aren't far apart in age either. DD is 20 months old today.

 

[mommyB]

Nice! We didn't plan for two January babies, we planned for a two year age gap and just happened to get pregnant the first month trying. And now that were having another boy it just works out perectly! I haven't had to buy any clothes (well I bought a couple things) and I have everything from DS. And we can have joint birthday parties.....hopefully they don't mind

 

[Leinzlove]

Yeah, I didn't need many things either. But, I did buy some winter newborn. Thats great that you fell PG first month trying. I didn't have to bad of a time, but I MC at 9 weeks prior to this pregnancy.

So, my Dr. Appt. today went to perfection. I'm progressing! I'm 20% enfaced, 1cm dilated. Babys head can be felt and is head down. He never said anything about station. I know I can walk around like this for weeks. But, still exciting to see that my aches and pain are helping things along. My blood pressure remains perfect 126/70.

My next Dr. Appt. is Monday, Dec. 31! I also scheduled my last ultrasound for Jan. 2. I'm so excited about seeing my little love again.

My MIL & SIL are going crazy thinking I'm having her this week. I doubt it... but its funny that they realized in reality she could come any day.

 

[mommyB]

Awesome your doctors appointment went well! My next one is January 2nd, I'm hoping I get checked.

Leinzlove when did you have your first? I had DS at 40 weeks exactly so I'm curious if this one will be the same

 

[Leinzlove]

Are you not seeing your Dr. every week? My Dr. will do cervical checks at every appt. And the ultrasound is because I have GD. I'll most likely be induced at 39 weeks depending on how things are going...

I had DD at 39w2d, without any prior progression.

Oh yeah and I'm positive for Group B strep again... IV meds during labor.

 

[OliviaRae]

Glad to hear you are progressing, how exciting!

I have an ultrasound and stress test monitoring thing tomorrow, then OB appt New Years Eve.

Been feeling BH really strong today, it's getting more real

I'm now on weekly appointments, just went on Monday and am back in next week. They don't start internals until 37 weeks at my place. So I should hopefully get checked next week, it's nice to know what's going on

Sorry to hear your positive for Group B again, what is the reason for getting it?

 

[Leinzlove]

No reason for getting it. Just some women have it and others don't. It isn't harmful for me but is for baby if its not treated during birth.

I agree its nice knowing about cervical checks even if they don't mean much. My Dr. starts them at 35 weeks. But, he didn't check last week because I was having BH and aches. He said he didn't want to irritate my cervix. So, today was my first. With DD they were discouraging because I never had any changes prior to labor.

I haven't felt good at all since either. My lower back is so achy and my lower stomach is killing me. Feels like I'm being split in half. I can't believe I'm going for another in 5 days. Maybe it'll bring on labor. Doubtful, but you never know.
