January Jellybeans 2013!...

[darkstar]

I had my scan and baby has turned, he is head down! Everything looks great and he's currently weighing in at 6 pound 11 ounces roughly. We got some pictures and he's got the cutest chubby cheeks, I hadn't seen him on scan since 20 weeks.

OH is quitting smoking.. we're on day 3 and he's in the crankiest mood right now. I'm trying to be patient but this is about the 7th time he's tried to quit this year so I'm kind of over it Its nice he wants to finally quit before baby comes but if he ruins Christmas with his moods and then starts up smoking again and it's all for nothing (again) I'm gonna be mad.

DSo glad he turned! (and a little jealous!)

Thanks, you never know yours still might! My midwife was certain mine was still breech at 36 +3, today I'm 37 so its happened somewhere in between there. I was having bad cramps yesterday and lots of painful movement so I think he may have only just turned.

Great news Darkstar! What a relief

Span - Crossing my fingers you get your HB. I'm off to bed, so good luck! Also good reminder with the prunes... I had a nightmare doing a BM after DS & don't want a repeat! I was in hospital for about 5 days & they weren't at all bothered I hadn't done one before being discharged, it was me that was concerned.

Hope labour has at least started when I check back and maybe even a baby?! And don't worry about Meg. She'll love being a big sister!

Brieri - Sounds like it could be happening for you too!

Melly - Hope DS has a lovely day. I don't think he'll care about the card either.

I can still feel his head in my ribs, so i dont think he has yet, i've been sitting on my ball and trying some of the spinning babies poses, in the hope of getting him round but so far, no dice! Some still turn right up until the end, so i'll just keep my fingers crossed for now!!

I hope he can stick with it because I can see that if he starts smoking again its going to cause arguments, I can't stand letting babies anywhere near a smoker. One of my other children was asthmatic as a baby and its scary watching your baby having an attack (and he wasn't near smokers at all).

He doesn't smoke inside the house or in our car, he was smoking in his own car but stopped when I refused to travel in it pregnant and that caused enough argument but he eventually stopped.

Sorry to whine on. It was such good news at the scan that we don't have a breech baby anymore and then he ruined it by having a tantrum because he wanted a smoke and now he's having a nap so I'm enjoying the peace while it lasts (and I'll tip toe around the house so I don't wake the monster lol).

Its rough having to deal with quitting smoking. I told my husband we couldn't have a baby until he quit smoking, which gave him a lot of incentive to work hard at it, he wants to have a baby so bad, but it didn't make him any less difficult to deal with for me. Its a lot easier now that he's out of the marine corps, but while he was in, like 90% of his coworkers smoked and would offer him cigarettes and insinuate that he didn't look like a man without a cigarette in his hand. But he stuck with it and now its been a year in February.

I would guess not 7 hours! Usually after I orgasm, I cramp for maybe 15 minutes. Maybe this is it for you?!?

You spotting/bleeding/leaking anything??? Time those suckers!

I've been bleeding a little bit since the sex, but that isn't very unusual for me since about 24 weeks in. They get a lot worse when I'm standing and a lot easier to deal with when I'm sitting down, so I'm actually thinking this probably isn't the real deal.

Isn't that the way AJ described her contractions? Sent you a Facebook request for the group.

Was it? I thought hers just got closer together while walking, but not less painful when sitting down. I'll have to go back and check. I'm gonna drag my husband out for a walk before dinner, maybe something will happen. Thanks for the request.

From my experience, if you can't talk though the contractions, they are real! When I was having them and tried to call my Dr's office, I could barely talk to the secretary. The next time I talked to her on the phone after Christian was born, she said she knew they were the real thing because she could tell I was having trouble telling her what was going on.

 

[Lauren021406]

Im having alot of discharge, but its clear and the constinency of water. I have been having alot of bh today but nothing consistent. I dont know if its a slow leak or normal. I have a dr appt in the morning so i will ask then.

 

[Nikkilewis14]

[ARuppe716]

Hey ladies, random question... I have a spot on my bump that is super itchy. It doesn't look different except near it I have a few new darker stretch marks from dropping. The spot itches all the time and has done so for a few days. I don't have any other itching and there are no raised bumps, etc. any thoughts? I

 

[DeedeeBeester]

I switched my who can contact me setting to everyone, maybe it'll work now? Sorry I'm so difficult.

Sorry I didn't see this sooner, I wasn't home. I've searched for you again and seen Melly has you added now

It's from the stretch marks Try some lotion.

 

[ARuppe716]

Thank you, I just had dh put some on. I've had itching before with the stretching just never this bad! Or so concentrated in one little spot

 

[BabyHopeful2]

I'm ready to freak out. Less than 48 hours and I go to the hospital to induce labor.

 

[mommyof2peas]

Thank you, I just had dh put some on. I've had itching before with the stretching just never this bad! Or so concentrated in one little spot

I got most of mine from my first pregnancy, they have just been growing with each baby LOL I will never wear a two piece lol

I had it yesterday on the pointy part of tummy, the one spot felt like an ant bit me lol I had to put lots of lotion on that one spot. Feel better hun

 

[brieri1]

I can't tell if I'm having more serious contractions or if the baby is just moving and that's what's making it hurt so bad. Instead of a stomach tightening and the that builds into pain, I'm getting this stomach tightening, and then waves of pain. It doesn't help that she is moving a bit during them.
