I think mail has passed the hemorroid torch on to me! I've had them since 20 weeks and been able to control them with colace, flaxseed and cryotherapy. I am not at all constipated so must be weight of the baby causing it. I now have a grape sized hemorroid that is so painful, even just laying here it hurts! And I have 6 weeks to go plus labor making them worse. oh, please heal, please heal!!!!

 

[menb]

Oh no, Moter! Hoping it gets better soon...I have no experience with that, but it doesn't sound pleasant.

How are your bums, TV, Bray n Mighty? Yikes!!

I didn't realize all of the pains get worse after your first, so was quite a surprise for me lol

 

[Twinkie210]

I think it all depends on how the baby is laying. I had terrible pains with DS #1, but I think he was head down very early and caused lots of pressure (and gave me hemroids too!) but little guy's pregnancy was not bad. I think it was because he was breech. I felt like I was going to explode, LOL, but all the pain was in my ribs and just from the size of my belly, not in my pelvis like my first. It is weird how different pregnancies can be!

Moter, I hope your problem clears up soon!

Menb- the babies are adorable!!! I love all of their pictures! (somehow I missed their halloween pics, I love the mickey and minnie costumes!) They are getting so big.

 

[moter98]

Thanks Twinkie! Me too. I've put a note in to dr to see I they've got some stronger med to help. I'm so close to delivery, just gotta make it a few more weeks!
I have only had one episode of baby in the ribs and I did not like it at all. Can imagine having baby set up camp there all the time.

Just had to share this: ds is feeding me his fruit snacks right now and telling me to drink from his straw cup! He's so funny

 

[moter98]

My little friend has now become thrombosed lol! It looks so gross. Wow, that happened fast. I've called dr to see what they want to do, hoping they've got some miracle shrinking med for me. I do not want to do what mail had to do! Sounds wayyyyy too painful.

 

[Twinkie210]

Aww he is taking care of him Mommy and baby brother! I miss that toddler age! Now mine is a mouthy 9 year old But he still has his moments

 

[baby_bray]

Nothing to report on "my end" (couldn't help it) when it comes to hemorrhoids. They put me on just 1 iron pill when they found out I was borderline anemic and they gave me Colace and I've been taking it about every other day hoping to avoid constipation!

Th right side of my rib cage keeps getting a knocking! It's like she's trying to play my ribs like a xylophone! I can be fine almost all day and then out of the blue she'll just have a 30min jam session! She is certainly very rolly-polly!
I have a really hard time idetifying body parts, I have no idea how she's positioned. But I think she spends most of the day breech and towards the evening flips around to dance.
Also gonna report she's had hiccups at least once a day for the last week or so! Thinking about it, because she's got them right now haha. The other day she had them at least 3 times!!

 

[Twinkie210]

I had a hard time identifying parts too. I could only tell he was breech because I could feel his head wedged up by my ribs and it was uncomfortable, other than that it was hard to tell punches from kicks, LOL. Little guy was quite the squirmy worm and still is! And he had the hiccups constantly (like 5-7 times a day!) and he still gets them alot, LOL. They say it is a good sign, that baby is practicing breathing

Im the same i believe its head down and think its feet on the left and bum in middle id love to be able to know like mw know. Im going to ask my mw how she knows lol, years of prodding i suppose. Im also on 3 tablets a day for low iron it was only slightly below not sure i feel any different for being on them???

 

[baby_bray]

Yeah I can't say I really feel any different on the iron pills....my MW kept asking me if I was fatigued or anything and I have been pretty energetic with and without the supplements. My MW said it was up to me, I could take 1 or 2 pills a day.
Sounds gross, but the biggest change was my stools are a lot darker. I guess dark hard stools are pretty much the norm on iron and I think since I was given both iron and Colace at the same time I been lucky enough to avoid any constipation issues!

I know i couldnt believe how dark they were,i had iron tablets with ds but dont remember being on them. Ive been lucky enough not to have been constipated all through pregnancy.

Hi all! Sorry I haven't posted here but the hospital Internet was awful. Fb is much easier with my phone.

Moter... I feel so bad for you as I know first hand what you are going thru. When all was said and done dr told me 2 things. 1... Finn was breech and his head was pushing on my main arteries, hence all the pressure. 2... He never would have turned even thoughit looked like he could go either way, labor would have made situation much worse. Mine literally popped up over night. Surgeon said that I was not constipated nor was there a blockage other then 3 very angry large hemorrhoids. Now I am glad they are gone. Still hurts but getting better. Still need to go potty but letting it happen when it does. Hoping by Friday which also gives me one week to heal. They can give you suppositories, They don't help. Hot water helps lots. Hopefully they will go away.

Afm... Finn is fabulous. Dh has been amazing. I am really tired but mainly because I feel yucky. First night was horrific just like last Friday. Nurses felt horrible. Do think they are used to that. They got me a high dose of morphine. They all looked so relieved when I hadn't died over night and felt a tad better. By Sunday I was doing much better but pain still high so they kept me til Monday. Csection wasn't so bad. Hoping to feel 80% by Friday. Nurses said I was such a trooper. Started walking Saturday am and took a shower everyday. Just felt so bad because I was so miserably sore.

Hang in there girls not long now. So exciting!!!!

Also dh wants to start to try to have another in a year. I was blown away. I really thought even if I wanted to that he was done. I said we would talk about it then but right now I want to concentrate on Finn.

Glad to hear you are doing better. Finn is just perfect. Maybe we will be ttc again at the same time.

His face in the first pic!!!! I just want to scoop him up and comfort him! It just looks like the most precious, pitiful, lip quivering type cry~! I love it

So happy to hear everything is going better. What a lucky boy Finn is...Just thinking about all the things you went through. Our bodies are so amazing...

Wow! Can't believe your hubby was so quick to say he'd like another, that's wild! I totally don't blame you on wanting some time to enjoy the moment though...Finn just got here, lol!

Congratulations to you, the hubby and all 3 of your kids now! How crazy is it thinking you've got *3* now?
