January Babies?

[Jess19]

Lol wish my dr was that optimistic!

I started packing my bag because my doctor was pretty sure I would have to give birth early, but today at the specialist we got great news!

He said he saw no reason at this point why I'd have to give birth early and if she keeps growing at this rate, she may not be underweight by birthing time! We have been hoping and praying and this is even better than what we hoped for! Even the doctor seemed surprised at how much things improved it is a little miracle!

Dh and I have been smiling all day!

 

[L.A Mommy]

I'm due January 25th!! Almost there

 

[Leinzlove]

Jch: Well, you never know baby could come any day!

Littlelotti: Such wonderful news! She's going to keep growing. I'm glad things have improved and you are experiencing a miracle.

LA Mommy: Welcome! Won't be long now! Eeeek so exciting!

AFM: I can't believe how fast this week has went. It's almost time for my Dr. Appt. again. My Dr. has talked about an induction at 39 weeks because I have gestational diabetes. However, unless theres more of a medical reason... I'm going to push for 40 weeks. I can't wait to meet Zoela, but all the better if I can go into labor on my own. Who knows though what the next 5 weeks have in store for me.

I was induced at 39 weeks with DD, because of hypertension. So far so good this time.

I can't believe we're all so close!! My mom had me at 34 weeks (which for me is Tues) and that kinda freaks me out... but apparently she triggered her labour by driving down a bumpy dirt road (I can't believe that's all it took!!). Still... it's making me paranoid and a little concerned that I should have the nursery finished, car seat installed, bags packed (just in case, as we are having a home birth), and clothes/linens washed!! Yikes!!!

This morning my eyes are burning and I have a dull headache...... Might be that I work so early.... Up since 3:45am

 

[Leinzlove]

So, who else is getting super uncomfy. Achy lower belly and back??

 

[YikesBaby]

Jch - Wow!! I thought I had early mornings! I've been attributing my headaches to lack of sleep... man, there aren't enough hours in the day to get ready for the holidays!!!

babylgk - Wish I could day that not eating enough was my problem!! LOL Sorry you're feeling woozy. I get that every now and then and it usually seems to be dehydration.

Leinzlove - Today was the first day I felt like this wasn't fun. My carpal tunnel is making me so crazy I went out and bought a brace for each wrist and I am feeling quite crampy. (Perhaps related to my poor eating habits today... LOL) Now I've got a weird headache. Ugh.

 

[Leinzlove]

Yikesbaby: I hope the braces help with your carpel tunnel. Wear them especially when you go to bed at night.

This is from yesterday... I went to the DR. and the night before I almost thought I needed to go to labor and delivery. And I would have had I not had a DR. appt. the following morning.

Well, my Dr. Appt. went great. Blood Pressure perfect 122/72. No protein or sugar in my urine. I've gained 27lbs this pregnancy which is good. Zoela is low in perfect vertex position. And... Nice strong healthy HB at 138. Bump measuring right on. I had the Group B, so thats over with.

And... I told my Dr. about all the pressure, pressing down feeling, achy lower back, and lower tummy. And about the 8 braxton hicks I had in one hour. And he said it was all normal for how low I'm carrying and my gestation and that he wasn't going to do a cervical check today because he didn't want to irritate my cervix. Say what?? I was so worried about preterm labor, but he says everything looks good and healthy. He said that he would check my cervix next week. He also said he wouldn't be surprised if I was dilated or enfaced some. That it all happens earlier with subsequent pregnancies... And just like we all know it doesn't mean labor will occur sooner or later.

So, that is that. I'm happy all is going to perfection.

 

[YikesBaby]

Great news hun!

 

[Leinzlove]

Yeah, great news... But! I'm going to be miserable uncomfy for weeks.

 

[katy88]

Leinzlove - I've been getting those feelings too, the cramps and feel like baby is pressing right down on cervix... Not sure if they will do an internal but I will find out at my appointment today. Baby feels like he's really wanting to come out in the last little while here.... Hope he can wait a week+ since I don't want him here until AFTER Xmas.... He has been low for a long while as well - I've been able to eat/ breathe normally for weeks now.....

 

[Leinzlove]

Katy: I sure hope he doesn't come late. I wouldn't wish overdue on anyone.

Jch: Happy full term. I've carried low from the get. But, I didn't think I would with this being baby 2. Let me know how you get on at your Appt. These discomforts aren't very lovely, but hopefully they mean things are progressing.

 

[JCh]

Thanks!!!! I was so worried about pre-term labor since things have been so stressful, DH lost his job at the beginning of the month and only just found out this week that he has a new one. They say high stress can cause early labor. So glad I made it to "full term" and hope it's all good news and good info at my appointment. Only thing doc has really told me is that she doesn't think baby will be too large - she thinks he should be "normal" sized YAY

My mom says she thinks the crampy feelings are effacement.... so MAYBE!

 

[Jess19]

hi girls, how is everyone?
Looks like were all almost full term or there already! wow wonderful!
I don't think baby has dropped at all for me, and I'm thinking she won't. My son never did, according to the dr my pelvis was too small for him to fit. Which is why I'm thinking that she won't either
Oh how Id love to be able to breathe again lol
I have a drs appointment tomorrow, and an ultrasound yey! I'm so excited! I hope I get a good 3D pic!

 

[katy88]

Leinzlove. hi ah thanks me too all overs have been late by 9 days (or 2 days) they kept changing my due date 6 days and 4 days so hopefully not to long over with this one i wouldnt mind to much as i have 2 may babies so 2 feb babies will be nice aswell

jess19: hi ya nope not long now think im due 8 days after you my babys never drop either so always high up its so not comfy.. and with pain when i walk or move my legs or sit down with legs on the floor its not good it hurts loads (thinking spd?) XX

 

[Leinzlove]

Jch: Maybe enfacement. Do you get weekly checks? With DD I felt miserable those last few weeks. And every week there was no change... Not even at 39 weeks. It's good to keep in mind though. It's not uncommon to have no changes until labor itself, especially with the first. I hope things have been looking up with DH and the job situation.

Jess: I know right! I can't believe one week until full term. I still feel I'll make it to atleast 39 weeks. But, tomorrow I'll be allowed to go into labor at my hospital. As you have to be atleast 36 weeks to deliver there. How exciting for an ultrasound... That will be awesome. I never carried high with either of my babies...

Katy: That's crazy how some of us ladies drop and others don't. I had DD at 39 weeks but was induced for high blood pressure. No signs of it this time around. However, I have gestational diabetes and could be induced again at 39 weeks. Unless there are other reasons... I'm pushing for 40 weeks.

AFM: I'm miserable... Achy, Pains... BH, 4-5 night loo trips. But on a positive note... Zoela will be here soon. Can't wait for us all to meet our LO's.

 

[Jess19]

Well my little charlotte weighs a whooping 6lbs 4 oz!! I was so proud lol she's such a nice healthy size
Dr said if I go into labor they will just let it happen how exciting and scary at the same time, I'd love to have her here but it still seems early. I just want to make it past christmas!
