Menb... Added you.

Just missing colta.

Moter... It has been going great. We found a lot of potential sites but it's pouring here so we just did drive bys. I have been fighting a cold and dh wouldn't let me get out of car. Lol we still have time on location but wanted to see what's available in the section of town we want.

Drs apt went well. Dr said we are measuring large. 26 inches at 23 weeks.we now have to go for growth scans. Lol I really really don't want a c section but the father we get the more I worry. Otherwise he is doing great. Us next Tuesday. Yay.

Twinkie... Isn't your apt today? If so how did it go?
 
rest up. there's plenty of time to find the perfect location!

hey, better to have a big baby than too small. have you ever had a c-section before?

twinkie, is baby head down or still breech?
 
No I haven't. Both my kids were nutural and although labor was awful delivery was easy. I just didn't dilate at all. The thought of a csection terrifies me I don't do surgery well. The thought of doing it while awake scares the shit out of me. Didnt understand what she meant by he's measuring big because they never tell you what the measurement should be but it should correspond to weeks pregnant. So I should be at 23 not 26. That being said they already moved my due date once so technically I am only 22 weeks. Can't wait to see what the tech says next week. Lol ginormo baby. They also just sent me my chart via email and I have only gained 5 lbs since January. I thought I had gained 10 so far but I was wrong. Not complaining about that because it is obvious Finn is growing by leads and bounds. Lol if this keeps up I will be lower then my pre pregnant weight, lol I am also anemic. They haven't mentioned iron yet. God the thought of constipation. Lol
 
that's what scares me too! i just don't understand why they make you be awake whilst cutting you open. i would much rather be put to sleep and not remember that. i honestly wouldn't mind missing the first hours with baby if i didn't have to be awake for that. freaks me out!! do you think that they could induce you early based on how big baby is so you could have a chance to go natural? lucky you, only 5 lbs?! i'm at 11 1/2 lbs already. it seems i just pack on the lbs during pregnancy. did with ds too. and i don't eat much more than i did before either. about 1700 calories a day. oh well.
if they put you on iron supplements, you can get a script for prenatals with stool softener to offset any constipation.
 
Thanks for the prenatal tip. I will remember that. And I agree with the being put to sleep bit. And I am bottle feeding so I may ask. Let dad do the first feed. Lol I think the real troopers in child birth are the women who get a csection. That's like something out of a horror movie. My sil said she could hear the cutting and juices. Yuck. I am hoping they will just induce early and let me try naturally. Think what I may do is stick with one doctor starting in November. There is one that seems to want to not have me on the books at Christmas. Lol he's also a friend of my bro. I like to move thru all the drs so I know everyone. But may be time to focus on one. Will see what the tech says and go from there. As for weight I am pudgy so this makes me happy. Would hate to be pudgy and gain a ton of weight as well. Lol
 
oh gross. makes me shudder. that's exactly what i wouldn't wanna be hearing lol. i myself would feel more comfortable with a c section as far as baby's health is concerned. from my research, i have a higher risk of full placental abruption going naturally. the contractions and/or pushing could cause it to fully abrupt. which would mean baby would have 7-15 minutes to get out before no hb. and higher chance of brain damage if that happens and they get baby out safely. i suppose i will have to talk to dr about it all. i'm sure they will want me to try natural, but i need to know what their plan is if i fully abrupt and how quickly they could get the baby out. yuck. this whole thing is way too stressful. pregnancy is NOT supposed to be like this!
 
Hey girls! Yes, Dr. appt was this morning. He is still breech, the little trouble maker! I have my c-section scheduled for the 28th at 9am! 10 more days. But I am also 2-3 centimeters dilated, so little guy might decide to make an appearance sooner :) I am not as scared of the c-section as I am of a complicated vaginal birth. DS's head got stuck and wouldn't decend in the birth canal so I had a forcep delivery with him. His heartrate was dropping and I was spiking a fever. He also had the cord around his neck twice. This kind of stuff scares me more than a planned c-section. I guess I can let you know how bad I think it is after the 28th. Oh they did another ultrasound just to confirm his position and they estimated his weight at 8lb 10oz at 37weeks 5days. And the tech said he had a large head :)
 
eeeeee! large baby and large head....i would beg for a c section, lol! how exciting to know when you are having baby, unless of course he decides he wants to come earlier.

wow all exciting soon you will be meeting your baby:happydance:
 
Friended y'all!!

I wonder if they would let you wear headphones during the c-section so you don't have to hear it? I can't imagine remembering all that. Yuck!

mail: My goodness your bubs is growing so fast! That's probably a good thing. Have you asked your doctor at what point the baby would require induction? I.e. how big would the baby have to be for the doctor to want to induce or c-section? Also I'm on prenatals that come with a separate laxitive to keep me from getting constipated. And thank god because I hate extra iron! Never works out well for me!
 
Hey all! Sorry I've been a bit awol... things, as always, are busy busy here.

But yeah, facebook!! lol... Feel free to add me, I'm Carla Cyr, pleased ta meet ya's! :winkwink:

Twinkie - Holy wow! You must be getting so excited.
 
Mighty... They dont really want to say anything one way or another. I asked the dr about my weight and she said baby is sucking me dry. All of a sudden I feel like my old mare who just had a foal at 19yr old. Lol she looks awful and the baby was hell on her. But so far I feel ok so we shall see. Figure at about 32 weeks we will know a lot more. Thats in 8wks so crazy. It's flying by.

Colta... You are added.

Twinkie... I am sure it will be fine. Only 8 days. So exciting.
 
Think I have almost everyone on fb now.

Twinkie-OMG that is almost the size of Olivia now. Today she was 9 5.

Motor you have a scan tomorrow?

Mail that boy is going to be big.

Colta one day closer

Menb how are you and the babies?

Tv and mighty......how are you?
 
7 weeks today! My next scan is Thursday. :) After than I hope I'm cleared until 12 weeks!
 
So much to look forward to.

Mighty I can twit for your scan.

Moter can't believe you are almost 20 weeks.

Tv yes you and deliver will be very close together. So cool. I am out on my own. Lol

I am almost to the 3rd tri. So exciting. Hopefully my big boy isn't trying to break any big records. Lol
 
Yay for 3rd tri mail! Someone told me there was an article about a 16lb baby born in texas! So I don't think your little guy will be breaking any records (or I hope not at least!)

Moter &TV- that is awesome that you are due so close together!

Colta- so when do you think you will O this cycle now that you will be TTC (officially) again? I like to live vicariously through others :)
