@ prayer, glad to know missy is getting closer to home each day. Well done to you too for doing a good job with another child to think about. How is your older one doing? As she seen her sister? Good to know you are healing well to.x!

Big sister is good! She's only seen her sister through picture because its flu season and its against policy

Last week my girls gained 6oz in 5 days. I asked how much they should gain and the nurse said 1/2 to 1 ounce per day. So glad he's doing well!

good to know thanks shelby! how much do the girls eat at each feeding?

Hi mmc - who do you see at Jessops? Are you in the PTL clinic?

Thanks for the responses to my c sections questions, far too early to be thinking about it,but it was on my mind. One of my best friends is getting married 2 weeks before my edd, so I was trying to figure out if I could go (will be 4 hours away) and my new nephew 's christening is 3 weeks after my Edd, so also figuring if I'll feel like sitting in car 7 hours to get there. I like that I'm able to think my baby will be full term, but some days I have no confidence at all.

Anyway all o f that seems irrelevant right now. I Just found out my best friend has cervical cancer. She's still waiting to hear if it's spread and if she'll need a hysterectomy and chemo etc. Crossing all my fingers for her. She doesn't yet have kids,and isn't quite ready,but I think the choice being taken away will hit her hard. I wanted to ask you all for suggestions for what I can do to support her? Distractions,nice things,what to not say....
I'm hoping so hard they leave her uterus and stitch up her cervix, (meaning she might be one of us one day, which is the best I can Hope for ).
Desperate for me to not need bed rest so I can support her through this!

lovely to hear the babies, bumps and stitches are well.

good to know thanks shelby! how much do the girls eat at each feeding?

I'm currently offering 4 ounces at each feeding. Sometimes they leave 1/2 to 1 ounce and sometimes they finish. If they do finish and they still seem hungry, I offer another 2 ounces. They went through a growth spurt earlier in the week, lasted 3 days, and they went from taking 15oz a day to 19-24oz a day. I honestly couldn't tell you how much/how often they ate today since OH had the day off work and did most of the feedings. I have 4 bottles totaling 16oz written down but I think they each actually had 5. Bad Mommy moment.

Glad everyone and their babies are doing so great

Sometimes I read too much about this sort of thing and I make myself sick with fear , I've got my ultrasound next Friday ( a week away) for growth and I guess cervix and fluid check , also have my gd test scheduled, I'm measuring 2+ weeks ahead and I'm so paranoid it's too much fluid! So read up about this then came into information about how it could be something wrong with baby swallowing and also about pprom and cord prolapse , this will be my last baby the worry this time around is sending me crazy

 

[Agiboma]

@wunderful stay away from google it does no good, perhapes baby is just a big baby so try not to worry much about it

 

[baby_maybe]

Hey Wunderful I've got polyhydramnios and so far it doesn't seem to be anything other than one of those things. No sign of pprom and my consultant said that there is more chance of having a bizarre accident in the home than cord prolapse occurring. Hope that puts your mind at rest a little. I've measured 2-3 weeks ahead all the way through too.

 

[ShelbyLC]

This is completely off topic, but...It's 7AM and Britton has been asleep since around 11 last night!

 

[DAYDAY24]

Ladies I have been feeling like pulling pains in cervix dont know if its because I babies kicks are stronger or stitch

 

[lch28]

omg shelby thats amazing! Jonathan was up every hour last night i am running on pure adrenaline. oh and iced coffee.

 

[ShelbyLC]

She slept for another 2 hours after I posted that - for a total of a bit more than 9!

I'm sorry Jonathan didn't sleep much It's good you have coffee though - I can't stand the stuff

 

[Tink_0123]

Hello ladies,

Glad to see everyone is doing well!! Welcome to the new ladies!

Prayer, glad Missy is doing so well overall. Congrats on the pumping, thats an awesome amount you're able to express.. It'll do Missy loads of good! Hope you're recovering well also hun! As always you and Missy are in my thoughts.

Shelby, glad T & B are doing so well. They're beyond adorable!

Ich, How are you feeling?? glad Jonathan is doing wonderfully hopefully he'll start developing a sleep schedule soon so you can get some shut eye too

Lizzie, how are you doing?

Baby, yay for stitch removal! Hopefully your prince won't keep you waiting for long hehe..

Abi, Congrats on reaching 32 weeks!! Getting closer and closer to term.

Day, I don't have an answer or any advice as far as the discomfort you're feeling hun, but I hope you feel better. Keep drinking tons of water and rest as much as you can.

Wunderful, try to stay off google as most of the stories on there are fairly negative and rather than give u peace of mind they stress you out more. You've done super well getting as far as you have and will reach much further, just remain positive through this journey.

Chocolate, hope everything's well on your end. Sorry to hear about your friend, will keep her in my thoughts.

Sweet, glad your suture went well, hope you have a quick recovery!

Hope everyone else is doing great!!

AFM, yesterday I had my ob appt, everything is well only gained 2 pounds in two weeks. Bump is measuring 34 cm, next appt will be at 33+5, they will do the swab for GBS then, hoping its negative. Also, they scheduled my next growth scan for next Weds, Feb 13th, really hoping she will be in a good position to do a 3d scan. Will have CL checked as well, not looking forward to that tho lol.
My countdown continues till 36 weeks when ill be off bed rest, although Im looking forward to making it beyond 37 weeks. There are SOOOO many things I've been wanting to do all this time and want to them all when im off bed rest, just don't want to over do it.

Sorry for the long post ladies, hope you get all the way down here without getting bored lol..

 

[Agiboma]

@ tink i just noticed our due dates are only 2 days apart lol. I got my csection scheduled for the next 6 weeks and kinda scared not sure why, with M i was not afraid because everything happened so fast. But this time as its planned its different.
@day i am not sure about that pain so i dont know what to say, maybe some of the other ladies have expereinced this

 

[baby_maybe]

Thanks Tink, no sign of him yet! lol

Day - I used to get shooting pains every now and then in my cervix area, when I asked the consultant he said it was probably just the stitch pulling a bit. If you are worried please phone your ob

 

[wunderful78]

Day I've had them a bit also , they only last a second or two but can be quite painful

 

[DAYDAY24]

Yes only have once in a while too

 

[TLM21]

congratulations to those who have their precious babies, to those that are far along in their journey, and to those hanging in, counting the days (that's me).
day- I had the very same feeling by 20 weeks, still have them. the Dr again did not seemed alarmed when I asked him. I just try to rest and drink plenty of water.those pain/pulls or even pinch sensations go away by themselves, that's what I have experience... sorry don't have an answer as they occur
