February Valentines 2012 - We have our first Valentines!

[JohnsPrincess]

lol, that is funny!! Be like the Dr walked in while I was undressing, so I felt like a ...?
Adelina does not move that much... she likes to move when people aren't touching her, so if I lay in a bed she moves against the bed, but if DH touches my belly she doesn't move!!

Sebastian does the SAME thing! Brat! He'll be kicking up a storm and then if I put my hand there or Dh does...he stops. LOL

holly used to be like that ! and jonno would be like 'shes stopped, i have things to do...'' . like hell u do ! u will sit here with your hand on my belly until she kicks !

 

[TeQuiero]

She will move when I am laying on him, like if he is holding me, but for it to be a hand she stops!! He thinks it is funny though, so I can't complain.

 

[becstar]

Ugh ladies, you guys having to worry about health insurance and crap maternity leave makes me glad to live in the UK. I am sure there are loads of great things about living in the states but those two things make me glad not to be there. My step-mum is American and hates the NHS and says it is a socialist tool or some crap like that, but I know my dad (when he moved out there) had to pay $40,000 in a year on surgery and drugs, which would have been free here. It's tough, eh? Hugs.

In other news, I have been trying to do relaxation exercises from my hypnoborth class, but husband is being rubbish at helping me and when I try to do them in bed his BLOODY AWFUL SNORING is stopping me from even hearing the bloody words!!! I want to strangle him, it is so frustrating. How this baby will ever sleep with what sounds like an elephant with a bunged up nose snoring away is beyond me.

[mumanddad]

I hope so because other wise i have to stay in x

 

[swanxxsong]

FX for you Mum!!

I'm so tired. And I need to do a proper catch up but my brain is not working right now.

TGIF!!!

 

[swanxxsong]

I feel like Aria moves nonstop haha. Especially when I'm trying to sleep. She's a drama queen though - she was quiet the other night and the second I scolded the dog she jumped and began kicking up a storm. I was like, "This is way too early to begin tantrums kiddo..." hubby says we are in for a diva. XD

 

[KjConard]

Becstar, how are you liking hte hypnobirthing classes? We don't have any classes that are offered in our area, so I ordered the book last week and started learning the method and techniques on my own. I'm excited and hope I stay relax while giving birth!

Is anyone else having awful back pain? I hardly get a good nights sleep at night since I am constantly up shifting sleeping positions! It is always worse at night and then once I'm up and moving during the day it subsides a little. It is really starting to get annoying!

 

[AmaryllisRed]

My hips hurt when I sleep! I lie on one side until my hip hurts so bad I can't stand it anymore, then I switch to the other side... by 4 am, they're both so sore I almost want to give up and get up for the day. This isn't every night, but it sure was last night.

I think Crumb is a dramatic one, too. S/he wouldn't let me see his/her face at my scan yesterday-- just waved over the shoulder. Argh. And every time I yell at the dog, s/he kicks up a fit, too. Isn't that funny?

We have medicaid as well. Before I was pregnant with #1, we had no insurance. And I was okay with it, but I have asthma and I was not controlling it very well with otc meds. I do remember that going to the dr a couple times (for UTIs if anyone's curious) wasn't that expensive because of the discounts they give for out-of-pocket uninsured.
If it would make a difference, I would totally tell DH to cut back an hour. You can always check back, too, because the limits change often depending on funding.
I wonder how the new health care reform will affect you, Guppy... the thing is, the people who are hurting the most right now are families like yours who make too much to get gov't help but not enough to be able to afford crazy insurance costs. I know it must be difficult.

 

[Guppy051708]

yeah, DH and i are praying through and through that the health care reform will effect us positively. We are .that low middle income class. I think it would be easier if we made a little less just to help with insurance. If we made a lot more than it wouldn't be an issue....this is the part of govt funding that has large gaps, and i really hope we can get relief of it...im not gonna lie (and i dont want to start a war ) but this is exactly why i voted for Obama. Ive been without health insurance, ive been on medicaid (when we qualified), and ive paid privatly. Ive seen it all, been through it all, and I had high hopes for Obama...i really hope everything comes through, but at this point maybe i should have been concerned with who is sitting in congress, because ultimatly the choice is more up to them than Obama.

New Hampshire state childrens health care is so screwy....the income guidelines change depending on the age of the child So Elliot would qualify, but Isaiah wouldn't. There is a program we can pay $54 a month so Isaiah can be covered though. But once Elliot turns 1, then he would no longer qualify and we would have to pay the $54 per month on him as well...

My DH has not felt Izzy kick either but DS has!! He was so excited it was really cute.

I feel so fat and out of sorts. Just bummy all the way around. Well 17 more weeks then I will have more important things to worry about.

 

[Junebugs]

I have a question for you ladies.... is there any REAL SERIOUS dangers to your little one if you find yourself sleeping on your back? Or is it just because of the lack of oxygen you are getting therefore you baby is getting a lack of oxygen?.... I woke up last night on my back, when i flipped over onto my side the baby started kicking like crazy and i realized my body felt a little numb...

Can you do any serious damage from being on your back for to long?? I figured you body would wake you up before it does.

 

[Guppy051708]

Nope, JuneBugs Actually the medical community has taken the "dont lie on your back rule" and ran with it, however, the ONLY time it is harmful is if you are feeling lightheaded, or you can't breath, or you just dont feel right. Some ladies can lay on their backs throughout pregnancy and feel completly fine YOU will feel the effects BEFORE your baby will. so if you wake up in the night on your back, dont beat yourself up over it or worry about it! Your body will let you know if it needs to move. Everything is fine, but as i said, if you start feeling odd, then change positions if not, all is fine
