Due May 26th, I want a buddy :)

[MrsGreen]

I am pregnant with baby girl no. 2 and due May 26th. Ill start off by saying I have a lot of issues during pregnancy, I had to be hospitalized with my first daughter at 29 weeks with preterm labor and even though they couldn't completely stop them, I made it to 40+5 in the end. My labor was spontaneous and very fast. 6 hours and 10 minutes of pushing in total. I am measuring smaller this time than with my first, she constantly measured almost 3 weeks ahead. This little girl is spot on so far but I feel small. Im 31 Weeks today and here is my bump...

This pregnancy I have constant contractions just like before, but so far no cervical change yet. I am feeling a lot more new my pubic bone and cervical area so Ill be sure to see on friday at my next appt. As a precaution, my doctor had me get 2 of the steroid shots to mature her lungs just in case as well.

We have already talked about possible induction since I labored so quickly last time and with a toddler, I just dont want to be juggling her and trying to find someone to take me if hubs it at work. (He works 45 mins from home and we live 1 hour from the hospital) She knows I want to avoid pitocin as I like to labor in the shower and I dont do the epidural.

Well, there is my little blurb. Anyone want to join me??

We have alreadty

[besty]

I'm due 26th may with a yellow bump! I currently have a 13 month old daughter. Everyone keeps telling me I'm small This time but comparing blp
Photos I'm actually almost the same size as last time

 

[MrsAmk]

Me! We have very similar stories! I am also due May 26th with baby boy #2. My first was born still on 3/30/13, coming up on one year Anyway, I had much of the same type of pregnancy with him, lots of preterm contractions, he dropped early, bedrest to only make iti to 37 weeks exactly. This time, I am having much of the same with so many Braxton Hicks, pressure with him being low, etc. As of last week, I was not dilated either but wish I would have been offered shots to mature his lungs in case I don't make it many more weeks. Would love to stay in contact and walk out these (HOPEFULLY) last 9 weeks! PM if you'd like

 

[MrsAmk]

Here is my bump today. I carry so low, yours actually looks much higher than mine!

 

[MrsGreen]

Thanks for all the responses!!!

I have a very short torso, so even last time when baby was super low, you couldnt tell cause there was no where else for her to go lol

MrsAmk, Im so sorry for the loss of the your baby, that breaks my heart
I would be happy to keep in touch so we can stick out this hopefully 9 weeks, Ill settle for at least 6 weeks though, but no more than 10!!! haha

Becky81 - Congrats!! Maybe we will all share a birth day!!! There is bound to a couple that go together lol

Betsy- I was comparing my shots with my first to this one too and the difference I am noticing is that my bump is lower. Before I had feet in my ribs and now I really dont feel any parts above my belly button even at this far along. My first was 7lbs 8oz and 19" long and her head was 14" around. I hoping this time for a smaller head at least lol

Quail - Maybe Ill get lucky and have one a little lighter too

We should all keep this thread going so we can all chat

 

[MrsGreen]

Quail... You're a mrs.green too!! lol thats too funny. Whats your first name??

 

[quail]

First name is kirsty,how about you.well ive jumped on the scales today and seem to have lost all 12 lbs that i put on so far and im back to the weight ivwas in the beginning,though im a tad overweight to begin with so not too worried.x

 

[MrsGreen]

Its Sara. Ive gained about 21lbs so far... But baby is measuring smaller than first baby so my fingers are crossed.

 

[MrsAmk]

I am having such a hard time gaining weight, and I really need to!!

 

[MrsGreen]

I had hardly gained anything until last month. Dont worry, How much have you gained?

 

[MrsAmk]

Hi Ladies!! I'm due the 26th as well with a little girl. My bump is pretty huge but I'm not tiny so go figure lol. When are your next appointment ' s? Mine is April 3rd.

 

[RebeccaM.]

It's funny to see all of our signature tickers are the same ♡

 

[MrsGreen]

My next appt. is friday the 28th I liked seeing the tickers too, Its neat to have them all be either on the same day or a day or two between.

MrsAmk, A friend of mine only gained I think 17 lbs the whole time she was pregnant, so dont fret, there is still between 6 and 10 weeks to go As long as baby is doing good, everything is fine

I know, but I worry about not producing enough milk or being able to breastfeed exclusively. I know I am too skinny, it's like baby is taking everything from me (which I am glad he is), and I am losing weight because I have been the same weight for a month or more. I eat calorie dense food, I just have no appetite! I eat and feel full for so long after. I still am eating even though I am uncomfortable, not to mention on the other end Just gotta keep telling myself that this too shall pass. My next appt. is April 2nd.

Hi ladies,

Can I join

I'm due our second daughter on the 24th May.
I have a pretty big bump due to having polyhydramnois, I was diagnosed with this last week. I've gained 8lbs (3.8kg) so far, by 40 weeks with our first daughter I gained 2 stone exact (13kg).
Last week little miss was measuring a week ahead and weighed approx 1.7kg.

I've had a few complications with this pregnancy, I had a bleed at 6 weeks and got diagnosed with SCH (subchoronic hematoma) I was on rest til 13 weeks and it resolved itself by 9 weeks. I've also got a pelvic condition, degeneration of my pubic synthesis so I am in a lot of pain constantly, been given a walking frame, crutches and nothing else can be done for now but strong pain killers and rest. But with a toddler ... Ye right lol. And now the polyhydramnois which comes with risks of preterm labour, cord prolapse and placenta abruption, I have another scan on te 17th April to check my fluid levels and if still high I've been told I'll be admitted to hospital on bed rest.

My next appointment is 1st April and I am seeing 'the big boss obstetrician' who is going to tell me which delivery type she feels is best with my pelvis the way it is and when. I've been told by my obstetrician they'll likely take me in at 38 weeks for an elective c-section ... I'm petrified of a section if I'm honest

I've been having dull, achy period like cramps for 48 hours now with BH coming and going throughout the day.

Sorry for the essay xx

 

[MrsAmk]

Welcome Missy! Sounds like we are all having some sore of issues, glad we found each other. We can encourage eachother for the remainder of our pregnancies and I pray we ALL have uncomplicated labor and deliveries in a couple months I am scared of a C section too, although at this point I really don't care what it takes to get my son into this world alive and well.

 

[jenmcn1]

I'm not due until June but having my planned csection on May 30th. Can I join you in the waiting game?
