Anyone want a late bump buddy?

[OliviaRae]

Yeah my sister was Group B positive... when do they check for that?

 

[Leinzlove]

Between 35-37 weeks. I had my swab test last week.

 

[mjvdec01]

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

My next OB appointment is New Years Eve as well. My first internal is the following week.

Girls due Jan 27.... can you believe we're exactly one month away from our due date?! Ahhhh I hope I go into labor at 38 weeks. Haha. Does any one else have a "plan" of how they'd like things to go?

I know how I would like things to go but don't want to be too firm in my plans as it will likely al change! I'm really wanting a water birth but I've got an antenatal check on monday to see if my LO is still breech and whether I need to book a caesarian

Can't quit believe how close it is now but I think I'm as prepared as I will ever be...

 

[daisydaisy83]

How's everyone feeling generally? My BH are definately getting more regular and I'm having menstrual type pain with them too. LO is wriggling about A LOT so maybe she is trying to turn around. I'm also having spells of feeling really sick at the moment, I'm very glad to have finished work!

[OliviaRae]

Oh your LO is breech right now? There's ways to try to turn her around, do some research! Are you scared you might have to have C-sec?
BH getting more frequent and lightening crotch is crazy.

Have to tell you girls- today I had ultrasound and they switched over to 3d and LO was sucking on her foot!! haha it was so funny and cute

 

[Leinzlove]

I'm feeling miserable. Lower back, lower tummy achy. It's hard to walk, just feel sore. I have major heartburn and moderate BH.

Sometimes I wonder how I'm going to handle 3 weeks of this.

 

[daisydaisy83]

She was breech at my last midwife appointment. There's been a lot of movement since then but I really can't work out which way she's laying anymore. I don't think I would want them to try to turn her from the outside so I would be looking at a C-section if she doesn't move on her own. Obviously it's not what I want but there's not a lot I can do about it...

I've been getting bad heartburn too it's horrible isn't it? I'm just trying to keep busy even though I'm uncomfortable otherwise the next four weeks is going to be hard.

 

[mommyB]

I'm actually feeling pretty good. Besides the fact that DS and I can't seem to shake our colds we keep getting. That's making me miserable! I'm having BH and period type pain and lightning crotch Nothing out of the ordinary, I'm more than likely going to carry to my due date like my first because I'm feeling the same as I did before. Another 9lb baby for me!

 

[Leinzlove]

daisy: Still time to turn head down. I've heard some babies wait until 37 weeks. Oh, yes the heartburn is a killer.

MommyB: 9lbs...Yikes! I can't see myself having that big of a baby. I'm miserable, but I'm sure its normal.

 

[mommyB]

Yup 9lbs 5ozs! Delivered him vaginally with no complications and didn't need stitches. I'm hoping for the same situation Big babies run in my family, so I was expecting it. Plus DH and I are both tall.

I am having horrible acid reflux! To the point where I choke because it hurts so bad! Finally picked up some Tums last night, they help a bit.

 

[Leinzlove]

Wow, the babies in our families are on the smaller side. DD weighed 6lbs 3oz at birth. And I needed stitches.

I have horrid acid reflux also. Its terrible. I have tums in just about every room. I hate how it gets in the back of my throat.

 

[mommyB]

Ugh it's horrible isn't it? The burning sensation just constantly there! Deffinitely will not miss it, I never had it with DS at all! Wonder if the old wives tale is true, heartburn equals hair?

 

[Leinzlove]

Definitley could... I had it this bad with DD, also. And she came out full head of hair.

 

[Tankmom23]

Im due Jan.27Th! Its my second, a little boy! We are getting so close!!!

 

[Tankmom23]

Have you guys tried papaya enzyme for heartburn? I started taking it a few weeks ago with every meal and it helped so much! hes dropped i think though so i no longer get it.

 

[Leinzlove]

TankMom: Welcome! No, I've never heard of that. What is it exactly? We sure are getting close. So exciting!

Full Term today...

So ready for this pregnancy garbage to be OVER. I just want my baby. I had to take our daughter (who will be 7 on the 9th of February) shopping for all new shoes. Apparently, as of this morning, all her shoes are too small, except for one pair of red patent leather boots. We didn't leave until after dinner, and the trip just about killed me. Madalyn was an angel, and so excited to get four new pairs of shoes, but still, I'M SORE AND TIRED. My husband volunteered to take her, but that's a scary situation. He would have just let her chose whatever she wanted, and not tried to steer her toward practical. She would have come home with 4 pair of pink sparkly Mary Janes.
