Babies due in JUNE!

[shmoo75]

It could be BH's I have also had BH's for a few weeks mine are tightenings right across my whole bump feels abit uncomfortable but they don't cause me any pain and they don't stop me doing what eve I am doing at the time. Hope this helps.

AFM- As of yesterday, I'm officially starting to lose my mucus plug I don't have any bloody show with that so far, no BH's that I can feel, and certainly no labor pains. From the 3rd tri board, I've learned that the body can regenerate plugs, however my Ob/Gyn sis tells me that typically this starts about week 36/37 (assuming a regular 40 week pregnancy).

So! Just per my feeling, I'm prolly going to have bubba little earlier. I'm betting about week 38 on the dot. I feel pretty good otherwise, but I think this weekend is the last one I'll help my DD in her tot tumbling/gymnastics class

Hi Starsign. I am using one of those bump bands and it's a god send, i don't think i could get about without it.
That's interesting about the mucus plug i didn't know that, so bubba might make an appearance this month.

I wish I could start nesting but this pregnancy is giving me problems already. It feels like I pulled a muscle or bruised up in the pelvic area. my joints in the pelvic area are very sore too. Another word, I can barely move because of extreme pain. I already talk to my OBGYN and she says it is normal .

maybe if I just lay down for a couple days, I will heal up some. I hope so

Oh sounds awful. I'm on a modified bedrest too, so my house is in the middle of being sorted out but far from being done...so I feel your pain and angst with respect to the house.

Maybe we will be in the hospital at the same time, after all!

Had another bleed yesterday, but my doc monitored me at her office and didn't have to got to Prentice. And the good news is that I am back home. So trying to be good and not do too much.

Yes, be good, be good...we're almost there. I may be waving bye to you as you're leaving and you'll be waving hello as I'm coming in. I am starting to get my hospital bag packed. I started thinking to myself...what did I do to pass time before??? And I remembered, I was so tuckered from being in labor so long, I slept and did visitors. And ate. This time will likely be a bit different, so I'll put in a few mags and a book that may never typically get around to.

Hey SS. What are the signs of starting to lose the plug? My sister said hers just came right out at once, which is what I was expecting!

As for my 'cramps', they are on the inside of the uterus, nothing felt on the outer part of my bump. And they dont hurt, just feels like my P is going to start and then it goes away after a few seconds.... I guess I will tell my doc tomorrow.

Why does everyone look at my belly and say that I am going to go early? I know exactly when we conceived so why would having a big bump make the baby come out sooner? just curious as to if there is any sense to what others say.

I also hated when people would say that morning sickness was such a great sign. I didnt have a drop of it, so whats the diff really? People need to think sometimes.... Thanks for the vent!

Feel good ladies and take it easy! No over doing it!

.....

Well, apparently some lose it gradually and others lose it all in one go (didn't know this until I talked to my sis). This pregnancy, I'm losing it gradually. My first, TBH, I don't even think I lost too much of it it as they had to break my waters; I was dilating but my waters weren't breaking since my hips weren't spreading far enough for DD to push her head down, so I don't think the plug even dislodged. This time- it was unmistakeable what it was.

The sensation was of wetting myself a little bit. The look of it..was like the name of it. All told, once you start losing it- the baby generally comes about 4 weeks later. So, I'm estimating bubba to try to show up by week 38 this time.

thanks lilmama, it does sucks, but yours sound serious. hope you have a lot of help.

 

[deafgal]

i have no idea what mucus plug looks like myself.

I am one blessed mama on bedrest. I have a fantastic, full-time super nanny that comes to my house everyday to watch my daughter and after last night, my hubby has no more overnight business trips until a month after LO is born. The only tricky thing about my being on bedrest is that I live in a four-story townhouse, so stairs are unavoidable. Over the last week, I had friends bring over food for lunch and dinner and even come over to walk the dog for me while hubby was away. The nanny is in the process of setting up the nursery for the new baby with the baby toys and books and laundering all the NB/0-3 month clothes. So, I am in good hands. I don't know what I would do without the nanny, hubby and great friends.

As for the mucus plug, I have no idea what it looks like either. i know it was gone by the time I went into have my first baby, but I never noticed it coming out, but I understand that it's different for other women...like everything else in pregnancy.

Sounds like you have a super nanny, lilmama!

Saw dr today, kind of blew off my comments of period feelings.... Said its normal, didnt even give it a label. Non stress test was fast and easy. Lasted maybe ten minutes, said baby moves around a lot-which i already knew- weighs close to 5 1/4 lbs, and again, has very long legs! I go back every friday for the same procedure, in order to make sure baby is growing properly because of the single artery on the umb cord

Finally it is friday! Monday will be my last day of work. Once in italy, i eventually plan to work again, but doing something less stressful... But no rush to do that either!

I cant wait to turn off the alarm on monday night, tho i know i will still wake up early!!

cute

 

[deafgal]

it is hard to get my baby to move during the NST . she is very laid back. she does move eventually, but we have to wake her up. they want me to do another ultrasound because my b/p climbed up alittle.

my cervix is still zero dilation or closed but I am not worry because it was like that with my first child (closed until the day of my labor)

 

[sadie]

Do you eat something sweet right before the nst? A few sips of my decaf iced coffee with 2 sugars always gets mine moving.

I was not yet dilated at my 35w appt. i think I will be tomorrow (37w) tho as I have felt some changes going on down there!

 

[StarSign]

Some women don't dilate at all until they start labor and go from 0- 10cm in 24hrs!!

Yipppeeee - It is now June- Our Month!!!!

Hope all you lovely ladies are well and counting down the final days with excitement and slight nerves!

I am not due till the end of the month - so hoping that I do stay in June and don't creep into July - as getting to the stage where enough is enough

Big Fat Swollen Feet & Ankles - which look really attractive and not having the ability to bend - is driving me mad!!!

Apart from that thought I must admit I have been really lucky and hoping that delivery will be quick and easy as well - My son - was a really quick labour at 1hr 50 mins with no pain relief - and I have heard that your second is usually quicker - so as soon as I feel any signs - it will be a mad dash for the hospital this time!!!!

Good Luck everyone and keep us up to date with your news!

Yep its June I saw my MW yesterday and she said baby was 3/5 engaged I told my DH and her promptly went up into the loft and bought down: the baby car seat, mattress protector and the unisex newborn and 0-3mth clothes that we have kept from when DD was born I'd only been asking him to get all this stuff down for weeks!!!! well at least its done now.

Looks like DD is really suffering with her last tooth or, she is about to come down with something or, a combination of both! Oh joy just what I want with less than 2wks to go til my EDD and it looks like DH wants to rip out the downstairs bathroom and put a new one in this weekend! I think that could be one quick way of me going into labour early Will keep you posted on that.

Hope you all enjoy the last few days/weeks til the madness of sleep depravation kicks in.

 

[deafgal]

yay for June! thanks for posting that. I didnt realize it is our month now
