I am super glad that you are doing great ladies!

I just came back from the dentist and she told me I have gingivitis. I have never had it in my life and it's pregnancy related, the hormones thickens saliva and more bacteria get trapped in. She suggested to do a profesional teeth cleaning now and before the birth. I did. My teeth feels so wondeful. Also she w/o x-rays can see 3 cavaties but she is only 60% sure we'll wait till the birth to look at those closer. The bad news is that she suggests to pull out my 2 wisdom teeth cos they have cavaties and it's really hard to fix them. This is insane, I have to pull my teeth, when they don't cause me discomfort.
My dr. told me to clean my teeth everytime I eat 2 min after. I have to floss 2 a day, listerine is a pregnancy safe liquid.
Another tip she gave me, don't lay down on your back after 7 months of pregnancy. If you go to a dentist you have to tell them to incline the seat.
Ladies watch for your teeth and take care of them very well!

I've been lacking on going to the dentist I should really go now that you mention this

Cute video! Love it! I have a zebra purse too!
The sound cuts off in the end.

Sorry for your failed glucoes test. I don't want to do it. I don't eat sugar and I won't drink this sweet drink.
I'll prick my finger and test my morning blood sugar and 2 hour after eating and that way I can fingure out if I am at risk.

We went to our local hospital for a birth info. I found only couple negative thing about this clinic.
1. You can't get to know your midwife ahead of time, so you don't know who will be with you at birth. In U.S. the same midwife does the prenatals check ups and assists with a birth.
Another sad thing is that all midwives are booked till December, but a good news is that this wonderful midwife we talked to gave us her tel. nr and she would stop by if we need her.

It is a small hospital, they have 2 birthing rooms and 8 other rooms. This town has 50.000 people. They do 5-10% unplanned c-sections, there goal is to go far as you can to birth naturally.
2. The midwife I talked to doesn't recommend staph testing at 36 weeks, cos at birth you may not be positive any more and you take anitbiotics for nothing. Midwive will come to our house and check on possible baby's infection.
3. Baby never leaves the parents after the birth.
4. After the birth my husband will cut baby's umbilical cord and the baby stays on my chest for 1-2 hours and than, later, he gets his exam.
5. Baby will get his vitK shot to prevent bleeding in his brain, cos extreme pressure from the birth may develope some bleeding in the brain.
6. Hip exam after the birth will be done to rule out hip dysplasia, my cousin has a baby with this problem and dr. didn't diagnose, my cousin noticed this condition.
7. Family room may be available if we are lucky. You can't book it ahead of time. It is a beautiful suite with a queen size bed and baby crib.
If a family or a single room is not available, if the midwife is nice she may let my hubby sleep on the coach in the visiting room.
8. Water birth! They have a tub! I am excited about that one! They have water proof heart monitors and yes! they have cordless monitors, you can move around as much as you want.
9. Laughing gass is the most popular here in this hospital. It relaxes you, help right away and goes out of your system right away. So you won't be flying when the baby is in your arms! I have never used it. I am bit worried but we'll see. Also O2 and aromatherapy and acupuncture could be used for pain management.
10. This clinic will not apply antibiotics on the baby's eyes, cos it can really irritate them and he can't see mommy clearly.
11. Midwife will do all the birth, dr. will come in if there is a problem

Now my plan is to get an appoinment for a birth preparation classes, I hope I am not too late! Should I make appointment 1-2 months before the birth? I would like to have all info still fresh for the birth.

Another plan is to visit a bigger hospital in Heidelberg. They also have a birth center in the same building. I am interested in that!

Tomorrow we are going to our 21 week u/s. Excited!

You 2+ look adorable in those photos!

I had my mid scan yesterday. U/S took few minutes. We requested the short one.
The baby's head was near my belly botton, my tears went down my chin. I was so emotional to hear this. Dr. couldn't take a photo of the face cos he was laying down towards my back. All the measurements head, belly, hips were dating between 21w1d-21w4days. We saw black spots in the tummy and in the bladder, it means liquid is there, digestive system is developed nicely. His heart was was beating strong and I could see 3 beautiful heart valves. His heart beat was 140bpm. We are staying team yellow. We will not find out the gender. The best suprise of all was the due date. It's not on the 29th of December. It's on the 26th of December on my birthday!!!! This is the best present ever! This is a double one, Christmas and birthday suprise! I am so happy, excited and blessed that little 8w2day(last u/s) peanut grew in a such a big and healthy pomegranate.

Varicose vein on my left leg and overall pain in my legs are the only comlaints I have so far. Dr. prescribed compression stockings. Have you used them, do you know if somebody else wore them.
My mom has varicose veins and so do I. It's genetic, I have week veins, and during pregnancy they showing up. It's not big deal. It's only a cosmetic problem, my varicose vein may dissapear after the delivery, if not there are some options to remove them. The good news is that I do carry lots of genetics from my mom, and I hope I carry her "easy delivery gene" too ( she delivered 3 kids quick and easy, without even pushing, they came out like from the cannon.

Happy 24 weeks twolezzies xx

Dreambbay69, twolezzies, you must be at viability day by now! If the baby is born now, he'll survive.

I was on my back this morning and I felt my fundal height was higher (it measured 23 cm) and my tummy felt harder on the left side. In a minute, he started kicking on that side. It is so wonderful to feel him and to know him better. The baby moves all day long with some minor brakes(naps) in between.
I have talked to my girlfriend. I wanted to share this with you. She was in the hosptal for a couple of weeks before the baby was born. She was hooked up to u/s machines. The nurses wanted to raise the baby's heart rate they gave my friend some citrus oil to smell, in order to decrease the heartrate,she gave her lavender oil. It worked!
I wonder if it would work with a movement, increase and decrease with oil power?
I am taking magnesium citrate for my leg cramps, I feel a bit better

Yay, for growing tummy's and healthy mummies!
I am 22 weeks today!

 

[Dreambaby69]

Dovkav123 congrats on 22 weeks hun. Twolezzies v - day was yesterday and mine is on Wednesday xx. I have never heard about the oil raising heart rate, interesting read x

 

[TwoLezzies]

Thanks ladies! I currently have no doctor sucks but i know this woman doctor im going to start going to toward the 3rd week of September because i have to get a referral that takes two weeks to come in the mail. Im changing my doctor because my doctor was being a total perv he would call me sexy and all kinds of stuff. Tells me to come back later on the day for massages smh vert uncomfortable! And my wife was there and she was going to punch him so it was better to just changed and to a woman doctor as well. I really hope im not missing anything my next appointment with ther perv was on the 2nd and the doctor i see for my referral i see him on the 4th so not a big difference plus i have my vitamins and a doppler and if something happens I'll go to the hospital I am registered at.

 

[dovkav123]

Twolezzies, how is your blood glucose? It's important to manage it early. While you are waiting for an appointment just look online for low glycemic food. Try to introduce them in your diet.
I visit my dr. once a month. In the 3 TRI by the week 32, I'll see him twice a month.
I am sorry about your dr. I am glad you changed to another. That's not enough you should grade him online and make some comments to protect other women.
I think I fel braxton Hicks contraction. My tummy got really hard for a few seconds. Have you felt it?
Hope everybody is doing well.

 

[TwoLezzies]

my last glucose test was fine. Ill take a look.

The day before Yesterday we had a scare and went to L&D cause i was leaking when i got there i was hooked up to the heartbeat and contractions montior. Lady comes back in saying im having contractions and i saw on the montiored i was but i didnt notice them those was everyday cramping pains and the lady said no those are contractions and put meon medicine , meanwhile they tested to see if i was leaking amniotic fluid or pee it was neither so they dont know what im leaking just clear liquidity stufd coming outta my vag hole. They were irritating my life because they kept saying " oh shes tiny, your gonna have a tiny baby" like stfu lady im over here damn near in tears because i didnt want to be put into labor and all you wanna say to me is shes tiny?!!!? She never stayed on the heartbeat montior and i told them she wouldnt every 2 minutes she was kicking at it, i know from past ultrasound and when we listen to her heartbeat she does not like anything pressing on her home shes a very mean baby lol but after all the scares they put me through about being put into labor if i am leaking amniotic fluid and me having contractions and my neighbor screaming and yelling about her vagina and back was hurting i couldnt wait for them to tell everything is looking good we are gonna discharge you after one more test which was being off the medicine and just tracking her heartbeat finally let a 5am been there for a whileeee longgg time I was glad to be home

 

[Dreambaby69]

OMG twolezzies. What an ordeal u have been through. I am glad that u are better. Just put ur feet up and rest. Glad baby is fine x

 

[dovkav123]

I am very sorry you had to go through this. Some healthcare workers do not have any bedside manners. This is so sad. Why they don't shut up, if they don't have anything nice and comforting to say. L&D center is full of drama anyways, why do they need to make more....???
I hope and pray everything will work out well the rest of your pregnancy.
I am very glad your baby girl and you are OK.
