Ooh forgot to say, 34 weeks today! Woo! Although I know most of you are sleeping now :)
 
Hi everyone,

My name is Laura and Im due on January 30th. I have a 2 yr old little girl named Tessa and this baby is a boy.
I will be having a planned c-section on the 18th or 25th of January if I make it that long and my growth scan at 32-34 weeks is showing no problems.

I'm not sure what else to say here but read a post suggesting I make a post in my due date month so here I am!!!! LOL

Hope everyones pregnancies are going well.

If you look back, You'll see we talk about EVERYTHING here- and it's great because our due dates are so close together so we more often than not are able to sympathize with what everyone's going through.

One big thing that we've been doing is sharing our fb pages and arranging text buddies... since most of us aren't able to update WHILE we're in the hospital, we can have a friend or 2 we can text our update and who can post on our behalf and let the rest of the Jellybeans know what's going on with us.

Again, Welcome! and don't worry, you'll get to know a few of us pretty well in no time... I don't know about the other ladies, but I post more on this thread than everywhere else put together! lol
 
Thankyou! I've been on B&B for a while but never in January Jellybeans! It seems a nice little group!

How's your pregnancy been?
 
I love the text buddy idea! Not sure if I will need someone to post for me as I have an iphone and can pretty much go anywhere with it...although I have not checked if I can post on here from it. I should check that out.!

I do have some questions thou...seeming as this pg is sooo different from my last.

How much weight (if you dont mind sharing) have some of you gained by 29 weeks? Ive been really concerned about my weight. At my lasat appt (22wks) I had only gained a total of like 6 lbs. With my daughter I had gained 17lbs by 20wks. Now i was about 15-20lbs heavier starting this pregnancy but with my past history of IUGR I am worried.

Anyone wanna share their weight gain with me pls???

I started out at about 130 pounds... I think... then in the 1st tri I lost 15 pounds... not because of MS since I didn't have any though... now I'm back up to 134 as of wednesday. Don't know if this helps at all. I don't look like I've gained any weight except for in my uterus- people tell me I'm all baby. and I definitely don't look pregnant from behind! As long as your doctor/OB/MW says you're ok, don't worry about it! You might just be carrying this one really well.
 
With my first I was 129 to start and gained 27lbs total. This one i was 155 to start. I go see Dr on monday so will know more then. According to my pictures I have gained quite a bit since 25 weeks so we will see. Im just horribly worried ill have another teeny tiny baby and maybe wont be so lucky that he will be healthy like my daughter was.
Ive mentioned to dr a few times but just kinda brushes it off saying that I am gaining some weight. Im just not so sure its enough.
my daughter stopped growing around 30-32 weeks. And im 29 weeks almost. Dr did say that there is no way to prevent iugr ahead of time other than quitting smoking (please dont yell at me...i get enough of it around here. But I have not quit) Dr just basically said we will deal with it if it happens. I just dont know...if im not gaining weight how can i be sure my baby is gaining? Also with my daughter I kept gaining and growing but she did not. its very frustrating

And as for the quitting. OH said he would quit with me so it would be easier. I know its not a very good excuse but he didnt even try. Just told me everyone he knows smokes and had nice size babies. His mom smoked 2 pks a day with him, his sister and his two brothers and they all came out fine. he thinks it was just bad luck that our little girl was soo small and he keeps reminding me that she was healthy and our boy will be too even if he is small. I think we were lucky that she was so healthy and thats what the dr and mw told me at the time.

Ok Ok im just rambling on and on now. Sorry ladies
 
Here is my bump. Its obvious at the moment that baby has been growing. but 6 lbs doesn't seem like much when I only have like 10-11 weeks left.

Sar... I know someone else already answered your question, but I'll reiterate it. Down on the bottom of each person's message, there are 2 purple boxes. Quote and thanks. In between them are 2 other links. one is QR, which is quick reply. the other looks like this: "+ If you click on the quotation mark/plus symbol, it will save your intention to quote it, without taking you to the reply screen. You can do this with as many messages as you'd like, even if they're on different pages. When you finally click "Post Reply" at the bottom of the page, it will include all of the messages you have quoted.

Hopefully I didn't confuse you more, as my explanations always tend to be lengthy.

Okay, you explained that TONS better than I did... plus, its a smarter way! Leave it to me to find the difficult way to do something... :dohh: lol
 
Right, I am trying the multi quoting but I don't think it's worked coz nothing has come up. Mrs Parks, 23rd Jan will be my 30th birthday - good due date!

Laura, I've gained an absolute *&^% load of weight - the dr thinks it's a stone (er...16lb?) because when they weighed me at 8 wks I'd already put on 16lb from quitting my diet when I found out I was pregnant. Beig overweight to begin with, I shouldn't really have put on any. Oops. Midwife seems happy enough. Also, my stepsister-in-law is pregnant and her baby hasn't grown since about 29 wks and she's 35 now. They're scanning twice a week but leaving him as long as poss for his lungs to develop because his heartbeat and other signs are all perfectly fine. To be honest I was quite worried abut his lack of growth but the professionals seem to think that as long as it isn't affecting development in other areas then he's still better off in utero and I guess they'd know. Don't worry, either way- stress releases a hormone which CAN prevent growth so (in a bizarre catch 22) it's better not to worry about it. If your daughter was fine then (fingers crossed) the chances are your son will be too (although there are probably lots of cases which don't prove this, I'm fairly sure, statistically speaking that it's pretty much spot on - if in doubt, statistics always help me through).
 
See - totally buggered the whole multi-quote thing. I suck.

Also, I had awful dreams last night. BOOOOOO
 
ok so seems like I can't do the multiquote thing either! Now to see if I remember....

Firstly welcome to the new ladies :hi: Have you just moved over from 2nd tri? Hope your all having great pregnancies! I have a 4 year old son already and now having a girl this time and my name is Jo!

I've put a stone and half on up to now, thats 21lb for you that count in pounds, think I'm heavier than last pg but I've had shocking sickness this time round, if I don't eat I get sick so quick that even the vomiting didn't make me lose weight :haha:

completely forgot anything else I wanted to say so bye and hope everyone got a nice weekend planned! x
