Babies due in JUNE!

[Destin]

Ok, i have another question/comment.... Anyone on here have slight sleep apnea? I swear i woke in the middle of the night last night, like I hadnt been breathing. I startled myself, felt out of breath, almost like someone was covering my mouth, had to take a deep breath, etc. This happened a week or so ago, as well, but I just ignored it. Since it happened last night again, i did a google and they said a few women do develop it during pregnancy. Strange. And it was scary and i was nervous about going back to sleep.

Dont know if it will help, but i am going to try to sleep with my head higher elevated than normal.

I don't know that I have it, but have done that several times before in the past prior to pregnancy. I have acid reflux real bad and doctor told me that will cause it. I also have had real bad anxiety in the past that caused it. My Mil who is a nurse questioned me with having it, because people with real bad acid reflux sometime this goes along with sleep apnea. Sleeping on pillows elevated helps me. Also I purchased an air purifier that seemed to help.

Morning Ladies..

Sadie you have a gorgeous bump - think you definitely need to show it off!

Thought I would update you on my 20 week scan - all went well - had a miserable sonographer - so the information / conversation wasn't very forthcoming - but she said as far as see could see no problems and that was it!!

So a bit of a relief!!

When I got home I looked at the notes and it did mention that the placenta is anterior high - so that is probably why I am not feeling much movement as yet?? Also the baby is in breech position - again I presume I have a long time for this to change yet - so not too worried yet - but really want a natural birth so hope the baby does a few big movements before its due date!

Stayed Strong and remained team yellow!

 

[Sunshine12]

Greengerbera, my placenta is anterior high as well. I didnt feel what I definately know is movement until 21 weeks or so. Glad all went well with scan! x

Sadie, its funny that you should say that as I actually woke up this morning because I was dreaming I was suffocating and wasnt breathing. I woke up thinking I was going to die from lack of oxygen! My OH got a fright! That said, I dont think I have sleep apnia, I think mine was just a bad dream as hasnt happened before (thankfully). xx

 

[sadie]

Great news, Green. I have an anterior placenta as well. Dont know if it is high, tho! I dont have notes from my docs... And the anterior bit is why my doc said u wont be feeling so much movement atm... But i will, he assured me!

greenie, do you have a hunch, as to boy or girl?

Sunshine, what have you been up to? I am going out to dinner tonight and am def going to have a nice glass of red wine!! Woop woop!

 

[greengerbera]

Thanks Girls that is really reassuring about the anterior placenta - at least I not the only freaky person to have it

Sadie - my gut feeling was girl - but when I say my 12 week / 20 week scan pictures I immediately thought it was a boy!

However...

All the chinese predictors apart from one - say girl

Old Wives Tales point to it being a girl - Sweet Cravings, Spotty Skin, etc

158 Heartbeat - Girl???

Ring over tummy - Circles - So Girl????

Not that I have been trying to guess at all

So we will see...... I must admit I would love to know!!

 

[sadie]

hmmm, sounds feminine to me, to.

also, my baby was breech at my 20w scan, again told not to worry!

 

[StarSign]

Heck, I thought most babies were breech until closer to time for them to make their exit?

 

[Sunshine12]

Great news, Green. I have an anterior placenta as well. Dont know if it is high, tho! I dont have notes from my docs... And the anterior bit is why my doc said u wont be feeling so much movement atm... But i will, he assured me!

Sunshine, what have you been up to? I am going out to dinner tonight and am def going to have a nice glass of red wine!! Woop woop!

Oh that will be lovely! Nothing like nice food and a nice glass of wine to go with it. I might have a glass tonight too actually. You have put me right in the mood and luckily I have a nice bottle of Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc (my absolute favourite) in the fridge.

I was at my quilting classes today which was good. Apart from that not done much. OH is going to be incapacitated for quite some time as they have said its a really bad and unusual break. He is getting a taxi to work tomorrow (its half an hours drive so he cant go in every day) so at least Ill get the house to myself for the first time in ages. Yay!!

p.s Re the breech thing, its no big deal until you are around 34 weeks. Baby has loads of time to move and loads of space to do it. x

 

[sadie]

is tomorrow his first day back to work? he must be bored at home and I am sure you are looking forward to having some of your routine back in place....

Another malady... I also had a crazy leg cramp early this morning and have had it in recent weeks. I remember those from when I would drink too much wine with friends, go to sleep and wake with killer leg cramps. everyone said it was due to lack of water....( no sign of suffocating during the night.... in reading up on it, they say because of the extra blood and the swelling, that it's quite common- the sleep apnea, that is!) I will try sleeping more propped up. Last night i wasn't comfy doing so....

Bring on the vino! I need my baby to be 30-40% smarter than kids from mom's who didn't have wine from time to time....

 

[Bats11]

Mine is anterior also, yes movement does get cushioned!! But I am feeling her everyday though.

Sadie sleep apnea, that would have scared the heck out of me.

 

[Sunshine12]

No he just has to go in as he has a board meeting. He wont be going in every day, just when he has meetings. For the next 8 weeks he shall mainly be here, in the house, with me, unable to even spread a piece of toast.......




Bless his heart, he is trying to be so helpful but cant do anywhere near as much as before. He still brings me tea every morning though which is good. Because he cant bend properly without hurting his arm, he now sits on the floor on his knees when he is saying goodnight so he can reach my tummy to give baby a kiss. He is so lovely. x

p.s Had my wine. Was lush. Im blaming your influence.

 

[sadie]

I dont know about most being breech. The sonographer made it seem that it wasnt the normal, but told me not to worry, that they usually turn the right way when the time comes. ? Who knows!

Ys, the sleep apnea was scary. Hopefully it is a sporadic thing.... And the leg cramp was annoying as well.

Well sunshime now is a good time to start a family history book about you and OH for your LO to have when he or she is older. OH can start filling in his portion! (check out your local book store!)

My wine was delish. I blame you and heather. (heather pointed out that fantasic study!) i could have had a second glass, but of course i didnt!

 

[sadie]

Any other loser besides me who still watches glee? And I love ricky martin. I think he is hot, as is enrique. Yum. I think i was a spaniard/hispanic in my past life.....

I dont watch Glee. Are you talking about Enrique Iglesias? If you are then phwaaarrrr, yes please. (I used to fancy his father if Im honest. Sick I know but i did. I also have 2 of his albums!! (Julios not Enriques) )

Definately dont fancy Ricky Martin. Eewwwwwww. Sooooo not my type.

 

[sadie]

Yes! Thats my enrique. Julio's album xxxbelair place reminds me of summers boating with my family. We listened to it over and over again and en I went out and bought my own copy 15 years later! I should put that in my ipod!

Thats one of the one I have (although its on tape lol.) Im going to go and download it from I-tunes. I love reminiscing!

To all the girls Ive looooovvveddd before.........

 

[Ellie Bellie]

The mattress just arrived! Yay! I ordered the crib and mattress on Saturday evening and hadn't expected it to arrive so quickly. The crib itself is scheduled to be delivered on Monday if the tracking is accurate. Also, my friend at work is giving me the bedding that her daughter had. It's not what I would have chosen on my own, but it's beautiful and will go great with the colors already in there. I got the quilt yesterday and she's bringing in the bumpers and bedskirt today. I'll get all new fitted sheets to coordinate. On top of this, the desk that's been in that room since we moved in will be getting picked up by a friend this weekend. So by early next week the nursery may actually start looking like a nursery - hooray!

 

[Sunshine12]

That sounds great Ellie. Weve not even picked paint colours yet! I reckon by April we will start painting but Im not accessorizing until baba is here so that I can make some of it gender specific. x

Sunshine, a little late to the game, but sorry about drama for DH!! Sending him some fast healing .

AFM- I'm barely getting going on the name game. I'm almost interested in adding more to the registry, but I'm not quite there yet. We'll see what next brings
