BD'ing my butt off--whose in it for November??

[Womble12]

Jess, forgot to say, I've been swimming, its great, but I've had groin pain and found doing breast strike legs made it much worse. Thought I'd mention it as if you have similar pain its best to avoid breast stroke legs. I look like a right idiot in the pool doing breast stroke arms but kicking legs, but least its exercise eh!!

I'm laying in bed so tired this am but I don't want up get up lo
It's 6 am sO better get moving

Jenna- I don't think my bump ever rose...lol! I am carrying really low, and my bladder can sure tell!

Jess- It is very unusual for you to go very much early with your first. Also, don't look to much into the measurements. With Mikey, my OB said I was measuring 8 1/2 lbs and I was induced a week later and he was 6lbs 14oz!

Naomi- sorry your hubby is upsetting you! Hope he starts to be nicer!

Sophie- hope you have fun at your class tonight!

AFM- I have my glucose test this afternoon, ick! This morning we are going on a preschool tour that Mikey might go to this fall. He is so excited to go to school!

Anyone heard from Tara? Been a few days since she last posted I'm worried! Tara hope u ok.. Post soon! Xxx

 

[mackjess]

Oh, I have a feeling I'm going to hit 40 weeks and maybe even have to be induced. If my kid is anything like me he'll be stubborn and go over the date. But hey, nothing wrong with wishful thinking right? I'll keep my fingers crossed for Dolly as well. I keep saying 7 weeks to help me survive, it sounds much easier than when I say 10 weeks til I'm due, but could be 12 more weeks! My OB did say though that she pushes for inducing at 40 weeks rather than letting people go over too far, so I'm all for that. She said the placenta is perfectly designed for 40 weeks and she likes the babies to be out of there by 41.

Sophie - I'm not really a swimmer. I know how to swim, but I've never had lessons and don't properly swim in strokes or anything. Hopefully my fancy frogger leg swimming doesn't strain anything.
What is your class exactly tonight? Is it like a birthing class? We went to those the last two weeks, and it traumatized DH. Not sure what he is worried about!

Amanda - I've carried low myself. My placenta has been up at the top during my scans, so when I was first prego it looked high but now that the bump really came in it's low. Must be cause the baby can't go so high. Killer on the bladder!


Bailey, Naomi, Tara, and all of our lovely TTCers, thinking of you girls.
Hope your AFs come and go so you can get back to BDing!

 

[MommyNikki]

Lol you don't want them in there longer than 40 weeks ESP during the summer time...you will be soooo ready. They still haven't scheduled my c section but I'm shooting for July 29. I've been so tired lately... I've been working alot too so that doesn't help. Pool opens in about 2 weeks so I will be spending my days off there lol I need some exercise but I'm so tired and get exhausted doing anything..idk what to do

 

[Pray2bBlessed]

Nikki- I do water fitness at the gym I go to, and it is great! I love it!

So, we have no AC at the moment, and it has been in the 90's the past 2 days! I am dying! Lol! It's finally starting to cool off in the house right now. Hopefully the guy we know will be able to come out tomorrow! The same thing happened last year, apparently out AC has a small leak somewhere so we had to have it filled with freon at the beginning of last summer, and it worked all summer, so I guess we need to get it filled again!

We really liked the preschool we went and looked at today, so we are going to be enrolling Mikey! He loved and didn't want to leave!

I think I forgot to post my pic last week, so here is the one I took yesterday!

 

[Dollybird]

Morning ladies! Hope everyone's well! Lovely bump pic Amanda! It's lovely weather here too but not quite AC conditions lol.. Although I wish we had AC at work it's always roasting there!
Naomi glad af is away but sorry hubby still being a jerk. I'm sure he'll snap out of it soon.
Jess I'm hoping we don't go overdue! I know what u mean about looking at it as 7 more weeks, that's the way I've been looking at it too - although it will prob make it seem all the worse if I do go overdue!
Sophie hope bubs is still kicking away and keeping you from worrying.
Nikki I'm tired too.. Even the thought of exercise fills me with dread but swimming might be nice.
Bailey hope u are doing good? Still opking?
Hope everyone else is well!
Afm well I woke last night with the most agonising leg cramps that too ages to pass! Honestly they were so painful I was in tears. My right leg in particular is still sore this morning. Praying it doesn't happen again it was awful!! I'm really really struggling with work also. The shift are just too long and too busy. And my back is suffering. Only got two weeks left but hubby is urging me to finish up early.. Not really keen to do that as it will leave me with less time with bubs after. Xxx

 

[Pray2bBlessed]

Jenna - Leg cramps are the worst! I got them a few nights ago and my leg was still sore the next morning too! I'm sorry about work! Is there anyway they can shorten your shifts? They know your preggo and its hard for you to be on your feet so much!

AFM - My doc called me this afternoon with my glucose results, and I failed the test by 2 points! I guess they want your level to be under 130, and mine was 132. So I have to endure the darn 3 hour test! URG! My doc even said she thinks everything will come back normal with the second test, but she wants me to do it anyways. My appointment for that is this Wednesday, and I have to be there at 7:45am, and I have to have fasted for 12 hours, so i guess we have to have an early dinner Tuesday night and no bedtime snack!

 

[mackjess]

Sorry Pray! When I did my one hour test I didn't have any carbs or sweets for about 2 days before and I passed. Not sure if that helped, but I didn't want to do the 3 hour test! I've been prediabetic before so I was pretty worried about it.

 

[Pray2bBlessed]

I passed last time. But I did drink some semi-sweet tea before I drank the glucola, I wonder if that had anything to do with it...I didn't even think about that.

 

[mackjess]

Well I hope you do good with the 3 hour. The hour one wasn't bad, I didn't get woozy til the end but I think that was because they lab couldn't find a vein. They literally stuck me 5 times before they found one!

 

[MommyNikki]

I refused to do the glucose test with my son and now this baby because with my daughter they said I was borderline but I can't see how accurate a glucose test could be when they allow you to eat the morning of your test...once that food breaks down, all sugars are in there and then you dump a certain amount more on top of it so its not like they are just seeing how your body gets rid of x amount...plus that drink is the worst and trying to drink that whole little bottle is torture lol

 

[Pray2bBlessed]

Oh Jess! That stinks! I have very visible veins so I have never had a problem with them finding one. Except for when I was in the hospital for a month and they ran out of places to put new IV's in! Lol!

Nikki- your right, it doesn't make to much sense! The drink that I had (orange flavored) wasn't too bad, it was just like very sweet kool-aid! Not my preference in a drink, but I just downed it! Lol!

 

[mtln777]

Hello girls sorry I have been MIA......Been busy we celebrated Lily's 8thh bday and BOY it was a big deal she LOVES BIRTHDAY'S!!!!! I didn't mean to be so absent just guess I kinda needed a break as well, STILL A BFN and NO AF?????????? WTF!!!!!!!! I'm irritated not even a sign the witch is coming?????

Jenna not sure how it works over there but if ur dr pulls u out of work early u collect disability from when he pulls u plus the 6 or 8 weeks after.....So with that if ut works have ur dr pull u early and u still can collect money and get ur 6weeks for vaginal 8weeks for section!!!

Naomi thanks for caring xoxoxoxoxoxoxo till the end!!!!!!! Hope u r getting on ok and ur hubster quits being a tool..... xoxoxoxoxoxo

Lol I've been waiting for someone to post! Tara glad the birthday party went well...my kids are fond of parties too and I think I'm going to get mikayla a bounce house for our yard and have a party at home this year..ill have to see how much notice they would need cuz I would be pretty upset if we ended up getting bad weather and then I'm having a party in my house lol. Afm (as for mike haha) he is not behaving..he hasn't been going out but he's just been a jerk and I don't even wanna post about our latest fight because I don't even wanna look anymore stupid for dealing with his treatment towards me. I've been trying to focus most of my energy into getting back into school. I was going to go for nursing but didn't get into this one school because they are on provisional status but I'm really glad I didn't because I always told myself that I wouldn't be a nurse. Now I'm off the medical thing all together...I was always so stuck on it but really I just like helping people and I think going to school for a criminal justice/sociology dual major would open a lot of better opportunities.
As for baby..he's always moving. Since that's my favorite part, I'm loving it..sometimes recently tho it has been uncomfortable tho. It won't be long until he's here..I'm excited to see what he looks like. I'm def still getting my tubes tied though. 3 will be enough for me..if I want more babies in the future I will just wait for grand babies

Hope everyone is doing well!! Update soon

Tara I think u had to have od late!!
In still holding out hope for u xx

Nikki I don't think your stupid but I do wish he would smarten up
Always here to listen and not judge! Xx

Question girls how long maternity leave do you get where u live?

 

[MommyNikki]

I've managed to get unemployment during all 3 pregnancies so I usually ride that out until I'm ready to work again.,I think the norm here is 6-8 weeks for normal and anywhere from 8-12 weeks for c section...I guess it would depend on your doctors orders and how accommodating of a job u had. I'm pretty sure jobs have a mandatory time frame where they cannot let u go but I don't know if that is regulated just by government or by company as well
