Cycle 1 day 1. Who's with me? *update* It's a girl! Congrats baby_bray!!!

[Twinkie210]

I would like to make it to my c-section date, because I worked out my time off and it lines up perfectly with Thanksgiving but at least it looks like I will make it through the next 2.5 hrs. I didn't want my little guy to share a birthday with his cousin, whose 1st birthday is today.

So I guess I am giving him free reign after midnight, but would appreciate him making it until at least next Thursday, LOL.

I am with mighty but thin today or tomorrow. Liam is on his way!

 

[Twinkie210]

LOL, well I made it all night without contractions, so we shall see I am supposed to work today and tomorrow, then start my short term disability. My SIL says he will be born today because we have a pattern going in DH's family. All the cousin's birthday "day" numbers line up in order according to age:

Niece #1- 16th
DS- 17th
Niece #2- 18th
Niece #3- 19th

So according to the pattern Liam should be born today, but he is kind of a rebel, so he will probably break the pattern LOL.

My very first contractions started the day after I lost my plug! It was 24 hrs later that I I finally realized what that now and then pain was lol! I think your son is on his way soon Twinkie!!

 

[Twinkie210]

LOL, I have had "period" type cramps in the middle of the night off and on for the past week or so. I chalked it up to little guy squishing my intestines and causing some constipation, but I am pretty sure they were contractions now, since that is the only time I remember feeling anything that felt strong enough to cause dilation. So even in second pregnancies you may not recognize the signs My Dr. probably thought I was crazy when I told him I hadn't really had any contractions, LOL

 

[moter98]

Lol! Hey that's what I had after lost the plug. It was just mild continuous AF type cramps. Didn't think much of it. Then the next day I also had this weird sharp pain, much like trapped gas. That was the contraction lol! I was in denial. I bet those AF type cramps have been working on dilation all week for you. Have you called your dr?

Nope, my instructions are just to go to Labor and Delivery if I have regular contractions. And so far, I haven't had any regular contractions. Just the random braxton hicks and they always go away. I am playing the waiting game right now and it seems little guy is nice and snug in his home and has no intentions of coming out today LOL Oh and I haven't had any of the "period" type cramps since earlier this week

 

[moter98]

Oh, I see. Seems your boy is playing tricks on you, lol!

 

[Twinkie210]

Yup, we call him trouble maker, and he has lived up to his nickname so far!

 

[moter98]

means he's giving you all the trouble now and he will be a really good baby.

great news! i just looked online at my health insurance claims. turns out my only er bill is for like $47 thus far! there was a $900 bill i got charged nothing for. the er dr fee of $525 is still pending. i hope i don't have to pay anything on that either. looks like my insurance covers more than i thought. it does cover prenatal care, but i never dreamed it would cover an ER visit. hoping the rest of the bills from that day are covered. should just be the scan and the dr fee i'm waiting on yet.

I hope so LOL, but DS was an easy pregnancy and and easy going baby... I think I might be in trouble this time around!

Wow that is good! Each of my trips to labor and delivery for monitoring cost over $100. I think total I owe about $270 for those two trips. That isn't counting the ultrasound for the biophysical profile, but I think that was cheaper than the ultrasound at my Dr. office! We have a max out of pocket of $1000 per person or $2000 family. So with all of my "coinsurance" I have paid so far, I should just owe a little over $600 for the delivery, unless little guy needs special care, then I could owe up to another $1000.

We have an $8000 deductible then 80/20 up to $9000. I fully expected to pay a least $2000 for that visit.
The delivery will probably cost us at least $8000. Unless they cover that too. Hmmmm, gonna have to do some checking.

I checked. Labor and delivery applies to deductible. That's ok with me though. Happy to not have to pay 100% for the ER bill. Maybe I won't have to pay for the extra scans I've needed and will need either. That would be great!

Hi all. Busy day. Just got everything cleaned. Killed myself trying to make the house beautiful a and Dhs sister says they aren't coming they are gonna drive in for shower and leave right after. Dh is sad. I don't know why they don't like me. Makes me really angry. I have always gone out of my way for them. I give up. I am to the point of telling dh We aren't going to see them anymore. He wants to share his life with them. He is so proud of his family and the farm we have built and they have never been here. His sister drives to visit their dad who lives 30 minutes away and still won't come to our home for a visit. We always get... Next time I will come and just stay with y'all. Yeah right. This is the fifth time I have gotten my home ready for them and they cancel the day before. Chaps my ass.

 

[Twinkie210]

That sucks! My MIL is the same way. Comes to visit my SIL and never visits my house ever! Pisses me off!

 

[moter98]

How rude! Who does that? There is something seriously wrong with those people. They are acting like 12 year olds.
