For those who haven't heard, Shelli had a C-section and in her words,

" He's here and doing well. Born at 2:06am
weighing 4lb5oz. Gone to NICU but
breathing on his own"


Congrats, Shelli

[Lucy529]

Happy new weeks ladies !!!

 

[mommytobe11]

Thanks desp!

Crazy that I'll be 9 months in two weeks!! The countdown beginssss!

 

[vtjess423]

Happy new weeks to everyone switching over! We are all getting so close. I'm sure we'll be seeing more babies born soon!

Congrats to Shelli!! Nate is a beautiful baby boy and I hope he continues to do well and you both can go home soon.

And lian, that definitely sounds scary! I'm glad you are both OK, though.

I'm glad to hear that your appointment went well, desp, and that your bp is good and so is baby!

I have my next appointment on Friday and I think my doctor said she'll be testing me for group b strep as well as checking my cervix then but I'm not positive. That might be the following appointment. So it may be an interesting appointment.

And Srrme, I can totally relate on the rescheduled appointments. My last appointment got rescheduled TWICE because my doctor ended up scheduling surgeries (I'm assuming c-sections) during both of my selected times. Hopefully yours won't get rescheduled again. Good Luck!

 

[Lucy529]

Lian how scary glad your ok tho

I'm a pet owner but I know my dog can be stubborn and will bark at people I keep him on a leash when we go for walks and make sure to tell people not to touch bc he will bite, I hate going to the park bc there are people who let their dogs run wild and they run at you scares the crap out of me glad your putting a complaint in owners need to be responsible

 

[lindsayms05]

Congrats Shelli! I'll continue to keep you and your lo in my thoughts for a quick recovery and nicu stay!

Lian - Omg, that would have been terrifying. I'm glad nothing serious happened and I hope they are able to force the pet owner to get their animal under control. I have a dog that is skittish of strangers but I would never let her run free anywhere. It is 100% the pet owners responsibility to make sure they are keeping other people and animals safe around their animal.

As for me, I already talked about my scan I had Monday but I forgot to add the pic we got! This was the first clear 3D picture we were able to get and she looks exactly like her dad. My next appointment is Friday for an NST, so I'm hoping it's smooth sailing and no more contractions. He also has me scheduled for a growth scan on Monday since it has been a month since they took measurements. I will continue to get weekly ultrasounds and NST's until Evie is born. I'm anxious to hear how big she has gotten. She was 3lbs12oz about a month ago and in the 73 percentile so I'm a little nervous to hear her size now since I've gotten a much more obvious bump in the last month or so. Hoping she's not a whopper, lol.

Also, here is a picture of her nursery so far. We still have more organizing to do and her floor needs a good sweeping but it's coming right along!

@vtjess,
I have my next appt Monday at 35wk 1 day, getting the group B Strep done. I think they prefer 34-36 wks for that. I think my cervix checks start the time after that, but, hey, if they're up there anyway...
My friend said the strep B test was horrible, I can't imagine it's worse than a pap though... anybody know? I know they usually do a vaginal and rectal swab, my doc just said vaginal, but maybe he didn't want me to panic?

 

[mommytobe11]

The nursery looks great, Lindsay!

Melann, I didn't find the group b that bad. My doc was super quick with it. He did a vaginal and rectal swab.

Speaking of group b testing, does anyone know if you still have to get it done if you're having a planned csection? I'm assuming yes in case my body does decide to work for once and go into labor? It wasn't bad last time but I just hate the idea of someone going near the "back door"

 

[lindsayms05]

Melann I haven't have the group B swab yet but I did have the swab to test for the chances of going into labor within the next 2 weeks and it wasn't a big deal at all. I'm not sure how different the strep swab would be but I'm thinking it can't be too bad? From what it says online, I think it is vaginal and rectal but I think the swab is pretty small.

 

[lindsayms05]

Thank you!

I'm not sure about group B and a scheduled csection. I would assume yes just in case.

 

[Twag]

Do we have the group b swab here the uk? I have not heard or read about it in my midwife notes

 

[Lucy529]

Lindsay she is precious. love the nursery coming along great

Does everyone get the group B strep check? I've not heard anything about it

 

[mommytobe11]

From what I have heard only on BnB, it seems like the UK ladies don't get the group b testing. But I think majority of doctors in the US do it.

 

[Lucy529]

Mommy I might need to ask my dr about it then haven't been told anything about it.

 

[hakunamatata]

I had a strep B test last time with Fumfy and will again this time with Bobby. Was negative last time, hopefully same result this time.

why it's done

 

[Radiance]

Appointment is tomorrow! A lot of blood will be taking and u/s next week
