I'm just thankful its on the side of his head and is mostly covered by his hair. Could you imagine if they had cut his face?

Good morning ladies. Hope everyone is doing ok. I had to call and change my appointment as they have switched DH's schedule around and the receptionist had to put me on hold and then said well if you want to see your doctor it will have to be after the first of the year. I busted out laughing at her. She didn't seem amused but I finally said well I would have my baby already but thanks. I told her the other doctor was fine because I had seen her before. This receptionist is not the friendliest person and I don't like when I have to deal with her at the office. I do wonder though if I won't be able to see my doctor anymore because her schedule seems to be full. I hate that because I really like her. Oh well. I have a feeling that she just didn't look at my chart because I always get to see my doctor and she is always busy. lol! But I am one of her patients so they put me in.

This morning I woke up and I really don't feel pregnant. Is that odd? Maybe it was because I slept decent last night. Everyone keeps telling me I won't make it past this coming weekend. My stomach is sitting so low now everyone jokes that she is just going to drop right out. I know she is very low and her movements have decreased dramatically and I have a bunch of other signs that the end is near ... ... but I just can't hop on board fully with everyone else saying it won't be into January. Not sure why. Maybe because I don't want to get my hopes up. lol! I wish they would stop trying to make me get excited.

Has anyone else forgotten that it is Christmas in 8 days? I think with DH's new job and crazy schedule and the excitement of the new baby, I forgot about Christmas! Thankfully I'm done shopping and have everything wrapped but it just has kind of slipped my mind that it really is almost here. Maybe we will be celebrating with a new family member this year. That would be so exciting!

Ok I think I have rambled off long enough. Going to try and get some things straightened and finish working on my blanket. Hope you ladies have a wonderful day!

Oh Sonia have they heard anymore on your niece? Is she doing alright?

 

[sassy_mom]

I have a question ... Is it a big deal or does it have any effect on the possibility of bf if you can't get anymore of the colostrum out anymore? For a week or so if I squeeze, nothing comes out anymore. Before it would just be a tiny bit and I haven't had any leaking but I was just wondering if it seeming to stop coming out means anything?

About the cutting the baby I've had 2 cesarians and that has never happened and I have friends too that its never happened to I think if u have a dr. That knows what he's doing there should b no worries about that

 

[DeedeeBeester]

I'm trying to find a pattern. I noticed this morning that my nipples get sore right before I get hungry. I'm going to keep a track on it, to see if it is so.

I woke up an hour ago and want to go back to sleep, I wonder if they will say anything about my Iron with my blood work, wouldn't surprise me with how tired I've been feeling.

I think the C Sec cut issue isn't about Drs knowing what they are doing or not, I think it must be one of those things that happen n out of n amount of c secs. I'd still have one if it meant saving Matthew.

 

[Kaiecee]

Out if all the fears I have about another c section having Riley get cut isn't one but u can talk to ur dr. If its a fear

I'm also extremely tired I was wondering about my iron too

 

[jrowenj]

Went on my hospital tour And now I'm freaking out about having to push this sucker out!

I noticed this happen within the last few days... Not sure if it will cause issues once LO is here.....

You'll do awesome! Don't stress! Just remember women have been doing this for ... well EVER. You will be awesome like all the rest of them and you will have your sweet little boy!

 

[AJThomas]

That happened to me too Sassy, where I squeezed and nothing, I increased my water intake tho and got quite a bit the following day. I dunno if that's what's happening to u tho, I know I was slacking off on my water quite a bit when that happened.

Ughhhhh

Also, I was having discharge when I squeezed and the past week I've only been able to get any out immediately after a hot shower

Charlie- I've heard spinningbabies.com has good techniques on turning a breech baby.

Not sure who asked about having less colostrum, but in one of my new parent classes the instructor mentioned losing your placenta is what triggers your milk. I think that's why they say leaking is not an indication of how well your milk will come in.

I've started getting menstrual cramps and backache along with the bh. I've read it's my body prepping for labor. Guess this thing is really happening . Still can't believe it will be just a few more weeks til most of us have our little ones!

 

[Soniamillie01]

Hi ladies.

CharlieO - is there still time for baby to move? We were breech at 35 then turned by 37 at presentation scan so still a chance maybe?

Sassy - thanks for asking hun and for everyone's concern. She seems ok and my brother has her booked in to see her gp today for some bloods.

Afm - well I thought things were happening last night, regular tightenings every 5 or so minutes, not painful so knew it wasn't anything major but hoped if may have been the start of it. Thought I'd get some sleep in case and woke up a few times but nothing further. Feel a little disappointed and also secretly relieved a little? Lol.

DH and I have been shopping today and we've walked for ages! I could slap myself as left my bank card in a shop, in a shopping centre 50 miles away!

Hi Ladies! Just an update (if you didnt already see on my facebook!)

Went for ultrasound and NST today, and baby is doing perfectly. She is in the 77th percentile at 5lbs 15oz, or 6 lbs in other words. Fluid levels good. Still got her hair growing crazy!!

NST was showing the contractions consistently again so they wanted to check me internally AGAIN.. Not only that but Ive been nauseous for two days straight with back pain so it is def the contractions putting me down for the count. I am 1 cm dilated. baby is engaged... so they are letting nature take its course. That doesnt mean shell be here any earlier, but it does show us that shes ready and my body is prepping for labor and is all very normal She will be full term in a week and a half and the doctor said even if she wanted to make an appearance early, he wouldnt stop it... esp being only 1 cm dilated. I just hope she stays in til 37 weeks (Which i think she will! )

Just kinda crazy this is all happening as many of your are saying. WE can do it girls!!!

They are also checking me on Thursday internally, and again on Monday(Christmas eve when i go in for my ultrasound.)

 

[darkstar]

Well we had our growth scan, bump is about 6lbs at 35+2 weeks, he is MOST definitely a he! He has beautiful chubby little cheeks and lots of hair according to the scna tech. On the down side, he's breech. Bum firmly in my pelvis, and head and feet wedged under my ribs on the left had side. Have to decide if we want to try to turn him manually or have a c-section, by friday. Any help on this topic ladies? x

Yikes I'm in the same position but waiting for the svan to confirm. We won't be going for the turning though, would be c section for us

 

[DeedeeBeester]

La-Di-Da

 

[jrowenj]

Sounds like a good appt, Nikki!

I get my first internal tmrw morning. Looking forward to hearing how I'm coming along but def dreading the exam

 

[Nikkilewis14]

oh hun it doesnt hurt! Dont be surprised if they say your 1-2cm dilated already. Perfectly normal

 

[DeedeeBeester]

They told my sister she was 1 cm dilated at 37 weeks and she didn't have her baby 'til induction day 10 days after her D Date. It can happen suuuuuuuuuper slow as it can the same day before time. Haha, it's just crazy that we don't know when. Right now I say I can't wait, but I know I'll be scared sh@@less when it all actually begins. LOL

 

[Nikkilewis14]

Yeaa exactly deedee, it can all happen fast or slow, all depends on your body and when baby is ready... ON thursday when he checked me i wasnt dilated.. and then today I was at 1cm, so i was like.. ohhh ok lol.. doesnt mean anything though haha
