[Lillian33]

Oh Sonia I'm so sorry you're feeling down, but as Sassy said please don't feel like a bad mum, you're doing all the right things & he will be absolutely perfect. Sending lots of hugs your way

Charlie, I'm glad you're resting up after a stressful appt, fingers crossed for normal BP next Fri!

LaMere, I was wondering about that big crash in Texas too, I'm hoping DeeDee left the night before, I think that's what she had planned

Blossom, thank you for your kind words, gosh we have similar situations don't we! I'm sure our DHs will get back into a normal work routine soon & our LOs will be perfect sizes

Woohoo for the weekend!!!!

I actually went out shopping for a few things today. However, I didn't go until 10 am. I think it is ridiculous that black Friday shopping is starting on Thanksgiving night for many stores now. (Target etc were 8 pm last night) On the bright side, sales were still going on when I arrived and there weren't that many shoppers.

I did too. I went to three stores and got all I wanted and more. There were no big items I wanted and even if I had I wouldn't be in the lines to get trampled on this morning or last night. my legs however are like jello. Man bedrest has really gotten me out of shape. I can't wait til next week when I have my growth scan. I am seriously considering taking myself off bedrest (depending on how she is) because its going to be a ridiculous recovery after delivery. I am going to try to rest a little ill be back on in a bit.

Don't know if you guys remember me but hoping you are all ok!

I had a birthday, got engaged, had a surprise baby shower and have my driving test booked for when I'm 36 weeks - phew!

[Soniamillie01]

Of course we remember you hun. Glad to hear you're ok and congrats on the engagement x

 

[BlossomJ]

Lillian - Yes, strangely similar! and yey for the weekend!

Charlie - Glad to hear it

Sonia - You've done everything right, so try not to feel like that Not sure if I missed it in reading, but are the measurements based on your tummy or a growth scan? If it's your tummy they could be way off anyway. I know it's hard not to let things like that get you down, but the main thing is that you & baby stay healthy. None of this will matter in a couple of months.... and I can tell by the way you support & look after everyone on this thread that you'll be a fantastic mummy!

 

[La Mere]

Sassy & Sonia- I know she was going to her inlaws, I just heard about a huge pile up yesterday on a major Texas highway and was just hoping she wasn't involved.

And thanks, Lillian. I wasn't exactly sure when she was planning on leaving because I hadn't been on a lot. I just knew she was going to be on the road and then heard about that this morning.

 

[Soniamillie01]

Thanks Blossom, they are really kind words.
They are based on my tummy measurement, my last scan with was two weeks ago was fine, as in all measurements within 95 per centile and the AC had settled from the previous scan. X

I remember that the AC was better last time, so that's good. My tummy measurements are nearly 3 weeks off my growth scan results. Try not to worry x

 

[mellywelly]

Sonia, please don't read read anything into tummy measurements, they are no-where near accurate. I'm measuring ahead too, but when she measured its bum was sticking up! So it could just have been the way baby was laying. Although you realise the guilt trips are only just beginning? It doesn't get any easier after they are here you always wonder if you are doing something wrong or the best for them!

 

[Soniamillie01]

Thanks ladies. I'm feeling a little better than I was, I go see the consultant in two weeks so will ask more then. X

Hi ladies.

Charlie - sorry to hear about your BP but glad they are keeping an eye on it. Also sorry about work, hope you didn't do too much!

Not seen ginger online, hope she is ok. We miss you ginger

Yes, Deedee is away at her inlaws and think she said she wouldn't be online.

Glad all you US ladies had a lovey a thanks

I am doing ok. Well I guess that isn't too true. I'm really down today, had midwife check at 34 + 2 and baby is back to being breach. She said she thought he may have tried to turn at last scan as was transverse but perhaps changed his mind. She said he may still try but I would know about it as there is no space, so if he does it will be gradual. I'm also now measuring way way way ahead, 41 weeks according to her. I guess I'm more upset about that as I feel as though I'm failing my unborn child already when trying to be so good. I'm watching what I eat, have lost more than a stone since conceiving and feel generally like a bit of a failure. I know it looks like I'll have a c section which I don't mind as much as kind of used to the idea now but feel like I'm failing as a mother. Please please please do not take that the wrong way, I completely have absolutely nothing against c sections at all, I think it's maybe a combination of all of it in one go. She did say to me be prepared for him to come at any point, don't venture too far and get that bag packed.

I'm back at consultant on dec 7 so they should decide then I guess. I did have a scan booked but they cancelled it. Maybe they'll do another one now to see position and size. She booked me to see her for the 14 dec but said I don't expect to see you to be honest.

I'm ok, just a little down and shattered which isn't helping. Hardly seeing DH as he is on nights so have my gorgeous niece here tonight to keep me company and cheer me up xx

Awe sweetie dnt feel like that! Ur doung ur best!

How was shopping there today? I thought about it, but was worried about the crowds.

Hi ladies! Hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving. I did!
I'd been starting to feel itchy last weekend and it got worse and worse each day until I couldn't take any more. I called my doctor and told her how bad it was, she recommended coming in to get bile acid levels blood drawn. It turns out that I have cholestasis of pregnancy (or ICP, or obstetric cholestasis). It's kinda scary when you look up what can happen with it. But I trust my doctor, I'm getting twice weekly NST's in addition to my weekly ob visits and we will deliver at 37 weeks, which is only 2 1/2 weeks away!!

 

[sassy_mom]

Wow 2.5 weeks!!! I bet you are excited!

Sorry about the diagnosis but I am sure they are taking good care of you!

 

[BlossomJ]

I'm sorry Els At least you know where you are though & can make sure baby is delivered early enough to significantly reduce the risks. It's more than likely there'll be no complications this way as I understand it. Fingers crossed anyway

Not long at all, how exciting!

 

[Lillian33]

Oh Els so sorry about your diagnosis, but its a little exciting that you'll have your LO in around 2 weeks!!!!

Emydra, good to hear from you! Huge congrats, you have had an exciting few months!!

I have a mattress protector under the sheet but that is it. Really you may not even need that until they are out of diapers. I kept mine on their but when we switched DD to a toddler bed (we used the same mattress) and she started potty training, that is when we really needed the mattress protector.
