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

Berdc - That sucks about your job... I hope thing settle down and you can find something soon.

Mail - Sucks to here about how much discomfort you've been in, hopefully it won't be too much longer.

Twinkie - Inlaws suck... nuff said.

AFM - My dog likes to eat ice cubes... it's her new favorite treat. As soon as we take one out of the freezer, she is in ice-y heaven.
As far as baby making goes, I'm not really sure... Since apparently my dog likes to eat thermometers too, I have no idea what dpo I am or what my cycle is doing... so I'm just kinda letting things be. To be honest, I haven't even really been paying all that much attention... I've been so busy between work/xmas shopping and wrapping/crocheting xmas gifts and working on a new hobby project with DH, I haven't really paid any attention to symptoms.

So I dunno? If I were to say how I feel about it right now, I would say I don't feel like this is it this month... but ya'll know how quickly those thoughts can change. I guess I'll find out Christmas Eve!

Wow October! Is that with pay from your employer?

 

[moter98]

Colta, hope this is it for you!

 

[moter98]

Been getting constant bh this week! I counted them yesterday and I had 47! So far only had 3 today. If course they would slow down right when I finally have my dr appt. grrrr

Im self employed so its paid by the government as long as im paying class 2 national insurance which i am so its about 135 a week for 39 weeks, notgood for someone who works full time and on a lot more money then this. But i only work part time so its fine.

 

[mailcmm]

Colta... I can't wait for you to test. I hope this is it.

Tv... Nice on the paid leave. Even though its not a regular salary it's something.

Moter... I feel you.

Afm... Failed my nst today. They were able to wake him up but it gave him the hiccups. Lol I was pushing the button like. Mad woman. The dr that checked the test wanted to check me because I "had several big contractions 4 minutes apart during test" and still not dilating. She said i was long, closed and far back. So depressing. She said they are not Bh and to just be patient. It's impossible to relax.

 

[moter98]

oh mail, i sure hope Finn decides to come soon! i cannot even imagine how hard it must be for you with the constant contractions.
mine were just bh and finally let up last night after i had a horrendous pain of which i think was baby turning in there. i've only had about 10 today.

 

[mailcmm]

I am just scared I will be too late for my epidural. We live 45 min from hospital and I don't know what to look for. And if the inlaws tell me one more time he'll come when he's ready, hopefully in January I may kill them. The thought of one more week of constant contractions is frightening. When I go to l&d on Christmas I will beg them to check me again. I have to go to the hospital on Christmas Day for an nst.

 

[MightyMom]

I really hope it's this Friday. For your sake, it's a lot to take. Will they let you take paracetamol or something? Does it even help? I would live in the bathtub if it were that bad. I really hope that it happens much sooner than January, my God!

 

[mailcmm]

They won't give me anything.said they would induce at 39 weeks though. Still that's 2 weeks away. I hope my water breaks. Been taking lots of showers. Bath is too cold. I usually don't run the cold water at all. Lol so had to give up baths completely.

 

[moter98]

Do Tylenol, drinking loads of water and laying on your left side help?

 

[mailcmm]

No to Tylenol and left side. I find they get worse with position changes too. Today I am gonna bundle upand walk. That really brings them on. Gonna see if maybe something doesn't change. As for fluids. I am drinking over 2 gallons a day because I am super thirsty. So I don't know. Seems like I am hydrated but no matter how much I drink my lips are chapped, mouth is dry. I also have this fear that I am leaking water. Just a silly premonition. But the leaking seems worse but they didn't seem to think that i was.

 

[moter98]

all of that points to them being true contractions, can't understand why they aren't dilating you. not fair! have they done u/s to check your fluid levels

 

[mailcmm]

No. They haven't done anything. Just waiting for Finn to fall out I guess. Lol went walking for an hour and on an offload four wheeler adventure. Now I need a nap. The dr said they were real contractions that they can tell on the monitor. She said that they seem so strong to not be doing anything. Go to l&d on Christmas maybe there will be some change. I am not leaving until they check me.

 

[moter98]

Grrr, ok Finn, hurry up already, your momma needs a break.

I am feeling miserable myself. And all I can think is I have a ways to go an its only gonna get worse. Don't remember feeling like this with #1 until 36 weeks. I almost passed out lunch today! Can't sleep, so many bh and massive round ligament pain. Can't breathe, and and add feeling weak today. Bleh. Oh and restless and aching legs 24/7. Where did all this come from! I felt great just a few weeks ago.

 

[MightyMom]

Maybe it's a holiday thing! I've been feeling off too. Nearly blacking out when I sit up too suddenly, feeling very tired for no reason, massive round ligament pain, it's been very uncomfortable. All I want is to go swimming. For some reason I feel like that would help.

 

[moter98]

I hope you are right mighty, could use a break from all this before it really kicks in for the last month

 

[mailcmm]

I think it's just all we have gone thru. I had 3 miscarriages in 7 months and have been pregnant for nine. I don't think my body can take anymore. Have you been checked for gd yet. I had passing out turned out to be hypoglycemia. Hope you both get some relief soon.

 

[moter98]

I passed my GD test. It was 123. We were out to lunch today and our order took forever to arrive, we waited an hour so I hadn't eaten for about 4 hours. That could have been what did it. Hope it doesn't happen again, was so embarrassing having to leave early.
