well all preregistered at the hospital can't believe how close

Congratulations on V-day Daisy!

I get lazy days too, where he only squirms a little and mostly just moves around, and then he gets his "wild" days where my bump is jumping left and right every few minutes. I'm guessing that's normal, mommylov.

We also settled on a name! Constantine is a quite common but fairly elegant name in our mother tongue when not shortened (I'm already prepared to start shooting down nicknames, lol) and a family name on my husband's side, so we decided to go with it. We'd been leaning towards it from the start, but now everyone knows officially in the family and we had no objections, so I'm guessing it's settled! Even though I'd been calling him that in my head for quite some time now....

Good luck with your glucose test results Brandi! Was it the 1-hour one?

 

[BrandiCanucks]

Yeah, just the one hour. I should know the results by Friday

 

[mrswichman]

Lazy days happen here as well...
I have a desk job so I am sitting most the day, so babe kicks like crazy and I feel every bit of it...which eases me. We have not preregistered yet...paperwork is sitting there, I don't know why I am procrastinating on it...well guess I'm not really since I still have least 13 weeks. Glucose 1 hr is tomorrow...fun

Loved reading through everyone's posts. Haven't checked in awhile but it's just so awesome seeing how close we all are!! My due date is now officially Feb 1st instead of Feb 4th, so just 11 and a half weeks, eeeek. Cannot wait!!!

 

[DaisyDreamer]

jessthemess when you put in terms of weeks.... It just seems like a flash! Even 17 weeks for me (which will probably be more like 15) seems like next Tuesday. Wow. Pretty soon our little bundles will be ready for the outside world

Hey All.
Got told at 12 wks that I had low hormone in my placenta so baby may need to be delivered at 28wks to help her out depending on her growth.. had 28 week scan today and she is growing perfectly so pleased she can stay where she is for longer. Hope you are all doing well x

 

[Jaxvipe]

So glad baby can stay in longer!

I'm having one of those days where I'm just soooooo tired. I've been having Braxton hicks like crazy and he is so low it's the most uncomfortable thing ever. I had Braxton hicks like this with my daughther so for me it's normal just uncomfortable.

 

[mrswichman]

Got through 1hr glucose drink Heard babes heartbeat...Dr. said was high 140's low 150's...Ultrasound to hopefully determine sex and get good picture of the heart on 12/10 so just another 4 weeks.

We got our travel system today So excited to be knocking things off the list.

I know how you feel. I usually have 1-4 Braxton Hicks per day. They're not painful, but they usually take my breath away for a minute.

 

[lozzy21]

Hi girls, not been on in ages. Between children and work I'm shattered.

I'm officially due the 26th of February so can that be changed on the first post please?

Need to make sure I stop by more often.

 

[mommylov]

I still don't know how to tell if I have a Braxton hicks contraction.

 

[DaisyDreamer]

I still don't know how to tell if I have a Braxton hicks contraction.

To me, it is a painless tightening in the stomach. It might feel like baby is curling up somewhere but if you press on your uterus with your fingertips you can tell that it is hard all around. The shape of your belly might change too depending on how big you are and how much you're showing....

It's a strange feeling, just like a tense spot in your belly xxx They usually are painless but can hurt if you have RLS or baby is lying extra low or high

 

[AmaryllisRed]

For me it feels like someone is tightening a belt around my waist.

 

[mrswichman]

Does anyone else hurt down in their lady bits...I sit at a desk for work...and When I get up to do anything I hurt...standing...walking...hurts laying down. Anything I can do to help relieve this?? at work especially??

 

[mrswichman]

I am feeling unprepared for the baby...even though I have 13 weeks to go....
What do you have??

 

[Jaxvipe]

I hurt constantly down there, my doctor just said its bc this is my 2nd pregnancy and my ligaments are already stretched. She suggested a v strap which is like a female jock strap, it's just supports everything.

My Braxton hicks just feel like my whole belly is tight and uncomfortable. Sometimes they are painful when baby is in a weird position.

 

[BrandiCanucks]

My back hurts around my hits if I go from sitting to standing, or laying to standing, but nothing much else than that.

I have almost everything and I still feel unprepared. I really only need to get a pack and play, safety gate and breast milk storage bags but I still feel like I'm missing something.

 

[mommylov]

oh ok that makes sense... I think I have had some of those then too!

 

[AmaryllisRed]

I have... A co-sleeper, a car seat with stroller, tub, boppy and covers, and lots of clothes since we found out baby is a girl and I kept a lot of my daughter's stuff, though I'm not sure of the sizes.
I need... Diapers, more clothes of course, wash cloths, burp rags, a bouncy seat, bedding, nursing tanks... I'm sure I'm forgetting things!
