January Jellybeans 2013!...

[Poppy84]

It seems like an awful lot of us have something or other which places us in the high risk category or is just just a total pain in the neck. Is there anyone left who doesn't have GD, High blood pressure, small baby, SPD, spotting.... etc etc? Don't know if this is unusual, or just typical now that the monitoring of pregnancies has advanced so much?

I don't have any of those things but I do have a low lying placenta. I had high blood pressure before I got pregnant but it is gone down since

I forget but which ladies failed the GD quick screen and had to do the 3 hour test and passed? What were your quick screen results (I know they differ and you cant base an outcome on others) but i was just curious!

I keep wanting to eat my fruit snack but im feeling guilty if i do, and i havent even been diagnosed with GD yet! I wont know until friday what my fait is

I forgot to ask my numbers after the whole excitement of the "You Passed" words. I know how that is, I waited almost 2 weeks to know if I had it or not and hubby even had me in an exercise regimen haha

 

[DeedeeBeester]

Speaking of exercise regimens LOL My out of breath part of pregnancy is at its best or worse LOL Take me to the Target on a busy shopping day, park the car a little far away from the door and you'll have me catching my breath by the time I go threw the door hahahahahaha It's incredible and very shameful!

 

[sassy_mom]

I am very thankful the SPD is all that I have. It seems to be worse if I'm in one position for too long so I think I'm learning to deal with it pretty well. Pregnancy is very taxing on our bodies and there can really be a host of issues so I am overly thankful for every thing being right on. I'm always telling DH that the grand idea of making humans wasn't well thought out. There just had to be a better way. My grandma jokes that there should have just been a store where we all could have gone.

I get out of breath too Deedee. I went to take out my trash and feed my dog and was huffing when I got back. You would've thought I had just tried to run a marathon.

 

[Betheney]

I'm so sick of not being able to breath!!!! It's not even shortness of breath. It's like my lungs have halved in capacity and I'm constantly suffocating.

Yes! exactly

 

[DeedeeBeester]

Ok, I feel like your thread spam now, but: NJ GIRLS, IS IT SNOWING NOW TOO?!!!! Jeeeeesh! Stay safe, Girls without power stay super warm!!! Praying for you!

Urgh I know how that feels. I was so short of breath last week and then my bump seems to have dropped quite dramatically and I can breath again. Am still out of breath from climbing one flight of stairs though and everyone at work keeps telling me off for not using the lift.

Snow - I hope baby has started moving again. My little one keeps giving me frights by being super quiet and then just when I am about to phone the hospital getting super active. They are having a very active day today, but yesterday was quiet.

I feel lucky that I am having a fairly healthy pregnancy so far. My only slight issue at the moment is a possible low lying placenta, but they are going to do another scan at 36 weeks to check and apparently in most cases it will have moved up and out of the way by that point. Lets hope so!

Man, I am so tired. I was awake from 4am to 6am last night so am off to bed! Take care everyone.

 

[ARuppe716]

Yes DeeDee it's snowing here!! I've heard forecasts of anything from 2 to 6 inches!! Crazy!

Sister posted pictures. It's crazyyy crazyy!

 

[sassy_mom]

Wow ... it is snowing now! Normally I would say how beautiful but I know with no power and just having gone through that mess of a storm it is the last thing anybody wants up there.

All of you ladies up there please stay safe and warm!!

 

[BlossomJ]

Sassy - I've heard SPD can be super painful, so sounds like you're being brave. Glad you're coping we'll though

Lilah - Yey for minimal complications! Hope that placenta moves

 

[BlossomJ]

I'm off to bed - Hope everyone still without heat and/or power is ok & you don't get any further damage from the current bad weather

 

[darkstar]

My only complaint is SPD and low iron although thankfully the SPD has eased off a lot now and I barely notice it. I think it was aggrevated when I was working and not sitting in a proper chair at my desk and now that I'm not working it has improved. Thankfully no other health problems apart from being really tired every afternoon and not capable of much more than laying on the couch. I'm learning to do work in the mornings while I have the energy so I can rest in the afternoon.

I just spent the last couple of hours sorting out the nursery. We had just been dumping things in there so it's getting all organised now and looks good, I cleaned all the windows and polished the dresser up as it's an old vintage one I love. Put some clothes away and unpackaged various items, i have a heap of rubbish sitting to be disposed of now. I just have to sort out some new curtains and other bits and pieces like artwork I'm making, wash the rest of the clothes and sew some more bibs and burp cloths and swaddle wraps etc. Getting there slowly!

When I saw my midwife on Monday she informed me the small hospital I'm delivering at gives very few epidurals. You won't get one if you ask nicely you have to satisfy an obstetrician that there is a medical need for one.. I was banking on having one as I did with my second baby and loved it, now I'm trying to get my head around the likelihood that I won't.

 

[Lauren021406]

Yes it snowing here.... Now they say power will not be restored until Sunday....thankfully my parents have power and we can stay there but i miss my house!

 

[AJThomas]

My only (and constant) complaint is not being able to breathe. Exercise fixed my spd and leg cramps it seems, altho the bigger. Baby gets the more careful I have to be, the least bit of walking and my calves feel like they're going to lock up on me. I'm nervous that baby will be small but I have no good reason to think that.

 

[snowangel187]

Thanks ladies, she has been moving. She isn't necessarily as active as she normally is, but does pass the "kick count" and a little more. I plan on keeping a really close eye on it tomorrow and keeping it low key. And hopefully I'll be able to wait til my nst Friday before needing to go in.

I think I have a cold too.

The good news is I did accomplish a lot today. Finished washing baby's blankets and towels and folded and put away all laundry. Put together her bouncy seat, now I just need batteries I bought the wrong size I need to vacuum and shampoo baby's rug (and by I, I mean dh )

 

[La Mere]

Glad to hear she started moving and passed the kick count Keep us updated on how you and little miss are doing, Snow.

Blossom- I don't have GD, or any other of the things you mentioned. Guess I'm just extremely lucky. *knock on wood*

Hope all you girls still without power are staying safe and warm. The snow must suck...

 

[Nikkilewis14]

awesome news snow! everyone stay warm. I was driving home from work and the snow started! Its pretty frigid out there. I know the east coast girls have safe places to stay so thats a relief!
