January Jellybeans 2013!...

Poppy my measurements are exactly the same, I started worrying a bit that I'm starving baby or something but my midwife didn't seem worried so I haven't stressed too much about it. I'll definitely ask next time if he's still behind.

Oooo are people from the uk buddying up?

I had my midwife appointment today and baby is breech but still has time to move. When I was 24wks my tummy measured 24cm, when I was 28wks my tummy measured 28cm and I'm now 33wks but my tummy measured 31cm. Does that mean my tummy hasn't grown enough?

Do you have a growth chart in your handheld notes? That should show you where you are in relation to what's expected. I wouldn't worry too much about one measurement though, unless the MW is concerned. With DS the measurement was smaller at 34 weeks than 30wks, but obviously had hadn't shrunk

It's based on your pre pregnancy height & weight. I'm not sure what formula the NHS uses to get an individual's projected measurements though. Maybe where you are the midwives just keep your chart on your main medical record & don't give you a copy.

I've just googled and its only if its 2cm more/less that it can mean slow/excessive growth and even then it could depend on things like someone different doing the measuring or baby being in a different position

Oooh excellent thanks Deedee, I will find you then I can find everyone else in your friends list!!

 

[Poppy84]

Oooops! I think I unsubscribed somehow!

I always do that and then wonder why no one had written in the thread for a while haha

 

[sassy_mom]

Whew! You ladies were busy while I was away. It was just a few hours!

I think I got everyone added on facebook

Except Deedee, I can't find you. Apparently my stalking skills are terrible. hahahahaha!

Doctor visit ... I got there and they told me I had the wrong day. Apparently she wrote the wrong day on the card .... I got home and checked my card and she had written the 6 like a 0 so I thought it was the 20th instead of the 26th. Oh well! At least the weather was nice so I got some fresh air.

 

[AJThomas]

SUPER excited that there's only 44 days to go (6w 2d!!) But at the same time soooo freaked out that my house won't be ready in time and I'll have all the cleanup and setting up to do with a newborn in tow.

Also that throws off my home birth plans, my mother is totally against it so I doubt I can do it at my parent's house, which is where I'm staying. If it comes to it, I can use my Dad's office which is just a stone's throw from their house, I'll have as much privacy as I need, a bed, a tub, whatever I'll need is accessible so that's one option. Hoping my house will be done tho and I won't have to consider that.

 

[sassy_mom]

haha Deedee I found you! lol!

 

[darkstar]

My facebook is https://www.facebook.com/melissajones77 if anyone wants to add

 

[BlossomJ]

Sassy - Oops! Sounds like something I would do

AJ - Hope your house is ready. I imagine it won't quite be the same giving birth in your dad's office, but at least you have options

 

[Lillian33]

Damn work blocking facebook ha ha! Will have to find everyone tonight

 

[snowangel187]

Ugh. I'm burning like crazy today. Heartburn is terrible and my stomach is on fire. I must be going through a growth spurt it hurts to move, it hurts to sit still. My belly is stretching like crazy today.

 

[La Mere]

Now I actually have a reason to get on FB more often

On a side note: I got my secret santa all ready to send out!

And on a slightly down note: I have been feeling shitty ALL day! Hubby has been feeling the same way, sick to the stomach, no appetite... Ever since breakfast. And my poor little Rayven threw up 3-4 times and got it all over her clothes. We think it was the potatoes we fried for breakfast this morning... And on top of that I have been helping some, nothing to stressful, just slinging some shovel fulls of dirt for mixing concrete for the house.. But now I am having crazy, somewhat painful, mostly uncomfortable BH.

 

[DeedeeBeester]

haha Deedee I found you! lol!

Just saw! LOL Added you missy!!
